BURNING Up
WITH A FEVER?
Scientists Have Traced the
Cause Of FeverS Down
to Germs.

The germ theory OF disease Is no longer
N theory but proven fact. In the treat
tneut of fever, scientists now remove the
causes. which are the disease germs. Then
nothing remains but to quiet nervous eX-
Gttement, restore normal action of the
cspillaries, and put the body into healthy
condition. DR.. Kings Royal Germetuer
c1teets every one Of these requirements as
no other single remedy known to medical
s5tience can, It is the greatest OF all germ
destroyers, and promptly removes the
cause of disease. 1t is a most efficient
xeuedy for allaying nervous excitement,
stimulating the debilitated capllaries,
ssaualizing the circulation and bringing

Mo other medicine is required except that

For this purpose, use Germetuer Pills.

breeding types of corn must be by a
of animals have been produced by
specialists.
AS varying conditions of soil and
climate necessitate breeds of corn for
various localities, we must of necessity
have experienced and skillful breeders
in each county, if we wish to obtain
the full possibilities of the plant.
Those who grow but a small acreage
of corn will find it advisable to pur-
chase their seed from these expert
enced seed-corn breeders of their To-
calities. Extensive corn growers can,
during occasional years, purchase i'm
proved seed for multiplying plats and
in this way avail themselves of the ac-
complishments of skilled breeders
without the necessity of purchasing
each year their entire supply of seed.
In localities in which no one Is as
yet giving the necessary attention to
breeding high-yielding strains it will
be advisable for the farmers to main
tain seed plats which may be isolated
or occupy a portion Of the general
field.
Corn-growing contests which base
the competition upon the profits de-
rived from the crop grown are in
creasing in interest and embrace the
fundamental principles for which corn
is grown. Exhibits of a few select
ears demonstrate the ability of the in
dividual in picking out perhaps from
comparatively worthless corn a few
ears possessing uniformity and fine
appearance. A correct record of the
profits derived from a certain acreage
of corn is the best proof of the excel
lence of the strain of corn and of the
growers ability along all lines of pro-
ducing in a profitable way higher
yields to the acre.
Neglect of good preservation of seed
corn has brought failure to many who
expected good yields from pedigreed
seed. 1t should also be remembered
that the better the growing conditions
the better opportunity heredity has to
display its superiority. Our best i'm.
proved strains Of corn, like our best
breeds of animals, have become adap-
ted to favorable conditions, and these
must be. supplied If we are to profit
by their improvement.
We are using methods that are sc
superior to those of few decades age
that we have almost ceased to search
for better. Present methods, however

modest gifts mount up into a total

TO EXTERMINATE THE MITES
Task May Be Performed by Use OF
Lice-kiIIing Liquid or Kerosene
and by Burning Sulphur.

Mites are the smallest kind of lice
and are so small that they quite often
escape notice. They live on the fowls
at night, but leave in the morning
aud hide in the woodwork of the hen
house, particularly the roosts, nests
and nearby woodwork. The way to
exterminate them is to paint the in
sides Of the nests. the roosts and the
roost supports, etc, with some good
lice-killing liquid every two weeks, or
with kerosene once week. Then
drive the hens out doors on warm
afternoon, close the house up tight
and burn enough sulphur in it to fill
the building absolutely full of dense
blue fumes and keep it closed for an
hour or two. These fumes will get
all through the house, into the cracks.
ETC.. and will kill the mites. THU
should be repeated week later.

to see whole families growing up with

sage ornament. 1t requires from one

heavy satin ribbon, about two inches
wide. The petals are made by cut
ting the ribbon In lengths Of two and
half inches. A tiny covered wire
is tackled in with invisible stitches
along the sides and upper edge of the
petals and these petals curled back
over a hatpin. The lower edge Is
folded to shape the petal and sewed
to place. A heavy wire forms the
stem. Fasten at one end of this a
small wad of cotton the size of a
thimble and cover 1t with bit Of silk,
winding it to the stem with thread.
