ALL WORN OUT?
So Was Mrs. Raser Who Tells Her
Experience.

Are you tired all the time; worm
out night and day? Does your back
ache as if it would break? Do you
suffer dizziness, headaches, rheu umatic
twinges or distressing urinary dis
orders? You have good cause, then, to
be alarmed about your kidneys. Do as
many of your townfolk recommend
Use Doan's Pills-a stimulant diure-
tic to the kidneys, This Douglas case
is convincing:
Mrs. Chas. Raser, 1912 F Ave-, says:
"I don't know of a better kidney
remedy than Doan'S Pills My back
gave me considerable. trouble and
there was a heavy gnawing ache just
over my kidneys. Some days l felt
too tired to work. I had trouble from
my kidneys which We're weak. Doans
Pills benefited me greatly Whenever
my kidneys have troubled me Doans S
have always helped me quickly. -

PURE-BRED DAIRY
SIRES HELP MILK

The value Of using pure-bred dairy
sires h indicated by the high records
made by some grade cows. One OF the
highest testing COWS ever developed
In the Cow Testing Association Of
America was Aggie. Holsteln
grade COW owned by d. W. Huenink
OF Cedar Grove, Wis. who had devel-
oped his herd through COW testing as
sociation work and by the use of pure
bred Holsteln sires. selecting his herd
carefully on the basis Of production
and profits. This COW produced In
- months some 20es2 pounds OF milk
and STA pounds Of fat, equal to
l,022 pounds OF butter.
The reader may ask what proat
such a COW would make over the or
binary COW. According to the ex-
tension service OF the olstein-Frleslan
association the owner OF Aggie re-
cetved s2,180.49 for her milk in five
years sold at butterfat prices. Her feed
cost during that time was 1852 and
her average profit above feed cost was
S245.S5.

w. Henry, a grade Holstein with a rec
ord Of 20.s31 pounds OF milk and 0Si.s
pounds Of butterfat The high COW

association is a Guernsey grade and
the high milk producer Is grade

able herds in the state are grade

High-Testing Milk From
Fat Cows in Experiment

There Is a growing demand on the
part Of consumers for a high-testing
milk. This. says the dairy depart
ment Of the New Jersey College Of
Agri culture. makes Of interest 70 dairy

seem to prove that It is possible to

FARM FLOCK STILL
ILLINOIS SIDE LINE

Although Illinois Is one of the fore.
most states Ia value of poultry and
poultry products, the business is still
considered q side line on most farms
Of the state. according to John Van.
dervort, poultry extension specialist
Of the college Of agriculture. Univcr.
atty Of Illinois. Poultry Is kept to
utilize waste grain and furnish eggs
and poultry for the family. Some profit
Is realized from the average farm
dock. but the income is distributed In
small amounts throughout the year.
The farmer, therefore. often does not
realize how profitable his flock is.
There Is great need for educa.
tionai work to encourage farmers to
adopt better management methods. To
this end, the flock management Is be-
Ing stressed In the poultry extension
work OF the college. A definite project
is being carried out for the three-fold
purpose OF: ID encouraging bettsr
management methods for farm pou:-
try fiocks In Illinois. (2) encouraging
the keeping OF records as a basis FOR
studying the efficiency OF farm flock
production, go developing leaders
who viii follow improved poultry prae-
ices, as far as practical. In order that
their fiocks may serve as demonstra-
lions Of profitable poultry management
In their respective communities
This flock management project Is
becoming more popular each year.
Groups OF co-operators IN 40 counties
started records at the beginning OF
1925 and It Is expected that similar
records will be kept in nearly fifty
counties In 1926 The record itself is
Of much value to the individual, but II
Is felt that more good will eventually
be derived from the development OF
flock demonstration farms that win
demonstrate better management prac-
tees TO farmers In communities near
these farms
Seventy farm poultry records were
completed In 1924 The average size
flock on their farms was 1888 birds,
the average egg production was fi2
eggs and the average profit was $1.24
u bird. The best one-thlrd Of the farm
docks showed an egg production of
1913 eggs and a profit OF $2.8s a hen
while the poorer one-thlrd Of the
focks showed a production OF 90 eggs
and a loss OF 81 cents a hen. These
records bring out the fact that low
egg production can be an important
factor In causing low profit
Better production can be brought
about by the elimination of hens that /
nave proven to be poor layers and
Dullets that do not give promise OF
laying their board, careful breeding

Jon and BY careful feeding and man

Lack Of Proper Feed

If you own a flock Of Rhode Island
Reds or Barred Rocks that don't seem
to be producing as many eggs as your
nelghbor's Wyandottes or Legborns,
don't make the mistake Of wanting to
raise the same breed as your neigh
Dor. You probably are at fault IN the
care, feed and method Of feeding. II
given proper management your flock
would probably be able to produce as
well as your neighbours. The average
farm flock does not receive the feed
needed for egg production

Time to Caponize

The time Of the year to caponize is
Of little importance as the capon re-

Of the season. However, there are
certain other considerations that are
Of Importance. First In Importance Is
the age and size Of the cOckerei. The
best time to caponlze Is when cock
