East Nashville, Tenn The effic

vouched for by Mr.. w. N. Parsons, q
grocer Of this city. 'It Is without
doubt the best liver medicine, and !

It. I take It for sour stomach, head
ache, bad liver, indigestion, and all
other troubles that are the result of

and can and do highly recommend It
to every one. I won't go to bed with

claims to do. 4 can't say enough for
It."
Many other men and women through
out the country have found Black
Draught just as Mr. Parsons describes
valuable in regulating the liver to
It's normal functions. and IA cleansing
the bowels Of impurities.

College Of Agriculture
Furnishes Good Advice

Roosters are causing Kentucky
farmers an annual loss of $950,000
in the form of fertile eggs, which
spoil rapidly during the summer
months and are therefore discrim-
mated against on the market, ac
cording to a statement issued by
the Poultry Department of the Col
lege of Agriculture in connection
with Rooster Week" which will be
held May % to %. Losses in eggs
last year in the state we're estimated
to be $1,500,000. This was a total
loss on all eggs spoiled or graded
below "firsts" by produce houses.
BOOSTERS running in farm flocks and
causing fertile eggs are responsible
for the largest single part in this
loss, specialists in the department
stated.
Fertile eggs are unfit for food
after "a hours in warm weather, ac-
cording to the announcement made.
An egg does not need to be placed in
an incubator or under hen in order
to be spoiled as summer weather will
cause chick development.
In connection with the campaign to
kill, sell or confine all roosters dur
ing the summer months, farmers will
be shown the need for killing all old
roosters early in May and young
roosters just as soon as they reach
the frying stage. To further insure
the production of infertile eggs,
farmers will also be shown the i'm

Good Care Of Trees to
Offset Losses in Fruit


In spite Of the fact that freezing
has ruined the possibilities for a
heavy fruit crop in many Kentucky /
orchards, farmers can partially off
set the losses which may be sus-
tanned by giving their orchards spe-
cial care and attention during the
coming summer, thereby encouraging
heavy production next year, ac-
cording to specialists from the horti-
cultural department of the College
Of Agriculture.
Pruning is one of the surest means
Of increasing crop production in
many Kentucky orchards, the spe-
cialists state, and in order to help
farmers in this work a special cir
cular No. 90, has been published and
is being issued by the college. The
publication is complete guide on
pruning old trees and care of young
ones and in addition to a number of
general principles, contains all sug-
gestions necessary in training and
pruning apple, peach, plum, pear
and sour cherry trees. It is also we'll
Illustrated and contains a number of
pictures showing where and how to
make the pruning cuts and points to
be guarded against in removing the
branches and fruit spurs.
According to the circular, heavy
pruning of the apple tree each year
is to be guarded against, since such
a practice results in an undersized
tree with leafy branches and few
fruit spurs. A number of principles
are outlined to be followed in prun-
ing apple trees. Suggestions are arso
given about care of such trees when
they are taken from the nursery and
tn attention which should be given
them when they are one and two
years old.
The pruning of old apple trees
should largely consist of correcting
the crowded conditions Of the lower
part of the tree by the removal of
old branches especially those which
contain old wornout fruit spurs.
Pear trees should be pruned prac-
tically the same as apple trees with
the exception that the pruning be
less severe since trees Of this kind
are smaller and usually grow more
slowly.
Considerable space is given in the
circular to the care of peach trees,
methods being outlined from the
standpoint of the young tree, the
two and three year-old tree and the
bearing and neglected tree.
Plum trees should receive much
the same kind of pruning as that
given peach trees while cherry trees
are best pruned when they are
young.
The circular may be obtained free
by writing the Experiment Station,
