FATTENING POULTRY FOR COMING HOLIDAY RUSH Clemson College, No 11. —The chickens that are fat vill be the ones that will bring ‘he highest price on the market during the holiday trade. Always she fat ones are bought before the poor ones.- ISo warns D. H. Hail. Extension j ' Poultry Husbandman, in discussing < the fattening of poultry for market. < | The fattening ration's! f birds is ] ’ very simple, says Mr. Hall. You have enough protein to build up . muscle, but the carbohydrates con tent should be high. A soft feed • or mash should be fed in order to make the muscles as soft as possi- I ble. The following ration will make a good fattening food. 50 ponds corn meal 25 pounds wheat bran 25 pounds middlings Mix the above with two parts s buttermilk. When buttermilk is . not available, meat scrap can be ■™~ .4- I, 4-lx ■r< -x.xx ~~ ■xx *> xx 4- 4- l-i xx v» xx 4- XX mixed with this ration at the rate j of 15 pounds per 100 and water | used to moisten the mash. , Young fowls stand confinement well, but old hens do not. It is j best to fatten young fowls in j coops and old hens in small runs, i j A fowl on fattening ration should gain from 50 to 90 percent of its ; c wn weight. Conversation is a great thing.

Six years ago today in If Kidneys Act Bad Take Salts Says Backache Often Means You Have Not Been Drinking Enough Water When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it may mean you have been eating foods which create acids, says a well-known author ity. An excess a such acids overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kid neys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels, removing all the body’s urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy ; your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is*cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physi cian at once or get from your pharma cist 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, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help clean and stimulate sluggish kid neys, also to neutralize acids in the system, so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, can not in jure and makes a delightful, efferves cent lithia-water drink. Drink lots of soft water. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year. Americus and all other towns and, cities excitement was at its heig. t,| crowds thronged the streets, earn-, ival spirit reigned everywhere. The, people were glad and ha-py that tnei great war had ended; a war that if it had continued would have involv ed the entire world and would have eventually drifted to our own shores. Today we are not celebrating, half of us have even forgotten what the day staands for and the statue to the boys who lost tneir lives fightin gfor us decorated by the American Legion with flowers and flags is the only remt.idei we have that six years ago today the great est suffering that tlie civilized world had known was brought to an. end.
