,000 DEATHS A YEAR FROM
 POISONING BY ALCOHOL.

Careful examination has I proven that one-twentieth of all the deaths in the United States are due to alcohol. As only about 4, 1000 of those who die are said to be drunkards, it is clearly evident that a very large number die from diseases brought by poisoning some part of the body by alcohol.
 HOW ALCOHOL PoISONS THE STRUCTURE OF THE CELLS. Alcohol causes little droplets of oil to collect within the cell and accordingly the living pro- toplasm is replaced by fat. We have learned that there can be no health unless the cells are in good condition. If anything is the matter with them, the body is sick. Now think of those millions of little cells all over the body and carefully consider what happens by making them mere bags of oil.

publicity is perhaps all right in its
place, but usually it is too slow in eff

who has something to sell should do is
to ascertain the names and addresses of

THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
DUCK AND POULTRY POINTERS
nY ID. o. MOTION

Whole grain is apt TO produce leg
weakness in ducks.
Add handful of clean sand TO every
half bucket of mash.
Young ducks of the Picking variety
should weigh about nine pounds to the
pair at eight weeks old.
Keep trough of cracked oyster shells
before the breeding ducks.
Ducks are excellent hatchers, but poor
mothers, :,
Charcoal in the feed of the young will
prevent sickness.
Don't allow the ducklings that are to
be killed for the table to have unlim-
tied range or they viii develop too much
muscle and prove tough eating.
Six ducks and drake are about the
proper proportion.
The last of August generally ends the
laying season.
The Indian Runner ducks are the best
layers we have, and their eggs are very
rich and their flesh is excellent eating,
Weber Brothers, who have long con-
Quoted a commercial duck farm, have for
many years given hard-boiled eggs and
bread crumbs as the first meal to their
little dueklings. When they had learned
to eat they were fed on bread crumbs
and rolled oats for the next four days;
after that their regular food consisted
of corn meal, middlings, ow-grade -four,
and beef scraps. They were fed five
times day. until four weeks old, and
then four times. Market ducks grow
faster and are tenderer when kept out
of the water, and if properly fed may be
made to average, at ten weeks old, ten
pounds per pair. Never overcrowd &e
young ducks.
Ailing Fowls.
It is still an open question among
utility poultry raisers whether it pays
to fuss over an ailing bird. However, if
one has a small flock of very fine fowls
and occasionally one goes wrong, it often
paws to doctor it. Always burn the
bodies of birds that have died of dis
ease.
A generous pinch of soda in milk or
water will often cure a sour crop; COM
pei the birds to fast for day or so, but |
give all the milk or water, with the |
soda in, it will drink A teaspoonful of
kerosene in the drinking water for few
days will cure sneezing and other symp- |
toms of colds.

A few drops of camphor in the drink
