After two weeks or more of cloudy
weather, with sleet and rain, the sun
came ont bright on Thursday morning
with a forecast of clear weather for
several days. Farmers generally are
very anxious to get to work making a
crop, as the failures of the past two
years have put them on their mettle,
and they will 20 to work with the de-
termination to succeed. The same
spirit was shown last year, and up to
the time Of the tropical storm and
floods that followed, the crops were
never better worked nor were the pros
poets ever brighter for bounteous
yields. A spirit Of that kind is bound
to win. Let the SIM shine!

Problems 10 Be Solved

More coal has been mined in the
United States during the year 1916
than ever before it is claimed.
Nevertheless, just when the PEG.

demand. The law Of supply and

in prices, and moraiiStS will say
that it works justly, although
there are some radical d0ubterS of
this, Perhaps the experience Of
this year will emphasize the i'm

Old LOOKS /?
(BY DIR. V. M. PIERCE

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid in the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance of gray hair or baldhead
in early years is, indeed, often sign OF
uric acid. The face appears lean and
haggard, lines and wrinkles appearing in
young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is of the
simplest: Drink copiously of pure water
between meals. This will not make you
fat, as it is only the water taken with
the meals that fattens. Obtain at any
dn1e store a small package of Anuric,
which is to be taken before meals, in
order to expel the uric acid from the
system. The painful effects of backachee,
lumbago, rheumatism gout,. due to uric
acid in the blood should quickly disappear
after treatment with Anuric.

POULTRY YARD NOTES.

The proper brooding of chickens is
one of the most difficult operations on
many poultry farms. especially for the
beginner. Many poultry keepers who
are able to obtain good egg yields ana
fair matches make a failure Of brood
ing chickens, either in raising only a
small percentage of the chickens
hatched or in failing to rear strong.
vigorous birds which develop into good
breeding stock Brooding is still in
the experimental stage. and no one
system has given perfect satisfaction.
The poultry specialists of the United
States. Department of Agriculture ad-
wise II he following procedure:
Sitting hens should be confined to
slightly darkened nests at Matching
time and not disturbed unless they
step on or pick their chickens when
Matching. in which case the chickens
should be removed as soon as dry. in
basket lined with flannel or some other
warm material, and kept near fire
until all the eggs are Matched; or the
eggs may be removed and placed under
a Quieter hen, whose eggs are hatch
ing at the same time.
An incubator may also be used to
warm, in case they are removed from
the nest. If the eggs hatch unevenly,
those which are slow in Matching may
be laced under other hens, as hens
often get restless after "a part Of the
chickens are out. allowing the remain
ing eggs to become cooled at the very
time when steady heat is necessary.
Remove the egg shells and any eggs
which have not Matched as soon as the
Matching is over. Hens should be fed
as soon possible after the eggs are
hatched. as feeding tends to keep them
quiet: otherwise many hens will leave
the nest. In most cases it is best that
the hen remain on the nest and brood
the chickens for at least twenty-four
hours after the Matching is over.
Powder the hen with a good insect
powder before moving her and the
chickens to the brood coop. The hen
should be busted every two weeks. or
as often as necessary until the chick
ems ~eaned. II lice become thick
on the chickens. or if they are trou-
hled with head lice" a very little
grease. such as lard or vaseline, may
be applied with the fingers to the af-
fected parts.
The brood coop should be cleansed
at least once q week and kept free

coop, IL should be thoroughly cleaned
petroleum. From one to two inches of
sand or dry dirt or d thin layer Of
straw or fine hay should be spread on
the floor OF the coop. Brood coops
should be moved weekly to fresh
ground, preferably where there is new
grass. Shade is very essential in rear
ing chickens, especially during warm
weather; therefore. the coops should
be placed in the shade whenever pos
sible. A cornfield makes fine range for
young chickens, as. owing to cultiVa-

bugs and worms. and have fresh soil
to run on most of the time and enjoy
abundant shade.
