BETTER ATTENTION TO EGGS
They Should Be Uniform in Color and
Shape, and Regular in Size as
Far as Possible.

More attention should be paid to
eggs at all times and under all cir
cumstances. This means that they
should be uniform in color and shape
and regular in size as far as possible.
II they had more attention paid to
them at our fairs and were brought
to the notice of the public and tho
farmers in particular, much good
would come from It, Let us offer
good prizes for display OF eggs, say
not less than three dozen. and have II
stipulated that they be strictly fresh;
that no cold storage stock need apply
for the sake OF selecting for size. II
such n plan were carried out at "A
number of our fairs for a few years
the selection OF good eggs would get
to be a science and would interest the
poultry public TO a great degree, and
be OF untold benefit TO all of us
whether as producers or consumers OF
eggs.

turkeys for breeding are given:
First-Always use as breeders
turkey hens over one year old. BE

EXPERIMENTS
Teach Things Of Value.

Where one has never made the ex-
pertinent of leaving of coffee and
drinking Postum, II is still easy TO
learn something about 1t by reading
the experiences OF others.
Drinking Postum is a pleasant way
out of coffee troubles. A Penn. man
says:

sorted to numerous methods for re

coffee to tea, II was all to no pur, ose

trouble but could not find anything to
take its place until we tried Postum.
Within two weeks after she quit coffee
and began using Postum almost all OF
her troubles had disappeared as IL by
magic. 1t was truly wonderful. Her
nervousness was gone, stomach trop
BILE relieved, appetite improved and.
above all, nights rest was complete
and refreshing.
This sounds like an exaggeration,
as 1t all happened so quickly. Each

There is no economy in feeding
