SKIN CLEARED.
BY Simple Change In Food.

1t has been said by a physician that
most diseases are the result of indi.
gestion.
There's undoubtedly much truth In
the statement, even to the cause OF
many unsightly eruptions, which many
suppose can be removed by applying
some remedy on the outside.
By changing her food a Kan. girl
was relieved Of an eczema which was
a great annoyance to her. She writes:
For five months l was suffering
with an eruption on my face and
hands which our doctor called eczema
and which caused me a great deal of
inconvenience. The suffering was al

No matter how good the stock ma,
be IL they have not the proper car,
they will pay you no better than mon
grels. Poultry on the farm, as rule
receives Indifferent treatment.
What does care" mean? 1t means
a close watch on the business al

and keeps the fowls busy, sorts out

ter attention. In short, care" means
using business principles in every
sense of the word.
The farmer is not giving tie proper
care when he allows his fowls to roost
on trees, in wagons, wagon sheds. or
on the board fences. The proper care
is not given if the appetites and con-
ditions of the fowls are not studied
System and regularity play an i'm
portant part in care. Economy in

Of muscles, the saving of time-all are
important.
Shiftlessness causes expensive ex-
periences. There is sure to be profit
In anything We take care of. Success
is accorded TO management. Profits
depend upon the quality and quantity
or brain work put into the enterprise
If a man performs his work in a
mechanical way he will not be apt
to do it well. There are too many
who go by luck" They do not stop
to think. They do not take notice of
the little matters. They are always
hurrying to get done.
1t is said quality makes prices, but
1t costs considerable labor and brains
to make quality. Good management
curtails expense. Successful poultry
men use good common sense methods,
some others but little method, and
alas, some not any method at all.
Hard luck is generally brought
about by mismanagement. Disorder
creates disgust Study and care, and
not luck and big talk, are the elements
of success.
To quote Judge Brown: There are
too many poultrymen who let their
enthusiasm go down as the mercury in
the thermometer goes up or down
The men who make the marked sue
cess in poultry raising are those
who never flag In their attention
those who know that the increased
labor and close attention hot weather
brings must be religiously observed,
the same being the case when the
cold weather is, with us. 1t is the
man or woman behind the hen rather
than the breed that brings success.

is the one that is best cared for. Zeal |

breeder.
In conclusion, it must not be for
gotten that success depends on man
agement. Business attention given to ,
flock OF properly housed hens would
be a revelation to many, especially to
the farmers themselves.
