PRESSED HARD.
Coffee's Weight on Old Aoo.

When people realize the Injurious
effects Of coffee and the change in
health that Postum can bring. they are
usually glad to lend their testimony
for the benefit of others.
my mother. since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker.

number Of years and complained Of
that weak all over feeling and Siok
stomach.
Some time ago I was making Q
visit to a distant part Of the country
and took dinner with one OF the
merchants Of the place. ] noticed Q
somewhat unusual favour OF the COT
fee and asked him concerning It He
replied that 1t was Postum.
II was SO pleased with 1t that. aftee
the meal was over. !! bought . package
to carry home with me. and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were so we'll. pleased
with it that we discontinued coffee and
used Postum entirely.
II had really been ut times very
anxious concerning my mothers con
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for q short time. b felt 20
much better than she did prior to ito
use, and had little trouble with her
heart, and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not 30 frequent, q
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was well and
hearty.

The selection of stock is a matter
Of consid cradle Importance, as a great
deal Of ones success or failure with
poultry depends upon the Individual
specimens used to breed from. Care
should be taken to select the early ma
turing, fast-growing pullets. Hens
Will not, as a rule. lay until they are
well matured; consequently 1t can be
readily seen that the s!ow-growing
breeds will not begin to lay as soon
as the former. A good index to
hens ability to pay a profit over the
cost of feed and labor is her ability
to be continually on the move. It Is
advisable to keep but one breed Of
pure-bred fowls. as the product from
a flock OF the same variety Is more
uniform than that from athock OF
mixed breeds or mongrel stock.
1t takes a healthy, well-fed flock to
produce eggs. Fowls must not be all
lowed to become too fat, as but few
eggs WIZ be laid by hens in such con-
dition. To prevent their getting over
fat. 1t Is best to make them work for
most of their feed by scratching in the
litter. of which there should be about
four inches on the floor. This litter
can be OF straw, leaves or chaff, and
should always be kept dry.
Feeding.
A good feed for egg production is
one composed OF corn, wheat. and
oats, equal parts by measure. 1t is
advisable to use homegrown grains
whenever possible. In sections where
corn and oats do not thrive. other
grains can be used to good advantage;
| for example, a mixture of equal parts
by measure of kafir corn, oats, and
barley Will produce good results.
Scatter n small handful of this mix
ture for every three hens in the litter
morning and noon, and give them all
they viii eat of it In a y-shaped
trough at night. In the winter time
some green feed should be fed at
noon: cabbage or mangel-urzels
either chopped or whole. are good.
Every few days look IN the litter care
fully ana see IL the fowls are eating
all the grain being given them; II not,
reduce the quantity. Fowls that have
to work for what feed they get seldom
become overfat. Grit and oyster shell
in a hopper should always be kept be-

foul that n time it becomes difficult
to rear chickens with good success.
In order to avoid this condition, II
is advisable to divide the lot AM
SOW part of it with some OF the
qulck-growing grains, such as oats,
wheat or rye. BY this metnod the
Yards may be rotated every three OF
four weeks during the growing sea-
son, turning the hens onto the grow
ing grain when it Is few lncnes
high. A good combination OF grains
is ats and wheat in equal parts
sowing six or seven bushels to the
acre (4S,56O square feet). and, usn g;
wheat alone for the last seeding "a
the fall.
The prime essentials in poultry
houses are fresh air, dryness, sun
light and space enough to keep the
birds comfortable. Allow about four
square feet of floor space per bird or
the general purpose breeds, anu
three square feet for smaller breeds.
A good egg-laying ration may pc
