VIGOROUS HEN FOR BREEDING
Fowl That Lays Well All Winter Unfit
for That Purpose-Chicks
Not Strong.

The old hens I use for breeders are
selected early in the winter months
and penned to themselves. In select
ing hens for breeders, the first point
consider is vigor. A hen that does not
show an appearance of vigor is re-
jected, no matter how many fancy
points she scores.
The old hens are fed maintenance
ration-that is, a ration that will keep
them well nOurished without unduly
stimulating egg production. My ex-
perience is that a hen that lays well
all winter is unfit for the breeding
pen, says a writer in an exchange.
Her eggs will not usually run high in
fertility, and the chicks that hatch will
not be strong. The reason for this is
that heavy egg production is weaken
ing, and that the hen cannot impart
to her offspring a strong, vigorous con-
stitutiOn when she herself is in a
weakened condition.
A month before eggs are wanted for
Matching I gradually work the hens
back to a laying ration. Beef scrap is
added to the mash and the ration is
made less bulky in character. Ny ex-
perience is that when these hens dc
commence laying, they lay much bet.
ter than the ones that laid we'll all
winter. And they are much less likely
to go brOOdy at the time when eggs
are especially wanted for breeding.

ADVANTAGES OF FARM MULE
VIII Take Better Care of Himself
Than Horse-AIso Less Subject
70 Digestive Disorders.

The mule has certain decided adj
Vantages as a work animal. For the
man who does not know how or is IN
willing to give his horses a reason
able amount of care, the mule is the
better animal, because he will take
better care of himself than will the
horse.
The mule is naturally more able to
stand hot weather than is the horse.
He will slow down when the work be-
comes hard aD6 the weather hot,
whereas a horse will begin to fret,
and thus will be even more likely to
become overheated. Hence, a mule is
safer in the hands of a careless or in
competent driver.
The mule requires less grain and
will readily consume more roughage
than will a workhorse doing the same
amount of work. The mule is less
subject to digestive disorders.
Another important consideration is
that q mule does not depreciate in
value so much from age and hard
usage as does q horse.

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says ''Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DIR. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

Get New Kidneys

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they

One of the first warnings Is pain or stiff
ness IN the lower part of the back; highly
colOred urine; loss of appetite; indiges-
ton; irritation, or even stone IN the bad
der. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease, Tor which there
is said to be no cure
Do not delay a minute. At the first in
dication of trouble IN the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start taking

Back to MeadowIands!

must go forth to the fields again
Where the meadow grass is rife,
And all ask is some calmneSS
And a little ease from strife.
And a colts neigh, and the winds song,
And the grass blades shaking,
And a low note from a birds throat,
And pink dawn breaking
Wherein the versemaker, in other
years and out of the desire OF his
heart, pretty accurately outlined the
program for American farmers in the
good, peaceful year of 1919. The strife
is passed. The calmness is come. And
now the call is for a return to grass
meadows and pasture lots and live
stock.
In the years of strife and stress
many farmers plowed up permanent
pastures and meadows and devoted
them to grain crops TO meet the worlds
need for bread. Now that farming is
to be restored to a peace-time basis,
the United States department Of agri-
culture says it seems wise that many
Of these lands be reseeded to grass.
The signing of the arlnistice found
the United States well supplied with
foods, but comparatively short on
feeds, but with an urgent demand for
meat animals, in the production OF
which feeds and pasturage are essen
tial.
The department of agriculture, of
course, does not urge abandonment Of
profitable grain farming, but it points
out, in its survey of the 1919 situation,
that the sacrifice of grass lands and
the abandonment of rotation systems
in response to the world demand for
more cereals has resulted in a deple-
ton of fertility which must be restored
by the re-estabIishment of rotations,
pastures, meadows, leguminous crops.

RETURNS FROM TESTING

Testing seed corn for germina-
ton is the least expensive meth
cd Of increasing the yield of
corn per acre.
Without seed testing, all other
means Of increasing the yield
will fall short Of what they
should accomplish.
The testing Of seed corn by
any Of the approved methods is
not difficult.
The time spent in testing seed
corn is likely to be paid for at
the time Of planting and is GER
tain to be paid for MANIFOLD at
harvest.
Corn that appears to be sound
does not always terminate. If
no test is made, considerable
quantities of sound-appearing
corn are likely to be planted only
to rot in the ground. If tested,
this corn would not be planted
and would serve all the purposes
of good feed
A field planted to tested seed
corn requires little or no replant-
ing. All plants have an even
start and develop evenly to
fuller yield than where stunted
replants are present.

Poultry owners who wish to obtain

Birds Matched in March or April will
be well matured in the fall. The rest

TEST SEED CORN
J BEFORE SOWING
War Emergency Taught Farmers
of Country Lesson That viii
Be Useful in Peace.
WORK IN MISSOURI COUNTY
Four Thousand Bushels Rejected From
10000 in One Section-Eeg Crates
With Strawboard Cells
Used for Testing.

No, not a munition factory. Those
cylindrical objects lying in orderly
rows on shelves are not shrapnel, but
ears of corn. The slender flaments
that are being sorted so carefully are
not fuses, but sprouts. The girls so
busily at work before bench or box
are not handling picrates, but seed
corn.
The whole shows graphically how
one agent of the United States de-
partment of agriculture and the Mis-
souri, Agricultural college went about
making sure that the 1918 corn crop
would not fail the cause of world free
dom for lack of viable seed. It is
representative of what many county
agents, the country over, are doing
now, wherever occasion arises, to make
sure that the 1919 crop will not fail
for a like reason.
What One County Saved.
These pictures show the central test
ing station established in February,
| 1918, by the county agent of Living
ston county, Missouri. In this, and in
eight local testing stations scattered
about the county, 1881 bushels of
corn were scar tested before corn
planting time came last spring OF this
corn more than 1000 bushels were
thrown out as being unfit for planting
which means that 1000 bushels of
corn were saved for feed. Otherwise,
it would have rOtted in the ground,
making an equivalent replanting neces-
sary. More than 5000 bushels were
certified as being sure to give a salts
| factory percentage of termination.
In this instance egg crates, with
their little straw-board cells, were used
for testing-a somewhat novel method
/ that has found favor in some localities.
| The kernels TO be tested are planted in
| the pasteboard cells, six grains from
an ear, and a cell to each ear. After
| sufficient time for termination, the
| crates are opened and the ears are
saved for seed or discarded, according
| TO the percentage of termination
shown by the corresponding kernels.
Each ear has a number corresponding
| to that of the cell In which the sample
kernels taken from it are put for ger
mination, so it is easy to make the
| final sorting.
Results Shown in Field.
Over a thousand farmers brought
/ their seed corn to one or another of
the nine testing stations established
in Livingston county last year, and
practically every field planted with
corn thus tested showed a strong
stand.
The corn saved to the country and
the world last summer through such
! testing stations as these viii total mil
lions of bushels. More important, per-

INJURY TO EGGS IN TRANSIT
Much of Damage Is Directly Due to
Faulty Methods of Packing VaIu-
able Foodstuff.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The bureau of chemistry, through
the food research laboratory, has been
assisting in reducing the damage to
eggs in transit by giving practical
demonstrations at shipping points in
loading cars of eggs or mixed eggs
and dressed poultry. Much of the
damage is directly due to faulty meth
DDS of packing eggs in cases and
