AR 2, AR e 1 Tl i Vi o # PusLic 1s WARNED, - Against Taking .« Substitutes for Nuxated Iron Physicians Below Say That Ordine ary Metallic Iron Preparations Cannot Possibly Give The Same STRENGTH, POWER AND ENDURANCE As Organic lIron — Nuxated lnn_ ‘United States Judge Atkinson ‘le-l Opinion . Careful investigation by physicians among Wruggists and patients has revealed the fact that there are thousands of people taking jron who do mot distinguish between or- ganic iron and metallic iron, and that such persons often fail to obtain the vital energy, strength and en- durance which 1 they seek, simply %\ 1 because they have taken the wrong form of iron. Therefore, phy- sicians mentioned below, advise those feel | #1 the need of a strength and blood builder to ily doctors and obtain a prescrip- tion calling for or- ganic_iron—Nux- ¥ ated Iron—and pre- sent this to their druggist so that there may be no question about ob- taining the proper article. But if they do not wish to go to the trouble of getting a prescrip- tion for Nuxated Iron then be sure to look on the label and see that the words NUXATED IRON are printed thereon—not Nux and Iron nor any other form of iron, but Nuxated Irom. The remarkable results produced by Nuxated Iron and its widespread sale (it be- ing estimated that over three million people annually are to-day using it), has led to the offering of numerous substitutes, and these physicians say that health officials and doc- tors everywhere should caution the public against accepting substitutes in medicines nd they especially warn against accepting substitutes for Nuxated Iron, which, instead of being organic iron may be nothing mora than a metallic iron compound which ma in some cases produce more harm than goo The widespread publication of the above ine formation, has been suggested by Dr. James Francis Sullivan, formerly physician of Belle- vue Hospital (Outdoor Dept.), New York, and the Westchester County Hospital; Dr, Ferdinand King, New York Physician and Medical Author and others, o that the pubs lic may be informed on this subject and protected from the use of metallic iron_un- der the delusion that it is Nuxated Iron or at least something as good as Tron. 3 ~— It is surprising how many people sutfer from iron deficiency and do not know it. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk _without becomln{ tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of Nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength and see how much you have gained. - - Manufacturers' Note— Nuzated v and _ recommended Fown_to Judge G. W.

Every person who owns a colony of Lees owes it to his country as well as to himself to use every possible pre- i caution to preserve and conserve them. loney bees are an important source of food supply for next year. It re- quires only a little time to pack a ! colony for winter, and colonies prop- erly profected should winter perfectiy, i provided there is in the hive at this 'time of year from thirty to forty-five i pounds of good Iioney or sugar syrup, or a combination of both. The losses |this winter to bees in Connecticut | which are not packed at all' will rrob- (ably be not less than fifty per cent. ferely winding or wrapping hives vith burlap or paper is entirely in- adequate. Hives that are only cas- ually wrapped in this way are :ot properly prepared. Methods or win- tering which contemplate a total loss f fifty per cent. are always extrava- gant and ineficient and are especially to be deplored at this time. i Now is the time to park every col- ony that is to remain out of doors during the winter so that it will be surrounded on all six sides by sood dry insulating material. There should Le four inches of packing under the hive, eight to ten inches on the sides, “nd a foot on top. The following list uggests a few insulating materials hat may be used; they are arranged n the order of their excellence, the best being given first; sawdust, fine pianer shavings, chipped cork, coarse planer shavings, fine chaff (well pack- cd), chopped straw or hay, wnole straw or bay. All packings m be dry. Any material that is wet or ac- cidentally becomes wet in winter | promptly loses most of its insulating i value, | Hives not insulated under the bot- tom might almost as well not be in- stlated at al.

November first is about the time to get pullets iifto their winter laying !quarters. This is the beginning of !the hen year. It is the time ail the ‘loying contests in the country stari; but not all the pullets are fit to go in. In spite of early hatching, good fwed, good care and good manage- nt, there are alw a few culls in vy flock and jt is unproitanle to eep them tnrough the winter. The ryman is better off not to have houses quite full than to be car |ing along a number of culls that sure to be slackers. { At the time of transferring the pul jlets to their laying houses it is usual- i ly necessary to handle all the birds anyway; so the first culling should be | done at this time. If there are two or {more hatches, each group should be {lrandled separately in order to avoid \('Unlu jon when one is judging the e DI mor oe% wos | Tilets for size and @evelopment.

It is imperative that the sugar crop of the United States be increased, and every supply of supplemental sweet should be augmented to the greatest possible extent. Honey is one of the best of these and its production may be increased without great effort. The supply of nectar from which the bees make honey is bountiful and the only limitation to honey production is whether the price obtainable for the honey justifies the labor of the bee- keeper. There is no question of this in war timee. The recent demand for honey for export has been greater than ever be- fore and the home demand has also greatly increased. Because of the shortage of sugar, all forms of supple- mental sweets are being utilized and none of these appeals to the tastes of the consuming public more strongly than does honey. This increased de- mand has raised the price of honey and it is therefore a paying business to produce it to meet this need, in ad- dition to the fact that the beekeeper may feel that he is materially assist- ing in the food crisis of the nation. It is to be expected that even after the war is over this demand for honey will not cease, for many people are eating honey now who were not fa- milar with its delicious qualities and they will not forget how good it i In the production of honey it is of the first importance that the colonies of bees be kept strong, especially that they be wrong before the beginning of the main honey flows of the early summer. To bring about this essential condition, the most important step is the proper wintering of the bees, and this bulletin has been prepared that beekeepers throughout the country may be able to get their bees through the winter without the great loss of colonies and reducticn in strength of those which still live which have been <0 common in the past. The proper | preparation of the bees for winter now becomes not only a patriotic duty but it is good business. AT THE END OF THE GOOD ROAD | To see what happens at the end of | the good road a public road specialist of the department of agriculture re- cently had observations made in dif- ferent sections of the country. Ob- | servers noted many country-bound teamsters who drove two loaded wag- | ons, hitched one behind the other, to e end of the zood road, where they returned for later, while all the power of their teams was devoted to hauling highway. Farmers bound for market frequent- ly were seen to haul wood and similar products to the beginning of the good road, there dumping them and return- |ing for a second load. When this ar- irived the two loads were consolidated ! and easily hauled by a single team the remaining distance to market over the | improved road. SALT FOR DAIRY COWS. | The dairy cow requires an ounce of isalt a day, and while she should be | given all she needs, she should not be. forced to take more than she wants. It is best, therefore, to give only a small quantity on the feed, and to place rock salt in boxes in the yard. 'COOL YOUR MORNING’S MILK. At first blush, this may, seem like the wrong time of year tc discuss cool- ing of milk, but this is a real problem that constantly confronts every dairy- man. He should be and usually is striving to keep his product up to the highest standard of quality| It is not pedjum better than through ti - | possible to do this if the milk is not Ws@‘—ufim"-m e thoroughly cooled. None will deny AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS left one wagon by the roadside to be; a single wagon over the unimproved | that in warm weather milk spoils rap- idly and quickly becomes unsalable. There are few farmers who do not know and recognize this fact, and yet it is an all too common practice to im- properly cool the milk; in fact, the morning’s milk is very often taken to the creamery without any cooling whatever. i To insure the best quatlity of milk, it should be cooled as soon as possible after it is drawn and to as low a tem- perature as is practical, which should not be over 50 to 55 degrees Fahren- heit. There are three general methods of cooling used on the farm. The first is to put the cans of milk in a tank or tub of cold water; this is hardly to be recommended because the water warms up before the mik is really cooled. Then it is very common to cool the cans of milk in a tank of run- ning water; this method proves very satisfactory if the water is cold enough, around 50 degrees. But by far the best way is to put the cans in a tank of ice water and then stir the milk well. It does not take long to cool milk by this method. Next summer the milk drinkers will want milk with a good flavor and free from the taint of souring. Next sum- mer's milk and this winter’s ice crop are closely related factors. The sug- gestion, of course, is to harvest a suit- able supply of ice; it will be splendid insurance on the quality of your milk. BE SURE TO CLEAN THE HEN HOUSES Clean out the poultry houses, white- wash them and make sure of sufficient ventilation is the recommendation made by William F. Kirkpatrick, in charge of the poultry department at Storrs. No pullets should be put into unsanitary houses or surrounded with uninviting environment. All these fac- tors should be considered from two points of view, namely, that of saving feed and of getting more eggs during the winter. Prof. Kirkpatrick does not wish to be understood as recommending a lot of new poultry houses, because there is a ban on building operations unless it can be shown that they are essen- tially needed. . On the other hand, if details are properly taken care of, the old poultry houses can be made quite comfortable enough, and hens must be comfortable and happy and prosperous or they will refuse to fili the egg bas- ket. Dampness is an adverse condi- tion that must be avoided at all costs. There are usually two factors that make for this unhealthy condition; one is poor ventilation in the house and the other is either a poorly con- structed floor or one that is not well cared for. If the poultry house has a wood or cement floor, cieaning is an‘easy mat- ter because one can tell when the job is well done. Many houses, however, have an earthen floor and these are the ones that are likely to be most trouble- some. Not less than six or eight inches of earth should be removed and replaced with sand and gravel. The earth floor should be higher than the surrounding ground outside. To make doubly sure of good drainage, it is well to bank up all around the house so that no surface water can get in to complicate the situation. With this part of the program taken care of, it is important to provide for thorough ven- tilation. , Hens that are crowded into a house in which there is not enough fresh air will soon make it unbearably damp from the inside, and this is just as bad as if water was allowed to run in_from the outside. Last February a flock of 1,200 Leg- horns in a fine new house were laying less than 200 eggs a day when they should have easily been laying twice as many, and there was just one chief criticism to make: the poultry house w damp from the inside, the litter was soggy. To make sure there is enough fresh air, one ought to allow from one-third to one-fourth of a square foot of open front for each hen.
