Perhaps you have been raising poul
try for many years but with indiffer
ent success-just fooling along with a
few hens, of many different breeds
feeding any old thing, in old, tumble
down houses, alive with mites and
lice, and unclean.
Maybe you have wondered why you
have not had the success that some OF
your neighbors had and perhaps are
discouraged and ready to say there is
nothing in the poultry business.
This is true if you continue in the
same old way, but if you will follow a
few simple rules, which every sue
cessful poultry raiser must follow, you
cannot help being successful in just
the degree Of painstaking care with
which you carry on the work.
In the first place you must have
clean, we'll ventilated poultry houses.
These do not cost much and on the
average farm they can be constructed
Of old boards and by the labor Of a
handy man, in one or two days.
The houses must be provided with
clean nests. Build the houses when
ever possible, facing the south, leav-
ing the front open except the cover
ing of small mesh wire to keep out
predatory animals.
If you intend to use incubators and
brooders provide a comfortable brood
er house which can be closed I'D to
shut out the cold. damp drafts of ear
ly spring. Set your incubator in a
warm place-in the attic, the cellar.
or in some room we'll protected.
Next, we want to impress you with
the fact that you cannot raise good
chickens from poor eggs. If you are
satisfied with the mixed breeds, good,
bad and Indifferent, there is little ad-
vice to give you as to their manage
ment.
Ii you propose to raise good chick
ems, fowls that will lay the greatest
number of eggs, or produce the great
est number of pounds of meat. select
your breed, and then buy purebred
eggs. You can only get these by buy
ing from breeders whose integrity is
unquestioned. and who are ready to
guarantee that their eggs will pro-
duce birds true to type.
Insist upon having eggs from hens
and not from young pullets. Eggs
from a hen that is fully grown and

MAKE BACK YARD ATTRACTIVE
Cost Need Not Be Great If a Little
Care Is Given to Proper
Expenditure.

Why not make the back yard just
as attractive, or even more attrac-
tive, than is the front lawn? 1t can
easily be done and at very small ex-
pense. Instead of piles of rubbish, an
unsightly ash barrel or two, more
unsightly garbage receiver, unsightly
clothes-line poles, ETC., take a little
time and spend a little money and
make the back yard lawn or garden
place upon which you will like to
pass a portion of every day.
First, by an underground garbage re-
ceiver, which is sanitary, does not
take up space in the yard, keeps away
rodents, and is a permanent invest
ment. The cover operates by a sim.
pie foot trip, a blessing for the wom-
enfolks.
Keep the ash barrels in the cellar
or under the piazza, where they may
be screened from sight.
Then, instead Of the clothesline
poles, bare and dirty, build a pergola
around them and cover it with climb
ing vines which will keep green all
summer; this will cost only few dol
lars, and will add hundreds of dol
lars worth to the beauty Of the back
yard.
Then, if you have two or three
shade trees there-and if you have
not, you had better have some trans
planted at once-build around each
one a rustic seat; this you can do
yourself at the expense Of only a
pound or two of nails and a few
hours Of work cutting the sticks which
you will need from some nearby
grove.

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS
WHEN BLADDER B0THERS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu.
traIize Irritating Aclds-SplendId
for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
inflame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck Of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with q scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding It.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one Of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
Of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so It no
longer is source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes NO
bad effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, efferves-
cent lithia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.
