AT REST.
They srers passing through a graveyard,
aJld ths monuments so white.
And were readmit the Inscriptions
As they (lanced from left to right
And they stopped beside a irreen vrava
Where were flowers of the best
And read beneath a woman's nam
Ths simpls words MAt Rest."
Twaa time that Mary had a rest,"
8ald one who stopped to weep.
"Sh never had a chance to rest
Nor got a good night's sleep.
With her husband and her babies
And the house to keep aright,
Why, ths poor soul had no moment
For her comfort day or night
"Must feel good to her to rest one
After ail those weary years
With their burdens and their labors
And their troubles and their tears.
"Lovely flowers they have placed there.
At her foot and at her head.
What a pity that they waited
Until Mary dear was dead!"

SKIMMILK NUTRITIVE.
Those who think sktminilk has little
nutritive value have another guess
coming. Of course It's not so yellow
and frothy because the cream, or fat,
has been removed. But that's Just
like trimming the fat off a bam steak
the lean, or valuable food constituents,
remain.
Sklmmilk still contains the nitro
genous substance, or building mate
rial, the protein that makes for mus
cle, blood, frame, life.
Skimmilk, however blue looking and
distasteful to epicures, is healthful,
strengthening food for man and is ex-

cellent for fattening fowls and grow
ing stock, being so easily digested and
quickly turned to growth.
The Indiana experiment station re
cently proved its worth as a grower
for young chickens.
Two lots of young Rocks and Hou
dans a month old were given the same
grains, greens and meat foods, and In
addition half of them received all the
skimmilk they could drink.
It was soon discovered that the lot
fed skimmilk had a better digestion,
ate more of the mixed food and made
a more- satisfactory growth, their
weekly gains being 4.40 ounces, the
others gaining but 2.G2 ounces per
week.
The most rapid growth occurred
when most skimmilk was consumed.
Skimmilk is especially good for chick
ens in hot weather, but chicks must be
kept out of it as it is a detriment
when daubed on their plumage, and
the vessels must be scalded often to
keep them sweet
The vessel shown Is excellent
Chicks and dirt cannot get Into it
Only a small quantity is exposed at a
time, and the milk is kept shaded and
cool.
DONTS.
Don't kick the bucket over one fail
ure. People are making mistakes every
day, but it's only fools that make the
same mistake twice.
Don't go into the poultry business
without practical experience unless
you have plenty of money to spend for
your mistakes.
Don't forget to clean up that poultry
yard, and this doesn't mean Just rak
ing. Filthy ground should be removed
and replaced with fresh, or it should
be plowed under and planted to quick
growing greens.
Don't let a wounded fowl remain
with the flock. Hens will sometimes
eat the whole comb off a rooster that
has been Injured by fighting.
Don't let the turkeys take care of
their lice. You'll be taking care of
their remains If you do.
Don't let squabs sit In filth. It's a
sin, a shame, an inane and insane
method.
Don't try too many side Issues along
with your poultry. Too many Irons in
the fire prevent nany from doing one
thing well.
" A MODEL FOR YOU.
t a btc fluffy hen that i a dandy.
8hs always does her best
She doesn't sport any fancy frills
Nor wear a rounded crest
But whea she scratches she crooks hsff
toes.
And the dickens Is t i pay.
Tou'd think she d scratch the barnyard
And the garden all away.
And when she lays vh. my, what !
And she lays when eK are high.
Her esirs are firsts you bet they're, best
And make swell pumpkin pie.
And when she hatches oh. iroodness me!
She sits till the cows come home
But, oh, the chicks that she brlnira out!
They'r dandy and then some!
And when she's In love she's In lore, oft,
my!
She has roosters by ths score.
And. like the seaside summer girl,
She's always hunting for mors.
Oh. no. Sir Sluggard, don't go to the aat
For leesons In Industry!
Ths ant's not In It with ths hen,
Just take that tip from me.
Ths hen brings In a billion a year.
You bet she Is a prise!
So go to Kiddy and learn ths trick.
And then do thou likewise.

THE POULTRY DOCTOR SAYS
Doping all the hens In a flock be
cause one dies or Is sick is a peculiar
and foolish method of some fanciers.
This generally puts the whole bunch
off their feed and sto laying, and
these conditions confirm the dor
fiend's funny opinion that they'Tw all
got It, and so he dopes them again. It's
far better to remove the sick fowL
clean np and disinfect study the flock
and especially to scrutinlxe oue's meth
ods closely, for it's often what is fed
and how it's fed that brings sickness
among the flock.
"Cholera" is a term often applied to
poultry disease in summer, but there
Is mighty little cholera among the
fowls of this country. These Intestinal
troubles, this indigestion, that some
what resembles cholera, have their
cause mostly in rank, rotten yards,
lack of shade and greens, dirty drink
ing water, hot sleeping quarters, multi
plying lice and mites and feeding too
much heat fat producing corn in warm
weather.
The plaster droppings of ducks that
soon cover the whole surface of a yard
should be systematically removed dur
ing the development of the duckling
or serious results, such as intestinal or
rheumatic troubles, develop or the
stamina of the stock Is lowered.
We have seen 100 ducks die in two
days, and an Investigation showed it
was not the feed, as supposed, but the
microbial mess through which the
quacks waddled every day and which
fertilized the desert air with its awful
stench.
Tnless very hungry, hens will not of
ten Oil up on mash that Is too wet, be
cause they Beora to knetw it Is not
wholesome. Same with a mash where
moldy ingredients are nsed. Both
mean Intestinal irritation and scours.
Feeding small chicks and turkey
poults sloppy feeds is a cause of much
mortality on farms. The majority of
poultrymen feed nothing wet to chicks.
To be right a mash must not only be
composed of good grain products, bnt
should be crumbly and of such consist
ency as not to stick to the hands.
FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS.
The Iowa State college at Ames now
holds free poultry clinics, where pool
try diseases are diagnosed and in
vestigated. Solomon didn't live In the
age of progressive poultry culture or
he wouldn't have said, "There's noth
ing new under the sun."
Lice and cholera germs flourish most
in hot weather, and both by a little
work may be prevented. Running for
remedies and cleaning up when a flock
is down with contagious disease is
certainly a ridiculous and fruitless pro
ceeding and exhibition of bow not to
do It.
The country boys and girls of Minne
sota are taking a poultry census of the
state for the state agricultural college.
These young people will make a thor
ough Job of it. It will be the first
complete poultry census taken, and
we advise other states to follow Min
nesota's lead.
In every neighborhood there are al
ways some who point the long finger
when any one tries to farm or dairy
or raise poultry or fruit by advanced
methods. These weeping Jeremiahs
who are always prophesying failure for
progressive people generally arrive at
their conclusions from facts In their
own unsuccessful personal experience.
One hundred and twenty-four stu
dents made a specialty of poultry cul
ture at the University of Missouri the
past term. Fifty-eight Missouri conn
ties and six outside states were rep
resented. A feast today anal a famine tomor
row will upset the digestion and egg
production of any hen. This method
neither works with hen nor men.
A male bird Is often rendered sterile
by the strain attending too much ex
hibiting. Eggs from your pens, wheth
er set In Incubators or under hens,
should be tested for fertility. This
will often save time that would be
wasted in setting worthless eggs and
also selling eggs that can't hatch.
The beginner Is often disappointed
when he discovers every egg doesn't
hatch a winner. He may buy a setting
of eggs for $20 and not get a perfecto
from the lot He learns later that phe
nomenal birds are not the rule, that his
best breeders do not always breed true
and that ancestry will show. Just the
same with humans, where a red beaded
baby may be traced back to a great-great-great-grandmother
without an
other bricktop between.
