GET RID OF YOUR
UNPROFITABLE HENS

Lexington, Ky.-Experience has
demonstrated that it is possible to
Gull out the non-laying hen, sell
her and thereby, save the feed that
she would consume and at the
same time secure practically as
many eggs from the fowls remain
ing. Farmers are urged to go over
their fiocks of chickens sometime
during August, September or Oct
ober and Gull out the hens that
have already shed their feathers. as
they are not the hens that will lay
the most eggs during he year. 1t
has been found that as many as Is
per cent of the flock can be eliminat
ed in this way and the farmer will
still get as many eggs from the re-
naming S5 per cent, in the mean
time, save the feed that these
boarder hens would consume. Cir
cular No. IA has just been issued
by the College of Agriculture CIV
ing full particulars for this culling
work. This circular can be secured
by simply writing post card to
the College of Agriculture, Lexing-
ton, Ky.

THE WOOL SITUATION
The main facts bearing on the
present wool market are

The main facts bearing on the
present wool market are
First: Money stringency.
Second: Difficulties in transport
tation both of raw woods to the
mills and finished products to the
retailers.
According to the Bureau of Mar
kets the mills of the Unied States
consumed 66,900.000 pounds of
wool during April, 1920 as COM
pared with 45,OOO,OOO during the
corresponding month last year.
There is no over supply of fine
woods and prices for these grades
should be as high as last year.
Farm Bureau in Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana, Wisconsin and Minnesota
are shipping their wool to the Ma
tonal Wool Warehouse and Storage
Company at Chicago, Ills, and they
propose to hold their wool until
they receive a fair price. Thanks
to the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton. the Federal Reserve Bank
has made definite plans for financ-
ing wool growers who want to hold
tteir wool.
If any Farm Bureau in Ken
lucky wants to ship their wool TO
Chicago, this office will furnish va
with full particulars as to the met
cd of procedure and will explain
how you can obtain loans from YOUR
banks, on this wool, while ia stor-
age at Chicago.

Louisville Woman Tell How
Trutona Helped Her of Ter
ribIe Sudden Suffering
Spells

Louisville, Ky, July 6.-"After
everything else had failed time af-
ter time, and five doctors had given
up my case as hopeless, Trutona
has entirely relieved my troubles,
and I've gained twenty pounds in
the bargain, "says Mrs. Henrietta
Russell, who lives in Louisville at
1O41 South Seventh Street.
"I've suffered for twenty years
with stomach trouble, and lately
with sudden terrible smothering
spells. On several occasions these
spells attacked me while on the
street, and l had to be carried into
a doctors office, or some drug
store, and sent home. Most every
thing 1 ate caused me to be seized
with cramps, which fairly doubled
me up, and I'd have to sit that way
until | vomited, as that was my on
ly means of relief. The doctors
who gave me up, said my only
chance was an operation. Then's
when 1 decided to try Trutona."
Thanks to this wonderful mira
Gle medicine, I'm well and healthy,
today. / think if my stomach were
to be any stronger, it would have
to be made of iron. l have bet
ter appetite than I've ever had, and
I'm eating anything and every
thing. l haven't felt a sign of the
former terrible smothering spells,
since 1 began taking Trutona, and l
go down town, or anywhere, with
out feeling a bit afraid, any more.
You'll always be able to find bot
tie of Trutona in my house from
now on
Trutona's healthful action reaches
every portion Of the body, and per-
forms it's work faithfully and eff
GENTLY. Trutona rebuilds diseased
nerves and tissues, creates healthy
appetite and assists in the assimila-
ton and digestion of the food.
Trutona is sold in Hartford, at
James H. Williams, and in Beaver
Dam, at the Beaver Dam Drug
store. ADVERTISEMENT

desk as the band played "Oh, You
Beautiful DOLL" When the noise
quieted down she began her speech
in a clear distinct voice.
Mrs. Force Parker, California.

Cummings.
Mrs. Parker, who came from Los
Angeles, spoke less than minute
and the delegates. in appreciation Of

seconded by Mrs. Florence T. Cot

TO MAKE THE BROOM LAST

Bore a hole through the broom
handle. near the top, and put a
loop of string through this hole.
Always suspend the broom by this
loop, so that it does not reach the
floor. Nothing Injuries a broom more
quickly than standing upon the
brush. Give a good dipping in hot
soapsuds to tougher the bristles.
Spat dry with the hand and place
in the bright sun crisp. When
sweeping, turn the broom around
frequently. This simple method
will make it wear evenly. Take
light strokes and let the bristles
slide over the floor raher than bang
upon it.-Mrs. Agnes Miller

to look upon them. Everywhere. 1t Is
still the style to have Boys.
Perhaps you are trying to run one or more
BOYS right tits minute. Then you will know
that since the world began they were never
so tremendously important as now. Your
hopes and your aims center on them. You
must deliver them out of Boyhood into
successful Manhood.
Will your sons stay with the land, or will
the will-o-the-wisp of the cities cal them
away? Armies of country Boys, who could
be happiest and most successful on farms,
respond to the artificial glamour of town life
! before they are old enough to know their
own minds. They do not know that the
rewards of country life-in money, health,
and happiness-are far greater. Make them
realize that! Guide the restless ambitions
of your Boys and spare no pains!
Machines have been powerful factor in stem
ming the flow to the cities. Machines Danish
drudgery and make labor interesting; machines
foster the love of mechanics in the Boy; machines
are builders of fortunes.
