full appendage that the name Butter
cup was given.
In color the Buttercups more close
ly resmble the Golden-spangledH Ham,
burgs than any other known fowl, the
males are of light yellow or buff
body color quite thickly spangled
with black lacing.
The Buttercups, unlike many So
called new breeds ARE not Of made
up or mongrel origin, but have no
doubt been line-bred for a long per-
iod of time in their native home, and
so breed comparatively true to type,
their greatest variation seeming to be
in color of legs, some being of yell
lowish cast and others Of willowly
green. Their bodies are very plump
and heavy and come to maturity very
early, June-hatched chicks in our
yards beginning to lay in December
and continuing undated through our
usually cold January and February
billiards., when for weeks at a time
the mercury seldom got as high as
zero, and on several occasions touch
ed 80 below.
Buttercups are most active forag-
erS, well adapted for farm life, and
yet are easily fenced and seemingly
as we'll fitted to close confinement,
having none of the wildness which
pertains to the Leghorn class; but on
the contrary, are among the tamest
and most gentle of fowls and become
such pets as to soon endear themsel-
YES to the hearts of their owners. In
fact, / have never in my life before
taken care of a pen of fowls of any
kind with such a feeling of pleasure
and satisfaction as is given me by
this my latest acquisition.
Possibly the fact that some one is
waiting for every egg long before it
is layed, at a price equal to the value
of dozen or more Of ordinary stock
may somewhat intensity my interest
in them; yet | am sure that if were
shipping the product to the market
should have no desire to make a
change
And this is why / believe that But
tercups will continue to be popular
long after the fanciers may have
turned their attention to something
newer Practical worth and utility
value must rule in the end.

Road Hog Pest Is Bane to Careful
Driver

Courtesy on the road is negligible
quantity with some tourists and the
average man driving a car and trying
in every way to obey speed laws re-
ceives scant courtesy. In fact, some
tourists who are openly breaking the
laws revile the men who are doing
their best to observe the letter OF the
statutes.
In some sections and in fact along
MANY of the main travelled highways
that old gag of sfour miles an hour"
or "eight miles an hour" or some 9TH
err nonsensical ruling regarding the
speed that shall be, maintained. has
given way to a politely worded re-
quest that the tourist drive in a safe
way at all times. There is no stip-
ulation regarding speed, no threat
to arrest any one caught breaking the
foolish speed laws and tourists are
placed on their honor.
In spite of this thoughtfulness on
the part of the municipalities there
are tourists who will go through a
town or city like cyclone and then
hide behind the claim that no limit
of speed was named. The tourist
who is trying to earn his welcome by
going at a moderate speed is reviled
by these thoughtless speed fiends who
do not appreciate the fact that they
have been supposed to have some
honor.
After tourists have passed through
such cities as have placed them on
honor they find large sign Thank
you" and the man who has done right,
according to his way of thinking, will
take this sign literally, while the man
who has thoughtlessly or purposely
gone through the town in any but a
safe manner will see the sarcasm of
it, provided he is able to see anything.

TonoIine Is Beauty Aid,
Announces Specialist
Iildred Louise Talk of Interest to
Women

AS health is a first aid to beauty
his story, told by Mildred Louise,
beauty specilist, of Boston, Mass, is
of useful interest.
IL can recommend no better health
giver than tonoline," said Mildred
Louise.
81 was for many months a victim
of stomach trouble and nervousness.
/ had suffered terribly from pains
that followed eating. Headaches al
so would add to my worries. Poor
digestion finally brought on nervous
ness.
"Relief came, however, when took
the advice of several women who said,
Take tonoline.'
mot long after I started the tono-
line treatment, my patrons began to
condition. And because health is the
quickest way to beauty, the improve
ment was particularly noticeable in
my face.
What tonoline really did for me
cannot say. l am so grateful that ]
am very willing to recommend tono-
line publicly"
Tonoline is a purely vegetable pre-
paration which goes to the seat of
common maladies-stomach and kid
ney trouble, catarrhal affections of
the mucous membranes, liver all
ments and impurities of the blood
and quickly restores proper action.
Tonoline is being explained daily to
many people at any drug store.
Notice:-As tonoline is wonder
full flesh builder it should not be TAX
en- by any one not wishing to in
crease his weight ten pounds or more.
Although many reports. are received
from those who have been benefited
by tonoline in severe cases of stom-
ach and nervous dyspepsia, chronic
constipation. etc.

Sicilian Buttercups

EOtCludH DutttICupS
About a dozen years have already
lassed since this candidate for public
lavor was first brought into this coun-
Try under quite interesting circum-
tances, which shows that some great
vents are never planned by anyone,
Jut merely happen.

Fruiter, who visited all parts Of the
Globe, seeking profitable trade in
many foreign ports, when about to

Sicily, in southern Italy, with a car

biased in the market coop of fowls
and took them on board his vessel,
thinking to use them as food on his
journey home.
Thus they were unwittingly placed
on trial for their lives, and they won
Their lives and liberty by laying so
persistently and continuously that
they soon demonstrated the fact that
their product was worth far more as
food to their keeper than their bod
les. and they were brought home, and
ever since have been winning merit
and worth.
Up to the present time Buttercups
have never happened to come into the
possession of any fancier or breeder
with. means or disposition to boom
them through expensive or wide
spread advertising, but whatever pop
ularity they have obtained has been
gained through intrinsic merit, which
consists of beauty of very rare and
distinct type, gentleness of dispisi-
ton, being easy to keep, and a maxi
mum productiveness in eggs.
Buttercups are absolutely non-sit-
ters, their whole thought and force
seeming to be just eggs, eggs, eggs
spring, summer, autumn and winter
nothing but eggs, first, last and all
the time; in fact, they are one Of the
few breeds which have made an an
meal record of 300 large, white eggs.
The most distinctive characteristic
OF the Buttercup is shape of comb,
which differs in type from all others,
being neither single, rose nor pea, but
starting at the base of the bill in a
single form, it soon branches and
runs around the crown of the head in
\ uniform circle of bright red spikes
each of which may be likened unto the
petals Of flower. And it was on &C

many things to say when summer
comes.
He would tell his driver that he
feels the heat on q very warm day
quite as much as II he could read =

He would say: "Give me little
water many times day, when the
heat is intense, but not much at q
time if / am warm; If you want me
to keep well don't water me too soon
after ! have eaten"
He would say: "When the sun is
hot and / am working let me breathe
once in a while in the shade of some
house or tree; if you have to leave
me on the street leave me in the shade
if possible. Anything upon my head,
between my ears, to keep off the sun
is bad for me it the air cannot circul-
ate freely underneath it."
He would talk of slippery streets
and the sensations of falling on cruel
city obblestones-the pressure of the
load pushing him to fall, the bruised
knees and wrenched joints, and the
feel of the drivers lash.
he WOulu Icii VI Tic iuAuIy VI a Hy

when standing still in fly season, and
of the boon to him of screens in the
stable to keep out the insects that
bite and sting.
He would plead for as cool and COM
Portable stable as possible in which
to rest at night after days work
under the hot sun.
He would suggest that living
through warm night in a narrow
stall neither properly cleaned nor
bedded is suffering for him and poor
economy for the owner.
He would say that turning the hose
on him is altogether too risky thing
to do unless you are looking for o
sick horse. Spraying the legs on a
hot day he would find agreeable.
He would say: "Please sponge out
my eyes and nose and dock when
come in tired and dusty at night, and
also sponge me with clean. cool water
under the collar and saddle of the
harness."
