If HAIR IS TURNING

Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darken and Beautify
Gray, Faded, LifeIess Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew OF Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture WAS applied
with wonderful effect. BY asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy you will get
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use. for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry. itchy scalp and falling hair.
A wellknown druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens SO naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's SO easy to use. too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, 1t is re-

glossy. soft and abundant. Adv.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing Pub
lie Health Conditions.

An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject made the
astonishing statement that one reason
why so many applicants for insurance
are rejected is because kidney trouble il
so common to the American people, and
the large majority of those whose appli-
cations are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease
According to this it would seem that a
medicine for the kidneys, possessing real
healing and curative properties, would
be blessing to thousands.
DR.. Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton, n. Y,
who prepare DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the well-known kidney, liver and bladder
remedy, claim that judging from evil
dence received from druggists every
where, who are constantly in touch with
their customers, and also indisputable
proof in the form of grateful testimonial
letters from thousands of reliable citi-
zens, this preparation is remarkably sue
cessful in sickness caused by kidney
und bladder troubles Every interesting
statement they receive regarding Swamp
Root is investigated and no testimonial
is published unless the party who sends
it is reported of good character They
have on file many sworn statements of
recoveries in the most distressing cases.
They state that DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is mild and gentle in its action and
its healing influence is soon noticed in
most cases.
Swamp-Root is purely an herbal com
pound and DR.. Kilmer & Co. advise all
readers who feel in need of such rem
edy to give it a trial. 1t is on sale at all
drug stores in bottles of two sizes-50c.
and 100. However, if you wish first to
test this great preparation send ten cents
to DIR. Kilner & Co., BiDghamton, n. Y,
for sample bottle. When writing be

DAMPNESS is THE
CAUSE OF DISEASE
Good Dry, Warm Hog House Pro-
notes General Health and
Development of Herd.
cBy NJ. A. covERDELL)

How many of US give our hogs a
little bedding now and then during
the winter months, rarely ever chang
ing 1t for clean dry nesting?
Some of us think that dampness is
An unknown quantity at this season,
put moisture is sure to collect in the
rhog house as the animals sleep in it,
and dampness is the root of rheuma-
tism
Where the hog house is snug and
warm 1t will, of course, admit no damp
ness from the outside, but with the
hogs confined in it through the long
winter nights, the alternate heating
and cooling of the bed will cause the
formation of dampness.
Proper ventilation will reduce the
amount thus collected, but the bed.
ding should be changed often to in
sure no damaging results.
On the other hand, If the hog house
is open enough, even for the snow
and sleet to sift in through cracks.
the amount thus admitted. while not
noticeable to the eye, will form damp
ness by becoming melted and settling
in the bed.
Hogs also carry considerable damp
ness to their bedding on their feet,
especially during the snowy weather,
30 that the farmer has ample need
of ventilating the snug, warm hog
house, getting busy with some strips
on the one that has cracks in it. and
frequently changing the bedding in
both.
1t will add materially in promoting
general health. comfort and rapid
development of the herd, at the same
time adding to the profits derived
from them.

OAT STRAW HELPS
PIECE OUT RATION
Farmer Should Have Supply for
Carrying Sheep Through
the Winter Months.

1t is an excellent plan for every
sneep farmer to put up every fan
quantity of oat straw, to help out in
carrying the sheep through the win
ter Wheat straw will answer the
purpose, but it is not as good as oat
straw.
OF course straw is not an ideal feed
for sheep. 1t contains little nutri-
ment, but not much, and a great deal
of wood fiber, but clean oat straw fed
sparingly, in connection with roots
or other succulent feed, helps out Won
derfully.
Placed in the rack with clover hay
it will be pretty well eaten up every
day, and it undoubtedly saves some
grain
Where a farmer has plenty of grain
and little roughage, oat straw will
help to piece out the ration admirably.
II fed in large quantities, and alone,
1t will almost certainly produce stom-
ach trouble, and this should always be
avoided.

There have been many discussions
in the agricultural press in regard to
the relation of dogs and the live
stock Many of the articles take an
extreme stand. either for or against
the dogs.
Many of US can remember with
pleasure the first dog our father
brought home to us. 1t was our faith.

in bad humor we took our spite out
on Rover or If we wished to play.
Rover was always willing playmate.
The family dog keeps the children
amused and gives the much-worked
mothers time to rest a bit or catch
up the odds and ends. 1t is no won
der the dogs have many friends. And
they rightfully should have, No ono
loves dog better than myself.
None of us would like to feel that
we were the direct cause of injury to
our neighbor. Yet unconsciously we
allow such to go on. Is your dog
chained at night? Does he run your
neighbor's stock and your own stock?
Surely not, you think. He is here at
night when we retire and is always
waiting for US at daylight. Did you
ever get into an argument with your
friend and didn't you answer, MY
dog is good watch dog. He always
stays at homer" There is only one
sure way to keep him home and that
is to tie him at night. and give your
neighbor privilege to shoot all dogs
unaccompanied by their masters.
A lot of dogs are no ones friend.

dogs. like bad boys, give their asso-
ciates bad reputation. Are you
willing to give your neighbor a square
deal? win he give you as much? The
sheep breeders and the feeders do
not pose as an enemy to the dog.
1t is the worthless ours" that roam
at night and do the damage. Kill off
the ours but let all who wish, keep
a good dog; they are great help to
the stock farmer and the hunter, and
we wish them no harm as long as
they keep.their place.

APPLYING Manure.

The increase in yield of crops from
light applications of manure, say si1
to eight tons per acre. is much greater
per ton of manure applied than where
large quantities are used at single
application, and the farmers who ap
ply lighter applications at shorter In
tervals receive better results from 8

who make heavier applications at long
