In dry packing the birds are shipped In
boxes. and this method can only be
used when the weather IL cold and the

Nickels VIII Sustained.

The decision OF the Maine law court,
which sustains the action OF the judge OF
probate Of Waldo county in admitting to
probate q copy OF the will Of Henrietta
Thompson Nickels, of Searsport, is Of in
terest to many in Hancock county.
The will presented for probate was q
copy OF one drawn in 1911 by H. W..
Swazey, OF Portland, as the original could
not be found. In 1918, Mrs. Nickels, then
in poor health, wrote to Mr.. Swazey
telling him that she wished to make sore
changes in her will. He advised her to go
to Belfast and have an attorney in that
city do the work for her. The Belfast at
torney advised her to draw new will, and
he made notes OF the changes she desired,
and after her return to Searsport, had the
will drawn and sent to her. She was
taken i'll soon after, and after her death
the will was found but it had been wit
messed by only two people.
meeting OF the heirs was held, and all
signed an agreement to allow the copy Of
first will to be probated. This was done,
but later, Fred 5. Thompson, OF Chicago, a
nephew OF Mrs. Nickels, and one OF the
heirs " no had signed the agreement, saw
fit to enter suit for an appeal from the de-
cision OF the judge OF probate allowing the
will.
Since that time there have been several
hearings, with the result that the law
court sustains the decision OF the judge of
probate admitting the original will.

CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much blood disease
as scrofula or rheumatism. 1t may
be relieved, but it cannot be removed
by simply local treatment. 1t causes
headache and dizziness, impairs the
taste, smell and hearing, affects the
voice, deranges the digestion, and
breaks down the general health. It
weakens the delicate lung tissues and
leads to consumption.
Hoods Sarsaparilla goes to the
seat Of the trouble, purifies the blood,
and is so successful that it is known
a. the best remedy for catarrh.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens
and tones the whole system. Il builds
up. Ask your druggist for Hood q,
and insist on having it. There II no
real substitute.

SOUR MILK FOR EGGS.
Poultry Need Some Kind Of Animal
Food In the Ration.

Food In the Ration.
Milk or meat in the ration may make
all the difference between profit and
loss, says II. l. Kempster. professor OF
poultry husbandry Of the Missouri Col.
lege OF Agriculture. We know from
our tests at the experiment station and
from the experience OF poultrymen ev'
erywhere. We got only 945 eggs from
pen Of hens that ate no animal food.
while another pen Of hens. no better In
any way. but fed sour milk. laid 1,IS3.
Those fed beef scrap laid 1,SO2 eggs.
While this Is a higher record than
either Of the others. the sour milk Il SO
much cheaper and easier to get on
most farms that we recommend ID
most highly. At 20 cents dozen the
eggs from the hens fed sour milk
brought $29.71 and those from the hens
led scrap beef $30.O3. The difference
wouldn't begin to pay for the extra
cost and trouble Of beef scrap.
The big thing to remember 10 that
me hens fed no animal food brought
little more than half as much egg
money. Theory. and experience both
say. Feed the laying hen sour milk -
part Of her ration"
A good sour milk ration: Corn. four
parts; wheat. two parts; bran mid
aiings. one part; cornmeai. one part;
sour milk separately. Give 100 hens
TWO and one-half gallons Of milk and
nom nineteen to twenty-five pounds Of
other food q day.
