The Market Package Might
If tho practice of successful poultry
men is any evidence, tho best way
to ndvertlso poultry products is to "de
liver the goods" furnish tho greatest
"layers, tho cleanest eggs, and tho most
hardy chicks in your territory.
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

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.

of turpentlno, equal parts, and glvo
from ten drops to a teaspoonful of tho
mixture to each afflicted bird after it
has fasted for several hours.
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

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.
