Tell Childless Women What
Lydia EPinkham's Vegetable
Compound Did for Her
Mfflston Wis-" I want to give yon
a word of praise for your wonderful
very fond of children
and for a consider-
able time after we
married I feared 1
would not have any
owing to my weak
condition I segan
taking Lydia E
table Compound and
now I have a nice
strong healthy baby
trirL I can honestly
aay that 1 did not sutler mucn more
when my baby was born than I used to
suffer with my periods before I took
Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound years ago I give all the credit to
your medicine and shall always recom-
mend it very highly " — Mrs II H
Jans8en Millston Wisconsin'
How can women who are weak and
aicklyexpect or hope to become mothers
of healthy children? Their first duty is
to themselves They should overcome
the derangement or debility that ia
dragging them down and strengthen
the entire system as did Mrs Janssen
by taking Lydia IS Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound and then they will be
in a position to give their children the
blessing of a good constitution

(Prepared by the United 8utes Depart-
ment of Acriculture)
Laws against vagrancy have been
long on the statutes of this country
The man who won't work who doesu't
return aoclety something for the priv-
ilege of enjoying the alleged delights
of modern civilization has to go to
Jell and work on the roads or in a
stone quarry for his food and bed
Man may have gained his Idea for this
law from the Industrious honey bees
Tbey have little use for drones
Loudest Cackler May Ba Nonlayer
But a ben may go cackling around
for months or years and never lay an
egg and the owner be none the wiser
unless be keeps up to modern Ideas of
poultry management and culls his
flock occasionally While culling
should be contlnuoua throughout the
year in any well-conducted plant the
best time to emphasise the operation
perhaps is during August and Septem
ber according to the teachings of ex-
perts of the United States Department
of Agriculture That la to say If you
Intend to make' Just one culling In the
year then August or September should
be your date
It Is easier then to moke a close
estimate of the relative value of a ben
as an egg producer and to weed out
the poor producers Hens which show
Indications of laying or are laying and
have not molted usually are the ones
that have been the better layers dur-
ing the entire season and the hen that
lays best during her first year usually
will luy well during the second and
third years She Is the hen to keep
It Is not advisable though to keep
hens of the heavier breeds such as
Plymouth Rocks Rhode Island Reds
end Brahmas beyond their' second
year or of the smaller breeds such
as Leghorns and Aneonas beyond
their third year as they seldom prove
profitable - N
In addition to culling the entire
flock In August and September you
should always watch for hens that are
sick or very thin In flesh or that show
signs of weakness or low vitality
When discovered cull them out at
once It will pny
Keep Only Healthy Hens
Culling properly means using sev-
eral tests all fnlrly accurate If Intel-
ligently and carefully applied For
this reason It Is wise to send for De-
partment Circular 8t which nmv be
had upon application to the Division
of Publications Department of Agri-
culture or enlist the help and advice
of experienced persons near by Brief
ly the hens to cull are those that are
sick weak Inactive locking In vigor
poor eaters with shrunken bard dull
or whitish-colored combs with thick
stilt pelvic bones that are close to-
gether small spread or distance be-
tween rear end of keel and pelvic
bones 'full Arm or hard abdomen
and those that have molted or started
to molt In August or September la
breeds having yellow legs and skin
the discarded hens should also show
yellow or medium-yellow legs yellow
beaks and yellow skin around the
vent ' -
The hens to be kept should be
healthy vigorous active good eat-
ers with plump bright-red combi
large moist vents thin pliable pelvic
bones spread well apart a wide
spread between pelvic bones and rear
end of keel large soft pliable abdo
men and neither molted nor molt
lug In August or September Ia
breeds with yellow legs and skin
the hens you keep should also show
pale or white legs and pale or whits
beaks and vents
As soon as the culling Is finished
sll the hens you have discarded should
be marketed at once It doesn't pny
to keep one Cock birds not wanted
ss breeders should be conned enten
or marketed Immediately Cockerels
saved for breeding should be vigorous
strong active and alert and should
he those thnt have grown most rapid-
ly and developed the best No bird
lacking these qualities -will be a good
breeder
Pullets that sre weak undersized
and poorly developed also should be
eaten canned or marketed as they
will not be profitable prodncers but
no thrifty well-developed pullets
should ever be disposed of In this
way because It Is these pullets when
kept for layers and breeders that will
net the greatest profits
Lata Molten Best for Breeders
The molt probably Is the best and
most easily applied test of production
Hens cease laying completely or !
most entirely during this period The
better producers luy lute In the fall
and therefore molt late Late molters
also molt rapidly as a role while eorly
molters molt slowly Therefore the
advice Is to snve hens which have not
molted by August or are only JuKt be-
ginning lute In September or In Oc
tober and discord Uinse thnt have fin'
Ished molting or are well Into the
molt Hens thnt molt Intent provided
they are otherlwse desirable are the
best to save for breeders
HEAVY PASTURING IS
FAVORED BY EXPERTS
Best Results Are Obtained by
Continuous Grazing
Experiments Conducted at Different
Stations Show That Pastures Are
Being Utilized to One-Half
Their Capacity
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
For every 100 acres of other crops
on farms in the United States say ex-
perts of the United States Department
of Agriculture there are 015 acres of
pasture of which about one-third Is
listed as "Improved pasture" Corn
Is the only crop that exceeds In acre-
age Improved pasture'
Some years ago an ample series of
experiments on typical blue-grass pas-
ture was conducted by the department
co-operatlvcly with the Virginia ex-
periment station These'experlinents
showed clearly thnt henvy pasturing
resulted In twice the returns that light
pasturing as generally practiced gives
Furthermore after heavy pasturing
the pastures were In much better con
dition Alternate grilling sbowed no
advantage over contlnuoua grazing
The results show clearly thnt pastures
In general are being utilised only to
one-bulf their productivity and that
this light pasturing Is to their detri-
ment Comparable results were later
obtained In North Dakota and In Utah
The prejudice against heavy pastur
ing Is due partly to the desire of the
farmer to avoid the possibility of a
shortage of pasture and partly to the
Idea that heavy pasturing la Injurious
to the grass Sacrificing bslf the
value of the pastures la a much more
' eoklly Insurance than a reserve of bay
or allnge and besides die old grass
In humid regions is eaten by animals
only to prevent starvation Over
grazing of a creeping grass that will
Injure the stand Is not possible as
long as there Is sufficient to fill the
snlmnls' stomachs on bunch grasses
it Is quite otherwise as these can b
destroyed by over-grazing
RIGHT TIME TO CUT TIMBER
Disease and Insects Do Not Attack
Wood Out of Doors During
Winter Weather
Timber cut In late fall and winter
seasons more slowly and with less
checking than during the warmer
months and when proper storage or
handling Is Impracticable wluter rut-
ting Is best Fungi and Insects do nt
attack wood out of doors In cold
weather and by the time warm weath-
er arrives the wood Is partly seasoned
and somewhat less susceptible to at-
tack It Is for these reasons that win-
ter cutting Is advantageous and not
on accnuut of smaller amount of mois-
ture or sap in the wood in winter as
the popular bolief bus It There Is
practically no difference In moisture
content of green wood In wluter and
summer
MAKE LITTLE FARM REPAIRS
GEESE QUITE EASILY RAISEO
Kept Generally In 8mall Flocks on
Farms and Purchased by Expert-
eneed Fattensra -
(Prepared br the United States Depart
ment or Asnuuiiurej
There Is a demand usually for young
geese from June to Junuury although
most of them are sold around Thanks-
giving and Chrlstiuus Teu-weeks-old
goslings of the largest breeds of pure
bred geese weigh up to teu pounds
when forced for rapid growth uud
sometimes are protltuhly marketed at
that age as green geese Large cities
containing a foreign population offer
the best markets for geese
Ueese usuully are killed and picked
the same as other kinds of poultry but
are much more dltllcult to pick than
chickens Ueuerally the velua In the
back of the mouth are severed with a
loug-bladed kulfe followed with a
blow on the buck of the heud with a
short club The wings are picked to
the first Joint and the feathers are re
moved from the neck half way to the
bead pulling with the feuthers and not
bock toward the heud The soft plu
feathers and tine down may be re-
moved partly by rubbing the body with
moistened hands or by shaving the
skin
The dry picking of geese Is rather
difficult The most common practice Is
10 scuiu or sienin me goose leumeni
before picking This cau be done over
a wash boiler three-fourths full of
boiling water laying the dead goose
on a burlap sack stretched tightly over
the boiler and steaming first the
breast then tbe back and then each
aide The whole process of steaming
will not take more than two or three
minutes and the goose must be kept
moving to prevent scalding the flesh
The goose la ateumed until the feuth-
ers can be pulled out easily and the
head usually is laid undesj the breast
to keep the breast from scalding After
picking the bird Is singed over an al-
cohol flame the alcohol usually being
burned in shallow tin plates
Auother method for removing the
down Is to sprinkle powdered rosin
over the body of the goose and dip It
Into hot water which melts the rosin
so that It and the down can be rubbed
off easily leaving the body clean
Geese may also be stcumed by scalding
slightly snd wrapping the body tightly
for five minutes or longer In burlap or
cloth to allow the steam to work thor
oughly through the feathers Some
markets prefer dry-picked geese while
la other markets no difference la made
In scalded or dry picked
(eese are raised successfully In nil
parts of the United States but are
most abundant In the South and the
Middle West Slightly more than one-
tenth of the farms In the United States

fact that the first savings bank in
that country if not In the world was

years before any considerable num-

HEARD AND HEEDED APPEAL
Sexton Rather 8polled Effect of Preach

A country negro preacher was
speaking at length to his congrega-

are shrouded In mystery and of which
we know little As he warmed to his
theme he became most eloquent and
frequently repeated the oft-quoted
saying: "More light! Oh for more

Ills surprise may be Imagined
when after one of these utterances
the old sexton who had been dozing
since the beginning of the sermon

additional candles nnd ascending the
pulpit stairs placed them beside the
two already there and In a loud
whisper heurd all over the church ex-

An old man nppealed for charity
from pnsscrshy: "IMty a poor old man
who has missed his calculation"
The strangeness of his cry attracted
an old lady who stopped the uiun uud

"Madam" said he "It's like this

of money nnd nt fifty hnd saved u

ducted as a speclul business on a lurgo

which case the geese are collected
from the general farms usuully over
a large area and fattened for a few
weeks before they are killed
On farms 'where there Is plenty of

raised successfully In small flocks - A
nuturul supply of water Is of course
essentinl The birds are very hardy
both young and old and rarely ore af-
fected by any disease or Insect pest

ONE THING SHE HADN'T LOST
Pupil's Statement of Fact Probably
Gave Musio Teacher Occasion for
Deep Thought
A well-known music teacher In At-
lanta was giving a lesson to a talent
ed but careless pupil and was rapidly
losing all patience with her Finally
at a most complicated part of dif-
ficult piece tlie pupil lifted her hands
from the piano and made a wild dash
for her handkerchief to stop a threat-
ened sneeze It was the lust straw
"Was there ever such a girl!" ex-
claimed the teacher thrusting her own
handkerchief at the offender "You
lose your position you lose your An-
gering you lose your handkerchief—
you lose everything 1"
"Not quite everything" snUI the pu-
pil with a smile ''I haven't lost my
temper"
"Thnts a plucky pedestrian any
how"
"What did lie do?"
"'Dared the man who run over him
to try It nguln"
"Dili the motorist accept the cliul-
lengc?" "No he said U nearly broke his
heait tu puss up a chance like that
but he was on his way to meet a
train" '

people who live in stone houses
