Car Of Anious Brings 1890

Although the South American mar
ket, where practically the entire crops
of 'Anjou pears from Hood River have
been sold in former years, is closed
this season because of lack of ships,
indications are that growers will re-
alize handsome profits on their fruit of
this variety as well as Boscs this sea-
son. The Apple Growers Association
Tuesday received a message from New
York announcing that a carload of
d'Anjous and Boscs, about two thirds
of the 504 boxes extra fancy and the
rest Of the fancy grade, had sold for a
total of 81, 1890.

The Cause of Poultry Sickness.

Dampness and filth are the two prime
causes Of disease among poultry. Idle
ness is disease breeder, busy fowls, rs
a rule, keeping in good health. Filthy
drinking vessels breed undesirable germs
about as quickly ss anything, germs often
hiding In the scum that is allowed to
accumulate.
Exposure to excessive heat, either In
the house or In the run, is fatal, especial
" to overfat hens.
Poultry is naturally hardy. Supplied
with the proper food, confined to we'll;
ventilated, clean and not overcrowded
quarters, and kept free from lice, the
flock can be continuously kept In good
health.
About the quickest way Of creating q
generation of weaklings is to breed from
parents that at some time In their lives
suffered from . contagious disease. In
breeding, too, has produced generations
of weak and sickly offspring. New blood
judiciously added, insures good health.
Breeding from overfst hens 10 liable
to produce weak and puny chicks which,
later on, become prey to disease.
To keep in good health, hen, In pro-
portion to it's size, requires almost seven
times the amount OF fresh air that q
horse needs. The horse sweats through
his skin, but the fowl must get rid OF
the waste of the body by means OF the
lungs, and therefore breathes seven times
as fast as heated, sweating animals.
When filth and droppings are allowed
to accumulate In hen house, tho gase'
that arise therefrom poison the system
of fowls while they are on the roost 81
night, and bring on disease.

Chicken Fat Valuable.

Do you throw away the body fat Of
poultry-big layers of clean, sweet, yel.
low fat around the gizzard and found
else where around the intestines OF the
chickeuP II you do, say specialists OF
the United States Department OF Agri.
culture, you are throwing away tat
which French housewives consider the
finest of fats for making cakes and
especially puff paste. In certain seasons
In New York and other big cities this TAI
is 40 highly esteemed that 1t brings -
much as $1.10 per pound. So great 10
the demand for this fat that many people
make . business Of collecting 1t from
butchers and others who dress poultry
before delivering 1t to customers. House
wives would do we'll to insist on having
It delivered II they buy their poultry
dressed. By using chicken fat In cook.
ing they can cut down the amount OF fat
they must buy for that purpose. To pre-.
pare It, try 1t out in double boiler OF
other weasel set In hot water until the fat
lust melts away from the tissues and car
be poured OF. This fat becomes rancid
easily and should be kept cool and cover
ed like butter, and used In very few
days. Chicken fat, like goose fat, may
be used for shortening In cakes, such .,
spice cake, whore the seasoning used vii
mask any flavor which the fat NIGH
have. Il can also be used for frying tht
chicken itself or other meats and fol
warming vegetables, etc.

Friend in Need
A Friend Indeed;
Woman Proves It
One Acquaintance Recon-
mended New Tanlac, She
Tried It and Improved.

A friend in need is friend indeed
has never been more foroibly demonstrat-
ed than in the case of Mrs. Louise r.
Marden of r. F. D. No. s, Bangor. She
gives friend credit for one of the great.
est changes in her life. What this friend
did was little as far as fsvors are con-
cerned, but it meant much to her-it
meant new health and happiness. Con-
sequently, she is grateful.
Her story is best told iu her own
words. 1t Is similar to Tanlac stories
told throughout the state of Maine every
day.
"I suffered from loss Of appetite, and
could sleep but little," Mrs. Mardeu
explained. "For some unaccountable
reason I had severe headaches most of
the time. was in terribly run down
condition all the time, and could not
understand just why.
Naturally my friends noticed the
change in me and many of them sug-
gested various things but the real friend
was the one who advised me to try Tan
lac. She insisted that Tanlac would
help me and although / had my doubts
determined to try il.
"By the time had taken three bottles
of Tanlac was much improved and /
have been rapidly getting better ever
since. am certainly surprised at the
results I received from Tanlac and II
gives me great pleasure to recommend
it,"
"Mrs. Mardeu started to take Tanlac
just about the right time," said the Tan
lac Man, to whom this remarkable story
was told.
Tanlac now is being specially intro
duced in South Paris by Chas. 81. How
ard Co. and there is Tanlac agent In
every Maine town. Nearby Taniac
agents are: Oxford, G. 81. Jones; Nor
way, F. P. Stone; West Paris. s. I.

Salt Means Much TO Health.

III the human race should be deprived

tive for our food, but disease, with al
its attendant miseries. would spread

the efforts Of the most skillful doctors
of the land. Ailing persons frequently
refuse sugar, but they seldom turn up
their noses ut common salt. That u be-
cause there is In the body q deficiency
of chloride OF sodium, and nature intui-
lively excites the desire for 1t. Salt 10

Fernald on National Prohibition.
WASHINGTON, June Is.

Asked a. to bis attitude toward ma
tional prohibition as war measure, Sen.
ator Fernald of Maine said: "There is
but ono answer I can make:I have told
all who have written me that heartily
favor 1t and that I shall vote for any
measure of that kind which comes be-
fore the Senate. I have supported oil
prohibitory measures before the Senate
aimee becoming . member and cannot, at
this time, see any good reason why
should alter my attitude"
Senator Fernald has not introduced ell
the resolutions and letters endorsing
national prohibition as war measure
which he has received from Maine, but
this does not change the fact that they
have reached him by the hundreds.
Some idea of their number Is to be had
from the fact that for two days In May
one stenographer In bis office did moth.
ing but write acknowledgements OF
these. In addition to this there has not
been q day since the first of May when
the Senator's mail has not included from
one to 20 Of such letters and resolutions.
The seustor's reason for not present.
ing oil these In the Senate has been that
It would unnecessarily load up the rec
ord and thereby greatly add to the cost
of An already expensive publication and
would accomplish no good. On this
point he says: "These resolutions, let
ters and telegrams would influence no
members of Congress outside OF Maine.
Those memb bers will be governed BY
what the people of their states desire
and not what my constituents wish. 1t
is unnecessary to publish them in the
Congressional Record, for I have person
ally aokno wledged each one. Each letter
of reply has contained that which the
Record would not-my position on the
question, which, after all, is what counts.
AZ there are less than 500 copies Of the
Record going to Maine, It is evident that
but very few of the thousands represent
ed BY these petitions would ever see the
Record. Nothing would be gained BY
doing It, beyond piling up expense"
