This distinctive breed of fowls was
exported to Europe chiefly through
England. From the Langshan district
in China came the first big beautiful
black fowls which bear the name
I4angshan. AS such they were known
until in later importations white and
notified Langshans were found Then
the first Langshan We're distin-
guished by affiXing Black. History
does not record their date or manner
or origin.
The great size of this breed and it's
wonderful laying qualities made it a
favcrite in England. Its fame spread
to Australia and the United States and
the fowls followed their fame. Many

Food, Fresh Air and Exercise.
OF course, we mean food of the right
sort 4 well rounded fatfon is neces-
sary. The mixed grain scratch foods
on sale the world over are as good as
you can prepare. Other things being
as favorable. the hen that will not lay
eggs with such food is hopeless case.
Sproute.d oats in addition will make
the ration practically perfect. At the
Delaware experiment station dry mash
is kept constantly before the layers. At
three o'clock in the afternoon plenty
of grain is given that the fowls crops
may be full by bedtime. No green
food has been used. for two years past.
The hens have been kept on egg rations
exclusively. They have done better
than formerly when much green food
was given. Such intensive methods,
however, are not best for fowls from
which YOU are to get your future stock.
The biggest problem in the winter
poultry house is that of securing plen-
ty of fresh air along with the comfort
of which | have spoken. There are
many methods of ventilation. Summer
comfort cannot be secured, with fresh
air in abundance, without artificial
heat. But we must not expect, and
we do not need summer heat for the
best results. BY the use Of muslin
curtains and windows that may be
readily adjusted the poultry house can
be flooded with fresh, air sufficiently
to keep the fowls in prime condition.
The system of ventilation that will
send a shaft of cold air onto the hens
at roosting time, is. a deadly thing.

LIME FOR SCOURS.

We have found a cnpful of lime
water given in the milk to be very
helpful in preventing scours in calves
and have cured some bad cases with
the treatment. Place some clean, new
lime in five gallon can and fiji the
can with water. then dip the clear lime
water off the top and fill up the can
as the water is used This should be
kept on hand where several calves are
being reared on skinned milk. When
a calf shows the scours. cut down on

Sugar Beets Best Of Crops

Drainage System Valuable

In all parts of the world where the
rainfall Is under 20 inches soils so
charged with soluble salts that plants
cannot grow upon them are found, and
these are known as alkali soils. They
arc the result of certain conditions:
Not enough rainfall to work out the
soluble salts as in humid regions:
poor drainage, allowing the water to
gather in low places; and excessive
surface evaporation that takes place
in the semi-arid regions. bringing Ill
the soluble salts to the surface in a
more or less concentrated form. When
these soils are reclaimed they arc as
productive as the surrounding soils In
the same region.
There are two classes of alkali soils.

white alkal Is due to common salt.

and is due to sodium carbonate

Plants take their food from the soil

the soluble salts make the solution SO
strong that plants cannot take up the
moisture from the soil. The spring
rains dissolve large amounts of salts
and in dry summer excessive eNapora -

Consider the Lilies of the Field, How
They Grow"

The life of the lily is but a few
weeks or months. The life of man is
"three score years and ten." But to
live ones life in it's fullness, women
like the lily, must be nourished by
those same rival elements which ma
ture provides for nourishing every liv-
ing thing; and these include the val
liable phosphate so often lacking in
the usual food we eat today. Argo-
Phosphate is rich in these wonderful
elements. 1t contains them in concen-
trated tablet form which is easy to
take and quickly assimulated and alb
sorbed into the system, and from youth
to old age, builds and rebuids body and
brain in beautiful harmony with Ma

Argo-Phosphate makes good solid flesh
and muscles.
SPECIAL NOTICE: Argo-Phos-
phate contains the Natural phosphates
which thousands of physicians are
prescribing daily to build up thin, pale,
colorless women to give them rosy
cheeks, red lips, and beautiful COM
plexion. Many cases have been re-
ported where women have increased
their weight from Is to 25 pounds
with few weeks treatment, and any
woman who desires a well rounded
and developed form, should secure
from her druggist, this new drug
which is inexpensive and is dispensed
