Mercury and potash ONLY SERVE AS A MASK FOR CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON They hide its repulsive fonn, and this serpent disease, stupefied by these drugs, lies dormant until the effects have worn off or treatment is discontinued, when it breaks down the mask and becomes as full of life and Mercury nnd Potash may dry up the sores and eruptions, but at the same time nicy anve me poison oacic into the blood and system, where it feeds upon the tender tissues, membranes and nerves, finally breaking out in most disgusting sores and even destroying the flesh and boues. Mercury and Totash cannot accomplish a radical and permanent cure. They have a palliative but not curative effect upon this treacherous snake like disease.

View of the Advoontca of the Lnrse Ilouae anil the Small House. M. Sunnier Perkins writes to The Poultry Menthly: "I bollt've In poultry colonization that Is to Any, ninny small coops and liouncs scattered over large areas and occupied by few fowls rather than a few very largo houses occupied by many fowls. Better put 1,000 fowls liito r0 different houses than Into only two or three larife houses, oveu If tho latter really contains thvsamo area as tho former. Wo don't want too many under tho satno roof. It is the same case us It Is with tho human habita tions In congested city qutirtorg, the so called tenements or rookeries whero men, women nnd children are so hud dled together that they arrive ut nei ther physical nor meutal staudaids of proper development. So with poultry. It won't do to crowd them. Thoy uocd abundant air upaco nnd to bo so sep arated Into small numburs as to avoid contagion from dlseaso. The Rinnll Iso lated houso Is the Ideal plan at nil .times and especially us summer comos on foraging mom Is needed and u lib eral ni mi for eneh.eoiony of birds. Un der such conditions strong breeding stock and vigorous laying stock may bo maintained. It Is very good policy to have light coops and fencing built In sections so as to bo taken apart and put together at will." Tho editor of Tho Monthly responds ns follows; "We publish tho nbovo not beoauso wo believe It or Indorse It In toto, but bccaiiRo we wish to give oil sides of such questions. The colony houso has Its. place', especially .for breeding stock, Its greatest-ndviimago being that It al lows the use of larger ynrds In connec tion theniwlth than uro possible In cuwiuatlou with u loug houso cut Into lomparutlvi'ly narrow pons. Hut for bouses for laying stock, especially where hens are kept by tho thousand, and more especially for wlnlor laying, theo colony houses count well ulgli be ing, impracticable. "TJic assumption lu tho ubovo that the fowls ure crowded or suffer from Impure air or disease simply peoause they aro In largo houses In large num bers Is cntrlrely wrong. Home of tho worst cases of overcrowdlug nnd tilth and disease we lmvoVvor seen or hoard of were- in small housos. The compari son betweeu the orowdod city tone meats and large poultry houses would have had moro. force u quarter of a oentury ago. Today some of tha most sanitary dwellings In tho world arc Koine of tbeso modern city tanpments and apartment houses. Tho average nnnltrvman will ke a largo houso cleaner than he, w.Ill a tlot of small hquses.of equal .capacity 'simply be cause be can do It easier. On the score 1 of economy of material, of tlmo and of I lalrar the lopg house Is ahead. U Is cheaper to build and cheaper to care ' for nud keep In repair. It Is less ex i posed to storms In winter, nnd every- I thing can bo better kept under the cyo of 'tho overseer. Le.t soino of the ndvo cats of colony houses try to care for 1,000 hens each kept In 50 colony houses In separate yards during some of our northern winters. Let them Visit these houses several times dally to feed.i water nudeenn platforms and replenish grlt-nud shell boxes and sup ply new litter and spray the roosts and gather eggs nnd n few other details, nud pome one would be looking for all ot her Job before many weeks had pass ed. It Is well to havo some colony houses. Thoy nre good for tho breed ing stock during spring and summer. They are good for the young stock during tlie growing season. But when It comes to keeping hens by the thou sands In houses accommodating only 20 each they arc not what are wanted. The long house Is the only ouc (o ecou oinlr.o Inbor, allow tho usotof labor sav ing devices nnd reduce ro.t of care to tlit minimum ' hie ns a lower grade, but If mixed with white the lot will bo classed ns Inferior. Hen nnd goose feathers are treated tit the same way, each kind by Itself al ways. It Is usually reckoned that this other- wisq wnsto product -will pay for half the picking except In, the ense of Rcnld ed liens, whin It does not pay to bother With the fentheis. Dry picked hens brlpg only 10 cents nt the highest and generally nqt more than 7 cents. All, feathers tlnd a ready sale to Job hcrq and pillow manufacturers. It Is well to send samples to different concerns when joti liave them for sate, and they will make the price according to quality a they see It. Oftentimes one firm will give more thnn another for the same goods. Thomas U. Tay lor In Farm Poultry. Poultry Ynril. Black pools In the barnyard arc poor watcrlug places for the fowls. Work Is the main factor In successful poultry raising. Don't shirk. A good gamoco?k Is about as good ns a1 guinea for scaring hawks nud crows and not so noisy. The heno that molt early arc the ones that you should keep, for they will lay lu winter, when eggs are most In demand. Now, bewnro of rotten milk nnd spoiled messes. Soino peoplo seem to think that fowls belong tq the buzzard family. What pnsses far cholera Is often the result of cxpostiro without shade to the Inlcnso heat. Brahmas nud Cochins and all big, heavily feathered fowls arc lia ble to heat prostration. If the enrly chickens arc to lay before cold weather sets lu, they sbonjd be well cared .for at this season. Give them plenty of food, plenty of roottl nud good nlr. Sell off tho old bona be fore they begin to molt. 5N INDUSTRIAL CITt tilled with vrnss plots Tii tTic cchtc"r7 The other street run nt right angles. Allowing Air the maximum, growth of the city provision Ik made for tlireo school hu.lldlugs, and In connection with each H u lnrge public recreation ground. This feature 1ms especially loiuinciided Itself to the architects ntid promoters, since It has been so highly nppimcd In the large eastern cities. I here are also u number of small re serves In the residence district thnt may be utilized for similar or other needed purposes. In addition to tho piovlslous mado for common schools and u high school, the board of direct ors also has In mind the establishment of a technical school for training In si-lcntlllc nnd skilled trades. The paramount feature of the whole plan Is the provision for homes for la borers. As much If not more attention has been paid to this phase of tho sub urb than liny other. It is tho Intention to make tho homes lu tho Industrial city the most desirable, convenient and comfortable. The proposed plan Is to furnish these homes with light, heat (uid water from the central power plant at a nominal cost. The board of directors named lu tho prospectus arc well known gentlemen of tho highest business stnndlug, nnd not a single one of them would lend hla t-nnio to n doubtful enterprise. Tho pint will contain 23 factory sites, all ly ing along the north side of the grounds. South of tho factory district will bo tho residence nnd business part of tho city.

Between those two dates tho fighting was uninterrupted and dogged, mid It Is of those sovuti days of strain, with thousand charg ing, tiring, dying, along the crest of the mnuntnlim, that one who was present will think when lie hears the battle of Hplnn Ivop mentioned lu after days.
