Worry Is the dark cloud of life. Worry, In fact. Is one of nature’s very meanesi tricks. Take your own worries, for ex­ ample. Be honest with yourself. Check buck on them. Tabuluie the things that have kept you awake at night; that have disturbed your di gestion; that have at one time or an­ other shaken you And what do you find? Nothing.

OLD SOAK IS HAPPY Liverpool Police to Use Shields THE DEATH FLOWER I a beautiful flower that T HERE belles its looks Its power to cre­ s One of Most Important Points in Growing Pullets. j Clean ground for ranging Is one of the moat Important points In tha growing o f healthy pullets which will become vigorous and profitable lay­ ers. It Is pointed out by the poultry husbandry department of the Ohio State university. “ A large percentage o f the mortal­ ity In the growing flock, as well a* In the matured laying Hoi k, la caused either directly or Indirectly by Intes­ tinal parasites,” P. B. Zuiubro, poul­ try specialist, says In a recent exten­ sion service publication. “These par­ asites, as well as many disease germs, ara carried over from year to rear In the soil." Zumbro urges that chick ranges be on land on which no other chicks hav* been raised or old hens ranged, for at least two years Alfalfa, he says, makes one o f the beat chick ranges. Clover la almost as good, and blue grass comes next. “ Many poultry men think an alfalfa or clover field la too valnabl* for rearing chicks This Is a mistake. Pooltry grown on good range will give a return equal to that from any live stock, or better. Good re­ sults can be obtained by having two or more ranges, and a crop can be grown In the meantime. This meth­ od will provide clean range and will enable the owner to bave tbe brooder boose near the farmhouse, saving time In going to and from tbe bouse. When this method la used, one acre o f land should be provided for each 500 ch ick s" Wonderful Feats With Turkeys Are Reported Really wonderful results with turk­ eys are reported from tbe Ontario government turkey farm In Norfolk county. Years ago this province used to raise turkeys by tbe thousands but disease got in and flocks bave been diminishing to such an extent that each year thousands o f birds are brought in from the West. Tbe dis­ ease puzxled people and except where there was unlimited range the rais­ ing o f turkeys languished. Even In the places where there wa* plenty of range, such aa in tbe rocky districts on tbe edge o f forest landa, difficul­ ties In the shape o f foxes and wolves were encountered. It looked for a while as If there would be practical­ ly no turkeys raised In Ontario. But Prof. W. R. Graham took hold o f the thing and he soon found out that the disease came from the ground and the germs were so hardy that they could live over In the coldest weather. He adopted the plan of feeding every­ thing In troughs and moving these troughs each day and his results bave been unusually successful. Losses have been light on tbe experimental tnrkey farm and some excellent birds raised. SAME PRESCRIPTION HE WROTE IN 1892 When I)r.

Effort of the Artist Not Always Understood The artist who recently told how, when painting a landscape at the foot of the PentlaDds, he was asked by tha occupants of a cottage nearby not to paint tbe cottage windows till dead curtains were put up, now tells of am other Incident which occurred to blm. He was painting a landscape when a man appeare«J on tbe scene and looked over nis shoulder in the annoying man­ ner o f passers-by who silently criticize —or maybe admire—the incomplete picture. The man produced a pair of horn-rimmed spectacles, through which his eyes ogled at the canvas. Then he removed the “ headlamp*” to ob­ serve In a marked American accent: “ You'll excuse me for saying so, but I'm curious to know jest what makes you fellers paint these things, when there are to many to be bought up easy and cheap.” —Montreal Family Herald.
