WASHINGTON. August i-From a
twcnty~four page Gxa-inch pamphlet
now being widely circulated by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. entitled The Agricultural Sit
uat!on for 1918" part NJ, devoted to
Poultry. %e quote the following par
aEraphs that viii! DC OF special in

standard fowl:
There should NOT DE any discourage
ment Of the breeding of what is ordi-
nariiy known as fancy poultry. That
term is usually applied TO the standard
breeds as kept by specialist who pro-
duce exhibition birds. That practice
has always resulted in more or less
general Improvement of poultry and
should continue to perform Just that
function q this time when the wider
keeping OF a better grade of poultry
stock cannot fail TO result, in an in
creased production. The work OF the
agement TO the general farmer and
the backyard poultry keeper TO take
better care of their nocks.
While the main effort i'm the (rres-
eni war-timc) campaign to increase
the nations stocks OF productive poul.
try Is TO be directed to the farmer AID
the city householder. /, does no. FOL
low that the specialist (the breeders of
standard fowD in poultry production!
cannot render good service in THIS
cause. He may, however, find 1t de-
sirabls and conducive to his greater
rroht to diversity his farming and pro-
duce larger proportion of his feed
stuffs on his own ground.
Every farmer who becomes inter-
estei in increasing and improving his
farm poultry and every town resides /
who begins tc keep poultry in the
backyard is going TO buy stock ., esGs
for Matching or baby chicks. This
should cause at least the normal de-
mand for birds. eggs and chicks in he
early part OF the season and alsc
stimulate demand for puilets in tho
fall.
IN many cases it would be to the ad-
vantage TO farmers undertaking to in
crease and improve their focks to buy
standard males OF general purpose
breeds because of the additional size
and weight such males will give the
chicks. to say nothing of the prob
able increase in egg production. From
one to two pounds extra weight can
be put on the chicks from ordinary

ONE CAUSE Of BACKACHE

Many people think they have kid
ncy trouble because they have back.
ache. but more backache Is caused
By overstraincd and undernourishcd
muscles than by anything else. In
such cases the blood needs building
up.
Many rheumatic people suffer
pains that could be avoided by build
ing up the blood. When rheumatism
is associated with thin blood, the
rheumatism cannot be cured TO stay
cured until the blood is built up.
