VITALITY is NEEDED
IN A POULTRY FLOCK
One Thing to Look For in Select
ing individuals for Breeding
Some of Markings.
By II. A. BITTENBENDER, Iowa Ex-
pertinent Station)

By H A. BITTENBENDER, Iowa Ex-
pertinent Station)
Vitality-that' the thing to seek in
selecting individuals for the poultry
breeding flock, because lack Of it in
the parent stock is one of the great
causes of loss in poultry raising.
Marks of strong vitality: A head
that is short, broad. deep, compact
An eye that is bright, full, clear,
round, prominent. A beak that is
short, broad, we'll curved Comb and
wattles that are well developed and
fiery red. A body that is well jointed,
compact, stout: back, long and broad;
breast. deep, broad, thickly fleshed,
with a keel running well back; ca
pacity, large, especially in hen which
needs room to develop a digestive and
reproductive system capable of manu-
featuring many eggs. A strong bird
generally stands with shanks squarely
under its body and wide apart at the
knee joints. It's toe nails are usually
worn broad and fiat across the point,
evidencing great activity.
The marks of low vitality are the
opposite of those of strength. The
head is long, fiat, sunken, narrow; the
eye is small and dull; the comb and
wattles poorly developed or pale. The
body is often loosely jointed, with
knee joints close together; the breast
is narrow, shallow and poorly fleshed.
Long, pointed toe nails indicate less
activity.

PHYSIC IS HIGHLY
IMPORTANT cow AID
Expert of Wisconsin Station
Gives Directions for Drench-
ing-Use Strong Bottle.

A physic is very important aid in
the treatment of most diseases. DR..
A. S. Alexander of Wisconsin gives the
following directions for administering
physic:
Dissolve one pound of EPSON salts,
for 1000 pound COW, in three pints of
warm water. Add half an ounce Of
ground ginger root and a cupful of
black-strap cane molasses. Shake well
and give as one dose slowly and care
fully from strong long-necked bottle
or from drenching horn.
Do not raise cows head above the
level of her back when administering
medicine. Hold her head in a straight
line with her body. DO not grasp her
by the nostrils, or pull out her tongue
Standing at her right side, pass the
left hand over her face and into the
left side Of the mouth. Insert the neck
of the bottle into the right side Of the
mouth, and pour in the medicine, two
or three ounces at time, and allow
the cow time to swallow.
Let her head down at once, IL she
coughs, and wait for few minutes be-
fore giving the rest Of the drench.

GREAT IMPORTANCE
OF A GOOD GARDEN
Select Only Best Seed of Most
Suitable Varieties of Vege-
tabIeS-AddS to Profits.

When we consider the fact that the
farmers truck patch and garden sup
plies are nearly one-half his familys
support, and when he once realizes the
great importance of good garden, he
will then fully realize the Importance
of procuring only the best seed of the
most suitable varieties of vegetables.
Without good, clean and vigorous seed
the fundamental elements of good
crop are surely lacking. There is no
doubt but that small, inferior seed will
produce weak, spindling stalks, while
large. full, well matured seed invari-
ably grows into big full crops, provid-
ing they are grown under favorable
conditions. This has been as conclu-
sively proven in regard to seeds as it
has in animal breeding, and no we'll
informed farmer overlooks it.
There is no doubt but that the av-
erage farmer could easily add large
amount to his profits each year by
paying as careful attention to his seed
selection as he does to the harvesting
or cultiyating OF MS crops, OF 10 tne
animal breeding, and there is no rea-
son now why the farmer of today
should not do this. He can test his
seed corn, and by the same method.
From each lot of seeds a sample can
be taken, placed between cloths that
are spread in a plate and which are
kept moist and warm. Or the seed
may be sown in soil in a box or flower
pot and the terminating ability OF the
sample will speak for the entire lot of
seed.
1t is such a simple matter to make
sure that all of the seed planted is not
only germnable. but vigorous, and 1t
is so serious to plant seed that will not
develop and grow properly that there
seems to be no good excuse for anyone
planting undesirable seed.

REAL DOGS OF WAR

The French were delighted with the
dogs. and | was entertained by all the
big people in Paris, while the Comte
Leon Tinseau, one of the greatest lit
terateurs in France and a member of
the Legion of Honor wrote a long ar
ticle about them for the paper, the
Flambeau.
Kenneth Mart. Mr.. Allans compan.
ion stayed in France to join an Ameri,
can ambulance.
Asked how many races he won with
his wonderful dogs, MIR. Allan said that
he won three tirsts, three seconds and
two thirds of the big races, but that
in the others his teams were always
lin the money"
Asked how much money was bet
and won and lost in these races, he
declined to go into any estimates. but
stated that in 1909. when the race was
over he had won $4,000 and two sill
yer cups. His friends upon that occa
sion gave him gold watch, suitably
inscribed. which he still wears.
The approximate value of the pack
of dogs that went to France may be
estimated from the fact that $l0C
apiece was offered for those that came
from Alaska.

No Siunificance In Dreams.

One reads some so very silly arti-

that our dreams are nothing more
than a continuation of the state pre-
vious to sleep when we lie with no
bodily or mental occupation beyond
following out whatever train of
thought happens to have been suggest

Two common dream experiences
frequently recurring are those of the
sensation of flying and o. the uneasy
impression of being about in public in
insufficient attire. The first is caused
by the physical fact that we are, at
