CARING FOR POULTRY FLOCK
Mistake to Think 1t Is Entirely WON.
ans Work-lnvolves Exposure
to Stormy Weather.

Most farmers consider the care of
poultry "woman's work." and some of
them are actually ashamed to be seen
helping their wives look after the
fowls. What mistake? 1t is not as
much a wornan's work as mans, be-
cause 1t often involves exposure dur
ing storms and cold weather and the
man who will refuse to save his wife
from any bit Of hard work possible is
pretty poor specimen Of a farmer.
If these men would study the science
of poultry raising and give it as much
attention as any other branch of farm.
ing they would make more money and
make it easier.

100 Years Old

1.-THE kidneys play most important
part in causing premature old age and
death--the more injurious the poisons
passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay'-so says distinguished
physician, who further advises all people
who are past thirty to preserve the vitality
of the Kidneys and free the blood from
poisonous elements, such as uric acid
drink plenty Of water-sweat some daily
and take Anuric before meals.
This Anuric is put up in tablet
form, and can be obtained at almost
any drug store. For that backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, rusty" joints,
swollen feet or hands, due to uric acid
in the blood, Anuric quickly dissolves
the uric acid as hot water does sugar.
Discovered by DR.. Pierce Of Buffalo, N. Y.
Prevent premature old age by simply
slipping cup of hot water every morning
before breakfast, taking O little Anuric
before meals and live to be hundred.

pers and Other Injurious Insects
Exposed to Elements.

There are a number of advantages
In fall and winter blowing. The de-
struction Of insects is not the least Of
them. Army worms, cut worms, Hes
sian fly, grasshoppers and other very
injurious insects live over the winter
in the ground and by fall blowing or
disking. these insects are exposed 20
the freezing weather and killed, or
they are crushed and disturbed in
their winter sleep so that they perish.
Old stubble fields should always be
plowed during the fall or winter If the
land is so situated as not to wash.

WHY PROFITS ARE LOW

The business side of agrlcul-
ture, like any other business, is
held down and incumbered by
the multitude who are unwilling
to apply the results Of modern
science or are Indifferent to its
value. Just so long as they are
content to move along in the
same rut, to ignore the findings
of modern science and the tested
experience of others, to let well
enough alone and drift rather
than push, just SO long will the
returns Of the average farm be
absurdly low.-Dean FL. L. Rus
sell, Wisconsin College of Agri-
culture.
