II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
il is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF 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 il
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, q
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, az many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large Q
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmcr's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
90 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutrallzes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles

POUETPYNOTES

Usually hens make better breeders
than pullets.
Heat is a great enemy of eggs. both
fertile and infertile.
Goose eggs can be Matched under
hens Just as well as under geese.
Turkeys range far afield and prey
upon insect forms that escape hens.
Avoid feeding wet mashes In the
summer, for they will oftentimes sour
and turn moldy.
Cracked corn or whole wheat In lin
tied quantity once a day, about noon,
will be ample grain ration for ducks
Hens and chicks lose their feathers
from two principal causes. One is
feather plucking and the other is lice
or mites.
Unless the poultry yards have q suf-
f1cient number of trees to insure pro-
lection from the sun artificial shade
should be provided.
While a finely ground mixed scratch
grain provides exercise for chicks and
A certain amount of nOurishment as

Fish OIL, OIL Of Pine Tar, Oil Of Pen

Many malodorous mixtures, particu-

value as repellents for stable flies, but
In preparing these care should be
taken that they are not made too

are likely to cause overheating and

MAKING ROADS WITH BRAINS
Most Of Heavy Work Incident to High
ways Is Being Done by Machln-
ery-Cost 1s Less

As help is scarce. and increasing
traffic makes good roads necessity,
more and more of the heavy work in
cident to highways is being done BY
machinery.
At one time the work of levelIng and
road building had 10 be done largely
with the pickax In the hands Of work
men. and with shove1s and teams. Now
gasoline engines, motor trucks. and
huge power-propelled cranes do all of
the heavy work. In the pew method
the expense is less than by the old
method, for machinery is always cheap
er than human labor. in that n mate
rial saving Of time is effected.
Good roads are an economy to any
section Of the country, as they permit
produce to be hauled to market Just
when It will bring the most. and prop
erty Is always worth more which bor-
ders well-construc'ed highways. Try
to buy n farm along a concrete road
and you will find the location makes
a big difference in the price asked.

HANDY ARRANGEMENT
FOR RAISING DUCKS
Light, Sandy Soil, on Sloping
Land Is Favored.
Pens, Houses and Yards Should Be
Convenient to One Another-Pond
or Stream Is Advisable for
Breeding Fowls

Duck farms are usually located on
light. sandy soil, generally on sloping
land, where the droppings will leach
freely into the soil, so that the land
keeps sweet and clean. The farm
should have good shipping facilities TO
aid both In shipping products and In
buying supplies. The arrangement OF
the buildings should be planned to
economic labor and to allow for fu-
ture increase of the equipment. The
Incubator cellar should be convenient
to the brooder house. the brooder
house TO the growing house and pens,
md these buildings to the killing
house. The pens in the houses, the
outside yards. and the arrangement
of the buildings should be planned so
TINT the ducks may be easily driven
from house TO house IL desired. The
feed room or house should be centrally
located.
Convenient watering arrangements
are essential where large numbers OF
ducks are kept. as they require large
amount Of drinking water. While
ducks may be kept successfully under
very intensive conditions. 1t Is advis-
able to allow a moderate amount OF
ward space. Double yards, which may
be rotated, and planted to quick-grow-
Ing crops, such as oats. wheat and rye
are good for intensive duck farms.
II is advisable TO have pond or
stream for the breeding ducks, say
poultry specialists Of the United States
department of agriculture, as they
usually give better fertility under
these conditions. although on some
successful duck farms the ducks are
always kept on dry land. The young
green ducks on some farms when nave
a pond are not allowed TO go into the
water except to battle and clean their
feathers before marketing. other
growers, however allow the green
ducks free access to ponds or streams
until they are marketed.

Many factors enter into egg produc-

the United States department of agri-
culture started experiments on the
government poultry farm to determine
the effect Of certain foods on egg pro

experiments. The object of the test

feed was fed twice day. early in the
morning and late i'm the afternoon. \
dry mash was kept in simple open
feed hopper before the hens all the
time
Results OF the Experiments.
The feeding tests were repeated
10 eliminate as far as possible any or
rorS due to the differences in individ
ual birds. All the experiments were
carried through for more than .
year.
One Of the most interesting expert
ments, and one Of widc-rcaChing i'm
pOrtance To the general farmer, proved
the value of feeding meat scrap. or
some product of this nature, tn the
farm flock. Little meat feed. milk.
fish. or any animal protein food is fed
To the poultry flock on the average
farm, and as n result very few eggs
are gathered during the late fall and
winter, when eggs are high priced.
on free range were given mash Of
corn meal, bran and middlingS. and n
scratch mixture of wheat, oats and
corn. This is greater variety Of
grains than is used ny many farmers
for their poultry. With absolutely
free range on land whore there was n
good chance to pick up bugs, green
feed and worms, the birds were able
to add much variety to their diet.
other pens were given the same ra-
ton, but with one pound of commercial
meat scrau added to every four pounds
of the mash.
BIG Fact Brought Out.
Here is the big fact which was
brought out: The flock which had no
meat scrap laid on an average 90 eggs
apiece during the year. This Is more
eggs to the hen than the average farm
flock lays. The pens which received
meat scrap averaged from 125 to $50
eggs apiece.
Meat scrap is not produced on n
farm, and costs more than grain food.
but even at the higher price II pro-
duces eggs several cents dozen
cheaper than where no meat scrap Is
fed. Milk products will give as good
results In increasing egg production In
the winter as meat scrap; but II the
farmer does not have milk to feed, 1t
will pay him to buy commercial meat
scrap or tankage for his flock.
