HINTS FOR FARMERS.

A good coat Of whitewash in the
poultry house would prevent a grent
many lice from ever seeing the light
Of day.
Don't feed spoiled food to the poul.
try. 1t Is poor economy, as they may
become poisoned or contract disease.
Burn all rotted food Immediately.
If you are thinking Of putting in an
orchard and don't know how to do II
hire a good man to do it for you. A
good orchard is both profitable and
pleasurable, but lot of scrub fruit
trees are worse than useless.
Don't forget that all animals need
salt III large quantities. A cake OF
rock salt should be kept where all the
animals on the farm can easily reach
1t. Or. better still. mix a few spoon.
fuls Of fine table salt in the feed each
day.
The productive life Of the average
hen is only two years. Some hens are
good layers at three and four years,
but these are exceptions to the rule.
As a general thing It will not pay to
keep hen after she is three years old.
The remedy for sour land is lime and
proper drainage. First, drain OF all
moisture and allow the soil to become
dry. Then spread ground limestone
rock and as this works down into the
soil you will find all trace Of sourness
disappears.
During the hot days Of summer your
hens need plenty Of shade and plenty
Of water. See that they are given a
plentiful supply Of fresh water every
day. and provide them some kind of
shelter from the fierce rays Of the sum-
mer sun. If you have no natural shade
q sun shelter can be easily made from
old bagging or burlap.

HANDLING INCUBAT0RS.
Directions AZ to the Selection and
Operation Of Matching Machines.

Directions as to the Selection and
Operation Of Matching Machines.
See that the incubator is running
steadily at the desired temperature he
fore filing with eggs. Do not add
fresh eggs to tray containing eggs
which are undergoing incubation, says
the department Of agriculture.
Turn the eggs twice daily after the
second and until the nineteenth day.
Cool the eggs once daily. according to
the weather. from the seventh to the
nineteenth day.
Turn the eggs before caring for the
lamps.
Attend to the machipc carefully at
regular hours.
Keep the lamp and wick clean.
Test the eggs on the seventh and
fourteenth days.
Do not open the machine after the
eighteenth day until the chickens are
Matched.
In setting up and operating an in
cubator follow the directions Of the
manufacturer. The equipment of most
incubators is so subject to change that
particular lamps, regulators, etc., can
not be recommended. The lamp, how
ever, should have bowl large enough
to hold enough oil to burn thirty-six
hours under average weather condi-
tons, should be easy to remove and
replace, should set absolutely tight In
position, and be at a convenient height.
An incubator holding sixty eggs calls
for as much time and care as one
holding 300, and for ordinary use a
machine of at least $50 egg capacity
seems most satisfactory. A fair esti-
mate for a poultry farm is to have the
incubator hold as many eggs as there
are hens. provided that about one-half
Of the flock is to be renewed yearly
and no outside Matching is carried on.
In setting up the machine get 1t per
fectly level. Do not plane Off the door
if it sticks until the machine has been
heated up and thoroughly dried. Run
the machine at about 1902 degrees F.
for day before putting in the eggs.
Afterward do not touch the regulator
for several hours, as it takes this time
for the machine to come back to its
regular temperature.
The temperature should remain near
~ even. When the bulb Of the Their
mometer rests directly on the eggs the
temperature is usually held at 1917
to 1O2 degrees F. the first week. 102
to 1O3 degrees F. the second week and
1O3 degrees F. the last week, while q
hanging thermometer is operated at
about 1O2 to 1924 degrees F. the first
two weeks and 103 degrees +. the last
week. H'r
The eggs tend to throw of more
heat as they develop. SO that coca.
sionally the regulator needs to be
changed slightly. but it should not be
changed any more than is absolutely
necessary. The temperature Of the
egg chamber may be lowered by low
ering the fame of the lamp in the mid
die Of the day. Regulate the incuba-
tor before opening the door to attend
to the eggs. Most operators attend to
their machines two or three times
daily.

Cut the Grass Quite Long and Never

Grass should be cut "long" 80 that

II the diligent caretaksr of q lawn
must follow up the cutting by some
other operation only wooden rake
should be used. and this should be
employed so as not to disturb such of
the grass clippings as have sifted
down around the roots. These grass
clippings that settle around the roots
afford them a very important protec-
ton and will do much to keep the
lawn in fine condition when there is
lack Of rain later in the season, for
they will hold the moisture and act as
a shield from the sun. In fact, the
grass cuttings are generally needed
about the roots and should not detsact
from the looks of the lawn. for they
soon shrivel. dry up and work their
way down so that they are no longer

DISAPPEAR

Mrs. William Kettler who lives at
the foot of Twenty-seventh avenue.
Government Wharf, Inter Bay, Seat
tie, and whose husband is Waterman
on the waterfront, said:
Il cannot tell you how thankful
am that my attention was called. I
have suffered for the past seven
years with rheumatism and kidney
trouble. On account of my husbands
work we live near the bay and the
dampness made it harder to find any
thing that would help me. have
| tried so many different treatments
without results that I did not have
| much hope that the Plant Juice would
do me any good, but in a short time
,, after began taking 1t, It began to
relieve my rheumatic pains and also
to correct my kidney trouble. 1t has
also put my stomach in fine condi-
ton. now sleep we'll and can digest
my food properly. feel that Plant
Juice has helped me in every way"
Dampness or cold weather merely
develop rheumatism, but do not cause
it. The most common cause is weak
and diseased kidneys that allow the
uric acid to escape into the blood.
Plant Juice clears the blood of all
poisons, including the deadly uric
acid and so cures rheumatism. 1t sti-
mulates the torpid liver to action, cor
reefs constipation and biliousness.
Those who have indigestion, poor cir
culation, impoverished blood. head
ache, dizziness and pains in the back
or joints, should try Plant Juice at
once. The Eaton & Swaney drug
store sells it. (1O

The county agent may be
termed the great equalizer. He
not only is Il purveyor Of native

he is a gatherer of ideas. Pass

on. Seeing in one end of his ter
ritory an innovation which Is
serving good purpose. it will
not be but short time before
) the same methods may be found
to exist at the other end of the
county. The man who neglects
to take advantage Of the advice
and help of the county adviser
or agent is refusing to take ad-
vantage of an aid he is helping

No greater mistake can be
made than to assume that. the
season will determine the yield
Of crops regardless Of the cult
walton given. Such assumption
is false. The season will be a
great factor in determining the
yield. but cultivation will also
be a factor. Cultivation may be
the means of overcoming some
of the faults of poor season
or it may be the means Of help
ing a favorable season.

Cure Of Cancer.

Cure Of Cancer.
Fear the beginning of cancer.
Never be afraid to know the
truth.
Any painless lump or sore ap-
pearing upon your body should
be examined by your physician.
By the time a cancer has be-
come painful the best chance for
its cure has passed.
But even a painful cancer can
be removed permanently II 1t has
not extended too far beyond the
place where it began.
II you notice that wart. mole
or other mark" begins to change
In appearance or to show signs
Of irritation go to physician
and have 1t completely removed.
Do not wait until you are sure it
is cancerous.
Medicine which relieves pain
does not have any effect upon
the disease itself. 1t simply pro-
duces a period Of freedom from
discomfort and therefore delays
the proper treatment.

the great majority Of "delinquent"
boys need in the Strengthening out Of
tummy tangleS and other physical dis
orders that have Il tendency to start
them on the wrong moral slant.
Acting upon the premise that the
bad boy is generally sick boy" Mr..
IIilleS said, I'VE determined some time
ago to maintain a thorough physical
study of the Youngsters sent to us. We
found our boys to be sick. SiXty-tive
per cent of them were ancmic-the re
suit of poor food and irregular habits
of living. To this half starved condi-
ton could be attributed the wayward-
ness and viciousneSS of the boys.
I'VE found that more than 80 per
cent of the boyS-and remember they
are all under fifteen years of age
came to us with bad teeth For years
these boys have been unable to chew
their food properly. They have acquired
the habit of boiling everything they
put into their mouths, The natural
consequence has been multiplication
of stomach and intestinal disorders.
The boys We're dragged down in Il
physical manner and really through no
fault of their own became physical de
generates and mora! delinquentS.
Mr.. IIilleS said the first investigation
dealt with GA boys. of whom tifty-two,
little more than 9 per cent. were free
from some kind of physical abnormal
ity. The examinations proved that
most of the troubles from which the
boys suffered came from the teeth.
immediately upon admission to the
Children's Village" he continued, the
boy is sent to the dentist, who makes Il
searching examination of his teeth. All
possible repairs are made, hopelessly
decayed teeth are extracted, those less
seriously diseased are filled and crown
ed Finally there is thorough clean
ing of the teeth. Then the boy is sent
tc his room with toothbrush and with
paste, He experiences so much relief
and experiences it SO quickly that al
ways the boy is glad to give TO his
teeth the necessary attention
Regularly every six months each
boy in the village visits the dentist.
Never again as long as he is with us is
he permitted to suffer because his
teeth lack attention.
by the time the boy has completed
his two years in the Children'S Village
that is the average length of his stay
he has approached the average for
his years in size and in weight, Every
spring the Village sends squad Of
boys into the west. where amid new
surroundings and forgetting the stigma
OF the past they begin a useful life in
the open country. Remembering that
about 81 per cent Of the boys are sub
normal when they come to US, that
they are moral 5elinquents physical
