Says Drink Water
If You Wish to Grow
Fat and Plump
THIN MEN AND WOMEN
Do You Want to Get Fat and strong7

DO You Want to Get Fat and Strong ?
The trouble with most thin folks
who wish TO gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stuffing it with greasy foods, rubbing
on useless "flesh creams" or follow
ing some foolish physical culture
stunt, while the real cause of thinness
goes untouched. You cannot get fat
until your digestive tract properly as
Stimulates the food you eat. Drink a
glass of cold water four or five times
a day and take the following prepare
ton known TO reliable druggists al
most everywhere, which seemingly
embodies the missing elements need
ed by the digestive organs to help
them convert food into rich, fat-lad-
en- blood. This.p preparation is called
tonoline, and much remarkable testi-
mony is given as to it's successful use
in flesh building. Tonoline which
comes in the form of small nom
injurious tablet, taken at meals and
mixed with the digesting food, tends
to prepare fat, flesh and muscle
building elements so that the blood
can readily accept and carry them to
the starved portion of the body You
can readily picture the transforma-
ton that additional and previously
lacking flesh making material should
bring your cheeks, filling out hollows
about you neck, shoulders and bust
disappearing, and your taking on
from Is to 80 pounds of solid healthy
flesh. Tonoline is harmless, inexpen-
sive, efficient. All druggists have it
and are authorized to refund your
money if weight increase is not OBJ
tanned as per the guarantee found in
each large package.
Caution :-Tonoline is recommended
only as a flesh builder and while ex-
cellent results in cases of nervous in
etc, have been reported,
care should be taken about using it
unless gain in weight is desired

probably the greatest obstacle 70 b
overcome in shipping country pro
ducts to the city and to customers
whose financial standing is not
known. We have lost less than five
per cent in breakage by using the
parcel post and think some day il
will solve to large extent some of
the market problems now confronting
farmers everywhere.
Last year our profits from our flock
paid for an additional four acres to
our farm, and also made possible
some long-wished for things in the
home. Aside from this we used
plenty of eggs for home consump-
ton.
This year we are going to enlarge
our poultry plant and install some
new brooding pens and perhaps we
will need one or two more incubators
If we decide to work our plans.

Road Maintenance

The concrete road likewise should
be patched and any cracks appearing
such as temperature cracks, should
be tarred or some other bituminous
material used, to protect it from chip
ping away under traffic. 1t should be
watched just as carefully as though
1T were any other kind or road be-
cause any defects will cause loss.
How shall we obtain all this? The
patrol system is the system for main
tenance of roads. Speaking for the
state department as district engineer,
will say that we do not expect to
start with a complete patrol system
like the railroads have organized af-
ter fifty years of experience but we
do expect to start and organize the
work in such way that in a few
years we will have someone looking
after every road regularly.
Last week l was out with county
engineer in a certain county and we
came across road which hadn't been
floated this spring. Think of that!
1t was lean gravel and taking quite a
heavy traffic. asked, What is the
matter here?" He said, 81 had a
man drag this road and he failed; in
fact two men promised to look after it
Out iiObhiiS scCtlliS " nave Detn
| said to him, "That don't relieve you
of the responsibility one bit. Some
body should have been here to see
that these men dragged and if this
man or these men did not do it, then
someone else should have been APP
pointed who would do it."
The excuse is given, we don't know
where to get them. That is not the
point. The idea is to keep trying
and working hard enough and finally
get on a god organization basis
where every road will get proper
care.
No matter what kind of road you
build, if the road goes unattended,
bitches will fill up, the road will not
keep in proper repair. 1t is only by
q good and constant maintenance sys-
TEN that we can hold our roads where
we should get the right kind of re-
suits.
The men who have tried this patrol
system have a card on which the pa
trolmen report. They give these
cards to their men who are to look
after a certain piece of road and they
report daily as to the certain part of
the road on which they are working
and state what they have done. One |
hourse and wagon and wheelbarrow
and few tools are furnished by some. |
Others use wheelbarrow and shovel |
and pick and go back and forth on the
road by some other conveyance, such |

CONSULTING DEPARTMENT
Mating the Breeding Pens

Mating the Breeding Pens
If one would build up flock of Wig
orous laying hens, he should give
careful attention to the parent stock
Too often the farm flock is increased
by haphazard methods. Such a flock
is sure to decrease in vigor and pro-
ductiveness from year to year. One
cannot select eggs for Matching by the
appearance of the eggs, but he can
select the eggs laid by known produc-
ers and feel assured that his chicks
will be strong and liable to make good
layers.
Breeding pens should be made up
from old hens, that is, of birds that
will be two years old the coming
spring. Pullets do not make vigorous
breeders as they have not yet reached
full maturity, and it is not possible to
know just which Of the birds are the
best layers. Hens that lay during the
fall are almost sure to make desir-
able breeders. Select those that fin
ish the moult early and have a new
coat of feathers grown before the
coolest weather comes on. These
points being fresh in mind, it is pos
sible to make an intelligent selection
in the fall, better than late in the
winter. Some breeders advocate Sc
lecting those that moult late. 1t may
be true that such a bird will lay a
larger amount of eggs during the
twelve months, but she is almost sure
not to produce many eggs when they
are highest. Our ideal type of bird
is the one that begins the moult early
and lays occasionally all through
September and October, and by the
end of that month has new coat
fully grown and is all ready for Nov
ember and December eggs.
In selecting breeders choose those
that are of standard weight. In the
utility flock the coloring of all feath-
ers need not be exact, although it
adds considerably to the satisfaction
of the owner if his birds are fairly
uniform. In shape the breeders
should be .compactly built rather than
long and lanky.
1t should be remembered that the
male bird is half the pen and the only
safe way for the average farm flock
is to bring in a new cockerel every
year that is not even remotely re- I
lated to the hens. Cockerels Matched |
