maturing their bodies. One goes with
the other to certain extent, yet Il
pullet may grow large body and not
mature in condition to lay. The care
at this time may also affect the gen
eral production of the bird. If stunted
or poorly dereloped she may never
make good layer, while her chances
ut the outset may have been good for
making heavy producer.
The diet of the growing pullet should
not be confined to grain and mill prod
ucts. Phosphoric acid and lime are
elements which are necessary for her
full development. These are con-
tanned in meat scrap, fish scrap and
ground bone in considerable quantities.
There are other earth or cell salts
which are necessary in order that she
may fully digest her food and use 1t
TO the best advantage. These are
found In green feed to a larger extent
than in grain and many of them in
milk and blood meal. A little blood
meal In addition to the animal food Is
a great help to maturing pullet
Common salt Is also necessary. We
find more of this In the body of the
pullet than any other mineral except
phosphate of lime, so the ration should
be slightly salted. Three pounds to the
hundred pounds of dry mash are about
the correct quantity.
The quarters of the growing pullets
should be clean and airy. 1t will not
hurt them to sleep out of doors during
the summer, but when the cold fall
rains come 1t is better to have them
protected by roof at least. The pens
should be kept clean and free from lice.
The pullets need perfect rest at night,
and If they are disturbed by lice or
mites it will put them back materially.
also have this effect. Keep the house
clean If you expect winter eggs.
One reason so many fail to secure
winter eggs is that they do not start
in time. They hatch early enough
and give the chicks good care until
they are out Of the brooders; then, after
disposing of the cockerels, they let the
pullets come up any OLD way until tney
are ready to place in the laying house;
then they go at them hammer and
tongs" and expect to get eggs right
away. but usually they don't. The
pullets take their time to mature,
which they should have done during
the late summer and early fall, and
often do not come to laying until
December or January, when they
should have begun in October.
When pullets are placed In the lay
ing house and the cold fall rains come
or the ground Is frozen, l believe 1t
is for their good If they are confined so
they cannot run out in the wet and
cold Cold winds are as bad as rain
and damp ground. In some places the
wind is severe at times, and this must
Lessen the egg yield materially.

Relieves The Worst
Cases of Catarrh
Think "Hyomei the Most Wonderful
Treatment for Catarrh Ever
Discovered.

Discovered.
Do not try to cure catarrh by using
sprays or lotions; it cannot be cured
in that manner. The only way in
which this too common disease can be
fully relieved is through direct ap-
plication to the affected parts that
will kill the bacilli of catarrh and pre-
vent their growth.
Breathing the air Of Hyomei is the
only known method of treatment that
can really accomplish this. 1t is the
simplest, most pleasant and probably
the most reliable treatment for
catarrh that has ever been discovered.
The complete HyOmei outfit is in
expensive, and consists Of an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
several weeks. This will effect in
slant relief in ordinary cases, but for
chronic and deep-seated cases OF ca
tarrh, longer use may be necessary.
and then an extra bottle of Hyomei
can be obtained for trifiiDg sum. 1t
is not alone the best ut might be
called the only method of treating
catarrh, but it Is also the most eco
nomical.
G. A. Parcher has SO much conf
dence In the power of Hyomei to re-
lieve catarrh, that he will for a
limited time, sell this medicine under
his personal guarantee to refund the
money IL the purchaser can say that
1T did not benefit.

A Trip to Old Virginia.

Having spent each summer at our sea-

old Virginia, my native home, where l
had not been for nine years.
l left Washington on Oct. on the

quires that they have only limited

THE BEARS IN THE WHEAT
n + is assuredly sad to con-
template the long list of
difficulties in front of the
American wheat market as
viewed by the bearish side of
the game.
Present prices in the north
west are far below the Liver
pool quotations, even when all
possible shipping costs are con-
sidered. Northwest prices are
below the Winnipeg prices at
a time when daily stories are
published to the effect Eng
land will buy Canadian wheat
because American wheat is too
high.
In fact the present north
west market is about what
could be expected in normal
times. 1t is not in keeping
with present war conditions at
all. Yet every day a fresh
reason is given why wheat is
scarcely worth the powder it
would take to blow it up and
the future is pictured in gloomy
colors for the farmers.
Is this genuine stuff they
are telling our growers or are
some people arranging the
stage with a view to doing
some heavy buying in the near
future?
1t will be interesting to see
the outcome.

KIND OF LIGHTS TO

VERY POOR BUSINESS

no man has ever been
~ known to get rich
through saving money
by riding the brake rods in
stead Of paying his fare on a
train. 1t is one ofthe poorest
lines of business on earth.
The boy who travels that
way risks losing too much to
save too little, as Roy Tillman
now realizes. The better the
boy the greater the risk be-
cause he will have more to
lose and will know less about
the game.
Any man that has to travel
can afford to pay his fare. 1t
means but a few days extra
work at the most and then he
can travel in safety and de-
ceney. He runs no chance of
being manned or killed and
buried as an unknown hobo.
II il is adventure that is
wanted there are better ways
of getting it. Join the navy,
or become a lion hunter or an
aviator, or an auto racer and
get killed in style.
