Was So Run-Down From Stomach Trouble He Lost Weeks From Work—Tanlac Built Him Up. “Before I began taking Tanlac I only weighed one hundred and twenty pounds and my health was so pooi I had to give up a good job, but I now weigh one hundred and slxtytwo pounds, am .working every day and feel as good as I ever did in my life,” was the remarkable statement made by Charles Wieland, 160 West Vermont street, Indianapolis, Ind. “For two years I had suffered from stomach trouble,” he continued, “after an attack of the 'flu’ was left in a worse shape than ever. Everything I ate disagreed with me and after every meal I would bloat up with gas, and at times I had such awful spells of cramps in my stomach they put me in bed for days at a time. When I started taking Tanlac I had been down for two weeks with one of these attacks. There was always a terrible burning In my stomach, my head ached just about all the time and often I had such dizzy spells I could hardly keep from falling. I could get but little sleep, had dreadful nightsweats, and always got up in the mornings feeling so tired and worn out it was all I could do to dress and drag myself off to work. I lost weight until I was little more than a frame, and finally became so badly run-down and weak, that I just had to give up and quit work entirely. “Well, sir,” the way I began to improve after I started taking Tanlac was simply remarkable. Why, the first bottle I took eased those terrible cramps in my stomach and I could see it was helping me in every way. In a short *while I had a splendid appetite and now I can eat just anything I want without its hurting me a particle. I sleep as sound as a log all night long and always get up feeling simply fine. In fact, I am a well man, full of life and energy, and as I owe it all to Tanlac I never can say too touch for it” Tanlac is sold In Rensselaer by Larsh & Hopkins, and in Remington by Frank L. Peck; in Wheatfield by Simon Fendlg. —Advt

County Agricultural News

Department of Farm Welfare Conducted by County Agent

County Agents Find Tuberculosis in Poultry Flock County agents in certain sections of the middle west report the finding of tuberculosis in some of the chicken flocks in their localities. Il order to locate and check any further outbreaks of the disease they are requesting all farmers whose chickens die without any apparent cause to notify the farm bureau aqd to send In the livers of the dead birds for examination. The disease Is likely to show in this organ most plainly. Tuberculosis of fowls is a chronic, contageous disease, characterized by the development of noduels called tubercles in various organs of the body, but most frequently in the liver, spleen and intestines. It iq readily communicated ' to most species of birds and to several species of mammals, but It is almost impossible to commun.cate the tuberculosis of man, and cattle to fowl. One practical course to take when the disease Is found in the flock in tp kill off the old flock as quickly as possible and to disinfect thoroughly all the houses and runs immediately. Unless disinfection is thorough the new flock is likely to contract the disease when placed in the infected houses and yards. When possible new birds should be placed on new ground. Another method of combating tuberculosis is to dispose of-all hens after the second laying period and to destroy infected fowls as soon as symptoms appear. The eggs of the diseased birds frequently contain the bacilli, experiments prove, and young chicks hatched from such infected eggs are diseased. Fall Army Worm Now that the army worms have disappeared we must not overlook the fact that there might be a fall invasion of them. The U. S. department of agriculture has sent out a warning that the fall army worm has been doing considerable injury in the south and may be expected in the north. Thus provided, the farmer® should keep constant watch over the growing crops and thus be in a position to meet invasions and vanquish the pest before- they have a chance to do serious damage. Every farmer should have at hand Farmers’ Bulletins Nos. 908 and 752, which tells in detail how to control the fall army worm. ' Available Bulletins New available bulletins on the control of the Hessian fly tn Indiana, culling the farm flock and control of the army worm, can be had by applying to the county agent for same.

Culling Demonstrations a Success Prof. A. G. Phillips, chief of the poultry department at Purdue, was here all day Wednesday, Aug. 4, to help the county agent in staging the poultry culling demonstrations at Alfred Duggleby’s and Oscar Hauler’s. Considering the very' busy time for the farmers the demonstrations were well attended. All those present expressed themselves as being very enthusiastic In culling the farm flock. Many ladies since the culling have told me that the demonstrations were very educational and Instructive as well as practical. The forenoon culling demonstration at Alfred Duggleby’s gave many of the ladies and men of Kankakee township a practical knowledge of how to cull their flocks. Out ’of Mrs. Duggleby’s flock of 104 hens, Prof. Phillips found 48 non-layers, or liers, as he calls them. In the afternoon Prof. Phillips culled Mrs. Hauler’s fine flock of 120 pure-bred Barred Plyniouth Rocks, out of which 46 non-laying hens were found. There were 45 ladles and men in attendance at this demonstration and tbby showed unusual enthusiasm In the practical methods of dulMng the farm flock. The professor’s instructions were listened to with keen interest and he stated that he wanted all the ladies and men to familiarize themselves With the methods of locating the boarders or Ilers In their flock. He further stated that In culling the long laying hens could be easily located, ahd that the hens which molted before Sept. 1 were in most cases short layers. ' . Mrs. Duggleby and Mrs. Hauler kept a daily egg record seven days prior to the demonstration and are going to keep the same record for seven days after it in order to make a check on the culling. The results of this data will.be published later. Each township will have similar culling demonstrations in about a week or 10 days. A culling schedule for each township with dates and places of holding same will also appear in print later. For those ladies especially interested in having their flocks culled can secure the county agent’s help providing she invites in six neighbors to witness the culling. Application should be made at once. Prospective Tractor Owners Farmers who are looking forward to buying a tractor this fall should thoroughly study the proposition first as it is a business of its own. With my personal experience at hotne as well as in Jasper county I know it pays to get a good standard make of tractor, especially those that have been tried out and have proven to be worth the buy. There are too many tractor dealers that come into the county and try to make an agent ofit of a farmer in order to sell him a tractor and the next day that same dealer is gone. Such’ deniers you might say are "flies by night.” They sell you the tractor and you might like it for a year or so pad again you might not. But, however the case may be, when the thing goes wrong you have nobody who knows how to fix it at once. Your repairs for same are miles away. Remember one thing, that in a busy season you want

service and that close at home and reliable. So in choosing your tractor be sure that the mechanic and repairs are only a few hours away, for nothing -is made so perfect but what It will need repair or attention at some time. See if I am not right by watching your neighbor Who has had a tractor shipped in from some distant dealer or agent and see how much embarrassment and loss he is put to when the thing goes on the bum. These tractors sooner or later find the junk pile. Buy any of the good machines, price considered. Take the above warning into consideration, keep the machine thoroughly tightened and in a mechanical condition, use the best of oils and success shall be yours. I Demonstration at Remington There will be a poultry culling demonstration at Andrew Nussbaum’s Fairview Poultry farm, one mile south of Remington, Saturday, Aug. 14, at 2 p. m. Mr. Nussbaum has a fine flock of Single Comb White Leghorn chickens and it will be worth your time to come and see these chickens and learn how to cull out your non-laying hens. It pays to learn something which will save and make money for you. Come and learn this art.
