A PALE-FACED GIRL 
wants more red in her blood." 
If subject to dizziness, faint¬ 
ing and shortness of breath 
on slight exertion, no doubt 
remains. Your doctor will 
confirm this. Her food is 
not nourishing her; she needs 
a change. The best change 
and the best nourishment she 
can get is Scott’s Emulsion. 
Her food soon has the upper 
hand; her blood is enriched; 
her color returns. We never 
yet heard of a pale-faced girl 
who didn’t get new strength, 
new vigor and new color from 
Scott’s Emulsion.

CONSUMPTION 
A MISSOURI HEN MAN. 
Last November I went to the poultry 
market in the town here and bought at 
different times until I have now 28 pullets 
and hens. They were the best grade Plymouth 
Rocks (Barred) that I could pick up. Of 
course they were chickens and hens that 
the farmers were unloading for Thanksgiving 
market. I began to feed them corn, oats, 
bran, linseed meal and cracklings from the 
butcher. At first I fed mash in the morn¬ 
ing, but noticing that they “loafed” the rest 
of the morning I changed, and have fed ever 
since the mash at about 3.30 p. m. The 
house is an old barn with a wagon shed in 
front facing the south, and three rooms back 
which I have converted into a roosting pen 
on east, laying room next and a roosting place 
for my roosters on the west. I keep my 
roosters separated from the hens. The roost¬ 
ing room is 6 x 12 and papered with heavy 
building paper all around and overhead, 
with tight floor. The other two rooms are 
papered on Inside also, but not boarded over 
paper; simply tacked up with lath. All ex¬ 
pense in fixing up old barn was about $10. 
I have back of house a lot 150 x 100 feet in 
which house (or barn) is located. This 
will I think accommodate 100 hens when I 
can get house room for them. At least It 
will give them as much room as many have. 
The system of feeding I use is simple; about 
one quart of corn mixed with 1(4 quart of 
oats dry, covered In the straw in the scratch¬ 
ing shed in morning; about 1 (4 pound 
cracklings at noon; frequently a quart of 
scalded oats at about 1 p. m.; then a bucket 
full of mash at 3.30 p. m. Mash is com¬ 
posed of one-third bucket chopped clover, 
about 114 quart of oats, and two quarts bran 
scalded and mixed dry. They clean It up 
completely. In January I got 220 eggs, many 
of the pullets not having begun to lay, so far 
this month (February) they have averaged 
II per day; the most 15 and the least eight 
per day. This Is not a tremendous yield, but 
very good considering my flock. If they had 
been bred for several years for a laying 
strain, they might do better, but they were 
simply picked up in the market as they were 
brought In by the farmers. 
I wish to get as pure a strain of Barred 
Rocks as I can and have expected to buy 
eggs for hatching, but these hens have laid 
so well I am in doubt as to whether that 
would be best, or to mate with good male 
and set my own eggs. We are too far from 
market to get first-class prices. I sell mostly 
to retail trade; could find market for five 
dozen per day easily and perhaps more. 
Missouri. L. A. D. 
R. N.-Y.—We would use the best of those 
hens and a good male bird from some careful 
breeder as a breeding pen. 
TREATMENT FOR ROUP. 
I have a nice flock of chickens and some 
of them have the roup. What shall I give 
them to cure this disease? F. Q. 
Dover, N. J. 
Separate your roupy fowls at once from 
the others. Give them plenty of warm, nour¬ 
ishing food, and always keep a supply of 
pure water before them. Swab out the dis¬ 
eased membranes with two per cent solution 
of carbolic acid, which any druggist can pre¬ 
pare, and force some of the solution through 
the nostrils with a small spring oil can. Re¬ 
peat twice a day. Be careful not to let any¬ 
thing used about the diseased fowls lie 
around where the well ones can get at it. 
Roupy fowls often recover, but remain for 
a long time in poor condition. Many poultry 
men think It Is cheaper to kill off the roupy 
fowls than to bother with attempts to treat 
them. 
I keep quite a number of fowls, and this 
year they are troubled with roup. The rem¬ 
edy that I have used before with good re¬ 
sults has failed this year. Can you tell me 
what to do for them? f. g. c. 
Baldwinsville, N. Y. 
There has been much written on the sub¬ 
ject of roup, and many and various are the 
remedies given. But at the risk of being 
called a crank on the subject I advise anyone 
to kill all birds that develop real roup, which 
can easily be told by the offensive odor, the 
swollen heads and eyes becoming blind. Take 
“colds” in time and they can be cured, or 
better yet, prevent them if possible, by hav¬ 
ing houses dry and clean. Use some of the 
“roup cures” in the drinking water when 
you first observe signs of colds, but In a well- 
developed case of roup use the ax, and as you 
get more and larger flocks of hens you will 
see the wisdom of this advice. 
FI.OYD Q. WHITE. 
Cinders for Muskrats.—I noted some one 
making inquiry how to get rid of muskrats 
in a pond. About 20 years ago there was a 
railroad built through my place, and in con¬ 
sideration of giving them dirt to make a fill 
they made me a very fine pond. In a year 
or two it looked as tho.ugh the muskrats 
would ruin it. I tried trapping them to little 
purpose. They seemed to come faster than 1 
could catch them. The railroad company 
brought a carload or two of coal cinders and 
shoveled it down the bank and the rats left, 
and I have not been troubled with them 
since. The cinders run Unto their holes and 
fall in as fast as they scratch them out. If 
your inquirer is in a position to get the cin¬ 
ders it is certainly better than trapping, for 
when you trap them one year they may come 
back the next year. n. f.

Eczema Afflicts Family. 
Father and Five Children Suffered For 
Two Years With Terrible Eczema- 
Wonderful Cure by Cuticura. 
“My husband and live children were all 
afflicted with eczema. They had it two 
years. We used all the home remedies 
we could hear of, without any relief, and 
then went to a physician and got medicine 
two different times, and it got worse. It 
affected us all over except head and hands. 
We saw Cuticura Remedies advertised 
and concluded to try them. So I sent for 
$1.00 worth, consisting of one cake of 
Cuticura Soap, one box of Ointment and 
one vial of Pills, and we commenced to 
use them. I do not know how to express 
my joy in finding a cure, for two of my 
children were so had that they have the 
brown scars on their bodies where they 
were sore. Mrs. Maggie B. Hill, Stevens, 
Mason Co., W. Va., June 12, 1905.”
