WHITE LEGHORNS FOR EGGS Good Strain of Breed With Good Care and Fed Ration Given Here with Will Prove Profitable. (By J. H. ELSTON. Caldwell, Idaho.) The man or woman who has de cided to go into the poultry business will make no mistake in selecting the Single Comb White Leghorn, es pecially if he wishes to follow the branch devoted to egg farming, with the sale of breeding stock and eggs for hatching. There is a decided difference in .White Leghorns. Those that are line-bred for exhibition purposes only, are seldom the large, hardy, persist ent layers as those selected and bred for egg production, but standard qualifications need not and should not be neglected even if our aim is a greater production of eggs. In securing eggs when prices are high, the housing and feeding plays an important part. We should have good warm houses with plenty of fresh air, with plenty of room for exercise, as a busy hen is the one that fills the egg basket. They are inex pensive, three sides and roof covered Prize Winning White Leghorn Cock. "with prepared roofing which makes them wind and rain proof. The eouth side has a curtain front, the ryrtRjp bqjng r?nfifld on!/ PU. ?old Sights. In winter I feed grain morning and night scattered in a heavy straw lit ter on the floor. The exercise of scratching for the grain in early morning warms the birds and they are hungry and in good shape for a dinner of the warm mash. The mash has for a base alfalfa, chopped fine and steamed; with this 1B mired wheat bran, ground oats, wheat and cjrn to which is added meat meal, whenever possible milk is also added. About twice a week boiled potatoes ?re used In place of the alfalfa. If one has a good strain of White Leghorns with proper care and fed the above ration they should have a good supply of winter eggs. CULLING MAKES FINE FOWLS Runts and Deformed Birds Should Be Disposed of Immediately to Make Room for Good Ones. The first great secret in the pro duction of fine poultry is severe cul ling. As soon as you can distinguish between the good and tho bad, com mence the culling process. The runts and the deformed, the off-colored and the disqualified, should be at once dis posed of, so that the room and feed may not be appropriated by them to the detriment of the good ones. Select fowls of good size, proper color and correct formation. If the backs, keels, legs or toes of any are crooked or deformed, thrown them out for the table on the market. If there are any scrubs, small or feeble ones, it is best to end their existence. When you cull, cull closely, and re tain only such specimens as are rea sonably sure to grow right. It is only by such systems of severe culling that one can ever hope to breed rea sonably uniform specimens of fancy poultry. Spread of Contagion. Drinking water in poultry houses is one cause of the rapid spread of contagious diseases, such as roup. An affected hen when she places her beak in the water 'o get a drink, contami nates all the water. Then, when healthy heu? drink from this water supply they become exposed to what ever disease the sick hen has. Thus, when one fowl contracts a contagi ous disease it generally is but a com? paratively short time until there is a general outbreak of the affection, un less precautions are taken. Prevention Is Cheapest. Eradicating a contagious disease from a poultry flock is a tedious and costly process. The best way ls to prevent the outbreak in the flrst place by keeping the buildings clean and sanitary. When a fowl gets sick, if it ls cot killed it should be isolated and the reinaindi r of the flock closely watched for sigila of further troubla? PR OFKSS T O NT A J DR. J. S.

Many cases of typhoid fever, appendicitis and other severe dis eases are trace able to prolonged clogging of the bowels. Regard the effects of constipation, C. E. Ayers, 6 Sabin St., Montpelier, Vt, says: "I was afflicted with constipation and biliousness for years, and at times became so bad I would become unconscious. I have been found in that condition many times. Physi, ?ans did not seem to he able to do mo any good. I would become weak md for days at a time could do no worK. Not long ago I got a box of Dr. Mile.;' Laxative Tablets, and after using them found I had never tried anything that acted in such a mild and effective manner. I believe I have at last found the remedy that suits my case." Thousands of people are sufferers from habitual constipation and while possibly realizing something of the danger of this condition, yet neglect too long to employ proper curative measures until serious ill ness ofter results. The advice of all physicians is, "keep your bowels clean," and it's good advice. Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets are sold by all druggists, at 25 cents a box containing 25 doses. If not found satisfactory, your money is returned. ? MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart. Ind. Chronic Stomach Trouble Cured. There is nothing more discourag ing than a chronic disorder of the stomach.
