looked so frail and weak that her
mother and I were both almost wor

taking Tanlac, she has already gained
30 pounds, her color Is better than It
ever has been and she looks nnd acts

Mrs. Catherine McCabc, 41-1 Dick

A "balanced diet" may sound
confusing to many people
The facts, as explained
here, are simple.
Tho secret of a "balanced diet" is to have food
containing all the elements needed for proper
nutrition. These elements are protein, to nourish
the tissues; starch and sugar to furnish energy;
fat to supply heat; and mineral salts to provide
the material necessary for building nerves, brain,
and tooth and bone structure.
i Grape-Nuts, tho
wholewheat flour and malted barley, served with
cream or milk, is a complete food for young and
old alike.
Go to your grocer today and get a package of
Grape-Nuts. Eat it with milk or cream for
breakfast; or with stewed fruit, jelly or jam, as a
delicious dessert for lunch or dinner.

An Egg-Circle Pay Day Gives Opportunity for Exchange of Experiences.
(Prepared by the United SUtea Department
of Agriculture )
When it Is considered thnt the value
of the poultry nnd egg crop Is equal
to that of either the liny or wheat crop,
and that there Is a total annual loss
of nearly 8 per cent of the eggs
marketed, It Is evident that many pro
ducers would be benefited by a change
In the methods of handling and market
lng eggs. Investigations by the1 United
States Department of Agriculture have
shown thnt a good share of this big
loss occurs as a result of Improper
hnndllug between the farm and the
market, nnd much of the carelessness
Is'attrlbuted to the habit of consider
ing eggs a by-product nnd, conse
quently, giving them poor caie.
Organize a Few Egg Producers.
In many communities the problem of
getting better returns for eggs has
been satisfactorily f-olved by tho or
ganization of several farmers or
furinci b' wives Into little associations
known as egg circles. These organiza
tions have been useful In Improving
the quality of eggs In various ways In
addition to bettor methods of market
ing. Some of them have given much
nttcntlon to selecting standard breeds
that lay more or larger eggs. They
hae also made a study of better
care, feeding, nnd shelter.
To Improve the qunlity of the poultry
stock, one of the most successful egg
companies has a large lncubntor house
of 12,000 eggs capacity, where early
chicks are hatched for the members
nt low cost. This Is done In order to
obtain early maturing pullets, thus
securing eggs during the fall when
they are usually benrec and high
priced. This company also lias a re
ceiving room for eggs where they are
candled, sorted to weight (about 21
ounces to the dozen), packed in car
tons, and shipped on contract orders.
The eggs nre all guaranteed to he true
to grade; they advertise tho fancy
grades on their cartons or cases, and
market prices are paid to the members.
Twice a year dividends are paid
each member In proportion ,to the
number of eggs mnrkctcd through the
company nnd tho tlmo of year eggs
were brought In, a larger dividend
being paid per dozen for eggs brought
In during the fall and winter than for
those brought In during the spring nnd
summer. A regular trade is established
with discriminating consumers, with
city clubs, with the best class of hotels
and restnurnnts, and with fancy
grocors for a supply each day or week.
AVOID DISAGREEABLE SMELLS
Unless Scrupulous Care Is Taken Un-
pleasant Odors Are Likely to
Hurt Products.
In winter smells are apt to find their
way to milk and butter quite as readily
as In summer. Now these products
must be kept In the house, nnd some
artificial heat must bo used to keep
them from freezing. This close con
llniMiieut Is very apt to bring an un
pleasant smell or taste to milk nnd
butter unless the most scrupulous care
Is tnken. Milk ought never to he kept
anywhere near the kitchen. If It Is,
some bad Bmells will surely be Im
parted to the milk nnd crenm.
CHARCOAL GOOD PREVENTIVE
Has Great Purifying Effect In Absorb
ing Noxious Gases Aids Di
gestive Disorders.
Tho valuo of charcoal can scarcely
bo over-Pinphnsized, nnd it should be
fed to fowls of all ages ns a proven
tlvo of bowel disorders and disease.
It Is best to keep It before the fowls
at all times, ns thero Is no danger of
them eating too tmielu Charcoal has
n great purifying effect In absorbing
noxious gases, tnvl will correct many
llgcstlve disorders.
GOOD DAIRYMAN IS DEFINED
Among Other Things Ho Should Meet
and Know Other Men Who Can
Handle Cows.
To be n good dairyman you must
meet nnd know other dairymen who
know how to handle cows. Head tho
nsi (cultural papers, and tho paper de
voted to your breed. ' Ho familiar with
ihe weak nnd strong points of each
animal In tho herd and strive to pre
vent a, recurrence of the wenk points

tr $""?;:
The reputation thus established
enables the association to fix its prico
at seoral cents a dozen above the
regular market quotations. This asso
ciation, In common with many others,
co-operates In buying chicken feed nnd
other supplies.
Attractive Package Is Important.
One of the very Important considera
tions In getting n good price for eggs
thus marketed Is on attractive
pnekage. Some of the most successful
shippers have done away with dirty,
wooden cases, and use a heavy fiber
board case which will hold from 15 t
20 pasteboard cartons of 32 eggs each.
Advertising Is printed upon both tin
enrtons nnd the case. Some of tho
circles market by parcel post within
the first nnd second zones; thnt Is,
l."0 miles. When eggs nre sold in tills
way. special care must be given to
pneking.
Another marketing method that hns
been developed with a good deal of
success In dairy sections Is to sell
through the creamery. Kggs can be
delivered to the creamery with the
cream or milk, nnd the creamery
officials are often able to work up n
fancy trade with those who buy their
butter.
The objects of such organizations,
as given In the sample constitution
compiled by the Department of Agri
culture, will give a good Iflea of what
most nf these circles nttempt to ac
complish. They arc: The securing of
better strains of poultry; to produce
more; eggs of good color nnd size; to
handle eggs more cnrrfnlfy In order
to be able to gunrantee them, and thns
create a reputation ; to market same
more directly to the consumer; to pur
chase supplies In a co-operntlre wny;
nnd to do such other things ns may
prore of benefit to members of the
community.
Now Is Good Time to Organbre.
Tho winter months, when there Is
usually more leisure for farmers to get
together and talk over their problems,
should be the best time to make the
first move in organizing an egg circle.
Marketing eggs Is not such a problem
at this season, but when tho hens be
gin to lay heavily in the spring It will
bo a great convenience to have an or
ganization already In working order.
Detnlted Information regarding the
organization of egg' circles may be ob
tained from tho Department of Agri
culture, ESSENTIALS FOR DAIRY BULL
Future Development of Herd Depends
Largely on What Calves Inherit
From Him.
Too often the bull Is housed In n
dnrk, dirty stall and receives but little
attention. Remember the hull Is half
the herd and that the future develop
ment of the herd depends largely up
on what tho calves Inherit from him.
The bull at all times should have
proper feed and plenty of exercise.
The young bull should he fed rathci'
liberally as this Is the only means of
getting his full slzo dpveloped and nn
undersized animal Is alwnys looked
upon unfavorably.
RAISE CALVES SUCCESSFULLY
Feeder Must Have General Knowledge
of Subject and Then Apply It
In Practical Manner.
In order to raise calves successfully
tho feeder must have a general knowl
edge of the subject, and then apply
his knowledge In n practical manner.
It Is highly Important, also, that sani
tation bo considered one of tho most
liuportnnt factors Involved In the rais
ing of calves; thnt all milk must not
bo lower In temperature than tho body
heat of the animal, and thnt all feedd
bo Increased very gradually In
umountb.

which can bo dumped near tho hen
