DICE LONG KNOWN TO WORLD
cient Game, According to Records
of Old Writers.

The oldest amusement in the world
Is dice-throwing.
In some form or another, dice have
existed in every period Of history.
They are shown on early Egyptian
monuments, and some dug up at
Thebes recently are exactly similar to
those in use today. They are men
toned in laws regulating games
played in ancient Greece and Rome
and most other countries in Europe.
The invention Of dice is attributed
to Palamedes, one of the heroes who
sailed against Troy, about the year
1914 l.. c., but the use of cubes with
numbered sides for gambling purposes
is probably much earlier.
Frequent passages in the works of
ancient writer's and numerous repre-
sensations in marble and paintings
SHOW how popular dice-playing was
among them.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists ON its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
BE sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper Advertisement.

not only on cheap roughage, pasture,
market, and securing labor at reason
able rates, but also on the quality Of
the animals kept.
Crop land, in itself, is Of little value
unless it is so situated that 1t can be
made to yield profitable returns
through the use Of labor and
machinery. A farm OF 100 acres,
valued at 500 an acre, may be a much
better purchase if practically all Of
the land can be put to some profitable
use, than another farm of 16O acres,
at $50 an acre, of which large areas
are practically useless, owing to
streams, and swamps that cannot be
drained, or rough stony tracts poorly
suited even for pasture.
Another factor is ease Of cultivation.
If the land is very steep or broken il
is not practicable TO use improved
machinery and it is often difficult to
harvest the crops and remove them
from the land by the usual methods.
This is particularly true in loading hay
and grain on steep hills.
The experienced farmer in selecting
a farm generally looks first to the
source and d~ependability of the water
supply. He knows that a farm without
and adequate supply of water is most
undesirable. Attention should be di-
rected to the quality Of the water,
the question of whether the supply is
dependable at all seasons of the year,
and to the cost of obtaining 1t. The
cost of upkeep and supply of water on
a farm is often a big item.

which are partly black, to occur in
practically all strains of this variety,
but this is not a sign Of impure breed
ing. Black spots are also common
occurrences on the ShankS, particularly
in females, but this does % indicate
impurity. There is a decided tendency
for the males Of this variety TO come
lighter in color than the females, and
for this reason breeders are usually
obliged to resort to two separate mat
ings, n for the production Of males
Of standard color and the other for
the production Of females of standard
color. The system of double mating,
OF course, complexities the problem of
producing high-class Barred Plymouth
Rocks
In mating for males Of exhibition
color a male Of about standard color
is used with medium dark females, or
those two or three shades darker
than females OF exhibition color, i'm
which the barring is as distinct and
as narrow as possible. This mating Is
known as The cockerel mating because
it produces a greater percentage of
Standard-cOlored males, while the
females produced are too dark, but
are suitable for continuing this line
OF breeding. In mating for females
of standard color, females Of about the
desired color are used with a medium
light male or one that is two OF three
shades lighter than standard and with
good barring. This Is known As the
pullet mating, because it produces q
greater percentage of females Of the
proper color, while the males are too
light hut good for carrying on this line
Of breeding.
Those who produce standard Barred
Plymouth Rocks, therefore, must have
what amounts to two separate flocks
in order to keep their exhibition birds
uniform. The average farmer however.
does not usually exhibit or sell breed
Ing stock and will still continue to
make a single mating as he has always
done.

Home and Business Inseparable.

The home side of the question must
always be kept in mind, for the farm
home and the farm business are in
s~eparable. The desirable farm from a
business standpoint many times is
found undesirable if it has no social
or community advantages. On the
other hand, desirable living conditions
supplemented by G. successful farm
business.
In selecting a farm ii should be
borne in mind that it requires a farm
business Of considerable size to pro
vide an income that will merely cover
maintenance charges, and that these
charges are relatively larger for small
farms than for large ones. A farm
must be of such a size as to furnish
most Of the supplies needed in the
farmers living, suck as garden and
fruit, and enough income TO pay the
taxes and running expenses. Unless,
however, there is a margin above these
annual maintenance charges nc prog
ress can be made toward accumulat-
ing a surplus.
Another feature which the farm
seeker should see TO is that prospects
for crop yields are more than sufficient
to balance the cost Of production.
Soils Of low fertility are handicapped
some are found to be a positive liability
if it is necessary TO farm them. 1t Is
we'll TO inquire thoroughly into crop
yields, not only those that have been
obtained on the farm itself for a period
Of years but those realized on adjacent
farms.
Equally essential to the success Of
the farm business is high quality Of
the live stock enterprise. To handle
live stock so it will pay for feed, care,
and labor is more than a mere matter
Of management, for ii is dependent
