WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catanh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
If any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat Its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food In Scott's Emulsion which Is a
medicinal food and building-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.

POULTRY REQUIRE
SOME PROTECTION
Shade Is lust as Necessary Dur
ing Summer as Sunny Spots
Are in Winter Season.

Poultry requires protection from the
hot sun just as much as other stock
on the farm. Shade during the hot
days Is just as necessary as sunny
spots are in cold weather. But all
places where the sun does not shine
are not fit for poultry. A damp. con-
fined atmosphere Is worse than the
blazing sun. Roup, rheumatism and
other ills quite frequently result from
ranging In such localities. The close.
sitting air found in tight buildings. un.
der floors, or In stable lofts is scarce.
ly any better. In such localities dis.
ease may be contracted. vermin mul.
tiplied. and the profit side Of the poul.
try ledger remains blank.
Poultry Of all kinds delight in the
shade furnished by an open shed, SC
arranged as to admit the air from all
points Of the compass. The floor
should be of earth and should be
spaded occasionally. The fowls will
enjoy the dust bath and keep cool at
the same time.
A very frequent cause for hens not
laying In hot weather Is lack OF water
At this time they should be provided
at least three times day with fresh
pure cold water.
