The Great Spring Medicine
In thousands of homes, for more than thirty years, Hood's Sarsaparilla
has been taken, as a Spring Medicine, by every member of the family.
Peculiar to Itself in what it is and what it does, it combines the best
blood purifiers, appetizers and tonics, and effects complete cures of
Sprint Ailments all blood diseases, pimples, eruptions, eczema,
scrofula, all stomach, liver and kidney complaints, loss of appetite, that
tired feeling, all low or run-down conditions of the system.
Hood's Baxsapaxilla effects its wonderful cures, not simply because it
contains sarsaparilla, but because it combines the utmost remedial values
of more than 20 different ingredients, each greatly strengthened and en
riched by this peculiar combination. These ingredients are the very rem
edies that successful physicians prescribe for the same diseases and ail
ments. There is no real substitute for Hood's Sarsaparilla. If urged to
buy any preparation said to be "just as good," you may be snre it is in
ferior, costs less to make, and yields the dealer a larger profit.
Begin taking Hood's Sarsaparilla today, in the usual liquid form or in
the chocolated tablets known as Sarsatabs. 100 Doses One Dollar.

Bo a "New Farmer."
The farm problem of America Is not
In bursting barns nor high bred stock.
nor sol fertility, nor even In the rural
school, but In the farmer himself.. Its
solution Is In the individual known as
the new farmer. The dreary drudgery
of the old farm existence Is fast pass-
tag away, and In Its place la coming a
broad, rich, free livelihood, never known
before "the new country life." The "strictly fresh" eggs are almost unob

the new farmer builds for his wife and velopment of cold storage facilities has
children a modern, sanitary, attractive
home ; the new farmer makes hard
roads. He installs a telephone, receives
his mall by free delivery and encour-
ages Interurban service, supports a
thriving rural church and demands an
efficient consolidated school with a high
school course for his sons and daugh
ters at home. The new farmer reads
and thinks: be studies his own environ
ment, sees his opportunity 'and limita
tions ; improves the one and removes
the other. The new farmer Is not only
a scientist, but a sociologist He works
In harmony with his neighbors for the
general good and uplift of his imme
diate community, and above all else he
realizes the dignity and Importance of
his own profession and Individuality In
the permanent and national welfare.

Give the cows plenty of outdoor air

It la false economy to turn stock on

be paid for later by the shortness of

Incubator Chicks.
Chicks must be kept clean either
with hens or In a brooder. To clean
them every day is not too .often. The
heat from the brooder makes droppings
produce foul nlr, as do hens when
brooding chicks. ' Give no feed until
the clutch is at least thirty-six hours
old. They do not need it for the yolk
absorbed Just before batching provides
them until that age. Leave them in
the Incubator or nnder bens until ready
to give the first feed, which should be
fine gravel or sand on- the bottom of
the coop or brooder. They will eat
quite a lot of It, and It provides the
gizzard with grit to grind food. '

Is a good horse. Never buy a horse
that takes short, nervous steps or
which baa a mincing gait. Such a horse
cannot stand bard work on the road
and is always hard , on his rider or
