POULTRY
FATS
MORE CHICKENS ARE WANTED
Farmers Are Urged by Department OF
Agriculture to Stock Their Farms
With More Poultry.

(From the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)
The United States department OF ag'
riculture urges as many as possible OF
the farmers who have not raised chick
ems to stock their farms this year with
fowls, enough at least to supply the
needs of their own households. This
will be a big factor in the nationwide
campaign which will endeavor to dou-
BILE this year the chicken and egg pro-
duction of the United States. Accord
ing to the last census, Of the 6,37l,ooz
farms in the United States, 1,527,743
reported no egg production. The more
chicken-and-more-egg campaign Is ex'
pected to displace millions OF POUNDS
of beef and pork in American menus
and send the released product across
the ocean to our soldiers, the allies
and the hungry people of the lands
devastated by the Prussian war torch.
The department does not advise that
the general farmer embark In exten'
sive raising of poultry, but warns
against such ventures. But 1t sees
no reason why every farm should not
produce enough chickens and eggs for
its own use, and why there should not
be enough surplus to make chickens
and eggs available to the general pub
lie at reasonable prices and in such
quantities that there will be markedly
less domestic demand for the meats
that are needed abroad and that can
be transported there.

QUIT MEAT # YOUR
KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take tablespoonful of Salts if
Back hurts or Bladder
bothers.

We are a nation Of meat eaters and
our blood Is filled with uric acid, says
a well-known authority, who warns US
to be constantly on guard against kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste Is retained In
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliglng you to seek
relief during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces OF
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful In q
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in a few days your kid
neys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine 80 1t Is no
longer q source Of irritation, thus end,
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful efferves.
cent lithia-water drink, and nobody
can make mistake by taking little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean
and actiye.-Adv.

The Wealth Of the Ukraine

The states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, and Wisconsin have COM
bined area about equal to that OF the
new Ukrainian Republic. Putting 1t
In another way, Ukrainia, according to
native writer, is as large as the
German empire with the state OF lll1-
nois annexed.
Mere area in itself signifies little,
but the extent of land surface COM
prised within the limits Of the new
republic of Ukrainia contains the most
fertile parts of the old Russian empire.
It is known as the "Black Earth Belt
and has been not only the granary OF
Russia but the greatest granary OF
eastern Europe. In 1914 onethird OF
Russia's total farm products came
from this BLACK Earth Belt" which
is really Russia's wheat belt Ukrainia
produces 80 per cent Of Russia's crude
sugar and SO per cent Of her refined
sugar. The tobacco production Of the
region is relatively as large as that of
sugar. The Ukrainian supplies about
so per cent Of the Russian livestock
output.
Not only is the Ukraine great
source of agricultural wealth, but in
mineral resources 1t has been to Rus
sia what the northern provinces of
France, now overrun by the Germans,
have been to that republic. OF coal
it has produced 70 per cent of the total
Russian product, an equivalent pro
portion Of pig iron, and Of steel nearly
as much. Manganese, mercury, pc
troleum, peat, phosphorite, and kaolin
are other important mineral products
Of the Ukraine.-From "The Urainian

FEEDING sILAeE TO STOCK
No Better or More Economical Feed
as Roughage for Finished
Stock for Market.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
As a roughage for finished stock
there is no better or more economical
feed than silage for 1t produces large
daily gains and aids in keeping the
animals in healthy condition so that
they can handle other feeds more eff
fectively. An advantage in feeding
silage to beef cattle that is often over
looked, is that it enables the feeder
to carry his stock for long time so
as to pass over a period Of depression
in the market.
Silage also can be proftably used to
supplement pastures for steers during
time Of drought, when they are be-
ing finished for market.
For many years the belief was gen.
eral that cattle which received silage
as a major portion Of the roughage
would have to be kept in warm barns
and not exposed to the cold. While
they do need protection from the cold
winds and rains and need dry place
to lie down, 1t has been clearly demon
strated that warm barns are not only
unnecessary, but that fattened cattle
make both larger and cheaper gains
when fed in the open sheds than when
confined in barns. Stocker or thin cat
tie receiving silage will, Of course.
need more protection than animals
which are being fattened.
The theory that silage-fed cattle
shrink very heavily in shipping to mar
| ket is erroneous. While the actual
shrinkage during transit is sometimes
greater, the fill taken at market is
usually good, and If good judgment
is used in preparing them for shipping
the net shrinkage is no greater than
for cattle which have been fed on dry
feeds. For 36 hours previous to ship
ping nice bright hay and stover should
be substituted for the silage in the
ration.
The general impression that choice
or prime carcasses cannot be made by
the use of succulent feed is equally
untrue, as the silage-fed cattle usually
make more desirable carcasses than
cattle fed similar ration, except that
silage was replaced by one Of the
coarse folders. There is no appreciable

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell,
because It's done so naturally, so even

at home is mussy and troublesome.
For so cents you can buy at any drug

this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time. By morning
all gray hair disappears, and, after an
other application or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant.

Is q sign of old age, and as we all de-

FOWLS EAT WASTE MATERIAL
On Some Farms Chickens Pay for
Themselves by Destruction Of In
lurious Insects.
From the United States Department Of
Agriculture)

(From the United States Department Of
Agrieulture)
Chickens us n by-product of general
farming find much of their feed In the
waste materials that otherwise would
serve no useful purpose. The atten-
ton and labor they require can be CIV
en- largely even by children, and should
not require the employment Of addi-
tional hired workers. On some farms
the chickens practically pay for them
selves by their destruction Of orchard
and vegetable Insects. On others they
help to pay for themselves by their
production of manure, which when
properly used largely increases the
value Of the land. Fifty fowls win an'
nually produce at least a ton OF ma.
nure that can be made as valuable as
commercial fertilizer.

Ouch ?!?!! This kind Of rough
talk will be heard less here in town If

the simple advice Of this Cincinnati

of drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn or hardened
callous stops soreness at once, and
soon the corn or callous dries up and
lifts right off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never inflames or even irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bottle
of freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callous
from ones feet. Millions Of Americas 8

ment since the inauguration of the

FEED WORK HORSES ALFALFA
Bad Practice to FIJI Manger Morning,
Noon and Night and Let Animals
Eat All They Want.

The method practiced by majority
of those who have been feeding
alfalfa to work horses has been to fill
the manger morning, noon and night,
allowing the horse to eat all he
wishes. Prairie hay has been fed In
this way without any serious results,
but not so in the case Of alfalfa hay.
Alfalfa hay is very palatable and
horses eat very large amounts. Elk
cesslve urination and soft, "windy'
horses that are puffed in the hooks,
stocked on the legs and unable to en-
dure hard work result. This has been
the experience of hundreds of horse
men. The trouble is with the method
of feeding, not with alfalfa hay.
