DISPOSITION OF MALE BIRDS
Costs Too Much to Keep Over Winter
and They Produce Nothing
Needs Much Care.

After the breeding season is over
we are confronted with the problem
what to do with the old cock. If we
keep him over the winter he will cost
us dearly, and will not be producing
anything, and on the other hand, if
we sell him we will be forced to buy
another one in the spring to take his
place that will cost several times
what the feed would cost to keep the
old one through the winter.
If we keep him we must provide a
separate pen for him, thus causing
an extra expense and care, says wri-
ter in an exchange. He will eat about
three times as much when separated
as when left with the hers.
It has been our experience that to
sell the old cock as soon as the breed
ing season was over was the better
plan by far. For if we keep him we
could only use him with the old hens,
for we would not want him to breed
sith his own daughters. Then we

The growing of cherries, certain
classes of plums, and fall and early

rapidly to the front. There are many
localities where this line can be
followed Already several orchards

NO MEDICINE
But Change Of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start IN the alimen-
tary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any
of the starchy food we eat-white
bread, pastry, potatoes, oats, etc
these things are digested in the small
intestines, and if we eat too much, as
most of us do, the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta-
ton, indigestion, and long train of
ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and bloated,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:

REGULATING
The STOMACH
That Important Organ Works
According to the Quality Of
the Blood That Is Fur
nished to 1t.

There is the most intimate relation
between the condition of the blood and
the activity of the stomach. The blood
depends upon the stomach for large
part of its nourishment; while every
act of digestion, from the time the food
enters the stomach until it is digested
and assimilated by the blood, needs
plenty of pure, well-oxidlzed blood.
The stomach works only according to
the quality of the blood.
The most common cause OF indiges-
tion is anemia, or lack OF blood. In
deed there is not a single disturbance OF
the health of the body nor any form OF
exhaustion or lowered vitality, that
NAV not lead to stomach trouble. Dis
ordered blood is the one common cause
Of indigestion. Thin, impure blood
weakens the muscles of the stomach
and lessons the product of the glands
which furnish the digestive fluids.
Nothing will more promptly cure il
digestion than plenty of pure, well-ox-
idfzed blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills

Nearly half of the nations cheese
as now manufactured in Wisconsin.
Twenty years ago New York held this
distinction. Now she produces less
than one-third. Her decline in this
industry is due to great extent to
the increased demand of the large
cities of that state for milk, for which
the dealers are willing to pay better
prices than can be paid by the cheese
manufacturers.
The development of the cheese in
dustry of Wisconsin during the past
twenty years and the relative decline
of the other states were shown as one

himself as being much impressed with
present conditions and prospects, and

Not only has money been invested
largely in Western Canada by the
Holland Banks, but by those of Ger

tributing money, but they are also
contributing people, hard headed, in
dustrious farmers, who are helping to
produce the two hundred million bush.

million bushels of the other small
grains that the Provinces Of the
West have harvested this season.

from all countries the immigration to
Canada in that year was 354.237.
From the United States and foreign
countries the figures will be increased

of one million pounds of cheese. These
cheese, shown in the accompanying
illustration, were marked to show the
proportion of the nations cheese pro-
duced by the various states, and
showed in a graphic way the rapid
strides made by Wisconsin in this in
dustry during the past twenty years.
The production of farm and factory
cheese in the United States in the two
years referred to is shown in the
chart.
1t will be noticed that very little
cheese is produced outside of the
states of New York and Wisconsin
The high prices which the patrons OF
cheese factories have received for
their milk during the past few years
and the rapid development of new and
excellent dairy sections in northern
Wisconsin are sure to increase the
production of cheese in Wisconsin to
an amount even greater.
