She Lost 10 Pounds
of Fat in II Days

During October a woman in Mon

Kruschen Salts lasted almost 4
weeks and during that time lost 10
pounds Of fat-Kruschen is all you
claim for it feel better than I
have for years"
Here's the recipe that banishes fat
and brings into blossom all the nat
ural attractiveness that every woman
possesses.
Every morning take one half tea
spoonful of Kruschen Salts in a glass
of hot water before breakfast.
Be sure and do this every morning
for Its the little daily dose that
takes off the fat."-Don't miss a
morning. The Kruschen habit means
that every particle of poisonous waste
matter and harmful acids and gases
are expelled from the system.
At the same time the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels are toned up and
the pure, fresh blood containing Ma
lures six life-giving salts is carried
to every organ, gland, nerve and fibre
of the body and this is followed by
that Kruschen feeling" of energetic
health and activity that is reflected
in bright eyes, clear skin. cheerful

from any live druggist anywhere in
America with the distinct under
standing that you must be satisned
with results or money back.

Human Deaths From Rat
Poison Are on Decline

At the second annual conference Of
the Eastern Rodent-Cont district,
held in Washington. it was reported
that clippings from thousands of
newspapers throughout America indi-
Gated material decline in the num-
Der of accidental human deaths from
rat poison during 1929.
Since the sales and use of extermi-
majors have not decreased, the confer
ence concluded that the diminishing
death rate is due to the increased,
nationwide use of powdered red
squill. which is unique as an ex-
terminator in that it is deadly to rats
live stock, dogs. cats, poultry and
mice but harmless to humans. and
even baby chicks. 1t Is highly rec
commended by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.

Turkey Business
on Stable Basis

The flock was established by pur-
chasing patching eggs which were in
cubated artiiicially. The young birds
were broOded in special brooder houses
with clean yards until they were about
eight weeks old The investigators
took these precautions to prevent in
festations of the poults by such par
asites as are introduced by adult tur-
keys. When large enough TO range
the young poults were provided with
large fenced lots and inexpensive shell
tiers for roosting.
Modern Improvements.
Modern improvements in mechani-
cal means of Matching and brooding
have done much to develop the turkey
industry" Mr.. Lee says. "Day-old
poults are now produced by CONNER
cial hatcheries and shipped by parcel
post i'm much the same maner as baby
chicks. Artificial brooding has been
of particular value in preventing losses
from blackhead disease which at one
time threatened to destroy the in
dustry."
Research workers have determined
that this disease is caused by a para
site which cannot live long in soil, but
which may be transmitted in the egg
of another parasite, the cecum worm.
The blackhead parasite survives for
long periods in the worm egg. AS
both turkeys and chickens may have
blackhead, usually in chronic form
in mature birds. and as both may also
have cecum worms, prevention OF the
acute. destructive form of blackhead
in young turkeys calls for rearing on

Oats Grown With Wheat
as SuccOtaSh Are Good

There is a very common notion
that oats grown with wheat as
succotash are not good for seed. Just
what the foundation Of this notion
is no one seems to know. There is
nothing in the association of the
wheat with the oats to in any way
disturb it's inheritance and it there
fore is just as good for seed as oats
that have been grown alone. The
for seed lies in thoroughly separat-
ing the wheat and oats so that a
clean crop can be raised.

Agricultural Notes

~
Cows should be removed from the
pasture several hours before milking
if their milk is known TO contain the
off flavor produced by weeds and
plants.
No purchase of vitamin rich feeds
is necessary where the proper amounts
of good alfalfa are fed. say about one
pound to every 100 pounds live weight,
in a balanced ration.
Where milk is sold 1t Is usually
more convenient to cool il at once aft
er milking. II Is true that bacteria
do not begin to increase rapidly i'm
milk till from two to four hours after
milking.
Efficient separators deliver skim
milk that tests below 2 per cent. When
the fat content of skim milk reaches
per cent there is a preventable loss
of three pounds of butterfat in 1000
pounds of skim milk delivered by the
separator.
Make sure that growing heifers
have plenty of fresh. pure water at all
times.
Too rapid drying of ordinary con-
crete removes water that is needed
in the process of setting and weakens
the concrete.
Manure is an ideal grass fertilizer
and increases timothy yields. Man
ured timothy has fewer weeds than
that grown by the use of commercial
fertilizer.
Dairy farmers may help improve the
price of cream by consuming more
butter and dairy products. Temporary
overproduction may be corrected by
selling for slaughter all low producing
and improbable cows.
Wedding and thinning the woodlot
every ten years is the usual practice
followed by farmers who want to de-
velop stand of tall, straight trees
free from decay or rot. To divide the
work up best it is advisable to go over
one-tenth Of the farm woods each
winter.

Horses Nose Runs

Any nasal discharge in the horse
should receive prompt attention, espe-
cially If it is chronic and persistent.
Such discharges may come from a
decayed or liberated molar tooth. or
from CHAMBERS infection. If the trou-
BILE is caused by tooth the discharge
usually is decidedly offensive in odor.
1t may vary from thin watery quail
fly to one that is thick and creamy
but il always is offensive to smell and
persists. 1t Is well to treat the all

Hogging Off Crops

If the soy beans are to mature. and
be ready for hogging off at the same
time as the corn, then the beans must
mature in about the same number Of
days as the corn that is planted, or
else be planted at time when they
will mature with the corn. Thus II
the soy beans mature earlier than the
corn, they should be planted later,
and IL the soy beans are of a later
variety, then they would have to be
planted earlier to get ripe at the same
time as the corn.
