The majority o f poultry keepers ad­
vocate the morning mash, but after con­
siderable experimenting I have come to
\ the conclusion that the
best time to
feed the mash is at noon. I f the hens
are given all the mash they w ill eat or
even n h alf feed o f It in the morning,
they w ill seek the warmest corner of
the poultry house and sit Idle for the
greater part o f the morning. A hen
Jthat is not made to work for the great­
er part o f her liv in g w ill never be a
prolific layer.
The principal objection to feeding the
wash at night is that it digests too
quickly, thus not furnishing as much
warmth to the fow l as the whole grain.
Another objection is that beginners are
apt to think that a hen may be fed
all the mash she can eat in the evening
‘with safety.
This is wrong, as the
‘hens do not exercise in eating soft feed,
and therefore on goiug to roost with a
fu ll crop they have got the greater part
o f their daily ration without working
(for It.
But if the mash is fed at noon a very
little should L»e given ; also the morning
feed should be light, with a full feed
¡of whole grain at night. The follow ing
j ¡manner o f feeding has proved very sat­
isfactory with me this winter; A fter
the hens have gone to roost I scatter
| iwhole grain in the litter and rake it in
with itn iron rake. I use equal parts
by measurement of cracked corn, wheat
and oats for this feed and give one
handful to every three hens. A t noon
g iv e a tnasli of equal parts o f ground
irnlU and cut clover or vegetables. Give
il>out one quart o f the mash, after It
ias been mixed with water, to fifteen
hens. At night give mixed grains, as
In the morning, only give a full hand-
!ful to each fowl. Under this method
o f feeding llje fow ls are kept hungry
until the full feed at night and are
Continually scratching through the day
for some stray grain. 1 believe that
there is more danger o f overfeeding
than underfeeding fowls, especially
with beginners.—E. P. Tabor, Jr., In

“ One o f the most baneful things I
know anything about,” says a writer
in the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
“ is the evil o f cheap and adulterated
wiues and liquors.
Really It would
be interesting to know how many
frauds are practiced by the men who
are engaged In retailing the various
brands o f wines and whiskies a n d !
cordials and things of that sort.
It
would be more interesting and yet
more shocking to know the vast
amount of harm which results from
the sale o f adulterated wines, cheap |
ened whiskies and other liquid refresh
incuts which are sold over the bar.
“ Recently there has been a consider
able amount of talk by experts with
reference to the use o f wood alcohol.
There is really no telling to what ex
tent wood alcohol is used in wiues.
Take many o f the wines that are
brought within the reach o f the poorer
families, and in nine cases out o f ten
it will be found that some process of
cheap and injurious adulteration has
been resorted to in oruer to preserve
the taste and color of the wine while
bringing it within reach o f the poorer
classes.
I f physicians are right in
what they say about the bad effect o f '
adulterating ingredients, then it would
not be safe to even guess at the aw ful
consequence o f using these liquids.

W ine of Cirdui is a regulator of the
menstrual functions and is a most as­
tonishing tonic for women. It cures
scanty, suppressed, too frequent, irreg­
ular and painful menstruation, falling
of the womb, whites and flooding. It
is helpful when approaching woman­
hood, during pregnancy, after child­
birth and in change of life. It fre­
quently brings a dear baby to homos
