SELF-FEEDER IS PROFITABLE
Experiment Made at Nebraska Ex- pertinent Station Shows Method
 to Be Practicable.

That the self-feeder is practicable for lambs is shown by the results of an experiment that has just closed at the Nebraska experiment station. Twenty-eight lambs fed for 40 days by the self-feeder method made an aver age daily gain of half pound a head at cost of $7.34 for each 100 pounds of gain. The net profit per head was Sl.45. Pea-size oil meal and prairie hay were kept before the lambs con stantly from the beginning of the test Corn was added the third day, and gradually increased from that time. At the close of the third week the lambs were consuming about two pounds of corn and one-half pound of oil meal per head daily
 At the end of the experiment they were consuming one-half pound more of corn day and the same amount of oil meal. The average daily consump- tion of prairie hay per lamb was one half pound. Corn was valued at 60 cents a bushel, oil meal at $40 ton and prairie hay at $9 ton.

IF HAIR IS TURNING
 GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Here's Grandmother's Recipe to Darken and Beautify
 Faded Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brew ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul- phur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and Sul- phur enhances it's appearance a hun dredfold
 Don't bother to prepare the mixture; you can get this famous old recipe i'm. proved by the addition of other ingre- dients for 50 cents a large bottle, all ready for use. It is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color and lustre of your hair.
 Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly mo- body can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair has disappeared, and after another appli- cation it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy and lustrous, This ready-to-use preparation is delight ful toilet requisite for those who de- sire dark hair and a youthful appear ance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention e. 6jsease.- Adv.

REAL PROFIT IN LIVE STOCK
Problem of Making Profit Is Largely Matter of Making Use of Si-
 Iage and Roughaee.

When you break even on your beeves you are ahead of the game pro- vided you save the manure-especial- ly if you have kept hogs following the cattle. Saving the manure" doesn't mean saving merely one-third or one- fourth. It means saving all of it, liq- uid as well as solid.
 The problem of keeping live stock with profit is largely matter of mak- ing use as silage, roughage. or bed. ding of stuff that is wasted on the average farm.
 Weeds and weed seeds, usually counted worse than nothing, may be put on the right side of the ledger by means of few sheep. Grass makes cheap pork.

USEFUL MILK COOLER

hot days temperature of 50 degrees can be oftained in this refrigerator. The following description will aid in the construction of this device:
 Make a screened case three and one half feet high with the other dimon- sions F by 15 inches. If solid top is used, simply place the water pan on this. Otherwise fit the pan closely into the opening of the top frame and support it by one-inch cleats fastened to the inside of the frame Place two movable shelves in the frame, F to 15 inches apart. Use a biscuit pan 12 inches square on the top to hold the water, and where the refrigerator is to be used indoors have the whole thing standing in a large pan to catch any drip. The pans and case may be painted white, allowed to dry, and then enameled. A covering of white canton flannel should be made to fit the frame. Have the smooth side out and button the covering on the frame with buggy or automobile curtain hooks and eyes, arranged so that the door may be opened without unfastening these hooks This can easily be done by put ting one row of hooks on the edge of the door near the latch and the other just opposite the opening with the hem on each side extended far enough to cover the crack at the edge of the door, so as to keep out the warm, out side air and retain the cooled air This dress or covering will have to be hooked around the top edge also Two double strips one-half the width of each side should be sewed ol the top of each side and allowed to extend over about two and one-half or three inches in the pan of water The bot tom of the covering should extend to the lower edge of the case.
 Place the refrigerator in a shady place where air will circulate around it freely. If buttons and buttonholes are used on the canton flannel instead of buggy hooks, the cost should not exceed S5 cents.
 Another type of iceless refrigerator, similar in principle to the one de- scribed, is shown in the illustration As will be seen, this consists of three shelves. attached to a substantial piece of lumber running through the center of each shelf. A heavy cross piece at the bottom of the central sup port serves as base. A bag of can ton flannel, and opening on the side, covers the refrigerator and may be drawn tight at the bottom by means of string around the edge. Buggy or automobile curtain hooks and eyes may be used for the opening, although buttons and buttonholes will probably do as well.

made in a single county. The cooler, which was designed by Prof. M. T. Fullan of the Alabama Polytechnic h. stitute, consists of a wooden frame covered with canton flannel or some similar material It is desirable that the frame be screened, although this is not absolutely necessary. Wicks made of the same material as the cov- ering rest in pan of water on top of the refrigerator allowing the water to seep down the sides. When evap- oration takes place the heat is taken from the inside, with a consequent lowering of the temperature. On dry,

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
 KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat less Meat # Your Kidneys Aren't Acting Right or lf Back Hurts or
 Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region 1t generally means you have been eat ing too much meat, says a well-kno.yn authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys In their effort to filter it from the blood and they be- come sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the bodys urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine Is cloudy, full O. sediment, channels oft en get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult a good, reliable physi- elan at once or get from your pharma- cist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, con- bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irri- tates, thus ending bladder weakness
 lad Salts is life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful effer- yescent Whitewater drink,-Adv.

REVIVED INTEREST IN SHEEP
Saving in Feed in Getting Animal Ready for Market Is Big Point
 Plenty of Pasturage.

The renewed interest in the profits of the sheep business has caused a good many farmers to put in sheep instead of cattle. 1t is easier to do business on small capital where you are handling sheep. You can take the money used in buying single steer and buy several sheep, and the say ing in feed in getting the two classes of animals ready for the buyer is worth considering. This is noticed in
