: POULTY POINTERS

Dispose Of all the old stock you DO
not need. This had best be done now,
while prices are good and before the
annual molt starts.
The feeding Of milk to young chicks
has a most favorable influence on the
growth and on lessening the mortality.
1t tends to prevent mortality from all
causes, and IL fed soon enough and for
suficlently long period greatly re-
duces the death rate caused BY bacil-
larry white diarrhea.
An open-front poultry house is bet
ter than too much glass. even in our
cold northern climate.
The hot weather is already giving
the plumage a rusty appearance. and
1t win grow worse from now on until
m0lting time.
Keep the chicks free from lice; keep
them growing. for every little atten-
ton tells and brings nearer the COW
eted blue ribbon.
A splendid mixtre for laying hens
Is equal parts OF cracked corn, wheat
and oats. which should be scattered In
the litter.
Be sure to give plenty Of water and
see that the chickens. both large and
small. have plenty OF green food. II
your yards do not have plenty Of
grass, try dividing the runs and SOW
ing part to rye or rape.

CLEARS AWAY PIMPLES

There is one remedy that sell
dom fails to clear away pimples,
black heads and skin eruptions
and that makes the skin soft,
clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you
with zemo, which generally over
comes all skin diseases. Acne,
eczema, itch, pimples, rashes,
black heads in most cases give
way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight.
Itching usually stops instantly.
Zemo Is safe, clean, easy to use
and dependable. 1t costs only
csc; an extra large bottle, $1.00.
II will not stain, is not greasy or
sticky and is positively safe for
tender, sensitive skins.
