Right Time for Culling
Indifferent Laying Hens

Look for a high death rate among
farm poultry. The culling season,
when the Indifferent layer and all her
sisters should be disposed of to the
best advantage, is at hand. Culling
demonstrations are in order from June
10 January.
Nine hundred and eighty-sIx demon
STATIONS were put on In rs counties OF
Minnesota last season. Three thou
sand eight hundred and ~thirty-eight
focks, totalIng 313.557 birds, were
culled; 10O,932 birds, or practically
one-third, were discarded as unprodt-
able. (
ut Is evident from these figures"
says N. E. Chapman, poultry special
list with the agricultural extension
division of the university. that about
one-third of the farm focks should
be culled. and this cull1g should be-
gin as soon as the hens begin to mott.
Early molters having small combs and
wattIes and yellow legs Of the Amer-
can and Mediterranean breeds are the
ones that should be discarded. Such
fowls may be consumed Immediately,
canned for future use Or put on the
market. This will give the remainder
Of the flock more room and q better
chance all around. Sale OF the on
layers will provide a fund for the pur-
chase OF feed for the growing stock"

As ducks are rather hardy birds
they do not require more than ordina-

is a custom to place them In low-built
houses on a range, where they Will

houses should be placed on ground
that has sufficient slope to drain 1t at
all times of the year. The floors OF
houses for ducks should preferably be
of sandy soil.
The ground composing the floor Of
the houses should be dug out to the
depth of SIX inches each spring and
fall, and replaced with fresh soil. The
floor should be kept continually COW
cred with q litter Of dry straw on
which the ducks can roost or rest at
night. This litter should be taken out
frequently and dried In the sun, and
whenever Ii becomes filthy Ii should
be removed, the floor carefully

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney OF bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irri-
table and maybe respondent; it makes
any one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
tons.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root the great kidney, liver
