SIGN OF GOOD DIGESTION.

When you see cheerful and happy

good digestion. If your digestion is

Tablets. They strengthen the stom-
ach, improve the digestion and cause
a gentle movement of the bowels. OBJ

PRODUCE EXCHANGE HAS
- LARGE POSSIBILITIES

A little business is making it's start
here this week that in time to come
will be one of the biggest businesses
in the community. 1t may, or it may
not, grow to enormous proportions
under its present management, though
we feel sure that the people of the
country will lend it the support to as
sure it's success from the start. We
are making this reference to the Pro-
duce Exchange which Mr.. T. B. Nc
Millin is establishing here. Mr.. Nc
Millin is starting on the ground floor
here in a business that in time will
work into one of the largest in the
community, because it will furnish a
ready market for all the same pro-
duce of the country, and we all know
that many mites is much mightier
than one much.
Mr.. McMillin will start in a small
way, buying chickens and eggs, and
such other small articles as do not
require a cold storage system to han
die. and later as the business grows
he hopes to be encouraged to put in
cold storage and handle vegetables
and all manner of fam produce.
There are numbers of places near
here where the poultry product
amount to big thing. Two of these
towns which we call to mind particu-
larly are Rayne and Church Point
from each of which the egg shipmsn'
alone keep the communities in ready
money throughout the season. Through
their poultry most of the farmers OF
those sections feed and clothe theil
families throughout the year, so that
when harvest time comes their grain
and cotton crops are nearly always
free from debt.
There is no place in the world
where poultry can be raised as easily
or as cheaply as right here and yet
we are not making much of our op
portunity in that line. 1t is true thai
number of hen yeardS in this sec
ton tell a tale of property but they
are the exception rather than thu
rule. Every farm should raise chcik
ems in the same ratio as its othe
produce. This is necessary for al
even balance of things. The farmer
should raise sufficient vegetables AM
small produce to supply the communl
ties in which they live, too. 1t i
true that potatoes can be raises
cheaper in some sections of the coun
try than they can here, but the cos
of transporting them here is NOR tina
the difference in the cost of produc
ton, therefore the country is losin
money when it imports potatoes, an
if country is loosing money the in
dividuals who live in it are losn
money.
For the sake of the future welfal
of the community raise as much pro
duce as you can this year, and by a
means raise tn chickens. The Wells
Produce Exchange will undertake t
get for you the highest market pric
for anything that can be handle
from this point, and will also under
take to keep you posted as to tn
best lines to push.

How To Care For Machinery.

If it is impossible 20 house the ma
chinery, it is especially necessary that
liberal coats of paint and oil be Gp-
piled at the close of the seasons work.
All working parts should be cleaned
and oiled, and pillow bottoms, cultiva-
tor shoyels, disc harrow blades, plant
er and grain drill furrow openers
should be painted to prevent rusting
\ good combination Is made by mix
ing axle glease and lubrieating oil
until thick paint is obtained. A lib
eral application of this keeps moist
ure away from the metal wearing
parts and prevents rusting. When
paint is knocked from the wood or
metal parts it should be repainted
In the implement shed, disc har-
rows, the discs of the grain drill, and
planter furrow openers should be
placed on boards. During the early
winter all implements should be look
ed over for defective parts loose or
lost bolts. A few minutes dN Voted to
repair work al this time may save
many dollars the coming spring
II is useless to attempt TO do eff
cient work with dull tools. The pillow
share must be sharpened properly and
kept that way; the same with the disc
harrow. Sharpen the latter at least
once a year-better still, when il
needs it. Transportation trucks may
be obtained and placed under the disc
moving it from place to place without
unduly dulling the blades when not in
use Align the moving machine il
necessary. Each ledger plate of the
sickle bar should work in close prox-
unity to the sickle section A sharp
sickle and good adjustments result in
lighter draft and more efficient work
Sharpen the teeth of the section
harrow TO q point
may be best for the smoothing roller
if it squeaks and oiling is difficult.
If a commercial fertilizer is used in
the grain drill. clean thoroughly when
finished to prevent corrodng.
Keep cutivator shovels sharp to do
good work.
Keep the spreader repaired. Keep
its working parts clean. Do not al
low too much accumulation in winter
when freezing takes place
Proper care, housing. paint, oil and
grease are essential to long life and
efficiency of farm Implements.
