FARM NOTES, ProFir 1N PouLTRY.—Farmers everywhere must turn their attention toa variety cf crops, and in comes Poultry as one of the littles that heip imwensely if managed correctly, Ona town lot poultry can be raised with profit, but it is on a farm where they have a large f:ee run that they hi and pay best. A poultry raiser who has for the past eight years experiment- ed in crossing and breeding the Lang- shans, white and brown _l.eghorns, ar- tridge Cochin, Buff Cochin, Brahmas and Plymouth Rocks, gives the follow ing experience in feeding laying hens: A flock ef forty-seven Plymouth Rocks and Brahmas were fed on whole corn, in quantities with a range that afforded neither grass nor much if any pickings. The result was from eighteen to twenty eggs per week or an average of less than three eges a day. They were removed to a larger rauge of pas- ture and woodland and the feed re- duced to two quarts of oats, wheat and corn (mixed) a day and boiled potatoes, wheat bran and cracked corn twice a week, shell lime and charcoal were pro- vided in abundance, At the end of the 1st week there was a practical change. Instead of moping around they would scratch in the leaves or feed on the pas- ture all day. The second week they layed 47 e. gs; the third week 137 eggs; the fourth week 224 eggs, Or an average of 32 eggs a day. Corn fattens the fowl while wheat, oats, potatoes and shell lime are rich in egg producing ingred- feut-, It is best possible to keep some s distlrct bree The ecst of keeping is no more, aud the profitsare larger when choice fowl take the place of © ff rall stock. Piymouth Rocks are good fo all purposes. Tiey mature eary and are good winter 1. yersand when crossed with Brahmas make the be t market fowl. if MiLK FEVER, -That excellent vet. erinary authonty, Prof, Law, of Cor- | pell University, avers that milk fever | is not caused by isflammation of the | woinb, but 1s due to a peculiar con- | dition of too concentrated or wilkers and cows troubled with it rich. in good Only good | flesh Peculiar That Hood's Barsaparilla does possess cura tive power Peculiar to Itself is conclusively shown by the wonderful cures it has effected unsurpassed {n the history of medicine, This absolute merit it possesses by reason of the fact that it is prepared by a Combination, Pro. portion and Process Peculiar to Hood's Sasa parilla, known to no other medicine, and by which the full medicinal power of all the ingre- dients used is retained, Hood's Szrsaparilia is a highly concentrated exiract of Sarsaparilla, Dandelion, Mandrake, Dock, Juniper Berries, and other well known vegetable remedies, It Hood's Sarsaparilla has won its way to the leading place among medicines by its own intrinsic, undisputed merit, and has now a larger sale than any other similar preparation in the country Ifyou have never taken Hood's Sarsapariiia, 2 falr trial will convince you of Its exceilsnoee suid merits, Take it this season “I have for a long time been using Hood's Sar- to Itself 1 feel very much indebted to Hood's Barsapa- rilis, for 1 believe it is to the use of this medi cine that 1 owe my present health. In the spring I got so completely run down that I could not eat or sleep, and all the dreaded diseases of life seemed to have a mortgage on my system. Iwas obliged to abandon my work, and after seeking medical treatment and spending over 80 for different preparations, I found myself no better, Then my wife persua- ded me to try a boitle of Hood's Sarsaparilia. Before the first bottle was gone I began to amend. I havs now used two bottles and have The Spring Medicine gained 22 pounds.
