MRS. HEN AND HER HUSBAND.
Important Personaees in the Future
Prosperity of the Great West.

1t is only within the last few years
that the Western farmers have com.
menced to realize the Importance OF
the lowly hen and her husband in the
great economic development of the
West. Most farmers have usually
turned over the poultry end of the
ranch to their women folks" and
nave regarded that part of the ranch
as OF very little importance. The es-
Enlistment of the National Western
Poultry Show as a department of the
big annual show at Denver opened the
eyes of many to the Importance OF this
INDUSTRY and the fact that good blood
counted in poultry breeding just the
same as in breeding horses and cattle.
As a direct result of this first big
show, farmers and stockmen from all
parts of the West carried home some
fancy bred chickens and results have
been so satisfactory that there has
been a universal demand that the
show be continued The National
Western Poultry Show to be held IN
connection with the stock show at
Denver January 1920, will be the
greatest exhibition of fine poultry
ever held west of the Missouri river
Entries are being maze from all parts
vi the west anu the net result VIII
be an exhibition that will rank this
show among the greatest national af-
fairs of the kind held in this country.
Judges of national reputation have
been secured and the size of the show
will only be limited by the amount
Of room at the disposal of the show
management.
This feature of the big winter show
in Denver is one of the most popular
to the farmers and ranchmen and
their wives 1t provides an oppor-
runity for them to secure some choice
bred birds OF whatever breed they
fancy and the results will be noticed
shortly in the increased production
and better quality of the poultry and
eggs produced in the West.

THE STANDARD BRED HORSE.
An American Type That at Last VIII
Be Recognized in the Sho"
Ring.

Ring.
At last the standard bred horse, one
u the few types OF American live
stock in existence. is TO be recognized
with a classification in the show ring
A. the Denver show in January. For
ears the educational institutions have
protested against the standard bred
rOtter as not the horse to recommend
o the American farmer. This pre-
udice was largely due to the fact that
he breed was principally regarded as
4 race horse and while they were bred
ly thousands of American farmers al
most every breeder was busy watching
lis colts for the development of the
300. OOO trotter that all have hoped
or and so few have realized But
here has been a class of breeders
through the West who have con-
sistently bred this horse for utility
The farmer not only wants a horse
o pillow and draw heavy loads, but he
wants a light horse that can take him
10 town easily and quickly and as
natter of fact this type of horse has
grown to be one of the most useful
and popular all over the country.
The action of the United states gov
arnment in selecting this breed from
NElCn 10 develop an amer lNaA "a
.iage horse has had the effect of turn
ng attention to this breed in late
years and investigation shows that as
L foundation type for either carriage
horse or fancy saddler. there is none
better. At the Denver Stock Show,
which opens on January 18th, a null
classification has been made for the
Standard breed and it will be we'll
filed. With the exhibition of the new
American carriage horse founded on
his type, the harness horses from all
parts of the country in the horse show,
aearly all of them with more or less
Standard blood, the show is likely to
prove OF great interest in an educa-
ional way as 10 the possibilities in
his great American breed. The only
.rouble with the breed is that it mas
been bred for speed and without re,
gard to size or conformation. Intellt
gent breeding will make this one OF
the greatest breeds in the world.

DOCTORS SHIFT.
Now Gets Along Without 1t.

A physician says: Until last fall
used to eat meat for my breakfast and
suffered with indigestion until the
meat had passed from the stomach.
Last fall 1 began the use of Grape.

found I could do without meat, for my
body got all the nourishment neces.
sary from the Grape-Nuts and since
then I have not had any indigestion
and am feeling better and have In
creased in weight.
Since finding the benefit I derived
from Grape-Nuts have prescribed the
food for all my patients suffering from
indigestion or overlooking and also
for those recovering from disease

The reason for the wonderful
amount of nUtriment, and the easy

In the first place, the starchy part
of the wheat and barley goes through
various processes of cooking. to per

The parts in the wheat and barley
