Ldouard Heriot did not await the end of the war to take such fit- ting measures as would not only es- tablish the Lyons fair, but make it the great fair of Europe. That is his ambition. Lyons being, as he points out, the junction of the great European ways of communication, is ‘ing fowl, whether old or young than -any one variety alone. Oats and corn, -ground; are perhaps the most fatten- ing Buckwheat and ordinary wheat are good food and add variety to the wations but they are not so fattening. -Chickens get tired of one kind of feed, ‘the same as people do, but they thrive -on mixed feed. Skim milk is one of ‘the best articles of diet that can be ;put on the fowl's bill of farc., It is ‘relished, it is healtaful, it 18 nourish- ‘ing and it greatly improves the color, ‘favor and texture of the dressed ‘meat. Among the most rapid gainers for killing purposes are the barred Plymouth Rocks, the Rhode Island Reds and the Wyandottes. Fed on _ "the above rations any of them can be made to gain from a pound to'a pound -and a half in three weeks, possibly less. This is prqi};able feeding. FEED FOWLS DAMAGED GRAIN #¢ Is Essential to Exercise Particular Care That Birds Are Not Ih- ©" ired by Material, (Prepared by the United States Departe ment of Agriculture.) Although it is good management to -allow poultry to rustle about in grain fields and stock yards after the grain crop has been stacked or thrashed, it is essential to exercise particular care that the fowl are not injured by feed- ing on damaged grain. Specialists of ‘the United Statee department of agri- .culture assert that where damaged -grain is fed in limited amounts to the flock which is on free range, the possi- bility of serious injury is reduced to a :minimum. On the other hand, they state that it is advisable not to feed -the damaged grain—and never to use -this material it it is moldy or musty -—in anything but very small amounts where the fowl are closely confined :all the time. There is an inexplain. :able something about the range which the birds have as well as the waste -products which they utilize that ap- -parently keeps them healthy, so that ‘Chickens Having Free Range Utilize Much Waste Product. they are able to handle small amounts «©0f grain which are not too seriously -damaged. It is especially necessary to watch corn and cornmeal, as these feeds are inclined to spoil rather -easily. GREEN BONE GOOD FOR HENS ‘Material Can Often Be Purchased From Local Butcher—Is Substitute for Meat Scrap. (Prepared by the United States Depart. ment of Agriculture.) Green cut bone can often be pur «<hased from the butcher. This ma- terial when procured fresh makes an excellent substitute for beef scrap. T{ should be purchased in small quanti- tles, as it cannot be kept fresh for any length of time and when spoiled may cause severe bowel trouble. It is best fed in a trough not oftener than every other day, allowing about one-half -ounce per bird. Should severe or con- stinued looseness of the bowels follow ‘the feeding of green cut bone it should ‘be discontinued or the quantity re duced. TRAP-NEST ALL LAYING HENS “Tends to Tame Birds, Thereby In. creasing Egg Production and Permits Clear Record. When possible it is advisable to trap-nest the layers for the following reasons: (1) To tame the birds, there- by tending toward increased egg pro- duction. (2) To furnish definite knowl- edge concerning traits and habits of individuals. (3) To furnish the only satisfactory basis for utility or other breeding. (4) To eliminate the non- productive hen. (5) To add mechanical precision to judgment and experience in developing and maintaining the utility of a flock. WHITE BIRDS GAINING FAVOR focks, Orpingtons and Rhode Islands o Coming to Front Fast as Egg. Producers. ° The White Rocks, White Wyan- dottes, White “Reds” ‘or Rliode Island ‘Whites—are fast coming to the front as high egg producers. The dchieve- overshadow all other white birde, éntirely suited to hold the place which Leipsic held in years gone by. At the beginning of October, 1919, the mayor of Lyons had the satisfac- tion of welcoming a number of nota-~ bles come to attend the inaugura- tion of the great fair which has suc- ‘ceeded the brave attempt of the year of war, 1916. Here in Lyons town there assembled the Chinese and Swedish ministers, the syndic of Rome, the burgomaster of Charleroi and- the master of port of Antwerp, and in the animated town could be seen running from the station to the stands a small train loaded with ex- hibits sent by Czecho-Slovakia. It is impossible to see such evidence of pluck and go-aheadness on the part of young and old nations alike with- out feeling convinced that old Eu- rope is not by any manner of means played out yet.—Christian Science Monitor. NO PLACE FOR THE GLUTTON According to Reports, High Living Is Not Being Indulged in in City of Berlin. An advertisement in the Berlin Meggendorfer Blaetter reads: “Canary bird escaped. Return to Barbaressa Strasse 5 and receive reasonable reward. (Not edible.)” And this story also comes from Berlin, where profiles become ex- ceedingly narrow: “Fish and potatoes were served at the restaurant, both in the singu- lar number and the portion miser- ably small. “Nevertheless, my neighbor got a bone in his throat and attracted gen- eral attention with his coughing and groauing. Some persons came to his help, suggesting that he swallow sev- eral pieces of dry bread or a few po- || tatoes. “The waiter ran out and brought four big potatoes. The patient swal- lowed them one after another, poured in his glass of beer.to keep them down, and then he felt better. “When he was about to leave I i | asked how he felt. “‘Oh, it’s nothing, thank you, was the answer, ‘after pulling off the same trick in the next restaurant, I shall get enough.” ”—Journal of the American Medical Association.

Of all the inhabitants of the ocean few are more destructive than the sea-wolf, a kind of dolphin which at- tains, when full grown, a length of 14 feet and a weight of 3,000 pounds. When a mother walrus perceives a sea-wolf it endeavors to throw its cub on an iceberg, if one is near. Falling in this, it gets the c¢ub on top of its head and swims with it above the water. But this is vain. Diving far below, the fish of prey comes up with 4remendous force, striking the frantic mother a terrific blow and jolting the cub off its head into the water. Here it falls an easy victim to the assail- ant and is soon devoured. Birthplace of Inventions. Ericsson began the building of the screw propellers in a bathroom.

DERNHAM GAINS 25 POUNDS Friends and Neighbors Are Congratulating Her On Wonderful Recovery “I have gained twenty-five pounds since taking Tanlac and just feel so fine I want to tell everybody what Tanlac has done for me,” said Mrs. A. Dernham, 182 Farewell Ave., Mil- waukee, in an interview recently. “1 never felt better in my whole life,” continued Mrs. Dernham, ‘‘and as long as I live I'll praise Tanlac. My friends and neighbors are all congratulating me on my wonderful recovery, and I have praised Tanlac so much that numbers of Milwaukee people have alregdy taken the medi- cine on my advice. “For ten years before I took Tan- lac my stomach was in an awtul con- dition, and the suffering I have gone through has been almost more than 1 could bear. I was subject to vomit- ing spells that would last for hours at a time, once I had a spell .that lasted seventeen hours before it could be stopped. Chills would come on me, maybe down town, in the theatre, or anywhere I happened to be, and great beads of prespiration would stand out on my forehead. Pains would strike me right in the pit of my stomach, and a burning pain would flash up my throat, and al- most parch my throat and mouth. I couldn’t sleep well at night, and every morning I would feel so bad that T could hardly ress myself. Last February I had an attack of tne flu and I was in sucn a weakened con- dition that my case was severe and when I got up out of bed I had ac- tually lost forty-six pounds and was so thin that when friends called they could hardly recognize me, ‘A friend advise me to take Tanlac and 1 took her advice an started tak- ing it at once and sir the way I im- proved from the very first is remark- able, and my weight and strength came back so rapidly that it has made me almost a new woman. My stomach is in fine condition and I am not troubled with vomiting spells, or chills and the truth is, I don’t have any kind of aches or pains at all. My appetite is fine now and I enjoy going.to the table and eating, and at night I can sleep as sound as a child. ‘My recovery has been simpl wonderful and I just feel so well al the time that I don’t believe 1 was ever in better health in all my life than I am right now. Why, I've gained twenty-tive pounds already and I am gaining more all the time. Tanlac is certainly a remarkable medicine and as long as I live I'll praise it.” Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by the City Drug Store, in Kelliher by Mrs. ‘R. Sterling, in Blackduck by French & Moon, and in Baudette by J. Wil- liams. = = L eel k] L to cook them in. safety razor blade?
