She must eat first In order to maintain her body, keeping up her normal temperature and providing for the repair of her tissues. A large proportion of her total feed goes into milk production. Reproduction calls for another Important supply of nutrition. When the cow is dry. she should be fattened because just after she has freshened, she actually produces more milk than she eats feed to produce, and must have a reserve on her body. Finally, she must eat to grow, because the average large cow is a better producer than the average small cow. for the Specific recommendations meeting of all these demands for the flairy cow are Included in one of the bulletins issued by the extension service of the Ohio State university, Bulletin No. 72, entitled, "Feeding Dairy Cattle."

The best results cannot be obtained with any feed which is not well relished by the cow; consequently any unpalatable In successful feed to be used should be mixed with those that are appetizing. In making the groin mixture care should be exercised that too large a quantity of either constipating or laxative feed is not Included. Cottonseed meal, for example, is decidedly constipating and should be fed with laxative groins or succulence, such as silage or roots. For ordinary feeding of the grain not more than should be cottonseed meol. In some sections large quantities have been fed. but this practice Is not to be recommended.

Our blood is filled with acids which the kidneys strive to filter out; they weaken from overwork, become sluggish, the ellmlna-tivtissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decilie in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead ; your back hurts or the nrlne is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are oblfgefl to seek relief two or three times during the night; if yon suffer with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or if yon have rheumatism when the weather is bad, begin drinking lots of good soft water and get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts. Take a tablespoonful In a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, com blned with lithla, and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids In the system so they no longer are a source of irritation, thus often relieving bladder disorders. Jad Salts is Inexpensive, cannot injure, makes a delightful effervescent r drink and belongs In every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time. e OLD FOLKS SAY DR. CALDWELL WAS RIGHT The basis of treating sickness hat not changed since Dr. Caldwell left Medical College in 1875, nor since be placed on the market the laxative prescription he had used in his practice. He treated constipation, biliousness, headaches, mental depression, indigestion, sour stomach and other indispositions entirely by means of simple vegetable laxatives, herbs and roots. These are still the basis of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, a combination of senna and other mild herbs, with pepsin. The simpler the remedy for constipation, the safer for the child and for you. And as you can get results in a mild and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with strong drugs? A bottle will last several months, and all can use it. It is pleasant to the taste, gentle in action, and free from narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal. All drug stores have the generous bottles, or write "Syrup Pepsin," Dept BB, Monticello, Illinois, for free trial bottle. , Different Iiucation.

Any little disturbance in the night sets them to cackling, and therefore chicken thieves usually give a wide berth to the flock housed with guineas. Guinea eggs hatch In from 25 to 28 days, and usually all hatch at about the same time. They are remarkably fertile and almost every egg set will produce a guinea chick. They do better when set under chicken hens, as they can usually be given better care. The guinea hen will sit and hatch well, but as soon as the first ones hatched are able to travel she will often leave the nest, and the balance of her eggs. The Edelweii..

Poultry Plans Many people have found the budget very helpful In keeping their household accounts In shope but they htwe not yet adopted the same principle In their poultry business. One of the troubles with the way poultry Is kept on most farms Is too little planning of the work. Many people do not know how many chickens they are going to hatch or buy, what feeds they are going to use, how large a flock they want for the winter or how the birds are to be handled or marketed.
