FORD & 1leLBOD Clinton Sending chickens to market •which have not been properly fattened is a wasteful prltctice,. The weight of, healthy, well -grown chickens can be in- creased from 20 to 50 per cent. in two weeks by proper feeding. Three lrun, dred and fifty to 400 pounds of mash, moistened with skim -milk or bulk ter -milk, and properly fed to good fowls will produce 100 pounds .of poultry meat lir from 12 to 14 days, Proper feeding of the chickens before marketing improves the quality of the flesh, "Crate -feel" and "mills -fed" are synonomous with "high quality." Cottonseed meal is very rarely used In the rations fed ]lens, Like linseed meal it is a concentrated protein•food and when fed in the ration is liable to give the hens too much vegetable fat and protein for their own good. A hen requires considerable protein in her diet to enable her to lay well, but under natural conditions she obtains this protein in the animal form from the worms and grubs she picks up, therefore' it is advisable to make up this lack of 'protein in the winter ra- tion by the use of beef scraps, green bona or milk. Fowls will keep themselves free from vermin during the winter months if given a convenient place to dust. A box thirty inches square and twelve inches deep may be built in one corner of the pen, or such a box may be made with legs so as to raise it sixteen inches oft, the floe,r�. Al- most any fine dry powder Will make good dusting material. The particles %should be fine enough so that they will choke up the breathing pores of the parasites which live on the fowl's body. Equal parts of loam, sand and sifted coal ashes, to which has been added a little kerosene oil and the whole thoroughly mixed is often used for the dust bath, • Age to Breed Heifers. I have had a number of years of ex- perience in raising and developing dairy heifers, and have found it best not to have them freshen before they are two and a half years of age, says a successful farmer. I have had heifers freshen at from one and a half to three years old, but those calving while young have been hindered con- siderably in their growth and develop- ment and have not made as large cows as those freshening at an older age. I have also seen heifers which drop- ped their first calf at a, year and a half of age mature very satisfactorily and make splendid cows, but they took one to two years longer in maturing. These cases of course are rare.` In freshening at two and a half to three years of age the heifer is more ma- tured, and therefore in condition to milk much better than if younger. Fall Cleanup Kills Insects. . If the remnants of old garden crops are destroyed immediately after har- vest and weeds are kept down along fence rows, injuries by insects and diseases to vegetables next year will be materially lessened. Potato vines •afford shelter for the potato stalk borer over winter, old asparagus shoots for the asparagus beetle, squash vines for the squash borer or weevil, cabbage stumps for the cabbage louse, and so on with the -various insect pests and their hosts. Striped cucumber beetles, squash bugs, onion thrips, onion maggots, stack borers, radish maggots and tarnished plant bugs are also .found in winter retreats in refuse about the garden. The plum curculio, apple flea weevil and leafhoppers and flea beetles of the .grape hide along with the garden pests. Collecting and burning such refuse in the fall kills off many insects and destroys their hibernating quarters. These crop residues may contain im- mature stages or eggs of some species of insects. Often great numbers may be killed•by trap heaps of weeds, chips, hay and rubbish about the garden, un- der which many insects will seek shel- ter. After they have thus congregated ander a heap, set it on lite in late fall or early winter. The organisms of the blights on po- tatoes, peas and celery, of anthrac- nose on cucumbers and beans, of to- mato loaf spots, of onion smut and kindred fungous diseases have been found by botaniststolive over from one year to the next on crop residues. Clean cultivation will check their spread in the garden, FREE TO GIRLS Lovely Big Canadian Doll and Splendid Big Doll Carriage This Doll Is made Jn Can- ada, -Is 15 In- ches high and is fully Joint- ed.

Tea and coffee are generally drunk for the 'pleasure and the sense of well-being they give; yet both these beverages are mostly stimulants, with practically no food value. When a tired woman prefers to food cup after cup of strong tea she is cheered, perhaps exhilarated -yes, times actually inebriated; and this to the jeopardy of nerves and mus- cles. So that her constitution must sooner or later break down, if the tea tippling habit is persisted in. Then is there if case of hysteria for the doctor, possibly evert 0 case of "incompatibility of temper" that has to be dealt with in the dbmestic re- lations court; . In like manner, when a man under stress of business or who is going "the pace that kills" drinks daily anywhere up' to a dozen cups of strong coffee in order to keep up under the unnatural strain, he is, as sure as fate and the tides, going to pay the penalty for his 'in- toxication—for that is what it all amounts to. There are plenty of, other intoxicants in nature besides alcohol. The natural forces of the human body are able' to do normally just so much work; and their ability to do this work is directly in proportion to the energy derived from the food sup- ply taken into the body. A machine is kept going by the fuel in the en- gine; it may be made to go faster by means of bellows, Coal is the fuel; the bellows stimulate the flame. In the man machine, food (meat, vege- tables; cereals) are the fuel; tea, cof- fee, alcohol and like stimulants are the bellows—they are not the fuel. No amount of such stimulants adds to the living tissues (the nerves, mus- cles, organs of the body) ; they mere- ly goad the nerves, the muscles and the organs to undue, unnatural effort, however tired and unwilling those tis- sues may be. When the stimulant is stopped, or, if after a time in spite of the stimulant, the exhausted tis- sues refuse' to do their work, then the weakened body rebels and refuses to work. again untilit has been fully restored—recreated—by rest, sleep, change, fresh air, abundance of nutritious food and, by hygienic. living in general. If these salutary means are not forthcoming, disease perhaps fatal, is inevitable. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Feels Dizzy. I am 54 Years of age and am trou- bled with dizziness: In the morning on rising I have' to hold on to some- thing to- steady myself; and on lying down I seem to lose. control for a moment or so. What can be the cause of my trouble. Answer—With such a symptom at your age one must consider harden- ing of the arteries, of which dizzi- ness is a very frequent symptom. You should be under the care of a good family doctor. Rabic Horse Bites Cow. Sometime ago our cow was bitten on the neck and foreleg by a horse having hydrophobia. But where the cow was bitten there was no wound made in the flesh. We have waited 25 days before using her milk; do you think it is safe for us to use the milk now? Our veterinary told us to wait 21 clays. Answer—By all means use the inilk after 25 days. You were wise to take precautions. And when the skin of animal or man has not been perforated by the bite of a rabic am- oral, the clanger of hydrophobia is slight and certainly after 21 days negligible.

When is manure most valuable, when fresh or after standing some -time? 3. What is a remedy for the zebra caterpillar? 4. Also for wire worms: Answer: -1. Frozen corn, if handled sufficiently early will make a fair quality silage. When the corn is frozen it is best to cut it- at once, or as soon as possible, before the leaves are entirely dried out. Corn cut under such conditions should be put together in large bunches or shocks, so that as little drying out as possible will take place before it is cut up and placed in the silo. If handled in the above way, very little loss will be occasioned. 2. From the stand- point of obtaining the most organic matter, manure is most valuable when it is fresh. From the standpoint of obtaining the most available plant - food, it is most valuable after it has. stood for,some time, provided that the manure is protected from rain and 01100 and sufficiently 'packed so that it will not burn or fire -fang. 3, I do not find any insect catalogued under the name of "zebra caterpillar." I assume from your description that you refer to the army worm. This worm collects in large numbers in meadows and pastures for about two weeks before it begins to migrate The insects hide during the day, but begin feeding about sundown. There are several methods of combatting the ravages of this insect, One is by sowing broadcast a mixture of•bran- mash, mixing about 25 lbs. of bran with 1 lb. of Paris green, and a pint of sorghum or molasses, with enough water to make sort of a. loose paste. The insects eat this. poisonous mash readily. If you can discover where the insects are working in the mea- dow or pasture, have the section of the lied rolled 01' dragged with a log drag. This will kill a great number. In case the attack is under way and ,the army of insects is moving toward a corn or wheat field, have a furrow plowed with the vertical side of the furrow toward the crop. Spread dry straw along this, furrow and sprinkle the straw with kerosene, • As the in- • OUT.

A careful sys- tom of crop rotation should be .estab- lished so that the fleld that 111 infest-. ed with wire Warms•axray be plowed 011 and worked, at least onee in three or four years, This will upset the dwell- ing place of the wire worms and ,should .clear the soil of the pests. The addition *of fertilizers has .been found to control to same extent the attacks of wire worms. Lit.: -1. I have a live -acre field in alfalfa but it looks very thin. it was sown last fall, How can I improve it? 2. Can you suggest a remedy for ox -eye daisy and wild 'mustard? Answer; ---j, It is late to do any- thing on your alfalfa field this fall other than' covering it with a light dressing of strawy manure at the rate of possibly four or five loads to the acre, In the spring I would' advise you to top -dross it with fertilizer at the rate of 200 to 800 lbs. per acre, the fertilizer analyzing at least 2 per cent, ammonia:, and 10 to 12 .per cent, available phosphoric acid. After you have broadcasted this fertilizer over the field, follow it with the har- row, harrowing with the rows of al= falfa, if the alfalfa has been drilled in. The teeth of the harrow should, be set back so as not to drag the young alfalfa plants out of the ground. The cultivation will do them good as will the addition of the available plant- food. 2. I assume that the ox -eye daisies are growing in your alfalfa field. I such is the case, frequent euttingsof the alfalfa should prevent much. seed dropping. It would be well also when fertilizing the field in the spring to scatter some fresh al- falfa seed over the areas where the alfalfa has not grown, or where the daisies have killed it out. If wild mus- tard,appears in the grain fielil,,.the field should be thoroughly disked immedi- ately after the grain is cut, so that the wild mustard seed will have an op- portunity to sprout and the young plants can be killed by the plowing that follows. If the grain field is in- fested with mustard, it should bo sprayed before the plants come to the blossoming stage, using the following solution: Add 76 to 100 lbs. of sulphate of iron to 52 gallons of water. When this is sprayed over the field it will turn the grain a slightly dark color and will kill to a very large extent the mustard plants growing. The grain will quickly recover, while the mustard will die out. If the mus- tard is among the alfalfa crop, I am afraid the spraying with iron sulphate will injure the alfalfa, so that all that can be done would be to have the mus- tard pulled by band, under such condi- tions. LUSITANIA WAS DOOMED Bombs in Hold Would Have Destroyed Her Before Journey's End. The German submarine captain who torpedoed the Lusitania sunk a ship already doomed, according to a state- ment made on October llth at police headquarters in New York by Martin risen,. a German lawyer, editor of a clepartment in the New York Herald. Ilsen has been in the United States twenty years and is still a German subject. He admitted he was connect- ed with three men arrested and charg- ed with conspiracy to plant bombs on ships bound from New York to allied ports in 1915 and early in 1916. Ileen's story indicates that the Lusitania when she left New York carried in her hold nine T.N.T. bombs, timed to go off when the big liner was nearing the coast of Ireland. Con- spirators evidently figured that the Lusitania would travel faster than she dict, for the bombs had not worked when she was torpedoed off Kinsale head, on the south coast of Ireland.

Ilsen told Captain Tummy that ho was in Schimmel's office when news came in that the Lusitania had been sunk by a torpedo, Schimmel, ac- cording to Ilsen, wept, tore his hair, and stamped up and down the room. "The fool!" shouted Schimmel. "He has ruined my work. I had nine 'cigars' planted on the Lusitania and they would have destroyed her before she had reached LiverpooI." A T.N.T. bomb was called by the conspirators a "cigar." This Watch Free., TO ANY BOY This "Railroad King" watoh is an absolutely guaranteed timekeeper. It is stem wind and stens set, nickel case.
