Building-up for the Spring Attack at
the Front Is a good deal like putting
the body in condition for an Invasion
of the germs of grip pneumonia or
“Spring fever” here at home
At this time of the year most people
suffer from a condition often called
Spring Fever They feel tired worn
out before the day is half thru They
may have frequent headaches and
sometimes “pimply" or pale skin and
white lips The reason for this Is that
during the wintertime shut up with
la doors eating too much meat and
too little green vegetables one heaps
fuel Into the system which Is not burned
up and the clinkers remain to poison
the system — a clogging up of the circu-
lation — with Inactive liver and kidneys

DRAGGING IN EARLY SPRING
Easiest and Beat Method of Read
Maintenance After Read Haa
Been Properly Located
Farmers don’t realize the value of
the drag If It costa $25 or $50 and
was painted np and somebody could
make money by going around selling
drags it would be better For the
farmer would then think be must use
It to get his money out of It Its cheap-
ness and simplicity work against it In
ten years' time when we have had ex-
perience we will find that the drag la
the easiest and beat method of road
maintenance after the road haa been
properly located graded drained and
bridges and culverts put In The drags
In a township are worth many times
as much as the expensive machinery
In the way of graders which the town-
ship usually buys
If you really want a good road this
summer don’t forget the spring drag-
ging If you dragged your roads
smooth la3t fall after the last rain
so that they froze np smooth you
have had good roads all winter If
not you have smoothed them down by
bumping over them and then smoothed
them only in the tracks torturing your
wife your children and yourself sim-
ply because you would not follow our
advice says Wallace’s Farmer
There will always be trouble about
getting the township trustees to drag

the roads at the proper time Surely
we shall soon reach a time when every
farmer will take pride In seeing the
road In front of his farm kept smooth
and hard whether he Is paid for it or
not The best work we get done In
this world the work that counts for
the most Is that which a man does for
love of It and because of his own self-
respect rather than for the money he
may make This Is true of about every-
thing we do The best work Is work
that cannot be paid for In cash but Is
the outward expression of the Inward
life of the man
Let’s get over the Idea that we must
do only what we are paid for doing
and that when we are paid for It It la
all right to do less work for the same
money tor the township or county than
we would do for a neighbor or employ-
er Let’s develop a loyalty to our-
selves to onr farms to the township
to the state that will lead us to do
things because they should be done
and not for the gain we get out of It
not primarily for the pay

ment of Axrloultura)
No one Is In a better position to re-
spond to the present campaign for the
Increased production of poultry On the
farm than the turkey raiser The tur-
key Is a farm bird first and last and
la especially suited to the grain and
stock farms where there la ample rang-
ing ground abounding In auch turkey

sects weed seeds waste grain such

and nuts of such varieties as beech-
nuts chestnuts pecans pine nuts and
acorns On such a farm the present
prices of grain affect the turkey rais-
er but little for with the exception of
what la used at fattening time the feed
consumed Is largely of auch a kind ai

EACH BREED HAS ITS PUCE
All Have Been Made and Developed on
General Principle of Practical
Quality and Value
(Prepared by the United State Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
To the novice In poultry keeping it
often appears that there Is no real
necessity for so many breeds and va-
rieties as have been standardized in
America Further acquaintance with
them however shows that although
color differences are In most cases
made merely to please the eyes of
persons having different preferences
for color the differences In shape and
size which make breed character have
been developed with a view to adapting
each to particular uses or particular
conditions
Leaving ont of consideration the
breeds kept as novelties most of which
originated before Industrial progress
created a large demand for poulfry
products all the standard American
breeds of fowls have been made and
developed on the general principle of
practical quality the foundation of
breed character and value
In harmony with this principle the
common classification of breeds ac-
cording to their place In the general
scheme of poultry production divides
them Into three principal classes name-
ly laying breeds meat breeds that are
not as ready and persistent egg pro-
ducers as the laying breeds and not as
meaty and as easy to fatten as the
meat breeds yet combine In one Indi-
vidual fowl very good laying capacity
with very good table quality
The Leghorn Minorca Andalusian
Ancona and Camplne are well-known
breeds of the laying dassj the Brah-
ma Dorking and Cornish of the meat
class the Plymouth Rock Wyandotte
Rhode Island Red and Orpington of
the general purpose class
CONTENTED FOWLS ARE BEST
Easier to Keep Hen Healthy and to
Reproduce Stock Under Colony
Hout 8ystem
(Prepared by the United State Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
A contented ben la a profitable pos-
session and contentment with the beo
la commensurate with the comfort of
her home Hence henhouse building
should receive more than passing no-
tice from one who would profitably
produce poultry
Hens do not do well In apartments
even semidetached houses are not de-
sirable separated (colony) houses
each with Its own yard give beet all-
around satisfaction
It la easier to keep the birds healthy
and to reproduce the stock under the
colony system If the birds are allowed
free range Breeding stock and espe-
cially growing chickens should have
an abundant range while hens need
solely for the production of market
eggs may be kept on n very small ares
