The Wingham Times, 1913-10-16, Page 3MOAN TIMES, OCTOBER 16 1913 POULTRY NOTES. Often the statement appears: "You ahetan feed a small flock of hens en the Scraps from the table." Itis true that scraps from the table will help to re- duce the food bill, but very few hens can be kept on the scraps from the av- erage table. Do not be misled; it takes plenty of feed to grow poultry. In 100 ordin aryeggs there are twenty- two ounces of lime. This• shows the great need of lime best supplied with crushed oyster shells. These are cheap when bought wholesale, and even if not, they are cheap at most any price, for they prevent soft shelled eggs, that greatly reduce egg eating, Do not think of going into winter quarters without a generous supply of shells. Experiencewith twelve of the lead- ing varieties so far has proved that the Plymouth Rock is the most rapid flesh former, making a good market chicken between three and four months of age, provided the young bird is properly cared for and pushed from time of hatehing. The Wyandottes mature rapidly, making a round, plump market thicken at from four to five months of age. Brahmas do not' take on flesh quickly when growing, but after seven or eight months make a fine large bird. Either of the first two named will be found to make early chickens for the market. While it is not possible to state the exact average production of eggs per hen in one year, it is conservatively estimated in the United States to be about 70. By improved methods of breeding, feeding and selection, birds have been found with actual individual records of 200 to 257 eggs a year. Only one hen has been found, at Cornell, that laid as high as 257 eggs in a year, but this one example of the degree of Ai fection 'to which the breeder's art lartvattained is valuable for the pace it sets for others to follow and surpass. The net profit obtained from the sale of these eggs amounted to $5.06. What is a laying hen? The apparent answer is, "A hen that lays." -On second thought you will concede that the hen that does not lay is a rarity, so we will look for another answer. Be- fore a hen should be entitled to the right of being called a laying hen she should prove her ability to lay enough t fly for her feed and care and to pay ti7e interest and wear and tear on the equipment used in caring for her, plus a profit on the keeper's investment. If a ben can not do this she should not be called a laying hen, even though she does shell out an egg occasionally. Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines - If you want to contribute directly' to the occurence of capillary bronchitis and pneumonia use cough medicines that contain codine, morphine heroin and other sedatives when you have a cough or cold. An expectorant like Chamber- lain's Cough Remedy is whatis needed. That cleans out the culture beds or breeding places for the germs of pneu- monia and other germ diseases. That is why pneumonia never results from a cold when Chamberlain's Cough Rem- edy is used. It has a world wide repu- tation for its cures. It contains no morphine or other sedative.

Of course, says Woman's Home Com- panion, every careful housewife gives her pillows a daily shaking and airing and turns the mattress to a different position, because she knows this not only ensures a comfortable night's rest, but lengthens the wearing qualities of the bedding as well.

Do you take them from the bed and pound them vigorously and then lay them upon the window -sill to air? Well, then, you are not doing it right at all. Why do we give the pillows the daily thorough shake? You will promptly answer. "For sanitary rea- sons and for comfort," Just to. Well; then, let us 'reason it out from a sanitary point of view. You have beg n lying upon the pillow all night and breathing into it the vitiated air from your system. Naturally the feathers near the surface are surcharged with this impure air, and, in case of disease, with dangerous germs, and therefore these feathers require the fresh air. Now, when you pound a pillow and shake it up, you probably are pushing the impregnated feathers into the in- side of the pillow, where they get little or no air at all. Then, when you make up your bed, you will, perhaps, treat your pillow to a few more slaps, thus forcing these same feathers to the surface again, and at night your face will lie upon the same layer of feathers as the previous night. The chances are that you are thus inhaling impurities and endangering your health. Therefore, to gain real sanitary bene- fits from the daily airing, pillows should be thoroughly beaten only after they have been aired. More than that, pillows should never be placed where the sun's rays strike them, as this has a tendency to make the feathers oily. Once a week they should be hung upon the wash -line in a shady spot. If a windy day is selected for this, the airing will be more thorough. By giving pillows this constant at- tention, the feathers will attain a state of sanitation quite in conformity with even the strictest requirements for health and comfort. A Marvellous Escape, "My little boy had a marvellous es- cape," writes P. F. Castiams of Prince Albert, Cape. Hope. "It occurred in the middle of the night. He got a very severe attack of croup. As luck would have it, I had large bottle of Chamber- lain's Cough Remedy in the house. After following the directions for an hour and twenty minutes he was through all danger." Sold by all dealers. Laying a Ghost. For over 30 years, according to the London Chronicle, the occupants of Asfardsby Rectory, in Leices- tershire, were troubled by a ghost. Seemingly the aversion of this ghost was for penple occupying certain rooms in a house to cover themselves with bedclothes, and as an unmistakable • in- dication of his displeasure he was in the rude habit of tearing the blankets and other coverings from harmless sleepers in the middle of the night. The Rev. C. H. Strudwick, Vicar of Whetstone, a neighboring Leicester- shire parish, slept for several nights in the haunted rooms. He relates how on the first occasion he was alarmed in the small hours of the morning by a violent tugging at his bedclothes. He held on as tightly as he could, but all in vain. The ghost won the tug-of- war, and stripped the clothes from the bed while the vicar made haste to throw the light of his candle on the mystery. "All I could see," he said in the course of an interview, "was a heap of disor- dered bedclothes on the floor, There was nothing else to indicate that any- thing unusual had occurred. I Searched the room thoroughly and all was in or- der. The door was locked on the inside HIS BLADDER WAS TERRIBLY INFLAMED BIN PILLS Brought Relief Larder Lake, Ont., March 26t11. "I had been suffering for some time with illy Kidneys and Urine. I was constantly passing water, which was very scanty, sometimes as many as thirty times a day. Each time the pain was something awful, and no rest at night. I heard of your GIN PILLS and decided to give them a trial at once. I sent my eliunf 6o miles to get them and I am pleased to inform you that in Lees than six hours, I felt relief. In two day* tate pain had left me entirely. I took about half a box and today I feel as well as ever and nay kidneys are acting quite natural again." SID CASTLEMAN.

But when the same thing happened the the very next night I was glad to change my room," The sister-in-law of the rector of Asfardbsy subsequently slept in the same room and had the same alarming experience to narrate to a small knot of scared folk in the middle of the night. Eventually the rector, becoming tired of his ghostly visitor, put on a cassock and asurplice, Went into the affect- ed ports of the house and commanded the spirits to• depart "in the name of the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost." "I believe," said the rector in an in- terview, "that my action has been suc- cessful, for we have since seen or heard nothing of the ghost." $100 REWARD, $100, The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure not known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a con- stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in do- ing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its Curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials, Address F,J. CHENEY & Co., Toledo, 0.

Take Hall's Family Pills for constipation Would be Boon to Agriculture, That it will be possible to forecast the earth's weather conditions with something like accuracy at least six months in advance, is the latest an- nouncement of scientists. They have learned that the "solar constant," which is the technical term used to define the quantity of heat radiated by the sun, is not constant at all, but varies according to sun spots and other conditions effecting the solar atmosphere. They have found through experiments extending over a period of years that sun spots appear and disappear with some degree of regularity -have in fact, a certain periodicity -and tnese sun spots influence the amount of heat radiated from the sun and consequently have a direct bearing on terrestrial temperatures and weather conditions. The immense value of such a fore- cast to agriculturists can hardly be estimated. If the spring and summer were to be hot and dry farmers would plant heavily of corn, while if plenty of ram were assured farmers could depend more on their hay crops for fodder, and plant a larger acreage of grain. Advance knowledge of frosts and cold snaps would enable orchardists to be prepared to protect their trees and sometimes would mean a saving of many thousands of dollars. OLD METHODS. [Berton Braley.] There isn't much doubt thats our meth- ods have bettered In matters of schooling of girls and of boys, We're raising our children with freedom unfettered, And giving them scope for their nat- ural joys, And yet while our system is certainly ranking Much higher than any the past ever gave, I firmly believe in the olden time spank- Theiold-fashioned spanking that made us behave. The justly earned spanking, The well -applied spanking, The much-needed spanking, That made us behave! I'm strong for the modern -time efforts at suasion, And "reason" is betterfby far than the rod, But nevertheless there` is sometimes occasion For treading the ways that our an- cestors trod; These up-to-date fashions on which we are banking, Must sometimes be .bolstered by measures more grave; It's then I believe in the old-fashioned spanking, The olden -time spanking that made us behave The genuine spanking. The hard -handed spanking The long -deferred spanking, That made us behave! Concerning Ducks. For a pound of feathers it requires the plucking of ten ducks. It is cruelty to pick live ducks. Ducks should be handled by the neck, never by the legs or wings. Fattening ducks should not be al- lowed bathing water. The best quality of market dukes are white -skinned, Yellow -skinned car- casses do not sell so well, Approaching a pen of ducks at night without a lantern is sure to create a panic. After ten weeks of age the weight of a duck is more apt to decline than increase. Confectioners claim that duck eggs, are superior to hen eggs for their line of goo Is, as it puts glaze to their icing which the latter do not, A breeding duck will cost its owner about two dollars per year f* food. The Results, The season is pretty near ended, the 4eason for swatting the flies; our labors have surely been splendid, and doubtless tier motives were wise. We swatted when drearily sober, we swatted when all lighted up, and now that it's nearly October, 0 say, is there joy in our cup? We killed off the flies by the bushel, aye, millions and millions we slew, and murmured: "The whole measly push'll be ;slain in a season or two." Buoyed up by this hope of achieving, we ewitt- ed and swatted and swote, all oyer the furniture weaving, to capture some bluebottle's goat. And now at the end of September our feet have grown weary and cold; I try, but I cannot re- member when flies were so sassy and bold. They buzz round our heads by the million, and nothing their efforts can foil; they crawl on the panes by the billion, so what have we gained by our toil? They camp on our necks When we're working; and not all our thunders unloosed, and not all our shaking and jerking will drive them away from their roost. They bite and they bill and they borrow, they tickle and tortue and tease, they plow in your person a furrow. they sting like a par- cel of bees. So, what have we gained by our swattin', by toiling until we were blind? Each fly that is dead and forgotten left ten million daughters be- hind. • WALT. MASON. THE PACKING OF FRUIT. Canadian fruits, than which there are none better, are now regarded in the markets of the world at their true worth. Through the operations of the Inspection and Sale Act the packing of Canadian fruit has been greatly improv- ed and development of the trade accel- erated. From time to time since its enactment, as experience has indicated, the Act has been improved in order to more completely encourage and protect the industry. The latest amendment to the Act, which was passed during the past session of Parliament, extends inspection to imported fruit thereby placing it on an equal footing with that grown in Canada. The amendment pro- vides that the Governor -in -Council by regulation may prescribe the pack- ages containing'which must be brand- ed or marks to be used thereon, as well as the methods and places where such branding shall be done. Other minor changes were affected in the Act. For the information of those interes- ted in the fruit' trade there has been is- sued by the Dairy .and Cold Storage Commissioner a :pamphlet designated bulletin No. 40 of the, Dairy and Cold Storage Branch containing the Inspec- tion and Sale Act, Part 9, (the Fruit Marks Act and Fruit Packages) as amended. Copies of this bulletin are available to those who apply for them to the Publications Branch of the De- partment of Agriculture at Ottawa, In Dread of crdup, Every mother dreads croup unless she knows about Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine. Given in fre- quent small doses. at the first indica- tion of trouble,this treatment loosens the cough and affords relief and com- fort.

Taylor, Limited, Woodstock, Ont., has been received and justifies its reputation as Canada's leading sportsman's maga- zine. The cover cut this month is worthy of special comment, depicting as it does "A Madonna of the Marshes," a cow moose and her calf, photographed in their natural habitat. '`Moose, the Swamp Hog of the Canadian Forest" is the leading article, being a study of moose in Henry Braithwaite's country in Central New Brunswick, with photo- graphs of live moose in their natural environment. "When Fortune Smiled in Mooseland" is the story of a big game hunt in Northern Ontario and is brimful c f interest to every sportsman. " 7..e Game Trails of Canada" by S. E. Sang- ster is a resume of the variety and character of game to be found in the different Canadian provinces and in- cludes an estimate of the approximate outlay involved in a big game hunt, for a non-resident, in each of these provin- ces. Other stories there are of out- deor interest and the regular depart- ments are well maintained. Under. Alpine Club of Canada appears the story of the "Cathedral Camp" held this summer in the Canadian Rockies and under The Trap department there is a special write up of the I3th Annual Tournament of the Dominion of Canada Trap Shooting Association.

To increase or maintain the nitrogen and organic matter of the soil is the greatest practical problem in American agriculture, says Hoard's Dairyman. In an hour's time one could spread enough limestone or phosphate on an acre of land to provide for large crops of wheat, corn, oats and clover for I0 or 20 years, while to supply the ni- trogen for the same length of time would require from 20 to 40 tons of clover, or from 80 to 160 tons of farm manure, to be added to the same acre of land, even though one of the four crops harvested secures its nitrogen from the air. For the live stock farmer a five -field system is suggested -a four-year rota- tion of corn, oats and clover being grown on four fields for five years, while the fifth field is kept in alfalfa, the alfalfa field being then brought into rotation and one of the four fields being seeded to alfalfa for another five-year period, and so on. If the crop yields are 50 bushels of corn and oats, two tons of clover and three tons of alfalfa, if the straw and half the cornstalks are used for bedding and all other produce for feed, and if 60 per cent. of the ni- trogen in the g manure is used for the production of crops, then a permanent system is provided for the maintenance of nitrogen. CONSTIPATION Soon Follows if The Liver Is Not Active.
