The Wonderful Oure of a Congested Liver by the Use of Kickapoo Indian Reme- dies, Antéine Myers, Sr., of New Amsterdam, Wisconsin, was a sufferer for many years from what he believed to be and what the doctors treated him for as congestion of the iver. + Terrific pains under the right shoulder blade, depressed breathing, bad taste in the mouth, dull pain in the head, sickness of the stomach, skin of a greenish yellow tinge, dizziness, and many other similar disagree- able symptoms he ex- perienced, until after years of suffering and delay, he had about given up all hope of ever <4 again en- joying heaith. He at last tried the famous Kickapoo Indian Reme- dies, and upon the ad- vice of one of their re- presen- tatives, he tried the well known Kick- apoo Indian Worm writes in the mst grateful spirit, as follows :— «After the first two doses of the Worm Killer, I passed a large number of stomach worms that had obstructed the bile duct, which I found was the original cause of all my sickness. After getting relief this way, I took Kickapoo Indian Sagwa to tone up my generat health. 1 am now nearly well and getting stronger every day.

How Successfal Farmers Operate This Department of the Farm—A Few Hints as to the Care of Live Stock and Poultry. Care of Poultry. F you want your chicks to have bright yellow legs, never allow them to run or wallow where unleached wood ashes have been thrown, they will bleach them white. Use sulphur sparingly or it will kill more chicks than it cures, yet it can be used ju- dicially on old fowls. If lice have ac- cumulated during incubation they will easily be seen on the heads of the chicks. When you take the mother hen off with her brood rub her well under her wings and body with grease. When she broods her chicks their heads come in contact with the grease, which the lice can not long enduze. Give her a good place to dust herself in and she will soon rid herself and chicks of the pests. Keep the chicks from huddling in heaps at night after the hen leaves them, lest some get too warm, after- wards taking cold, which ends in roup, the dreaded disease. I fear it more than cholera, although I never had the latter in my flock, and by keeping everything strictly clean you need never fear it. I often read in the poultry journals that it is not much work to take care of poultry. I have always found it just the reverse. Still, I like it for the out-door exercise and natural tove I have for pets. I also found it very re- munerative, but I find there is as grea* a demand for that article called com- mon sense in poultry raising as in everything else. The third year I gave poultry my attention I kept a strict account with the biddies. I had thir- ty-two Light Brahma hens and forty half-bloods for sitters. In the early spring I sold ninety-two sittings of eggs, twenty-two half-bloods for sit- ters, and raised near 700 chicks. I sold some for broilers and some for breed- ing purposes, and packed over 150 dozen eggs during the summer. I sold all the culls Thanksgiving, and at the end of the year the books showed a balance in my favor of $791.34. Since that time I have kept no accurate ac- count, but am satisfied to continue un- til I find something better. Most of the farmers have their poultry yards overstocked; hence it costs more to feed them, and they are not so remun- erative. Cull your flocks in early fall, and the remainder will do better and be more profitable. The cost of feeding varies with the price of grain. Farm- ers do not teel this as we who have it to buy. If the fowls have their lib- erty, the cost of feeding is a mere trifle. It is estimated that one and a half bushels of corn will keep a hen one year. Our estimate of the cost of one hen one year, in confinement, was eighty-seven cénts, but she had a vari- ety of food. Where they are comfort- ably housed it costs less to feed them, and they will lay more eggs, A few timely hints in regard to treat- ment as the weather grows warmer, and I have done. During the heated term, all kinds of vermin propagate rapidly, and, if allowed, will prove to be the pest “whose name is legion.” Examine your fowls frequently to make sure they have nv lice upon them, and watch with a jealous eye for the ap- pearance of tke tiny, but abominable pests—the poultry parasite. The “ounce of prevention” should be brought into requisition now, if ever. If hens are kept sitting for late chicks, have special care to provide a cool, quiet place on the ground for them. A little hollow made in the earth, with a lining of clean, fresh grass, is suffi- cient. If the eggs get foul, wash them clean in tepid water, line the nest with fresh grass and replace the eggs. Care- fully study the habits of your hens with chicks. They will be found to vary as much as other folks in disposition and habits. Such as prove quiet sitters, careful and successful mothers, and tractable when their keepers approach, should be spared for another year’s ser- vice. I have one (Old Brownie) seven years old, and she now has seventeen hearty chicks. The great value of milk as a food for poultry seems to be over- looked by farmers and those who have plenty. It is good for them in all shapes. It is eagerly eaten by them, and they will thrive on it as they will on nothing else. The above is largely my own experience, and hence I know whereof I speak, and I find that by proper devotion to the demands of the nature of our fowls, one will have but little use for the study of diseases. But there is work about it, and there is about anything we undertake if we do it successfully. Constant vigilance is the price of success in almost every uncertaking, and in none other is it more applicable than in, the breeding and management of poultry, whether pure bred or not, if profit is the desir- ed result. Outlook for the Cow. We do not know of a greater business than the production of milk. Not that the production of milk is the greatest industry in the world at present, but it is very likely to become so in the fu- ture. There is almost no limit to the possibilities in this regard. Milk drinking and milk using is largely a thing that has been adopted by certain communities, but where once adopted it stays. There are still in the world vast areas where the people do not think of using cows’ milk as a food, and the reason is that milk has not been placed before them in a form that appeals to them as buyers. Especially is this true in tropical countries where a few cows here and there supply the wants of large communities. They supply the wants of the large com- munities because but few of the people in those communities use milk in any form. We heard some time ago of an American who tried to get some butter in a town of Venezuela. He tried to find a grocer that had it for sale, but was finally told that in all probability he could get some at the drug store. He went there and found that they had @ very small supply that was kept as @ permanent stock to be used for medical Purposes. Whether it was used for outward or inward application deos not appear. When the American asked for @ couple of pounds the native druggist nearly fell over in astonishment, and wondered what on earth the American could do with two pounds of butter, which, by the way, was about his whole stock in trade. The butter, however, was found to be rancid and decidedly unfit for the internal use intended by the American. This but illustrates that there are vast populations that have got yet to be educated into the milk and butter using habit. In our large American cities the use of milk is every year increasing. More and more it is becoming an article of universal diet. Even buttermilk is coming into great demand in all of the city restaurants and even multitudes of saloons keep a supply of good, cold, fresh buttermilk constantly on hand. These are signs that the cow is to be a strong factor in the economics of the future. Two great considerations come up in the spreading of this milk- drinking habit. First the quality of the milk and second its cheapness. Both sweet milk and buttermilk win their way on their quality and if the farmer wants his trade to increase he must give the best milk that can be had. We know of course that feed does not cut a very great figure in the solid contents of milk, but we cannot but think that feed does have very much to do with the flavor and palatability of milk, Perhaps this point Will be dis- puted, but we doubt if one that has been an habitual drinker of milk will be satisfied to take it from any cow ana from any food. We know that with domestic animals used for food, the food on which they have been grown and fattened transmits its flavor to the flesh. Thus the water-fowl that feeds on fish is so fishy that it is very dis- tasteful to many, The beeves, mut- tons and sWine are notably affected to such an extent that it makes a great difference on the market. Can it be doubted, therefore, that the feed does have a very great effect on the quality of the milk? The cows that are fed on pasture grass alone will not produce a milk that the city people will relish as they will milk produced from grass and millfeeds. Especially is this true in the early part of the summer when after heavy rains there is a decided grass flavor to the milk. So far as cost is concerned the only way it can be put on the market at a lower rate than present is to elminate the waste and the selling of milk to people that never pay. So far as the | restaurants are concerned this is not of much consequence, provided that milk does not go up as it has in Wash- ington, Baltimore and some other cit- ies, where it sells at ten cents per quart. In Chicago it still sells for five and six cents per quart and should be kept at this point if possible. It should be kept at this point to keep up a steady demand that will prevent the supply increasing faster than the de- mand and thus in the not distant fu- ture causing a collapse. Restaurants sell their milk by the glass at about 20 cents per quart. Recently on the streets of Chicago we noticed a man that had a stand for the sale of ice-cold buttermilk. He sold it at two cents per glass, which would be about eight cents per quart or more. His glasses were of a size that would require about five for a quart, so we may say that he got ten cents a quart for his milk. He seemed to have a brisk trade. But one day he disappeared from his corner, and the people that had begun to drink buttermilk there and had begun to form the habit felt his loss. Probably he had moved to some place in the city where trade was brisker than at his first stand. His being missed, how- ever, shows what a vast amount of but- termilk might be disposed of in this way. Beef-Producing Cattle—There is at present a tendency to increase the num- ber and improve the quality of the beef- producing cattle on our farms. Owing to the long period of depression in the eattle industry the farm herds of beef- bred cattle were seriously reduced or 30 crossed with dairy blood as to im- pair or destroy their usefulness for beef production. Many of the splendid oure-bred herds in the Ohio valley and eastward were dispersed. The well- bred steers formerly raised in such great numbers in this section became aard to get, and feeders have been more and more dependent on the West for che stock to consume their grain. This resulted in good prices for feeding cat- tle, which has again stimulated the breeding of good beef cattle on the farms. More beef-bred bulls are now going to these farms than for a long time. This is the forerunner of a great advance in farm beef production, but it is doubtful if the industry again reaches its old-time importance in the Ohio’ valley and eastward.—Ex. Water in Milk.—The less frequently the milk is taken from the udder the greater is its proportion of water, the last portions removed being generally the richest in butter. Evening milk is much richer in butter and casein than the morning milk, the salts remaining about the same. When the animal is given abundance of food it increases both the amount of casein and fat, while a_les- sened diet diminishes the total solids. Rest seems to encourage the formation of butter, exercise impoverishing the milk in butter, but increasing its rich- ness in casein. - Distarpvance. “Burglars say they never tackle a house with only women in it.” “That’s queer—is it a superstition?’ “No; but they would rather be shot than screamed at.” Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion ot the ear. ‘There is only one way to cure deafness, a that is by constitutional remedies.
