UNSHAKEN TESTIMONY

Time is the test of truth. And Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the test in Norwich. No Norwich resident who suffers backache, or annoying urinary ills can remain unconvinced by this twice-told testimony.
 Mrs. John wozniak. 2s Elm St, Nor wfch, says: T suffered for three or four years from my kidneys. and never found anything that would give me relief until I began using Doan's Kid ney Pills, procured from sevin & Sons Drug Store. The first box removed the heavy, dull pain that had settled fin my back and when I had finished the second box, felt like different woman. The action of my kidneys be- came regular and the kidney disorders were corrected" (Statement given July.s22, 1911.)

FEEDING A YEARLlNG
 HoLsTEFN FOR DEBT
Value lad Doubled In Si<ty-six Days
 at State College.

Tn August. 1915. Q neighboring breed CT gave to the dairy department of the Connecticut Agricultural College a freemartin Holstein calf, which had been dropped in his herd. It was grown with the other calves of the college herd during that year and up until November, 1916. At that time, since the calf was sterile, it was of $20.00 for it. But it was decided to fatten the calf in order to determine whether or not such process was worth while.
 butcher the calf weighed 65S pounds. At the end of sixty days fattening period it had gained 156 pounds mak- ing a total of STA pounds. The same butcher then returned and paid $52 at this time for the calf. Perhaps the
 maximum price had not been offered at the first visit Assuming that she was worth 4 cents per pound, her val ue would have been s26 After sixty six days feeding it had exactly dou- bled. Since she sold for 6.3Sc a pound a spread" of 2.SSc was obtained. The average daily gain was 2.37 pounds.
 The calf was fed upon a ration con- sisting of Hhseed oil meal, part, dis tillers grains, parts, midd1ings 4 1-2 parts, and beet pulp, 6 parts. The 1855 pounds of digestible protein and 1859 pounds of digestibte nutrients daily. The nutritive ratio was 1 to 6.3. Corn, except in the form of sil- age. was prohibhtive because the feed used had been bought on a low mar ket early in the year at a price cheap CT than corn could have been furnish ed. During the sixty-six days the calf consumed d,534 pounds of silage (23.2 daily); 225 pounds of hay GA pounds daily) s53 pounds of grain (12.9 pounds daily).
 The actual price paid for feeds in- cluding the cost of carriage (s1.25 per ton) was distillers' grains, s30.25. oats S36.25. middlings $30g25, bran $25 %, oil. meal $23, gluten feed $35 .25, beet pulp S28, siiage 5, hay $20. The prices of these feeds on hand will show why distillers' grains, middlings, oil meal, beet pulp and si1age were chosen to feed. the calf. Only enough hay was given to supply the need for dry roughage.
 The total cost of the feed .consun-ed was $1S6s. The cost per 100 pounds of grain was s11.94, and profit above the cost Of feed was s3e32. and if the initial value be taken at $20.00 it would be $13.32. If the price of feed had been considered at the present mar ket prices, the feeder would have just broken even. assuming that he could have made the initias sale of S25.

FORK PRODUCTION
 IN CONNECTICUT
Attractive Opportunity Offered For
 increasing Meat Supply.

Pork production offers one of the most attractive opportunities for the increase of our meat supply. Hogs are very prolific, attain a marketa ble cal meat producers. Furthermore, they will consume waste products that in many cases would not be utilized for anx other purpose.
 The very high price of pork pro ducts is attracting many into the business although grain is so high that its use is almost prohibited in meat production except when used judici- and pasture. There is no economy in stinting the grain ration because it is high but rather one should study to have the grain eaten in liberal amounts and to the best possible ad- vantage. The pigs should be kept growing steadily. Just at present middlings. barley and tankage offer perhaps the best values in purchased feeds for growing pigs. Forage crops of rye. oats and peas. clover, alfalfa and rape will aid materially in the production of large healthy pigs at minimum cost
 Under present conditions 1t is es- pecially important to select and save as many good brood sows as can be accommodated. These should be care fully reared. for breeding late in the faH for next springs farrow. Thous- ands Of western pigs are shipped in
 
 bred and well grown spring pigs to offer next year will be in a position to realize a good profit from his business to say nothing of his part in food pro- duction.
 Mangels and clover or alfalfa hay and waste vegetables will materially cheapen the cost of carrying them over. This is the time to plan for next winters feed and for next springs filters.
 Those which are selected for brood sows should be pastured and fed lib orally to promote growth and build up a strong constitution but should not be finished off with the butcher stock.
 Hog lice are very commonly neglect ed and result in seriously reducing the gains. These may be prevented by dipping in any of the coal tar dips. A good wallow of concrete or plank kept filled with water with a thin coating of oil is also good. Rubbing posts are fairly effective as Is also the direct emulsion or one part pine tar to three parts lard the latter to be preferred.
 Losses from hog cholera in Connec- tfcut have been heavy in the past and would seem to warraut inocuIation with anti cholera serum. The sinnul- taneous treatment is recommended as a cheap and effective means Of insur- ance. The last. session of the -leg1sla- ture passed laws that should be of great value along this line.

SHOULD PRUNE YOUNG TREES.
Tops Should Correspond With Reduce d
 Rootage.

There are many young trees being set out this spring both in backwards and in commercial orchards which have not been properly pruned. A young fruit trees set out Just if was received from the nursery without any pruning is liable to dry out and be very slow in starting. In spite of the many years these trees are to stand. people fail to realize that it's immedis ate future depends upon proper treat ment after 1t is set. The broken roots should have been cut off before plant ing and this is all the cutting that could have been done then. After tree is set in the ground the pruning of the top can be done to the best advantage Although expert orchard ists differ as to the exact methods of pruning in some cases, there are a few fundamental principles. For instance, the young branches of this nursery stock are some day to become the scaf- fold branches for great tree. Their growth should be guided and con. troled with the pruning shears. Cut out any and all weak crotches. A weak crotch Is very sharp V ehaped, and when loaded with ice and snow or fruit in later years will break down and inJure the tree. AS a general prin- ciple the farther apart the side branch es occur on the trunk, the stronger they will be.
 A young tree from the nursery has had its root system torn and injured. Many Of it's hneSt roots were left in the soil. If it is set ont without cut ting the top back it will be impossible to get a vigorous growth on the entire top. Often good trees are injured by drying out early in the spring before the roots become established in the soil. It sometimes takes courage to cut back young tree, but it is neces- sary. Prune it to four or live scaf- fold branches if 1t is a two year old. Such pruning gives the tree a better chance to start and a better set of main branches upon which to grow and build a great tree. The three four or five scaffo1d branches should each be cut back to about six inches.

keys, because they do particularly well when the weather has become dry and warm. With the old birds on free range during the spring and summer one good daily feed of grain, prefer ably oats, is sufficient to keep the birds in good condition.
 To grow young turkeys 1t is very important that the supply of sweet time they are matched. A good sub stantial coop should be provided for the young and the mother should be confined to this coop soon after her young are matched and be. kept there for several weeks while they are al- lowed to run about. When two tur- key hens with broods of about the same age are turned out on free range together they will remain in one flock and this makes it easier to care for them.
 Improper feeding and too close con hnement is usually the cause of fail ure in turkey raising. When on free range the poults get suffi cient exer- kind of feed they get Is such that there is no danger of injuring their digestion. If the range Is plentifully supplied with green feed, grasshoppers and other insects it is the best plan to allow the poults to feed themselves during the day and giving them a light feed of grain at night in order to bring them home. If this feed is
 
 wandering quite far away, from home.
 Small poults require mere animal feed than little chickens and | gen erous supply of milk should always be available as a substitute for flies and bugs which are their natural feed. The first ten days the pouHs should be fed every two hours, always leav- ing them, a little hungry after each feed. Overfeeding scauses the S,ath of many poults. The grain given them should be in the form of a mash, but should be mixed 90 that 1t Is crumbiy, but never sloppy. r -
 As soon as the poulte are able to jump a. 12-inch board fence they should be allowed range. Exercise is important in the raising of young tur- keys. Fresh, dry steel-cnt oat meal. alternating with stale bread dipped in milk, is a good feed for the first two weeks. This can.be fed until the tur- keys are large enough to eat whole wheat. Present prices of wheat makes it important that the. poults be out on free range. as soon as possible, then the feed problem is settled
 yIAce, dampness filth and oyerfeed- ing are the four principal causes of failure in turkey raising. With these things properly watched there is no reason why so per cent. of every hatch should not be reared to matur itY
