ShortenIno Bird Season.

Pennsylvania II the latest Of the
states to take up the question Of short
er open seasons on game birds, and
good reasons for curbing the activities
of hunters are presented In n statement
of the game commission now being sent
to individuals and sporting associa-
tons.
Birds are being eXterminated under
the present laws, and the remedy pro-
posed is in restricting the season to
one month and changing the date until
the birds are fVll-grown and better
able to take care of themselves.
What particular hardship would
there be in ordering n close season for
two three or five years and then seeing
that the law is rigidly enforced? Quail
and other game birds need more pro
lection than the existing laws have
given them, and If all the states would
agree upon an adequate program of
conservation the country would be
benefited by the saving of the food
products now destroyed by insects

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-Root. DR.. Kilmer's Prescrlp-
ton, Overcomes Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
Offering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DR.. kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

Experience has convinced many that
It pays in the ordinary farm flock to
keep hens for three years before turn
ing them of.
The greatest egg yield can be ex-
pected during the pullet year, and
many pOultrymen advocate keeping
them only for that length Of time.
They pay about as good returns for
the work and expense given them dur
ing the succeeding two years In the
average farm flock.
One of the big OUTLAWS of both time
and capital in the poultry business is
the raising Of chicks. If the hens drop
Off laying in September or October
and get busy once more early in the
year, they can be carried through the
period of rest much cheaper than pull
lets can be raised. So, since poultry
is only n very profitable side line with
us, many believe the keeping Of hens
reduces the work Of chicken raising
without materially reducing the in

Most hens generally consider their
years work completed in September
or early October. They are as care

LoBELIA USED AS A DRUG
American Indians Gathered Plant for
Their chests-CaIIed "lndian
Tobacco"

American Indians found n plant
growing in damp woods, handsome in
spikes of pale blue flowers, which they
used as medicine.
When the white man came the same
plant won the favor both of the apOth-
ecary and the gardner, but the gar
dener has paid more attention to its
cultivation than has the apOthecary.
Hence we know 1t more as a flower
than as a drug. 1t is the lObelia,
named for Matthias Lobel, a Flemish
physician and bOtanist, says the Phil
adelphia North American.
The medicinal substance In the plant
is called lObelin, an alkaloid, although
the Indians probably didn't know it.
The common use Of the plant among
the aborlgines led the early settlers to
call it Indian tobacco"
When 1t is cultivated for commerce
the seeds are scattered on the sur
face of the ground late in fall or early
in spring. They terminate early in
spring and send down roots.
When the flowers are blooming the
plants are cut and dried in the shade.
An acre of good soil will yield 1000
to 1000 pounds of herbs.

HOW TO MAKE A RATPROOF CHICKEN COOP

The run is 10 inches high, being con-
structed of planed boards 10 inches
wide, which extend in one piece the
full length of the coop. Pine lumber
is used throughout.
For handling the chicks and clean

partment is provided In front with a

TREATMENT FOR BRooDY HEN
Practical and Humane Way Is to Iso.
late Her In open, Airy Coop
In Sight Of Others.

The sensible way to treat a brOody
hen is to treat her as a laying hen.
She has temporarily stopped laying,
and with proper treatment can soon
be brought to laying again. The prac-
teal and humane way is to confine
her in an open, airy coop in sight of
the outside hens, and provide roost
for her at night. While confined, give
the same, or better, care in the way
Of food, drink and comfort as the hens
outside receive.
Combining a broody hen for a day OF

must stand up continuously, or hang.
ing her up in a sack for three days
without food or water are methods
that are neither humane nor econom.

ruary you can depend upon a generous
basketful. With the LeghOrns there
seems to be no tendency toward over
fairness. The few that become broody
as spring advances are 'broken up"
in a humane manner and are back on
the nest with a "red face" in a few
days.
They are given a free range and
all the care ~vOuchsafed the pullets.
Last year our hens made an average
of ten dozen per head. Many Of these
were laid during the months Of cheap
eggs, but not all by any a Dur
ing August they laid as heavily as
in April, and August prices are not to
be scOrned. At that time they picked
much of their living about the fields
and grain stacks. II was very dry,
so we supplied them with all the green
food In the way Of early cabbage and
sprouted oats that they would con
sumo. Abundance of food postponed
the mott and kept them "On their job
At the end of their third laying
year they are sold at once. After that
age hens seem more susceptible to
disease, and we consider it a risk to
keep them longer. The secret of get
ting old hens to lay seems to rest In
keeping them busy, giving them free
range, plenty of good food, an abun
dance of green stuff.
