WHAT NEAT, ARTISTIC
PRINTING MEANS TO YOU

Have you ever stopped to think
of the impression that your job printing

Unless your printing is neat and
distinctive you lose prestige. The way
to gain prestige and create favorable
first impression is to let this printery
do your printing.
Our Office is the best equipped in this
section to handle all classes of printing.
We will give you printing that will
please.

electric service available to those who have hitherto

from hens at all ages-or disastrous
results are quite likely to follow.
Plenty of fresh water at all times is
also essential to health. So are grit,
shell and beef scraps. Fine charcoal
in the dry mash is a great health pre-
server and the hens like it and will
use 1t in the proper quantity if given
the opportunity. 1t should not be
given the little chicks before they are
four weeks old, but after that little
will be good for them. If the young
chicks are given milk il should be
so fed that they cannot get into it or
scatter it about, for dampness from
milk is as bad as from water, and must
be avoided.
Filth the Greatest Menace TO Health

habit of putting off until tomorrow
many of the things that ought to have

other way can they be induced to eX-
ercise. Without this incentive some
tlmes they will stand still and freeze
rather than move about.
PLENTY of Sunlight and Air Necessary
good many poultryhouses are
bullt on entirely wrong princinIes
notwithstanding the enlightennent
resulting from the extensive inyesti-
cations of recent years. Every noI,I-
tryhouse should face as nearly south
as circumstances will permit. and
should never face the west or the
north. This is particularly true in
cold climates, of course. The impor-
tance of sunlight and fresh air can
not be overestimated, nor can tbe
danger from drafts, which nroduce
colds and eventually roup. and must
be avoided at all cost It is abso-
lutely essential that the houses be so
situated that they will get the early
morning sun in every nook and cor
ner, which means they must have
large windows and many of them, and
these should remain open at ali tir1as
except in extreme weather. With no
openings on the north or west, how
ever. houses can be so arranged that
windows may be left open even in
clustering weather without any
drafts reaching the hens.

RED PILE GAME BANTAMS
COPYRIGHT 1916

Almost from the beginning of poul-
try culture. there have been fanciers
who sought to establish breeds of
Bantams, modelled on the shape and
type of the larger or standard va
rieties of fowls. The game fowl at
one time was the most popular fowl
in England, hence it is natural that
bantams of this fowl be among the
first originated.
Sixty years ago the Game Bantam
was short-legged, loose feathered,
carried a big spread tail and long
dropping wings; which paralleled the
standard Games, of that time. About
1882 the first Game Bantams of good
quality were reported and by 1867
considerable progress was shown, un-
til now we have now even better
quality in the Bantams than in the
larger Games. They have been
brought TO high state of develop
ment in England. and many of the
best specimens have been imported by
American Breeders. This imported

use of muslin curtains instead OF win
dows, and this may be modified in
very cold climates by using part cur
tains and part windows. The curtains
may be closed in extreme weather
and there will still be plenty of air.
If windows are all closed, however,
even in zero weather, the result will
be unhealthy conditions; the breath
of the birds will CONCEAL, forming
thick coatings of frost on the walls
and ceiling, from which moisture will
quickly form, and sickness in the
flock will be the very quick result
With closed glass windows extremes
of temperature are reached in the
twenty-four hours of the day, which
are very bad. Because of the frost
and dampness on the walls the great
est degree of cold will be reached
during the night, and in the day time
the sun shining through the glass
will produce far greater degree of
warmth than would be the case with
either an open window or a curtain.
This is often the cause of serious
trouble, and sometimes fatal cpl
denies of contagious diseases result
from the continuation of such condi-
tions.
With careful attention to such de-
tails there need be no serious sickness
in any flock of we'll bred poultry.
In Case of Sickness
There are many remedies offered
for the cure of the various poultry
diseases, but if proper conditions are
maintained there will be very little
need for them. The AK can be ap-
piled to the sick bird as soon as a
malignant disease is discovered, for
unless it is a show specimen which
has taken many awards, or has rare
winning qualities the affected bird is
not worth the trouble and risk of try
ing to cure it. Kill it at once before
it has a chance to spread its trouble
to the entire flock, burn the carcass
then cleanse the entire section of the
plant that the sick bird has recently
visited, and the trouble will be ended
In case of a severe epidemic, which
need never occur If sanitary conditions
are maintained, II will be necessary
to disinfect the buildings and all the
implements very thoroughly. and seed
down the ground used for the poultry
plant, Transforming it again into a
fresh, clean spot, or the disease may
be expected to crop out at some fu-
ture time. Should lice or mites ap-
pear, they may be disposed of by the
use of simple disinfectant, without
serious injury to the birds; but this
will be job, and it is a job that
should not be delayed.

The American Game and Game Ban
tam Club-devoting its attention to
the development and extension of the
breeding of Game Bantams.
They are exclusively a fancier's
fowl, for the eggs and carcasses are
not salable on account of their small
size. They require but little space and
small expense for feed, however, and
make excellent pets for the boy or
girl.
The Red Pile Game Bantam is one
of the handsomest variety of the
breed. The color of the male is
white, excepting the head, neck, back,
top OF wings and secondary flight
feathers, which are red. The female
is white, excepting the breast, which
is salmon red and the neck, where
every feather is edged with lemon

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just as
natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as we'll refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels
must be kept active. This is inn
portant at all ages, but never so much
as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh ply
sizes. Youth may occasionally whip
the bowels into activity. But a lash
can't be used every day. What the

only such tonic is Cascarets, and they
