CAPITAL FEED For POULTRY
Grain Of cowpeas and kafit Are
Ealsly Dluested by Fowls--soy
Beans Also Are Excellent.

Cowpeas and kafr are both excel.
lent feed for poultry. Experiments
made in feeding both to poultry have
shown that. fed In the grain. each kind
is more easily dIgested than II made
into meal and fed. This fact will
prove a great saving to those who
have both OF these grains as feed for
poultry.
Soy beans are a better feed than
sowpeas because of their greater
grain yield, and yet cowpeas contain
more than twice the heterogeneous mat
ter contained in either corn or kafir.

Vick's Vap.0-Rub is the invention Of

how to combine Menthol and Camphor
with the volatile oils of Eucalyptus.
Thyme, Cubebs and Juniper in a salve
form, SO that, when Vap-0-Rub is ap-
piled externally, the body heat re-
leases the ingredients In the form OF
vapors. These vapors are inhaled
with every breath, through the air
passages, to the lungs, loosening the
phlegm, and, in addition, vick's is alb.
sorbed through the skin, taking out
the tightness and soreness. This
double action makes Vap-0-Rub useful
for a wide range of troubles. From
intiammations Of the air passages,
such as head colds. catarrh, asthma,
sore throat. bronchitis or deep chest
colds, down to inflammations Of the
