all lice and mites leave them. The tablets
also act az a tonic conditioner. The health
Of the fowls quickly improves, they grow
faster and the egg yield frequently is
doubled. Little chicks that drink freely Of
the water never will be bothered by mites or
lice.
The method is especially recommended for
raisers Of purebred stock, as there is no risk
of soiiing the plumage. The tablets are
warranted to tmpart no flavor or odor to the
eggs and meat. This remarkable conditioner,
egg tonic and lice remedy costs only trifle
and is sold under an absolute guarantee.
The tablets are scientifically prepared, per-
fectly safe, and dissolve readily in water.
Any reader of this paper may try them
without risk. The laboratories producing
Paratabs are so confident of good results
that to introduce them to every poultry
raiser they offer two big 81 packages for
only 81. Send no money, just your name and
address, card will do-to the Paratab
Laborat tories. Dept. $50. HOO Coca Cola
Bldg, Kansas City. MO-, and the two 81
packages, enough for 100 gallons of water,
will be mailed. Pay the postman 81 and
postage on delivery, and If you are not de-
lighted with results in 10 days-if your
chickens are not healthier, laying more
eggs and entirely free from lice and mites
your money will be promptly refunded.
Don't hesitate to accept this trial offer as
you are fully protected by this guarantee.

Play and Relaxation for Country
People

Play and Relaxation for Country
People
The season of picnics and lunch
es is at hand. It does everyone
good to relax. A change of environ
ment or a new piece of work brings
into play and action new senses, pro-
vides the individual often with a
new vision, and has the same effect
on tired humanity as a rest. Many
OF us cannot give up or set aside
our duties and responsibilities when
ever the fancy strikes US, but we
can all have a few hours Of relaxa-
ton from time to time, and this may
do us just as much good as the
holiday. Let us get out in the open
air more. Let US relax and play
more. Industry is a thing to be
: encouraged, but there is a great deal
in the thought that it is good thing
, to work while you work and play

Is easy to see how, as the old nur-
sery rhyme put it, you will always
be happy and gay. I mean this
statement to apply to those who
live in the country and work on the
farms just as much as those who
live in the city and make their liv
ing by selling goods over a coun-
ter.
We Americans are an intensive
people. We use up our nervous en-
ergy at tremendous rate. Most OF
us do not know how to play. Few
OF us can relax when we should
and as often as it is desirable for
the good of our minds and the
healthful re-invigoration Of our
bodies. It is a good thing, there
fore, that the season for outdoor
entertainment has come again. Let
us make the most Of our opportuni.
ties along this line. In this con-
nection outdoor exercise is likely
to result in the development Of
vigorous appetite. So 1t Is interest

should give attention and consider.
alton to the food we shall eat on
such occasions, how it shall be pre-.

Growing Feed for Dairy Cows
M. A. G., Elberton, Ca,
writes: I want to make
enough feed for ten milk COWS
through the winter. What kind
CT crops would you advise me
to plant, and how many acres
to each What is cream worth,
and where can I sell it How
much cream do you get from a
gallon of milk?
dairy COWS you should build a silo.
Should you build the type Of struC-
ture known as everyman's silo, you
can make it out of lumber and other
materials, which are very likely
available on your own farm. You
viii! no doubt have to buy some nails
and employ a carpenter for two or
three days to. help put up the
slaves. A silo like this would last
for a good many years, and we know
it will keep silage effectively. With
one of these structures you could
provide all the roughage needed for
your cows for a period of at least
100 days, or half of the year. You
would need to build a silo big
enough to hold forty to fifty tons
Of silage. This is more than your
COWS will likely need, but you will
have some young stock to maintain
as well.
We would grow sorghum and KAT
fir corn in alternate rows with
which to fill the silo. The yield
per acre of these crops varies from
eight to twelve tons. Six to eight
acres of well-managed land should
provide enough roughage to fill your
sllo. If you have more than you
need you could cure the remainder
as hay. We would grow about ten
acres of cowpeas, so as to have some
supplemental dry roughage to feed
the COWS during the winter season.
Five OF ten pounds of peaVine hay
will prove desirable for this purpose.
You should grow plenty Of corn.
We do not think you can have too
much Of this. One-half the daily
ration of your COWS may be made
up of corn. When they are in a
full flow of milk you will need to
feed about six ponds of corn per
head per day with about three
pounds of bran and three pounds
Of cotton seed meal. AS you will
likely produce some cotton you could
exchange your seed for cotton seed
meal This will leave you only the
bran to buy, and as you will need
only a minimum amount Of this you
can we'll afford to follow our sug-
gestion relative to the purchase of
this concentrate.
Butter fat in sour cream is worth
at the present time about thirty-siS
