Acid Stomach
Makes the Body Sour
Nine Out of Ten People
Suffer From It
It sends its harmful ecids and gases all
ever the body, instead of health and
trengtb. Day and night this ceaseless dam
age goes on. No matter how strong, its
victim cannot long withstand the health
destroying effects of en acid stomach.
Good news for millions of sufferers.
Chemists have found a sure remedy one
that takes the acid up and carries it out
of the body; of course, when the caujse is
removed, the sufferer gets well.
Bloating, Indigestion, sour, acid, gassy
stomach miseries all removed. This is
proven by over half a million ailing folks
who have taken EATONIO with wonder

CUCUMBERS AR
EASILY INJURED
It Is Not Advisable -ttTPIant Un
til All Danger of Frost

RICH SOIL IS RECOMMENDED
Frequent Shallow Cultivation Should
Be Given Until Vines Fill Space
Between Rows Netting Keeps
Away Harmful Bugs.
(Prepared by the Unltod States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Tho soil for cucumbers should be
rich, and It is tf good plan to npply
well-rotted nianuro under the rows or
hills. If planted In rows open tho fur
row nnd scatter tho mnnure along the
furrow, turning fresh soil over the ma
nure before plantlug tho seeds. If tho
seeds are planted In hills confine tho
application of manure to the area occu
pied by the hills.
Easily Injured by Cold.
As cucumbers are easily Ihjured by
cold It Is not advisable to plant until
all danger of frost Ms over and the
ground has begun to wnrm up. For
very early cucumbers the seeijjj should
he planted In n hotbed In old straw
berry boxes, plant boxes, Inverted sods,
or directly In the soil of the bed. By
starting the plants In hotbeds the cu
cumbers will be ready for the table
two or three weeks earlier than If
started In the open. For the main
crop drill the seed In rows live feet
npart, nnd after the plants roach a
height of three or four -Inches thin
thorn o stand twelve to eighteen
Inches 'apart In tho row, or plant the
seeds In hlljs four feet npart ench way
anil thin to three or four plants to ho
hill.
Cucumbers should bo given frequent
shallow cultivation until the vines till
most of the space between the rows;
after this very little nttentlon will be
needed, except to pull out weeds by
hand. Do not nllow any fruit to ripen
on the vines until the end of the pick
ing season, ns new fruits will not form
while tho older ones nre ripening.
Beetle Does Much Harm.
Young cucumber plants are often de
stroyed by the cucumber beetle. It Is
possible to protect tjie plants by cover
ing tlioni wi'li Mnnll woodpn frames
uucumners.
jver which mosquito netting has been
stretched or n square of mosquito net
ting dropped over a peg set in tho
middle of the hill, the edges of the net
ting being covered with enrth to pre
vent the netting from blowing off,
tnny be used. Air-slaked Umo sprin
kled over the, small. plants Is an added
protection ngnlnst the cucumber beetle.

Range From Small Ones Laid by Ban
tams to Those Laid by Such
Breeds as. Light Brahmas.
The eggs of different kinds of do
mestic poultry vary In size ns well as
appearance, and there Is also a consid
erable range In the size of eggs of
different breeds; thus, hens' eggs
range from the small ones lnld by
bantnms to the lnrge ones lnld by
such breeds as Light Brahmas. ac
cording to the United States depart
ment of agriculture. On an average,
hens' eggs nre 2.27 Inches In length
nnd 1.72 Inches In diameter, or width,
at the broadest point, and weigh about
two ounces each, or eight eggs to the
pound (1.5 pounds per dozen). Gen
erally sjienklng, the eggs of pullets
nre smaller than those of old birds,
those of gulnen fowls about two thirds
the size of hens' eggs, those of ducks
somewhat larger, while those of tur
keys and geese nro considerably
larger.
BARNYARD MANURE IN FAVOR
Liberal Application Should Be Made
In Garden Broadcpjt Before
Turning the Soil.
If barnyard manure Is available give
a liberal application to your garden.
If you hnvo only n smnll supply. It Is
best to put In the drill nnd thoroughly
mix with the soli. If plentiful, apply
broadcast before turning tho soil.
AVOID TOO MUCH BULKY FOOD
Hens Have Small Crops and Cannot
Handle Great Amount of Rough

The feeder must bo careful not to
supply ton much bulky feed to tho
hens, as these fowls hnvo mnnll crops
nnd cannot handle a great amount of

trellis may be cleaned and closed up
and stored away for further use.
In setting the trellis In position
along the row of 'tomatoes, they
should be set live or six feet apart,
so thnt strips, as shown In the cut by

CONCENTRATES MUST BE FED
Dairy Expert Advises Against Discon
tinuance of Grain Feed for
Cows In Pasture.
Tj. V. Wilson of University farm,
agent In dairying for the United
States deportment of agriculture, nd-
vises against the discontinuance of
grain feed when the cows nre turned
out first to pasture. Some grain must
still be fed, he sn,ys, If a consistent
milk flow and tho average weight of
the cows are to bo maintained. Chang
ing from grain feeds to pastures can
be overdone, he ndds, for tho reason
that It Is Impossible for tho cows to
get the same amount of nourishment
from a day's grazing that they may j
obtain from two or moro regular feed
ings of concentrates. "We usunlly no-j
tlce," he says, "on Increase In milk

ting n greater strain upon their sys
tem, If we do not tide them over
through the llrst few weeks with some

culture. COAL ASHES ARE BENEFICIAL
Professor Voorhees Recommends Them
for Lightening Heavy,
Clay Soils.
Professor Voorhees, nn authority on
soil fertilization, snys that the beno
llclal results of coal ashes when ap
plied to some soils Is evidently due to
the physical effect on tho soli. Pro
fessor Van Slyko In his work on fer
tilizers recommended conl nshes for
lightening heavy, eluy soils.
The ashes should be carefully sifted
nnd only the fine ashes applied to tho
garden or truck patch when sand Is
not nvallnble.
HOW TO RID FLOCK OF FLEAS
Necessary to Clean and Spray Houses
and Runs Thoroughly and Then
Treat the Fowls.
In ninny of tho Southern nnd South
western stntcs fowls nnd chicks aro
often Infested by a species of flea,
commonly known as the "stick-tight"
flea, because of Its habit of sticking to"
ne plnco on the bird Instend of mov
ing about like lice and mites. They
iro usually found In clusters on tho
iomb, wattles, and nround the eyes.
Chicks, when Infested, ofton die quick

ind more resistant, will ceaso laying,
or nearly so, nnd sometimes dlo ns
the result of the nttacks.
"Stick-tight" fleas breed in cracks
and crevices of brood coops and poul
try houses, and dry animal or vegeta
ble refuse, but not In damp or wet
places. Therefore, to get rid of them
It Is necessary to clenn nnd spray the
houses and runs thoroughly, as well as
to treat the birds, say poultry special

OYSTER SHELLS ARE NEEDED
Lime Is Essential for Hens to Manu
facture Eggs Fowls Will Bal
ance Own Ration.
Pullets and hens do better for hnv
Ing oyster shell as a regular part of
their ration. This was proved by tho
New York experiment station sonio
years ngo, when a poultry writer con
demned the use of oyster shell ns un
necessary. It was proved thnt n pound of oyster
shell contains enough lime to manu
facture about seven dozen eggs. This
shou'd not be fed in the mash. Fowls
know more about what they need to
eat than wo do. If they have the
oyster shell, ground bone, men't scraps
and grit In hoppers before them, with
n variety of ground grains In dry
mash, they will balance their ration
better than wo can balance It for
them.
DUST BATH VERY IMPORTANT
To Control Chicken Lice It Is Neces
sary That Fowls Be Given Some
Light Material.
One lmportnnt condition In control
ling chicken lice Is to glvo tho fowlB
abundant opportunity to dust them
selves. For this purpose, dust, nlr
slaked lime, ashes, or uny light, dusty
material Is suitable. Fresh, slightly
damp (but not wet) earth In which
to scrntch or dust should always be
available, t
TURKEYS ARE HARD TO RAISE
Reason Is Because Poults Are Allowed
to Become Chilled or Damp
and Infested.
Many people say that turkeys are
too hard to raise, and fewer of them
are raised from the number of eggs
set than any other kind of fowl. This
Is almost lUwijys because the little
poults are allowed to get ehllled or
damn or lous.v during the llrst month
or six weeks. After that age turkeys

For over, two centuries the Channel
