Something to
Think Ab0ut
WORDS OF CHEER
By F. Il. WALKER

IF YOU cannot give frequent, en-
eouraging words Of cheer to your
home-mates and to those with whom
you come in contact during your work
ing hours, it would be better to bride
your tongue and seal your lips.
A rough word roughly spoken pro-
duces nothing but evil and drives
many a sensitive soul to despair 1t
arouses anfmosity and hate, quite the
opposite Of kindly word which awak-
ems slumbering emotions and kindles
a beneficent flame of love.
1t may at times. especially when
you are not in pleasant humor,
cost a great effort to launch the cheer
full word. but if you will brush aside
your own turbulent feelings, and send
forth the cheer and sunshine of which
you are capable of doing, you, too,
to your amaZement, will participate
in their delicious sweets and enjoy
the thrill of an unanticipated plea
sure.
From the first moment when you
begin to practice the scattering of
cheering words, the whole atmosphere
around you changes.
The world somehow seems drawn
closer to heaven, and everything and
everybody about you appears brighter
and happier
In reality, there is no change except
in yourself. You have sown happi-
ness and are reaping happiness.
You have flung broadcast the sane
titled blessings and they are return
ing to you from every point of the
compass, filling your soul with joy
unspeakable.
1t is you who are nearer heaven
participating in its delights without
knowing it. growing more loyable as
the years speed by, dim your eye
and whiten your hair.
Old friends turn to you in their
sorrow for comfort.
The boys and girls go out of their
way to meet and greet you.
Even the derelicts have in some
manner heard your praises sung and
respect you.
Their bleary eyes brighten and their
tough old hearts soften when your
name is spoken, in spite of their gen
eraI belief that they are invulnerable
to the gentle touches of kindness.
The greatest workers for the up
lifting of humanity are the little words
of cheer, which, when fifty spoken,
often change beasts to men, spur them
to loftier endeavor and turn theil.

Farmers who produce beef and pork
are always interested in labor pros
poets. If labor is fully employed at
high wages it means a stronger de-
mand for quality foods. Our readers
will be interested in a publication just
released by the Department of Labor
which Is based ON information re-
ceived from labor commissioners of
each state, says Wallace's Farmer
1t seems that in practically every state
in the Union prospects for 1925 are
for full employment of labor at high
wages. 1t is expected everywhere
that the situation in 1925 will be much
better than in 1924, as far as labor
ing men are concerned The commis-
sioners also report briefly concerning
the farmers, saying in almost every
instance that it is almost certain that
the acreage of corn and small grain
will be greatly increased in 1925. 1t
is presumed that this will help to in
crease the shortage of labor and make
high wages more certain.

FACTS OF POULTRY
WORTH REMEMBERING

The poultry producers who do not
give their focks tile run Of the fap,u
have a problem Of yard management
to consider in the handling Of their
flocks. Where the poultry have the
run Of the farm this problem is not
50 important but instead the pro-
Queer has tie problem Of keeping the
ground Immediately adjacent to the
houses in a sanitary condition.
1t has Leen demonstrated in all
classes of live stock that rotation of
pastures is an important means of
lessening disease. This has been rec
ogniZed for many years in the man
agement of sheep and is becoming
more recognized in the handling Of
hogs under the system which is
known as the MCLEAN county sys-
TEN.
In the handling of poultry it is wei
to have double yards SO that one
might rotate g~en crops. The yards
may be s0wn to rye, oats, wheat or
any quick growing crop and while the
fowls are using enc yard the green
feed in the other is getting fresh
start.
If the yards are only on one side
Of the house it is preferable that they
be on the south side in order that the
birds get the benefit of the dry
ground and the warm sun in the early
spring.
I,, p,.fle, IN, =
usually requires from 20 to so square
feet for each bird. If part of the
green feed is supplied in other forms
half Of this amount will be sufficient.
Shade of some type is needed in the
poultry yards. Fruit trees are often
used for this purpose. If trees are
not available then some type of arti-
fetal shade should be supplied.
Select the best eggs for Matching.
Use the mother hen when possible
or hatch early chicks with incubators.
Care for early hatened baby chicks
well.
Feed early baby chicks properly to
give them a good start.

YOUR HEAL I'll
By ANDREW F. CURRIER, M. D.
ULCERS

A N ULCER is simply a sore upon
a the skin or mucous membrane, in
other words, breaking down of the
cells, frequently with only slight ten
dency to get we'll.
In the latter respect ulcers differ
from healthy wounds which begin to
get well almost as soon as they are
formed or made.
Ulcers may be caused by injury, by
burns, and by poor nutrition of the
tissues where they occur.
They may be accompanied with
sloughing or destruction of the tissue,
and perhaps by reabsorption of dead
and poisonous material
They are often attended with
hemorrhage and with great weakness
in consequence of the prolonged dis
charge which comes from them, and
which means waste of tissue without
proper strength for repair
This is particularly the case with
ulcers which attend such diseases as
syphilis and tuberculosis.
Ulcers which accompany these dis
eases are often incurable unless means
are found to cure the diseases which
caused them. The treatment of ulcers
should be constitutional and consist in
building up the general condition; and
also local. which is directed to the sore
itself.
The first will include all necessary
hygienic measures, comfortable and
we'll ventilated housing, sleep, exercise
in the open air, good food, including
an abundance OF milk, and perhaps
such tonics as cod-Iiyer oil quinine,
strychnine and iron
Local treatment Includes cleanliness
and frequent dressing Of the ulcer and
the application of astringent and stim.
ulating substances. especially such
minerals as lead, copper, zinc, mercury
and silver.
In ulcer Of the stomach, a strict diet
is almost imperatiye-that is, the
stomach must be given just as little
work as possible.
Some Of the symptoms Of ulcer OF
the stomach are sharp pain indiges,
ton. loss of appetite and hemorhage
If the ulcer perforates the peritoneal
coat Of the stomach, there may be seri-
Gus hemorrhage and even fatal peri
tonitis.

Sunlight a Panacea for
All Kansas Hen Floc

why use the ultraviolet ray ma
chine or cod-liver oil to stimulate egg
production when Kansas sunlight is so
aVahable?" asks Prof. L. f Payne,
head of the department of poultry hus-
bandry at the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college
Experiments at the college have indi-
Gated that a vital element for egg pro-
duction and for general yigor of poul-
try is provided by sunlight, by the
ultraviolet ray or by the vitamine con-
tanned in cod liver oil, aid that if this
element is lacking improper develop
ment results.
Professor Payne has conducted ex-
periments which Indicate that direct
sunlight is more beneficial than that
which comes through ordinary window
glass. In an experiment contrasting
egg production of pullets grown in az
open house with those grown in S
glass front house the ones grown in
the open house were heavier producers
and had no trouble with colds or mott
ing while those in the glass-front
house suffered from colds and from
