BIRD HOUSE CONTEST
IN THE PUBIC SCHOOLS
Competitive bird house contests in
all the public schools of the state
and especially in the rural schools
are urged by Secretary of Agricul-
ture, Chas E. Patton as a means of
consevation of the song and insect
eating birds of the Commonwealth.
Secretary Patton wants to urge the
interest of the school teachers in the
State in a movement of this kind. In-
sectivorous birds are a splendid help
to agiculture as they aie particularly
valuable in destroying insect life
which infects trees and gardens, not
only on the farms but in the cities.
Secretary Patton suggests that
school teachers make an effort to in-
terest the boys fifteen years old or
under, in competitive bird house con-
tests by trying to secure suitable
prizes from the enterprising newspa-
pers or merchants in their commani-
ty. These prizes can be given for the
best constructed bird houses and to
the owners of the houses that show
the first nestings
The Department of Agriculture will
send each teacher interested, a bul-
Itin describing the construction of
nesting boxes. Prof. Surface is a
great believer in the bird house com-
the ponderous locomotives which the
B. & O. will place on this division in

BUILDS UP “WORN-OUT”
FARM,
Is intelligent farm management
worth while? In Broome County,
New York, a man two years ago,
bought a “worn-out” farm of 95 acres
for $16.32 per acre, and in two years
made it pay 32 percent on the invest-
ment. In addition he increased the
market value of the farm several
times. The purchaser engaged a ten-
ant to live on the farm and work un-
der his direction. The land had been
cropped continuously for a number of
years to hay and buckwheatand as a
result the soil was in poor physical
sondition and lacked productiveness.
The first year the yield of potatoes

fertilizer was relied upon both sea- |
sons to supply plant food.
fertilizer were used in raising buck- |
wheat and oats and the yields raised
materially in the two years. The
owner pastured ten head of young cat- |
tle and renovated an old orchard on
the farm. In addition to the net re-
turns of $694.60 to the owner, the ten-
ant and his family made a comfor-
table living. His share of the field
crops was worth over $500 the second
year, while four cows that were kept
assisted in the support of his family.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com-
pany has advised the Public Service
Commission that it has discontinued
the rule It made last month that it
would not supply cars to mines at
which coal was loaded by wagon in-
stead of by tipple. The ruling
brought many informal protests to-
the commission from the soft coal
regions. The company, in making
the statement, reserved the right to
‘restore ' the rule should conditions
‘change.

Home testimony for Doan’s Kdiney
Pills, published in every locality is of
| itself convincing evidence of merit
, confirmed testimony forms still
stronger evidence. Years ago, a cit-
izen of Meyersdale gratefully ack-
{nowledged the benefit derived from
Doan’s Kidney Pills.The statement is
now confirmed—the proof more con-
viticing. Cases of this kind are plen-
tiful in the work o. NM ‘ns Kidney
Pills—the record is unique.
Samuel Wagner, 208 Market Street
Meyersdale, says : “I had quite a se-
vere attack of lumbago and Theumat-
ic pains. My kidneys were out of or-
der. My back troubled me considera-
bly and any move hurt me. Two
boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills gave ma
relief. They removed lameness and
soreness in my back and made my
kidneys normal. (A statement given
October 18, 1909)
OVER FOUR YEARS LATER, Mr.
Wagner said: “I keep Doan’s Kidney
Pills on hand at all times and use
them occasionally, always getting re-
lief.”
Price 50 c¢c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Wagner has twice publicly
recommended. Foster-Milburn Co.,
