WHAT DOCTOR PIERCE HAS DONE FOR HUMANITY! BY DOCTOR CRIPPS It has always seemed to me that Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y., should be placed near the top when a list of America’s great benefactors is written. He studied and conquered human diseagps to a degree that few realize. Whenever he found a remedy that overcame disease, he at once announced it in the newspapers and told where it could be bought at a small price. He did not follow the usual custom of keeping the ingredients secret, so that the rich only could afford to buy. Savanna, Bl.—“I found the greatest satisfaction in taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It os an excellent medicine to give a woman 9 strength. I have taken the 'Prescription’ during expectancy and afterwards when I was rundown and weak, in both cases it /// proved very beneficial. I was stronger 'j/KuA / XEf'f and healthier after fwOjJ taking this medicine, * and I take pleasure in recommending it. —Mrs. Charles E. Mullin, 1024 N. Main street. Rockford, Hl.—“Last winter I had a severe bronchial cough, which Dr. Pierce a Golden Medical Discovery cured. The relief was so prompt and permanent that I am very enthusiastic in praise of the •Golden Medical Discovery.’ I also had occasion to use Dr. Pierce’s Extract of Smart-Wee'd recently. It was recommended to me very highly to break up a cold when my friends thought I was coming down with the influenza, and it certainly did break up my cold, so that I feel sure it warded off a sick spell. In all my life I have never known any medicine to break up a cold so quickly as Dr. Pierce’s Extract of Smart-Weed.” —Mrs. L. E. Lake, 813 Montague St.

SPROUTED OATS OR CHOPPED ALFALFA FOR CHICKENS SUPERIOR AS GRASS SUBSTITUTE

Sprouted Oats Make a Good “Pinch Hitter for Grass.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Winter greens for the flock is one of the most profitable additions to the poultry bill of fare which the average fIQCk owner can supply. When grass is available, the fowls get plenty of green feed from. rustling about on the open range. With the .coming Of Jack Frost, the pasturage is exhausted and it becomes necessary for the poultryman to provide his hens with some juicy, succulent and nutritious substitute for grass. The variety of green feeds available for winter use is enough to avoid monotony. E’er instance, sprouted oats may be used profitably, although the preparation of this material usually involves some extra care and exertion. Alfalfa meal, which now is available on the market, may be had at prices consistent with the ultimate value of the egg crop, while chopped alfalfa and clover hay also furnish nourishment and succulence at moderate cost. Cabbages are used by many to satisfy appetites craving for green stuff, while mangel-wurzels —which usually have to be grown by the flock owner in his home garden, as it is difficult to secure these beets on the general market —also are keenly relished by the fowls and are well qualified for a place in the winter ration. As a rule cabbages are suspended in the poultry house with pieces of twine which are fastened to nails overhead. The* mangel-wurzels are usually split and stuck on nails o.n the side walls of the pen about a foot above the floor, the plan being to provide the hens with Just as much of this juicy feed as they will clean up with a relish and without waste.

Feeding Fowls Frozen Vegetables. Vegetables which have been frozen can be thawed out and fed to the fowls, but as a rule such blemished materials must be used quickly, as they do not keep well after thawing. Clover and alfalfa may be fed as hay cut into one-quarter or one-half Inch lengths, or they may be purchased and fed in the form of meal. Oats for sprouting are soaked over night in warm water and then are spread out from one-half to one inch thick on specially arranged trays having perforated bottoms, the trays then being put into an oat sprouter. The oats should be watered thoroughly and the trays should be turned around once dally In order to assure even sprouting. During cold weather artificial heat should be supplied by the use of a kerosene lamp or some similar means. It is essential to use a good grade of oats and to allow daily a square Inch of sprouted oat surface to a hen, feeding the sprouted oats on the floor of the poultry house or in the yard. At any time after the sprouts are well started —usually from five to seven days after the grain is placed in the sprouter—this green material is available for feeding to the flock. It is necessary to keep the oat sprouter clean and to spray It occasionally with a disinfectant to prevent the growth of molds. Potatoes and turnips are also satisfactory as a winter feed for the hens, although it Is essential to Cook these root crops before they are suitable for flock use. Clover may also be cut into short lengths, from onefourth to one-half an inch, and placed In a bucket. Then boiling water should be poured over the clover and the ifaaterial should be allowed to stand for two or three hours or over night. When the poulFryman is ready to feed this material to the flock he should first drain off the water and then mix the hay Into the mash, allowing the hay to constitute about one-half the bulk of the feed. Although clover hay Is best adapted for serving to to manner, almost any kind of hay is valuable. The feeder must be careful Dot to supply too much bulky feed to the hens, as these fowls have small crops and cannot handle a great amount of roughage as can cows and other animals which ruminate their feed. Grit Furnishes False Teeth. Grit is essential to toe health of the fowls and to economy in feeding, as It takes the place of teeth in preparIng toe feed for further digestion, and It is required for the proper manipulation of the teed In the gizzard. A box of grit should be provided in every pen or yard, as this material Is an essential part of toe menu. It supplies toe fowls with strong bone and bright plumage. Similarly, toe accessibility to oyster shells or old mortar and fine grayri are also desirable, as these ma-

terials provide the hen with lime, from which egg shells are formed. Plenty of fresh water should always be accessible to the hens. If supplied irregularly they are likely to drink too much at a time. The water should not be exposed to the sun’s rays in summer, nor should it be allowed to freeze in winter. In very frosty weather it 1? often worth while to supply the hens with slightly warm water two or three times a day rather than to permit them to drink ice-cold water. A flock of 50 hens in good laying condition will drink 4 to 6 quarts of water a day. When properly fed, milk makes an excellent winter feed for poultry. In feeding sour milk or buttermilk, however, the feeder must exercise care not to induce digestive disorders. Skim milk is an extremely economical feed. In skimming, the food constituents most valuable for egg production —the nitrogenous substances —are left in the skim milk. Not only does skim milk contain much nutritive .material, but it also carrries it in a form which, as a rule, is easily digested. Skim milk may often be advantageously substituted in part for meat. Milk may be used in preparing soft feed, or it may be given to the fowls to drink in addition to their water.

SEEDING CLOVER IN SPRING

On Account of High Price of Seed, It Is Recommended That Care Be Taken With Seed Bed. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Broadcast clover seed on winter grain may be done at any time in early spring and where the soil is dry enough it may be seeded with a drill. With clover seed as high in price aa it is this year, It will pay to be especially careful about the preparation of the seed bed. When the ground is still wet nothing can be done in the way of harrowing and preparing the seed bed, but wherever the ground gets dry enough to run a spike-tooth harrow across the rows of grain, the seed should be harrowed in. This will not hurt the grain, especially if the teeth of the harrow are slanted backward. Wherever possible it will be advisable to seed with a drill as from two to four pounds less seed per acre will be required. With seed costing not far from 50 cents a pound, a saving of this sort will be an important item ; further than that, a better Stand is usually assured when the seed is drilled, especially when care is taken to see that the seed is put down about one-half inch deep.

TAUGHT HIM MUCH

Homely Philosophy of Great b Benefit to Worried Man. - -,t- ■■ * — - -r;-* "Wrestle With Your Troubles as They Come Along, and Don’t Worry," Is About as Good Advice as Can Be Given. . p ... "We all have our troubles,” said Mr. Goslington. “A very capable young friend of mine who has a somewhat responsible position was bothered by the ways and actions of his subordinates and co-workers and superiors. So he went to a friend of his, an older and higher-up man, for advice and comfort. "The older man smiled over this request. The younger man had always Imagined that the older man in his higher-up place waa free from all worries ; that he could do as he liked and boss things to suit himself, but itow he heard the older man saying, smilingly : “'Good gracious! You think you are the only man that has troubles. You think I have no trouble to bother me. Why, if you should take your troubles and multiply them by about ten you would begin to understand about where I stand in the trouble way. We all have our troubles.’ “Which was of course the simple triith. The man doesn’t live who is absolutely his own boss. Low or high, there is somebody above him or below him or around him to whom he must defer. My young friend had an idea that when he got higher up he would be free, unhampered; that he could do as he liked. But the minute he came to talk with that, older-friend he realized, and never after forgot, that no man in the world is free to do as he likes. This older and high-er-up friend had superiors still over him and men of the same rank and subordinates to wrestle with; he had, as the saying is, troubles of his own.\ “But his talk with the older man was a great relief and comfort tomy young friend just the same. In fact. It seemed somehow to broaden him right away. He smiled as he thought to himself now that he was not the only man in the world with troubles; there were others. And his own burdens seemed lighter as he thought of the loads that other people were carrying. And it helped him a whole lot to realize, as he now did, how his older friend carried his troubles. He put up a good front always. If he was worried or distressed he never showed it. He kept his nerve, he was never upset; in fact, he never let his troubles really worry him, as far as you could see, and he was always considerate of other people and their feelings and ready and able to look at things from other people’s point of view as well as from his own. “As he dwelt upon these things my young friend was helped enormously, and he realized now, of course, that it was these qualities and characteristics that had always attracted h|m to the older man, and he firmly resolved as far as he could to pattern after him, which he has ever since done. “My young friend is now older by a few years than when he had this enlightening experience and he has also advanced considerably since then and he still Is coming along strong. I “ ‘Ever have any troubles, come your way nowadays?’ I said to him the other day. “‘Why, yes,’ he said, right smilingly, T we do have oOT~ltttte'troubles' now and then and we do our level best with them as they come along, but we positively refuse to worry over ’em.’ “And really I think my young friend is coming as near to that as anybody possibly can.”

Addition to Brazil's Wealth.

The commercial life of Para, Brazil, depends so essentially on the marketing of forest products that every effort Is being made to advertise the value of a common native plant called “anhinga.” In the soft beds of mnd that line so many of the state’s sluggish rivers, the plant grows so profusely that an estimated total of 100,000 tons could be exported annually. The anhinga is now known as the raw material from which cellulose Is obtained for the manufacture of linen paper; but recent experiments show that the fibers may be transformed chemically into an artificial cotton fiber, of structure even superior to that of the genuine article. One milt is now busy wit,h this new work, while efforts are being made to adapt abandoned sugar mills to the process.—Popular Mechanics Magazine.

RARE DOUBLES TO MONARCHS

Resemblances, Fancied and Real, Have Given Rise to Some Highly Imaginative Stories. Most monarchs possess at least one double, but so far the double of the present shah of Persia has not been discovered. His grandfather, Nasr-ed-Dln, had a famous double in the person of Edmund Yatee. The resemblance between these two was so striking that Yates’ photographs were sold in Brussels as the shah’s when Nasr-ed-Dln visited that city. However, he never suffered through the possession of a double as another monarch did, if we may credit a theory of Andrew Lang’s. According to that ingenious, historian, Queen Elizabeth and Darnley were doubles. The second husband of Mary Queen of Scots was not, as is generally supposed, blown up in the explosion of Kirk o’ Field, but escaped into England. He then somehow got Elizabeth at his mercy and ultimately secured her throne, posing as the queen to the end of his days. Thanks to the amazing resemblance between the two, the Imposture was not discovered until after Darnley’s death.—Manchester Guardian.

So be tries his best to start a quarrel whenever playtime with Edith arrives. And the explanations for this trouble, which ho offers to his mother are often elaborate. Last Wednesday he had succeeded in making Edith angry. Like a little fury she flew at him and pulled his hair. Then John went home to make the announcement that no longer would he play with this girl. “I can’t —that’s all,” he ended.’ “It’s dangerous for me." • ' His mother smiled. “Oh, I think not,” she comforted. “It Isn’t such a calamity to lose a few hairs.” “Well this is just the beginning,” John returned, “and remember what happened to Samson just on account of a woman.”
