MEAT SUPPLY FROM POULTRY
Imperative That Productive Stock Be
Rather Largely Increased During
Current Year.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Meat can be produced from poultry
more quickly than from any other
source. One Of the necessities imposed
upon the United States by It's entrance
into the world war is to produce more
meat than it has ever produced be-
fore. This is essential not only to meet
its own greater needs because of being
on a war basis, but also to save the
countries with which it co-operates in
the war from defeat through lack Of
food.
Meat Is one Of the most essential Of
food products. OF such meats as can
be cured and kept in compact form,
larger quantities than ever before must
be sent to the armies overseas, and the
proportion of these exports to the to-
tai production in the United States Is
likely to increase steadily and ever
rapidly, as larger armed forces from
this country are sent to the fighting
front in Europe.
In order to leave available for the
forces overseas as large a proportion
as possible Of the output Of cured and
compact meats, 1t is desirable that
there be a decided increase in both the
home production and the home con-
sumption Of white meats such as poul-
try. To that end 1t is imperative that
the productive stock OF general farms
and in the back yards Of the nation be
rather largely increased during the
current year. 1t has always been and
will always be true that the great bulk
Of this country's poultry is produced
not on specialized poultry farms but
in the dooryards and farm lots of the
diversified farms. Establishments de-
voting their attention exclusively to
the production Of poultry have been
and will continue to be of rather large
Importance, but they can hardly be
looked to or any very great part of an
emergency increase in production suf-
ficient to constitute a noticeable factor
in feeding the world at war. That de-
mand upon the nations potential pro-
duction capacity can be met, however,
by the farmers and home makers of
the country without any sort or strain
and with compensation in poultry
profits more than commensurate with
the outlay Of money and effort.

SAFE, GENTLE REMEDY
CLEANSES YOUR KIDNEYS

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been a standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-
der are the most important organs of the
body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood. If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins and lower abdo-
men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, %sciatica and lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
All these indicate some weakness of the
kidneys or other organs or that the enemy
microbes which are always present in your
system have attacked your weak spots.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules are
what you need.
They are not a "patent medicine" nor
a new discovery" For 200 years they

They are the pure, original imported Haar-

the kidneys and through the bladder, driv-

fresh strength and health viii come as you
continue the treatment. When complete

taking a capsule or two each day; they will
keep you in condition and prevent a re-
turn of the disease.

pecially dangerous in kidney and bladder

TREATMENT FOR MILK FEVER
All Dairymen Should Be Prepared to
Administer Simple and Successful
Remedy to Cows

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In view of the fact that milk fever
Is a very common disease affecting
cows, particularly the heaviest mixers
in the large dairy district, it is Of
great Importance that dairymen ac-
quaint themselves with the present ex-
tremely successful methods Of treat
ment.
The disease more frequently attacks
well-nourished, feshy, heavy-milking
COWS. 1t occurs during the most ac-
tive period Of life Fourth to sixth
calf, and is characterized by a sudden
onset and complete paralysis. One at
tack does not render the animal i'm
mune. 1t generally follows closely the
act of calving and terminates In a
short time CASUALLY from 1S to e
hours) either In recovery or death.
While the disease may occur at any
time during the year, 1t is seen prin-
son. 1t Is rarely, If ever, met with in
pure beef breeds.
At the commencement Of an attack
there is usually excitement, the spe-
cialists say. The COW is restless, treads
with the hind feet, switches the tail,
and walks about uneasily. These symp-
toms are followed within a few hours
by partial paralysis, indicated by a
staggering gait, especially in the hind
legs. The animal then becomes quiz
eter, more weak, and finally falls down,
unable to rise. While down the animal
assumes a very characteristic position,
which is a great aid in diagnosis. The
head is turned around to the side
chest. On the day following the onset
Of the disease, and in ONE cases even
within a few hours, the animal may
be up eating and drinking in a normal
manner In fatal cases the animal
may remain perfectly quiet, being COM
pletely paralyzed, until death.
The treatment consists of injecting
air through sterile absorbent cotton,
preferably impregnated with carbOlic
acid, into the teats by means of a
specially designed syringe. Soap and
water should first be applied to the
teats and udder, after which they
should be carefully disinfected with a
five per cen solution of carbolic acid
(three tablespoonful to n quart Of
water). Then insert the syringe In
the teats and force air in each quar-
ter Of the udder. After one-fOurth Of
the udder is well distended with FL
tered air a broad piece Of tape should
be tied about the teat to prevent the
air from escaping. In case the air
becomes absorbed and no improvement
is noted within five hours, a repetition
Of this treatment should be made I'M
der the same antiseptic precautions as
the first, each quarter Of the udder
being filled. The air should be left in
the udder for "a hours, and when the
recovery is assured it should be grad
ually MIXED out. 1t Is best to secure
the services of a veterinarian for this
treatment, but this is not necessary II
the dairyman Or farmer has proper
equipment and takes due precautions.

should be moved weekly to fresh

warm weather; therefore, the coops
should be placed In the shade when

BIG TALK FROM KAISER
Says He Licked Russia and Will Lick
the Others

In reply to an address presented by
the Burgomaster of Hamburg on the
conclusion of peace with Ukraine last
Monday, Emperor William Said:
We have gone through hard times
Every one had had a burden to bear
anxiety, mourning, grief, tribula-
ton and not the least he who stands
before you. In him were combined
the care and grief for the entire peo-
pie in its sorrows
We often entered false paths. The
Lord pointed out to us by hard
school the path by which we should
go. The world, however, at the same
time has not been on the right path.
We Germans, who still have ideals,
should work to bring about better
times. We should fight for right and
morality. Our Lord God wishes us
TO have peace. but a peace wherein
the world will strive to do what is
right and>good.
We ought to bring peace to the
world. We shall seek in every way
to do it. Such an end was achieved
yesterday in a friendly manner with
an enemy which, beaten by our
armies; percieves no reason for fight
ing longer, extends hand to us and
receives our hand. We clap hands.
But he who will not accept peace, but
on the contrary declines. pouring out
the blood of his own and of our peo-
pie, must be forced to have peace.
We desire to live in friendship with
neighboring peoples, but the victory
Of German arms must first be recog
nized. Our troops under the great
Hindenburg will continue to win it.
Then peace will come.

GSts. states Food Administration

The Department Of Agriculture is
now opening q campaign urging far
mers to refrain from selling hens
from the first Of February to the
first Of May, and at the time request
ing buyers to refrain from buying
hens during that time.
The Poultry and Eggs Section OF
the United States Food Administra-
ton feels that this Is highly desir-
able move and requests your hearty
cooperation in seeing that the best
possible results are secured.
Every hen which is sold before the
first Of May represents a food loss to
the nation OF about thirty eggs. The
total loss of eggs represented by the
customary selling OF hens between
the first of February and the first Of
May amounts to about 150.OOO,OOO
eggs. The value Of these eggs is
about 80 per cent of what the hen is
actually worth, so that this program
does not entail loss to the farmer,
but an actual gain.
We hope that you will give full
publicity to this program since it is
of interest to producers and dealers
