PAA|SING TANLAC
/. L. Hooks, of Roswell, Says He
Was Almost Down and Couldn't
Work at Ali.


The following letter from the
G. T. Lyons Drug Company, of
North Roswell, Ga, is self-ex-
plaratory
North Roswell, Ga,
Jan. 81, 1916.
Mr.. G.. f. Willis, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir-We arc enclosing a
testimonial which we have Just
received from H. L. Hooks of this
place. He seems very grateful
for what Tanlac has done for him,
and every word he says is the
truth.
This man has been in bad
health for years, and was almost
down when we got him to try
Tanlac. Now he talks it to his
friends all the time, and is anx-
ious to tell other people what it
has done for him. Yours very
truly,
Sc. T. LYONS DRUG CO."
Mr., Hooks statement, written
in his own words, follows below
just as it was given. Mr.. Hooks
said:
Il suffered from none of the
worst cases of indigestion and
stomach trouble any man ever
had. | couldn't eat hardly any
thing and nothing tasted right.
AT times gas on my stomach
would almost choke me. Nothing
agreed with me, and what | would
eat didn't give me any strength.
Il commenced taking Tanlac
because l saw what it was doing
for other people and | could see
all the difference in the world
right from the start. 1t simply
did wonders for me, and made me
feel like a new man.
Before taking Tanlac !
couldn't do any work at all. Now
| am using the pick and shovel
every day, and can do any other
kind of labor | want to. When |
weighed the other day | found |
had gained IS pounds. That's
what Tanlac did for me. | want
you to send this to Atlanta and
have it published, for l think ev-
erybody ought to know about this
medicine"
Another interesting letter was
received this week from A. J. Gil
len, proprietor of a large depart
ment store at Maxcys, Ga, and
gives further evidence of the re-
markablc results now being &C
complished by Tanlac throughout
the South.
Mr.. Gillen said 81 have a Gus
toner here who was in bed three
years, and did not go to a meal
at any time. She had five fine
physicians, and they gave her out.
One bottle got her up. After tax
ing the second bottle she kept
house, and on the third bottle she
cooked and did all the house work
for a family of eight. I can get
this testimonial for you if YOU
care to have it,"
Mr.. Gillen has been requested
to furnish full details regarding
this unusual case, and her com
plete statement will be published
at an early date.

FATTEN FOWLS FOR MARKET
Big Gain Made by Two Weeks Prepa-
rstion-Direetions Given by New
York College.

A difference of and frequently .
cents per pound may be made by fat
ting broilers and fowls before putting
them on the market. A gain Of % cents
or more may be made by feeding half
fat fowls or chickens for two weeks.
The directions given by the poultry de-
partment Of the New York agricultural
college are as follows:
ConGnc the birds In n small and
somewhat darkened pen, allowing
about two square feet for n mature
fowl and one square foot for young
chickens. Do not feed for the first "a
hours, then begin feeding rather scan
tily, increasing the amount gradually
until at the end of two or three days
they are getting all they will clean up
I'm about 20 minutes, when fed regu-
larly three times n day. This should
continue for about two weeks which is
ordinarily as long as the fowl can
stand such heavy feeding, and ut which
time, II the fowls were healthy and In
good range condition. they should be
full and plump along the keel and have
heavy, firm drumsticSs mad thighs.
Three good fattening rations follow /:
First, 100 pounds corn meal, 100
pounds buckwheat middllngs, or
ground buckwheat with hulls removed,
100 pounds red dog flour, 30 pounds
beef scrap, one pound charcoal.
Second, 100 pounds cornmeal. so
pounds wheat mlddlings, 80 pounds
ground oats, 30 pounds beef scrap. one
pound charcoal.
Third, 100 pounds oatmeal, 60
pounds wheat middllngs, or red dog

charcoal

FEED CALVES IN STANCHIoNS
After Young Animals Have Devoured
Milk and Grain They Lose Desire
to Suck Ears,

There are several good reasons foI
feeding calves In stanchions. The
calves can be fed their milk, then
their grain, and after they have eaten
the grain they will lose their desire to
suck one another's ears. A stanchion
made OF wood will be entirely satisfac
tory. II should be made from to 3h
feet high and is TO "a inches from
center TO center, with the neck space
to inches wide, Il is built in the
same manner as the old.style rigid
stanchion. The calf should be fastened
while getting. but loosened from the
stanchion after II has eaten its grain
The calf pens and Btanchlons should
be built in the south side OF tho barn,
where plenty OF sunshine and light
can be had.

CHICKS RELISH GREEN FEED
Fresh Vegetables Should Be Supplied

The little chicks must be supplied

have one-third OF the ration green
feed. one-third cracked grains and
one-third mash.
Ground oats, bran and middlings IN

As the ducks are nOnsitters, the
eggs are hatched under hens and In
