SEVEN YEARS OF MISERY All Relieved by Lydia E. Pink bam's Vegetable Compound. Sikeston, Mo. - "For seven years I suffered everything. I was i bed for four or five days at a time every "month, and so weak I could hardly walk. I cramped and had backache and head ache, and was so - nervous and weak that I dreaded to -see anyone or have anyone move in the room. The doctors gave me medicine to ease me at those times, and said that I ought to have an operation. I would not listen to that, gnd when a friend of my husband told him about Lydia E. Pinklam's Vege table Compound and what it had done for his wife, I was willing to take it. Now I look the icture of health and feel like it, too. I can do myownhouse work, hoe my garden, and milk a cow. I can entertam company and. enjoy them. I can visit when I choose, and walk as far as any ordinary woman, any day in the month.

"Ever since I can remember we had used coffee three times a day. It hadI a more or less injurious effect upon us all, and I myself suffered almost death from indigestion and nervous ness caused by it. "I know it was that, because whern I would leave it off for a few days I would feel better. But it was hard to give It up, even though I realized how harmful it was to me. "At last I found a perfectly easy way to make the change. Four years ago I abandoned the coffee habit and began to drink Postum, and ,1 also in- 1 fluenced the rest of the family to do the same. Even the children are al towed to drink it freely as they do water. And it has done us all great1 good. "I no longer suffer from indigestion, and my nerves are in admirable tone since I began to use Postum. We1 uever use the old coffee any more.

The Silver Penciled Wyandotte, .al though a very new breed, has made a reputation for itself by its beauty, table and laying qualities, which are attracting the attenthion of the poul try man, says a. writer in an ex change. Good birds are in great de mand, and, in fact, they are hard to get at present, as they are being kept for breeding purposes. Fanciers claim they are very hard to breed. This I will admit to a certain extent, but a good bird can be easily picked out by an expert judge; but this is also the case with many of our other \ < IL Silver Wyandotte. breeds. I think it is safe to say that in a reasonable time this grand breed will be a leading one in the show room. BLACK-HEAD KILLS TURKEYS As There Is No Known Cure, Bird Should Be Killed and Body Cre mated-Cause o.f Disease. By B. F. KAUPP, Pathologist. Colorado Agricultural College.) There has been considerable loss unong turkeys in Colorado this fall Irom black head, or what is scienti 1cally known as Entero-hepatitis. rhe name black head was given be :ause the head is supposed to turn purple when the turkey is attacked )y the disease. This we have found xot always to be true. The name Entero-hepatitis was given on ac :ount of the greater diseased. areas >ccurring in the intestines and liver. The disease is caused by a single :elled animal parasite called Amoeba neleagridis. The germ, or protozoa, s taken into th~e body through the ood, or water, and becomes lodged n the mucous membrane of the cae tum, or blind gut. Here, it produces hickening of the wall, due to in ammnation, and later, ulceration. The iver becomes infected, and the in ected areas, the liver cells, are de troyei In a turkey dead of the isease the liver is enlarged up to nore than twice its normal size. )ver the surface will be noted whit-' sh or yellowish green areas. These -epresent the areas of dead tissue. Treatment.-This consists principal y in preventing the spread of the dis ~ase; when a bird has developed the lisease there is no known cure. The >remises should be as thoroughly :leaned as possible and all rubbish urned. Then,- disinfection, as far as possible, with a five per cent. solu :ion of carbolic acid, or creolin. Sick :urkeys should be isolated and not allowed to run around and spread :he 'germs of the disease, and thus be :he cause of others becoming infected. As there is no known cure for the dis 3ase, the turkey had better be killed and the body cremated. Feed should be given in troughs, rather than thrown on the infected ground, and thus increase the danger of infectioh. I'he watering troughs should be en ?meled so that they can be thoroughly :leaned morning and night. An intes tinal antiseptic should be given in the water. One teaspoonful of dilute hydrochloric acid to each quart of water, or one teaspoonful of the crys :als permangnate of . potash to the ten quart bucket of water, may be piven. Chickens for Early Season. In some sections the faziners have tn excellent opportunity to raise :hickens for the early season, for heir crops do not need much atten ion until after that time and the Ia >or can be made to reap great profits rom the fowls. Retain the best layers or the mothers and if the hens are lot broody, which will probably be he case, use incubators and hatch tucks and chicks in time to reach the ate winter and early spring resorts tnd then hatch out another lot for he spring season.

A practical 'plan for making mov able roosts for the henhouse, given by Norton A. Allison of Kansas, in the Farm and Home, is as follows: Take 2x4s of length wanted for width of roosts, cut notches 18 in. apart 1% in. deep by 1 in. wide and make same as saw horse. Use 1x3s of length wanted for roosts to put in Horse For Roosts. notches. Have two benches for short roosts, more for long, if necessary. These roosts are easily cleaned, cheap. ly built and can be moved very quick. ly if necessary. DESTROYING LICE ON FOWLS By Using Rough Perches and Painting Killer on Top and Bottom Will Prove Effective Cure. (By R. G. WEATHERSTONE.) We have found it much easier to destroy lice and mites when we use 2x4 perches. These are strong and the flat surface will hold quite a quantity of the louse killer,. which is painted on the top and bottom of the perches every few days during the summer. This will usually destroy the lice if it is attended to regularly, but if the hen house is an old one and polluted with lice by all means spray every crack and corner with the liquid lice destroyer. The house should not be closed up tight while the fowls are in it im mediately after using the lice killer, or the fumes will likely injure them. The red mites are one of the worst pests and painting the perches with the liquid louse killer will usually destroy them at the same time. In the day time they may be found on the under side of the perches and under boards and in all cracks and crevices but during the night they come out and sap the lifeblood out of the fowls. PHEASANT FARMING IN WEST Birds in Oregon and Washington More Numerous Than Quail in East or Southern States. The United States department of ag riculture believes pheasants will thrive in certain sections of this count try and is introducing them here' from Pair of Pheasants. China anil other native homes of the bird. Oregon and Washington are well adapted by climate and other en vironments to their production, and pheasants in those states are more numerous than quail in the east and south. Lime is best supplied by giving the fowls access to crushed oyster shells. Filthy milk will usually induce bowel disease among the young chicks. Never forget that poultry requires grit and lime for digesting food and forming egg shells. It is unwise to spend money for bet ter chickens and then give them such poor care that they cannot do well. If a male is not popular with the females in his pen he should be re moved and another bird substituted. Once or twice a year a wagon lcad of small gravel should be hauled from some stream for the fowls to work over. When given with care, one of the best foods for young and growing chicks, and the laying hens too, is sweet milks The maintenance of productiveness and vigor are essentials in poultry keeping, and when both can be real ized the work will pay. The young chicks should have fresh milk only, as sour milk, is suitable only for the adults, being Injurious to all kinds of young animals. Although there may not be any vis ible lice or mites in your poultry house it is a good thing to whitewash it two or three times a year. Feed the hens and provide them with good shelter, but do not try to kep them in a hothouse. Housing them too closely and warmly will soon result in the lowering of vigor and vitality. Getting little chicks well started is fully half the battle. Chicks that made their appearance in February oi early 31arch will need extra attentior, at the time.

BUSTER BUTTS INTO A TREE Binks Falls into the River and Is Drowned, While Muffet Rips Head Off on Tree Trunk-Tangent Theory Clearly Demonstrated. Westboro, Mo.-In hunting on the premises of Ben B. Hurst, near here, J. H. Grandin of Omaha, Neb., demon strated that after running in a circle and attaining a certain degree of speed the dogs will go off on a tan gent and that the going is likely to end fatally. Grandin came down from the city and for a few days made his home with Hurst, devoting the greater por tion of his time to hunting rabbits and squirrels in the timber along the Tarkio river.- On his expeditions to the woods he was accompanied by the Hurst dogs-Buster, a spaniel; Binks, a rat terrier, and Muffett, a shepherd -three as fine rabbit dogs as ever took up the trail in northern Missouri. For a few days the hunting was good, but on the third day the dogs were killed, and the tangent theory was clearly demonstrated. Early in the morning Grandin struck into the woods and soon had a half dozen squirrels slung over his shoulder. Suddenly, close to the river. .C The Fatal Rabbit Chase. a rabbit, was flushed out of a brush pile. It struck off through the timber, following the river, until it came to a huge hollow log on the ground. Into the hollow of the log, which was six feet long, darted the rabbit, closely followed by the three dogs. The cavity was large enough to admit the dogs single-'file. Out of the other end came the rabbit, followed by Buster, Binks and Muffett. In a circle the hunted and. the hunters rushed back into the log. This con tinued for perhaps five mrinutes, each lap increasing in speed, until the pace became furious. It was easily main tained by the rabbit, but at last be came too fast for the dogs, and Bus ter, in the lead, was the first to run off on a tangent. - As he was trying to enter the hole in the logabout the fifteenth time, he missed his bearing and struck the trunk of a tree, six feet away, and was killed. He was closely followed by Binks. The second dog missed the tree, but went over the bank into the river and drowned before Grandin could save him. Muffet, the remain ing dog, made the circle, following the rabbit a few more times, and then col lided with the outer edge of the hol low trunk, ripping off one side oil his head as completely as if it had been cut with a knife. SELF-BURNING LOVE LETTER Novel Contrivance Has Come Intothe Patent Office Which Should Pre vent Scandals and Divorce. Washington.-One unique sugges tion coming to the patent office re cently is for a self-burning letter. Though the commissioners tried to keep the process secret, the story soon leaked out and the suggestion was offered as a defense to the ardent swain who pours forth his soul in en dearing and eloquent correspondence in a breach of promise suit or in the divorce court helps to swell the ali mony and excite popular derision. Love letters have always played a conspicuous part in the affairs of na tions and still more momentous role in the history of hearts, but they generally possess peculiar features that make them "impossible" in cold type. Of course, much depends upon the eyes that read them, but no mat ter how romantic the reader, if the eloquence is not intended particular ly for him or her, the sentiments ap pear "stilted." Hence the advantage f the self-burning'letter. So far as can be learned, however, the "novel -ontrivance" is but a sheet to which a certain brand of very fiat match is ROYALTY AS THE GODFATHER Difficulty in Europe Successfully Over come by the Exercise of Some Diplomzj;y. In the early days of the reign of the late King Leopold of Belgium a sev enth son was born to a Brussels wom an, and when the king heard of it and was told that the boy was the .seventh successive one and that no girl had come to the family, he asked to be the baby's godfather. Ever since then every seventh son born in Brussels has had the same honor, anid the moth ers have received gifts in keeping with their station in life. King Al bert, in carrying out the old adage a short time ago, had some difficulty "because the seventh son was twins," according to the Frankfurter Zeitung. "He could not stand for both boys, be cause that would give the family two Alberts. The remedy was found by Queen Elizabeth, who suggested that her little son, the duke of Brabant, be the godfather of the eighth boy, who consequently received the name of Leopold." BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR GROWTH OF DOPE HABIT Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not Patent Medicines the Cause. New York.-Blame for the prev alence and growth of the morphine habit was placed on the shoulders of physicians, who prescribed the drug, at a meeting of druggists here to night to protest against the recently enacted city ordinance prohibiting the sale at retail of any preparation con taining morphine or its salts except upon a doctor's prescription. The ordinance is aimed primarily at paregoric and at stomach remedies, according to members of the board of health who were instrumental in ob taining its passage. Caswell Mayo, one of the druggists, said he had made a canvass by mail of several sanitariums and the replies convinced him 90 per cent. of the victims of drugs formed the habit as a result of using prescriptions given by physi cians and only 8 per cent. from using proprietary medicines.
