CRYING FOR HELP.
Lots Of 1t in Princeton But Daily Grow

ing Less.
The kidneys often cry for help.
Not another organ in the whole
body more delicately constructed I;
not one more Important to health.
The kidneys are the filters of the
blood. When they fail the blood be-
comes foul and poisonous. There
can be no health where there is
poisoned blood. Backache is one of
the frequent indications of kidney
trouble. 1t is often the kidneys cry
for help. Heed it. Read what

overworked kidneys. Proof of merit

COMBAT POULTRY YARD FOES
Some Essential Measures Outlined by
Expert PouItrymen for Control Of
Insect Parasites.

Insect parasites are the cause of a
great deal of annoyance and loss to
poultrymen. Some essential measures
as outlined by George NJ. Turpin for
their control are:
Have the poultry houses separated
from all other farm buildings.
Have all the interior fixtures of the
poultry houses, such as roost-poles,
nest boxes, feed hoppers. dropping
boards, etc, removed SO that every
part OF the interior can be readily
cleaned and sprayed.
Keep good dust bath to which the
fowls may have access at all times
OF the day. Common road dust with
fine ashes and powdered sulphur or
air-slacked lime added is excellent.
The road dust should be gathered
during dry weather for use during
the winter.
Spray the coops and fixtures with
good whitewash twice each year.
adding two pounds OF salt and one
fourth gallon Of crude carbolic acid
to every SO gallons Of the spraying
mixture.
\ Setting hens should have access to
a good dust bath such as mentioned
above. IL lice are found later on the
chicks. rub lard In the feathers of
the head and throat, and in bad cases
also under the wings.

CELERY AS DUCK FOOD

(By w. L. M'ATEE.)

The names wild celery and canvas
back duck have been closely associat-
ed In the annals of American sport
To a certain extent this association
is justified, since the canvas back OBJ
tains about one-fourth of its food from
this plant-a greater proportion than
any other duck. However, the asser.
ton that the flavor of the canvasback
is superior to that of any other duck
and that 1t depends on a diet of wild
celery is not proved, to say the least.
The scaups or bluebills and the red
head also are very fond OF wild cell

back. Several other ducks get more

that even the scoters on a northern

vouna Birds Must ee Wstched Care

Very Wild Mature.

Guinea hens are among the hardest
of all birds to breed, chiefly because
the young guinea is 80 extremely ten
der. They are also Of very wild
nature, and when one Of them is lost
from the hen 1t may be counted as
lost. It is advisable to keep the young

After they leave the hen, II the days

to hunt bugs and worms and require

cred out they need little care, as they
are able to shift for themselves until
the winter cuts OF their supply OF

GOOD CARE OF DUCKS

Without Wasting It.
Plenty Of Grit Must Be Available at
All Times, but u Must Not Be
Mixed With Food - Green
Stuff Is Also Essential.
(By A. GALLIGHER.)

A ration that is all right for ducks
may be all wrong for chickens, and
vice versa. For instance: Whole grain
is not as good for ducks as a mixture
Of ground grains and cooked vegeta-
bles.
Whole corn may be fed occasionally,
but 1t should be soaked for several
hours before feeding.
Dry oats and wheat make very poor
duck feed, but both are good when
cooked and mixed with corn meal or
boiled potatoes and bran.
II hardly pays to feed wheat to
ducks unless It is unstable. Since
thorough cooking renders musty
grain harmless It may be fed to ducks
with good results. When cooked po-
tatoes are used they should not be
mixed with the ground grain until
after the latter has been thoroughly
moistened with either milk or water.

The hen has three reasons for eat

tHEN MANURE AS FERTILIZER
Has Greater Value Than Any Other
Kind Used on Farm-should
! Be Well Taken Care OF.

Hen manure az . fertilizer has
lgreater value than any other fertiliz-
|er on the farm. It is generally sup
posed by some poultrymen that the
manure will pay for taking care OF
the hens, but this depends much on
how It is kept. The dropping boards
under the roosts should be kept Gov
cred with some absorbent to preserve
1.-THE strength of the droppings.
. Land plaster or South Carolina rock
lie good. Never use wood ashes OF
tlime with the poultry droppings. The
ammonia or nitrogen would be set
free, and part of the value Of the fer
Itiliser lost. The droppings should not
be applied on . growing crop or Gov
cred soil. Use It on corn by putting
q handful on each hill at the time OF
hast hoeing. II should be kept under
cover until used.
