Winter is a critical time for sheep. bling and lack of exercise. If well fed with good clover hay and good straw, and with an abundance of pure water to drink, an open shed with an uncovered, dry yard attached, is bet ter than any stable or tightly closed shed. Warmth is more injurious than cold, and sheep may safely be trusted to exercise their instincts in seeking shelter. It is we'll to divide the flock, making three divisions; rams, wethers and ram lambs in one flock, ewes in lamb in another and fattening sheep in another As changes may be seen desirable they should be made, and the food should be given according to the wants of each lot.
 It is a good plan to give all sheep a little grain every day in winter Give fattening sheep one pound of corn per head per day. An expert feeder, who has been feeding sheep for a number of years, says: The man who makes success in feeding sheep or meat cattle is the one who gives close attention to the daily feed ing and care of the flock. It is not necessary for him to do the actual work. but he should be there to see that it is done" Keep only the strong est and healthiest sheep. For winter fattening we want sheep that have got their full growth and are in good, thrifty condition. Merino sheep for this purpose should be three or four years old. Commence with small grain ration and gradually increase the feed Salt should be given; it is good

BOTTLE FOR THE CHICKENS
Keeps Drinking Water for Poultry Warm in Winter and Cool and
 Refreshing in Summer.

A new drinking fountain for fowls is made on the principle of the ther- mos bottle, and by it's use the water supply in the barnyard is kept cool in summer and reasonably warm in winter. This solves one of the great difficulties of the chicken yard. In the winter time it is necessary to visit the chicken yard many times during the day to supply water to the birds, for the reason that the usual receptacles made use of soon freeze up tight and the chickens are deprived of water. One might think that by placing warm wa ter there it would remain in a liquid condition for a greater length of time. but this has proved to be fallacy, for it is said that for some reason the heated water cools off and congeals as quickly, if net more rapidly, than the pan in which was placed cold wa ter. In the summer time, too. there is the trouble of the water becoming so warm that it ceases to be refresh ing. The thermos bottle fountain,

INCREASE THE WHEAT YIELD
Intensive Farming Means the Utllixa- tion of the Plant Crop to the Very
 Highest Advantage.

Intensive cultivation means making the soil produce more than the aver age. It Is easily possible to make an acre of ground produce two. three and even four and five times as large a crop of plants as 1t grew under aver age, common methods. But intensive farming implies more than this. It means not only making the acre pro. duce more. but 1t Is also utilizing the total plant crop to the highest advan. tage. or in other words. selling 1t in some way so as to make 1t bring Q much higher market price. A farmer who could take field that had been producing 20 bushels of wheat to the acre. say. and through better meth- ods increase the yield to 70 bushels to the acre would be considered an expert wheat grower and very good farmer. Wheat at a dollar bushel from the former yield would bring SEC to the acre while at the latter yield it would bring $40. twice as much cash and more than twice as much net profit, as the cost of growing and har- vesting large acreage crop is but little more than for a small yield

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
 HAIR STOPS FALLING
GirIsl Try This! Makes Hair Thick, Glossy, Fluffy, BeautifuI-No
 More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli- cation of Danderine you cannot find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after few weeks use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but really new hair-growing all over the scalp.
 A little Danderine immediately dou- bles the beauty of your hair. No diff ference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time The effect is amaz- ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incompatible luster. softness and luxuriance.
 Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any store, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any-that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment-that's all-you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try lit- tie Danderine. Adv.

Man to Whom World Owes Much.

Charles Martin Hall died at Daytona, Fla, the other day. His name will soon be forgotten by the public. but one of his inventions will continue to serve as an increasingly important factor in the industrial world. Hall discov- cred the electrolytic process for the manufacture of aluminium. In 1855 aluminium sold for $90 a pound, and was used exclusively in jewelry. It was rare and costly because of the diff ficulty of separating it from the clay in which it abounds. When Hall was conducting his experiments in the lab oratory of Oberlin university, alumni mum was selling for SIP pound. To day, as result of his process. IS cents is the quoted price. It now enters into hundreds of household utensils. and one automobile factory uses more in year than the whole world pro duced in like time ten years ago.

WHEN KIDNEYS ACT BAD
 TAKE GLASS OF SALTS
Eat Less Meat If Kidneys Hurt or You Have Backache or Bladder Misery
 Meat Forms Uric Acid.

No man or woman who eats meat ing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou- ble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi- ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take tablespoonful in a glass of water be- fore breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fla nous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and has been used for genera tions to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neu- tralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.

room, dining room and kitchen, so ar- ranged as to open one into another Separate from these are two bed. rooms, very small hall, and a bath room.
 The most important feature of the floor plan is the large living room, IA by 20 feet, together with it's large bay window and magnificent fireplace. A built-in seat is planned for the win. dow directly in front of the fire.
 The dining room is IA by 12 feet in size with double window and two single windows for light. Between the two single windows is built-in combination sideboard and buffet. The woodwork of both these rooms is de- signed to match.
 There is heavy baseboard, crown molding which joints the walls and ceilings of each room, and plate rail in the dining room, all built to match in one general design. The plate rail is a continuation of the cornice at the top of the sideboard. The dining room walls are laiG off in panels sep arated by stiles made to match the holdings.
 The woodwork in the two rooms helps very much both in decorating and in the furnishing, by adopting the built-in furniture idea that has been so elaborately worked out by archi- tects. In this way furniture fits a house because it grows in place as it is being built. Designs usually are cut out by machinery in factories and shipped in the knockdown, so that car penters put the different parts togeth- CT across the ends or in the corners of rooms where they are meant to go.
 The kitchen is a model of neatness and perfection in arrangement when taken together with the pantry, the ice box and the rear porch.
 A wall space at the side of the eel lar stairway gives the proper backing for the sink and kitchen cupboard, with it's workable top, which is next to the large window where there is plenty of light A great deal depends Ou IIc ldN HIS Oul ol tO LheNS kitchen work easy and attractive, Dark kitchens are not tolerated in these days of white enamel and plenty of daylight.

USES FOR THE WHlSK BROOM
Can Serve Many Other Purposes Than One for Which They Usu-
 ally Are Employed.

Whisk brooms are useful not only for brushing clothes, but for other pur- poses as well
 Keep little broom in the kitchen to clean the kettles, spiders, sauce pans, etc. It saves time, does better work and saves the hands. You can scrub around the ears of the kettle with it and get into all the crevices of your pots and pans with it. The same little broom does duty as a vegetable cleaner.
 After the clothes are brought in from the line a clean little broom, kept solely for the purpose, should be used to sprinkle them. It accom- plishes this quite as effectively as the Chinese laundryman who sprays the water through his teeth.
 Washtubs, wringers and wash boards can be kept in order with al most no labor at all by having a little broom handy to scrub them off with.
 Pantry shelves, kitchen sink and table can be cleaned with a whisk broom.
 Even the kitchen windows, in fly time, should be washed down first with the inevitable little broom. which cleans the corners of the sashes in less than half the time necessary to accomplish the work in any other way.
 Backing the stove is no longer a task to be dreaded. A little broom puts on the black and does all the polishing.

The little bungalow in the picture

The little bungalow in the picture has rustic porch built with cobble stones and cement mortar The floor of the porch and the steps leading up to it are smooth concrete with water proof finish, the same as the walk leading in from the street. But rus tic effect is given by the front porch wall and the two solid square but tresses at the corners.
 The porch is roofed by two over- hanging projections that are support ed by brackets. The size of the porch is 10 by 16 feet inches, which is quite liberal, even for a bungalow porch. It makes room for considera- 1le comfort, which is utilized by pro- viding seats, easy chairs, etc, for use in summer time.
 There is a good cellar the full size of the bungalow, which is divided into compartments by cross walls. The laundry is under the dining room be- cause of the rear outside entrance to the cellar at the side of the back porch, also the ground slopes away at this corner, so that deeper windows are used.
 The main part of the cellar is well underground, because the bungalow was designed for a northern city. Lo- cal conditions would naturally make a difference in building the cellar. but to retain the real bungalow effect the ground should be graded up in front to almost meet the clapboards, as shown in the drawing.

 A bungalow requires a wide front door; nothing less than three feet will answer, and wider Is better. Bunga- lows are built on the wide plan, so that it becomes necessary to maintain width in all details all the way through from the width of the lot and roof to the width of doors and win. dows.

 The woodwork construction com mences two or three feet below the main floor so that the siding is con- tinued down to level with the top of the cellar wall. This is done in some instances to save expense of wall, but the main object is to hold the build ing down close to the ground to re- tain the beautiful, artistic effect of the

If 1t Fails to Relieve Kidney Disease

If neglected, kidney disease secures
a firm hold and results in an ailment
that frequently becomes chronic and is
most difficult to treat successfully.
The symptoms of kidney diseases are
usually not soon enough recognized,
and treatment is too long delayed.
That Is why these human arrangements
are so prevalent.
Most diseases of the kidneys, bladder
and urinary tract readily yield to treat
ment if the right medication is prompt
ly and properly applied.
We have treatment we believe will
eradicate this class of disease. We are
so certain of this that we sell the medi-
cine with our own personal guarantee
to cheerfully return every cent paid US
for it, without question or bubble, -
at the merest hint that it did not do
exactly as We claimed, or if the user is
not entirely satisfied.
Our treatment consists of Rexall Kid
ney Remedy, and we urge all sufferers
of kidney arrangements to try it at our
entire risk. know whatit contains,
how it is made, and will cheerfully tell
all about it upon request.
We can make this frank offer be-
cause our experience has conclusively
demonstrated that Rexall Kidney Rem
edy is safe, reliable and extremely
efficacious medicine that rarely fails to
do all we claim it will. Otherwise we
could not afford to sell it to our neigh
bors and friends with our endorsement
and money back guarantee. Why hest
