'Iho heavy rains this fall have totally ruined crops In somo localities, and lis ef fects Bre now being seen In discuses among farm animals. Almost evtry day cases of roup, swelled houl and n distemper very disastrous among poultry are nported. A patt of this Is also duo to Improper feeding. Many persons think as soon as cold weathor comes on, they must begin to feed heating food to their hens, like cornmcal &c. The result of this course, Is If they do uot break down from thc;dlsenso provalcnt, they soon get very fnt, look flno and peoplo wonder why they do not lay. You cannot mako a ben lay when everything you gtvo her Is being transformed Into fat, and leaving the foundation of dlscnso same as an over fed child or person. Alfred T. Johnson Hamp ton, N.

Ing hens wh'ch began to drop nnd die; I changed their tood nnd began using Sheri dan s Powder, in threo weeks they wero nearly well, and bad Increased tho eggs sixteen a day. I have just bought six cans of it, as a preventative of disease tho com ing winter. It can't be bent, for that largo cin saved me $40 last year." Mrs. E. B. Carllu, Conklln Centre, N.

My neighbors nic getting In. tercstcd in Sheridan's Powder; but they do not use half enough; one or two small packs is not a fair test. I snail send soon for six cans as I get It cheaper. During an eight weeks trlal.using Sheridan's Powder I got from forty hens, 1707 eggs." I. S.
