Limberneck is an infliction that is

t is also a result of ptomaine poison
ng. The remedy is turpentine, and
he following is a good treatment:
blix a tablespoonful in an equal
Ltmount of warnm water, and pour into

Capons Pay Best.
A few years ago capons were sel
lomt found on sale except in some
f the more exclusive markets, In
he largest cities. This was largely
>ecause poultry raisers have only in
'ecent years learned that caponiziag
nsures not only a higher price per
>ound for their fowls, but an increase
n weight for each bird. A capon not
nfrequently attains a weight of from
ourteen to sixteen pounds, or prac
Ically twice that of the ordinary
'ooster of the same breed. And with
>ther conditions similar the meat Is
tLways sweeter, always tender and
isually just fat enough to make a
food appeardnce and readily salable
Lt from four to six cents A. pound
Lbovo that of ordinary poultry.
Cor'n and Plymouth Rooks.
A hen should not have - a very
freat quantity of corn. It soon makes
er too fat. This is especially true
f the, larger fdwls. -The Leghorn Is
nore of a runabout and seldom gets
oo far for good laying, but Plymouth
tocks are not to be trusted with too
niuch corn before them.
Narragansett More Popular.
The Narragansett turkey should be
inore popular than it is. It Is slIghtly
smaller than the Bronze, and M very
docile and, stands the 'edrifinutent
better than most other varieties.

The iLr. Nint to keep in view is to
Ilen y c fowls in the shortest
tr.ne Possible. To do this they should
be in a coop or pen, where they can
not take much exercise, for by exer.
cise they work off flesh and keep
down fat. A good way is to confine
them to small, light coops made of
lath or wire netting. These may sit
out in the back yard or barnyard, on
well-drained ground. In case of rain
or damp weather cover them with
oilcloth. Keep the pen dark during
the daytime, except when the fowls
are eating, by throwing a thick cov
ering over the coops, such as old
carpets, blankets or quilts. This will
prevent the fowls from stirring about
between neals. In the morning give
them boiled potatoes, mashed while
hot and thickened with corn meal,
with a little salt and pepper for sea,
son ing.
They should be ted three times a
day, and their bill of fare varied as
much as possible, but with a large
proportion of starchy heat and fat
producing articles. Very little green
stuff should be given them, though
pumpkin or .squash may take the
place of boiled potatoes occasionally.
Fresh bedding should be supplied
frequently, and the coop and spot it
occuiles shouid be kept clean. The
coop should rest on cinders, or on
gravelly or sandy soil, with a bedding
of hay or straw. The coop being
light, it will be easy to move it to
a new place occasionally by a man
getting at each end and lifting it an
inch or so off the ground, gently push
ing the chickens along inside the
coop as it is moved, having prep~ared
the bed of hay on the new place

Nothing gives a chick a worse set

for their laying hens.

whole corn, with plenty of pure wa
ter, grit and charcoal.

'BUSiN'ESS WOMEN - ~~
A Lunch Fit for- a King.
An active and successful young
lady tells her food experience:
"Some years ago I suffered from
nervous prostration, Induced by con
tinuous brain strain and improper *
food, added to a great grief.
"I was ordered to give up my work,
as there was great danger of my mind
failing me altogether. My stomach
was in bad conditIon (nervous dyspep
siar I think now) and when Grape
?4uts food was recommended to me, I
h ad no faith in it. However, I tried
It, and soon there was a marked Im
provement in my condition. .;.ud
"I had been troubled with faint
spells, and had used a stimulant to
revive me. .! round that by eating
Grape-NuTts at huch times I was re
lieved and suffered no bad effectrd
which was a great gain. As to my
other troubles-nervous prostration;
dyspopsia, etc-on the Grape-Nuts diet
they soon disappeared.
"I wish especially to call the atten
tion of office girls to the great benefit
I derived from the use of drape-Nuts
as a noon luncheon. I was thoroughly
tired of cheap restaurants and ordlin
ary lunches, and so made the experi
ment of taking a package of Grape
Nuts food with me, and then slipping
out at noon and getting a nickel's
worth of sweet cream to add to it.
"I found that this simple dish, fin'
Ished off with an apple, peach, orange,.
or a bunch of grapes made a lunch flt
for a king, and one that agreed with
me perfectly.
"I throve so on my Grape-Nuts diet
that I did nret have to give up my work
at all, and in the two years have hadl
only four lost days charged up against
me.
"Let me add that your suggestions
in the little book, 'Road to Weilvilie,'
are, in my opinion, invaluable, espe
cially to women." Name given by
