POULTRY NOTES
The Early Bird Pays.

POu try raIserS throughout the coun-
..y should not lose sight of the fact
TIA, it pays better to raise standard
area poultry than the common barn
yard or mongrel fowl. The standard
Dred fowls cost no more TO raise, house
or market than the mongrel; they eat
no more and lay better. They are
more Uniform in size and color and
wnen dressed for the market they
bring more per pound. Standard bred
poultry can rough it as well or better
than the common barn yard fowl. We
Therefore advise all who possibly can
TO raise good. strong, vigorous stand
ard bred birds. In order that this may
be successful. there is no question
about the early hatch" hate" campaign that
was so vigorously pushed last season
and which is also being pushed this
season. Early hatch" means early
lay" and summed up means more
money TO the producer. The State
College Of Agriculture and the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, co-operat-
ing, working through County and
Home Demonstration Agents and as
sisted by Local Leaders and Commit
teemen, wish all to keep up the good
work in early Matching.

Why Do All Doctors
Prescribe Calomel?

Of all the medicines in the world,
doctors prescribe calomel most often
and depend upon 1t most universally.
There must be good and sufficient
reason-what is it?
If you will study the doctors books
you will find that the medical author
titles prescribe calomel for almost
every disease. The reason is that cal
omel is the greatest and only thor
ough system purifier. 1t makes the
liver active, drives out the poisons
from the stomach, bowels and kid
neys and thereby purifies the blood
Calomel puts the entire system in the
most favorable condition for Nature
to exercise her recuperative power
Your doctor will tell you that drugs
merely assist Nature. That is why
he prescribes calomel SO often.
The new kind of calomel called
"Calotabs,' is refined and purified
from all Of the nauseating and dan.
gerous qualities Of the old style Gallo
mel and is rapidly taking its place
for it is more effective than the ole
style calomel as a liver-cleanser an,
system-purifier. One Calotab at bed
time, with swallow of water-that
all. No nausea, nor the slightest un
pleasantness. Next morning yo,

please-fruits, acids or anything. N

PICKLING


Pickles are eaten largely for their
pleasing flavor, and are to be classed
as condiments rather than as true
food.
Whatever is eaten to whet the ap-
petite and stimulate the flow Of di-
gestive juices is known as condi-
ment. Horse radish and mustard are
good examples. Condiments are for
the most part aromatic fruits, seeds,
or leaves that have high flavor due
to volatile oils. These oils lose their
strength during cooking. Besides the
two named, peppermint, thyme, sage,
dill, capers and parsley are those
usually added to meat and soups
Spices are continental in nature
and are used to season foods especial
lily those containing sugar. Common
spices are ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg,
mace, cloves and allspice. They are
used whole, or ground in the extract.
1t is much better for young per-
sons, as we'll as for older ones, if they
eat sparingly of highly seasoned food
The continued use Of condiments Gre
ates a habit for them and leaves nc
relish for natural favors, which are
more delicate and more satisfying.
Salt is a food, since certain
