Ono successful poultryman offers tho following suggestion: "Have your poultry houses and runs In full sight of tho road so that pas Bersby may see what you really have. Invito customers to make an inspec tion tour of tho place. Show thom that you havo tho cleanest houses and tho most sanitary packing rooms possible. Show thom that you are proud of your flock and your ability to give people tho best of everything. r"''ln order to get customers you must let people know which chickens and eggs aro yours. To do this you must havo a trnde-mark which Btands for quality and your personal guaranty. SIMPLE BUT GOOD POULTRY REMEDIES It Is far more profltablo to become master of tho art of prevention than It is to bo an expert in tho art of cure. It is well to doctor the early Btages of sickness, and thereby avoid Berious ailments. But when it comes to the contaglouB diseases llko roup and cholera, we aro strongly In the be lief that they cannot bo cured. Wo may apparently cure these ail ments, but the germs of tho disease can nover bo eradicated from tho body. When such birds aro used for breeding purposes, they have but ono result a generation of sickly, poor ly constituted offspring. Hero aro a" few simple remedies .for early stages, which it might be well to remember: For bumble-foot, paint tho corn lib erally with tincture of iodine daily for 'a week. If this is done in tho early stages, tho corn can be spread. For canker, three applications of fine salt rubbed on tho soro spots has been reported as an excellent remedy. For catarrh, four drops of aconite in a half-pint of drinking water is rec ommended. Creolin, ono part to ono hundred parts of water, has also been known to euro; boric acid, 20 grains to one ounce of water or liBterine, one part to ten parts of water, aro also safe remedies. For chicken-pox, paint the head and wattles, with vaseline, after first hav ing bathed well with hot water. At night, give a one-grain quinine pill. Repeat treatment each night for a week. For colds, a one-grain quinine pill each night for three nights or a week until cured. 2. ) Prepare a mixture of one tablespoonful of a good family liniment, one teaspoonful of spirits of turpentine, and four tablespoonfuls of water. When using, warm slightly and shake well beforo using. Inject two to four drops in tho nostrils. For costiveness, ten drops of sul phate of magnesia to each- pint of drinking water. For crop' troubles, enlarged or sour crop, add about half a teaspoonful , of baking soda to a quart of drinking water dally for a few days, during which time feed sparingly. For crop bound, Powell sayB ho has cured bad cases by making afflicted birds swal low all the warm coffee that could bo forced into its crop. Repeat tho doso several times. For debility, an English remedy Is a raw now-laid egg every morning until tho fowl begins to recover. Then change to a little cooked meat, and add a little muriate of iron to tho Jrlnklng water. 2. When the writer has a fowl that Is moping, ho gives a family liver pill each night for threo nights in succession. Also gives tho bird a free range over a grass plot. For diarrhea, slight cases, a few drops of spirits of camphor in tho drinking water. 2. A half-toaspoon-ful of paregoric dally. 3. Glvo a tea spoonful of soda water (made by us ing threo teaspoonfuls of bicarbonate Boda to a pint of wator). 4. Use char coal, finely ground, in feed and wa ter. For indigestion, a gill of linseed meal to each dozen hens. 2. A tea spoonful of fenugreek In tho mash for every ten fowls. For leg weakness, a pill composed of a half-grain quinine, ono grain of BUlphato of Iron, and five grains of phosphate of lime. 2. Ten drops of tincture of mix vomica In a quart of drinking water. For llmberneck, night and morn ing glvo a pint of. asafetlda, about tho bIzo of a pea, 2. Four or flvo drops of turpentine in a spoonful of castor oil, or make It into a pill with wheat flour. 3. Mix sweet oil and oil MlBaKUHKliaHKIliHIUIHKliaMllUHU PKJm( M"-M T'uftv" "T. ' - Well Carry the Card of the Grower.' It may bo a White Wynndotto on a green field or n yellow baby chick on a basket of eggs anything that Is striking, artistic, and that implies something about tho quality of the product. "Print your trade-mark on every carton, crate, and package that leaves the farm. With It decorato your let terheads, circulars, and seals. It is your lettor of introduction to careful housewives and your membership card In tho order of progressive poultry men. "Keep in touch with customers. If you have something especially good something a Httlo extra let theni know about It. Know what each cus tomer prefers and make an effort to always havo It for him. If you don't happen to havo It, got It from Bomo other dealer. You will find that it will pay in tho end." For Winter Eggs FEED . Whole grain corn, wheat, oats or ba-'ey. Mill feed bran, middlings, gluten feed, malt sprouts. Animal feed skim milk, meat scrap, green bone, waste meat, dry bone, blood, etc. Green feed cabbage, man gels, rutabagas, carrots, sprout ed oats, etc.; clover chaff, al falfa. Mineral feed oyster shells, grit or gravel, charcoal. Plenty of fresh water. Halpln.

For pip, anoint the tongue with vas eline. 2. A small bit of butter tho size of a nut and a bit of aloes of the bIzo of a pea, made Into a pill and put down the throat. For rattling In tho throat, give grown fowls a half-teaspoonful every morning of a mixture composed of equal parts of vinegar and water. 2. Glvo ten drops dally of a mixture com posed of one part spirits of turpen tine with four parts of sweet oil. For scaly legs, rub with an oint ment made of equal parts of keroseno and melted lard. 2. One-third car bolic acid to two-thirds glycerin. Glycerin has a tendency to soften and bring out the color on shanks and toes that have become dry and harsh. Beforo using any ointment on a fowl's legs, It is best to thoroughly wash them with warm water and car bolic soap. For soro eyes nothing is bettor than a drop of glycerin. For soro head, a Httlo bromide of potassium in the drinking wator, and then anoint with carbollzed vaseline, MANY ADVANTAGES IN THE INCUBATOR Many farmers who havo never used an incubator, aro thinking of purchas ing ono for the coming season's work. Tho incubator has many advantages over tho old way of hatching eggs. It Is possible to secure earlier chick ens nnd to set eggs at any time, re gardless of season or weather. It re quires much less time and labor to caro for an Incubator than It does to enro for hens enough to hatch as many eggs as will require tho work of 20 hens. Then again, tho Incubator brings the chicks into llfo freo from Hco. Tho brooder, oven in lato spring, is ahead of tho old hen, trailing tho chicks through tho wot grass, or if she is cooped up, subjecting tho chick to depredations of rats and other enemies. Then again, early laying lions may bo broken of setting and started to laying again, thus turning tho poultry house Into continued profit. Thq amateur should practice with tho incubator a few days beforo put ting in tho eggs, and determine tho condition of temperaturo and mois ture. Breed for fertile eggs and then select as good eggs as would bo used if you woro sotting hens from vigor ous stock Plan to havo as largo a number of chicks as possible, as It Is but Httlo more troublo to caro for 500 chicks than one-fourth that number. If you nro raising common stock, ar range to get somo pure-bred eggs. Send for Incubator catalogues early and study tho best makes. Now York. From tho fifteenth floor of a Now York skyscrapor, In tho offlco of Theodore N. Vail, president of tho American Telephone and Tele graph company, Alexander Graham Bell Monday afternoon telephoned to Thomas A. Watson In San Francisco, Bonding tho first raessago over tele phoned ncroBS tho continent. Although engineers and scientists havo worked for nearly forty years perfecting transmitters, receivers, linos, cables, switchboards and various telephone apparatus that all com bined mado transcontinental tele phoning possible, John J. Carty, chief engineer of the Boll Telephono Sys tem, insisted that tho Inventor of tho telephone should havo tho honor of sending tho first ocean to ocean mes sage, nnd thus It was that Dr. Bell and Mr. Wajtspji woro at either end of tho Ilife Monday nftornoonf In a Httlo workshop in Boston, Juno 2, 1875, it was Alexander Graham Bell who spoke and Thomas A. Watson who heard the first message ever sont by telephono. "Come hero Watson, I want you," woro tho first words over conveyed over a wire. That wire waB only sixty feet in length. Tho Hno used Monday is 3,400 miles long. A bit of sentiment that entored into the celebration of tho opening of tho transcontinental lino was that tho sixty feet of wire used In tho first Hr ..ji&, tut jSorawHHimiiiHH IB-' $ JHl (Copyright by Harris & Kwlne) ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL. talk in Boston was spliced Into tho lino Monday, thirty feet of It at New York and thirty feet at San Francisco. Ever since tho telephono wnB dis covered, America, the land of its birth, has kept tho lead, using more telephones than al the rest of tho world. Morq than twenty-one million miles of wire in this country now unite nine million telephones in 70,000 cities, towns and villages. All the rest of tho world has less than flvo million telephones. In 187C the longest telephono lino In tho world was from Boston to Cam bridge, two miles; in 1884 it was ex tended to Now York, 235 miles. Chi cago and Now York woro connected in 1895, and in 1911 Now York could say "Hello" to Denver. In tho forty yenrs slnco tho tele phone was Invented nearly a hundred types of transmitters, and numerous repeating Instruments and other de vices have been used and discarded for something better, but it is asserted that no single new discovery has been responsible for this latest and great est achievement in the telephone art. In tho two circuits of the transcon tinental lino thero aro approximately six million pounds of copper wire., or about two hundred carloads. This wlro Ib stretched on 130,000 poles, which If they woro loaded on railroad cars would make twenty trains of thirty cars each. Tho route of tho transcontinental telephone lino Is from New York to Pittsburgh, thence to Chicago, Daven port, Des Moines, Omaha, Lincoln, Denver, Salt Lako City and to San Francisco. It is understood that tho rato will bo about $21.00 for a three-minute talk from Now York to San Francisco. Stationed along this great stretch of telephono Hno tho day it was open ed wcro repairmen every few miles, in the big centers, In, tho little towns, on tho prairies, In tho mountains, and out on the desert, ready to splice tho wires In caBo they woro torn down by sleet or wind, to solder a break or re place an Insulator broken by a storm or a mischievous hoy. Llko soldlors on picket duty, these repairmen will bo kept on constant vigil, night and day, in good weather and in bad, for it Is advertised that tills lino 1b soon to bo opened to tho public for con stant use.
