Couldn’t Control Sneeze.
Margaret, age three und one-half
years and a continued early riser, had
repeatedly been warned to keep very
quiet when getting up In the morning,
in order m>( lo disturb her older sister,
who was convalescing from a recent
tonsil operation. About the third morn
ing. under the new regime of quiet
ness, as she was tip teeing across the
bedroom to tier mother, who was wait

violent and uncontrollable spell of
sneezing. As soon as, the paroxysm
was over, she raised troubled blue
eyes to her mother’s face and whis

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is vlmt so many products that are ex- !
tcmively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The i
reason is plain—the article did not fultill |
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been i
benefited, to those who are in need of it. j
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example l)r. Kilmer's Swamp Hoot, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every ease it shows excellent re
sults, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has'so large a \
sale."
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri- j
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address

FARMERS URGED TO RAISE GEESE |
Geese Need Litttle Feed Outside of Pasture During Greater Part of Year.
(Prepared by the United .States Department
of Agriculture.)
During the holiday Reason, when
the unctuous goose graces the largest
available platter, is the time to tldnk
of the advisability of growing a hunch
of these profitable birds for the tables
that will be spread for hungry fam
ilies another year. The goose pop
! illation in the United States has Veen
on the decline In recent years, hut
the United States Department of Ag
riculture expresses the opinion that
there are many furms on which a few
can he rulsud on pasture and other
feed that will scarcely be missed. Al
though the demand for feathers Is not
what it once was, and the eggs are
not In demand for cooking, these birds
are worth while as producers of de
licious meat. The objection has been
raised that the meat Is too oily, but
this condition Is largely due to Im
proper cooking, to failure to remove
the surplus fat of the abdominal cav
ity, nnd to not skimining off the grease
while cooking.
Grass Furnishes Bulk of Feed.
Where there is low, rough pasture
land with a natural supply of water,
geese can be raised at fl profit. They
are generally quite free from disease
and all insect pests, but they are oc
casionally affected by the diseases
common to poultry. Grass makes up
the bulk of the feed and it is doubt
ful whether It pays to raise them if
good grass range is not available. A
body of water where they can swim
Is considered essential during the
breeding season and is a good thing
during the rest of the year.
The market Is not so general us for
chickens, hut the demand and the
price are unusually good in localities
where goose fattening is conducted
on a large scale. However, a few
geese are desirable on many farms
where there is no such market. Ex
cept In winter and during stormy
weather, mature geese have little need
for n house. Breeders in the North,
and some in the South, use a shed
open to the south as a protection In
winter. Coops, barrels or other shel
ter are needed by goslings. The
houses may be kept clean by supply
ing plenty of straw for bedding.
From 4 to 25 geese may he pastured
on an acre of land, the number depend
! ing upon the quality of the pasture,
i Ten geese to the aero Is a fair aver
! age. Free range should be used
! wherever possible. In the South many
people use geese to help in keeping
down the weeds in the cotton fields.
Along about the first of February
geesa should get a ration suitable
j for egg production so that goslings
may lie hatched at about the time the
first pasture Is available. Nests may
ho made on the lloor of the house, or
In large boxes, barrels or other shel
i tors. It is desirable to collect the
j eggs dally nnd to keep them In a cool
I place where the contents will not
! evaporate too rapidly; If kept for
! some time they may he stored In loose
' bran.
The first eggs are usually set un
; dor hens, while the last ones the
i goose lays may lie hatched either un
! dor hens or under the goose if she
I goes broody. If tlie eggs are not re
moved from the nest where she Is
i laying she will usually stop laying
sooner than if they are taken away
j dally. The sitters may be broken up
If they are confined to n slat-bottom
| coop, with water to drink but no feed,
J for two to four days.
Some breeders prefer to raise nil the
! goslings with hens, as geese sometimes
become difficult to manage when al
lowed to hatch and rear their young,
liens used for hatching goose eggs
must be dusted with Insect powder
and have good attention ns the period
of Incubation for goose eggs Is longer
than for chicken eggs. Goose eggs
may be hatched In Incubators nnd
tlie gosling raised In brooders, but thts
Is nj»t a common practice.
From 28 to 30 days arc required to
hatch goose eggs. Moisture should be
added after the first week if tlie eggs
are set under hens or In incubators,
warm water being sprinkled on the
eggs or the nest. Incubators should
he run at temperature of 101.5 to
102.5 degrees Fahrenheit, or about I*4
degrees lower than for hens* eggs,
and the eggs should be cooled longer.
Four to six eggs arc put under a lien
and 10 to 13 under a goose. They
may be tested about the tenth day,
and those that are infertile or con
tain dead germs should he removed.
Goose eggs hutch slowly, especially
under hens, and the goslings are re
moved as soon ns hatched nnd kept
In a warm place until the hatching
Is over, when they an* put hgck under
the hen or goose.
After the eggs are all hatched some
bleeders give all the goslings to the
geese. Hens goslings may be
kept in coops and their charges al
lowed to range, but they are not al
lowed to Into the water until sev
eral days old. In mild weather they
will he able to look after themselves
when seven to ten days old. __ Coops
with board floors are desirable for
goslings and they should he protected
from their enemies and looked after
in case they get lost In their wander
ings about the farm.
Feeding the Young Birds.
Goslings do not feed until they are
24 to 30 hours old, when they may be
fed any of the mashes recommended
for chickens or for ducklings, or a
mash or dough of two-thirds shorts
or middlings and one-third corn meal,
which nfter six weeks may be made
equal parts shorts and corn meal and
5 per cent beef scrap. Bread and milk
Is also an excellent feed for goslings.
Fine grit is needed and may be pro
vided by using f> per cent of sharp
sand in the mash, or by keeping it
before them in a hopper.
If goslings are to be fattened give
them a rntion of one-third shorts and
two-thirds corn meal by weight, with
5 per cent of heef scrap added, and
a feed of corn at night.
In February, when the feeding for
eggs is begun, a ration made up of one
pound of corn meal, one of bran, one
of middlings or low-grade flour, and
10 per cent of beef scrap, which Is fed
In the morning, and equal parts of
corn and wjieat, or corn alone, fed
at night, will produce good results.
Grit and oyster shell may be pro
vided at all times, but they are es
sential during the laying period. In
winter and at other times when there
is no good pasture available, geese
may be given roughages such as cut
clover, hay, alfalfa, silage, cabbage,
mangels, or any waste vegetables.
PEAS REQUIRE MUCH SPACE
Smooth yarieties May Be Sown Early
or as Soon as Ground Is in
Shape to Work.
Peas are not adapted to growing
in very small gardens, as they require
much space. Most gardeners, how
ever, insist upon having a few short
rows of pens in their gardens. In
large gardens enough peas should be
planted to provide surplus for can
ning. The smooth varieties may be
sown very early or just as soon as the
ground is in shape to work In the
spring. The wrinkled varieties should
not be sown until the ground has
warmed slightly. Some of the dwarf
varieties can be grown without sup
ports, but the larger growing sorts re
quire brush, a wire trellis or some
form of support. The old-fashioned
English sugar pea on good soli will
grow to a height of 5 or 6 feet and
produce peas until midsummer. It
should he borne in mind that under
ordinary conditions peus do not with
stand great heat, and that they must
produce their crop before midsummer.
—United States Department of Agri
culture. •
WOOD ASHES MOST VALUABLE
Those Produced by Burning Hard
woods Like Hickory or Oak Con
tain Much Potash.
The use of coal ashes is permissible,
on heavy clay soils. However, they
should be screened and all coarse cin
ders removed before being applied, and
then should he spread evenly over the
surface and thordbghly mixed with the
soil as deep as it is plowed or spaded.
Coal ashes have little value as ferti
lizer, their use beiug mainly to loosen
the soil and make It more workable.
Wood ashes, especially those produced
by burning hardwoods like hickory,
maple, or oak, frequently contain as
high as 7 per cent potash, and are val
uable fertilizers. Those produced from
burning soft woods,’such as pine, and
also hardwood ashes that have been
exposed to the weather, have compara
tively little value as fertilizer. About
fit) pounds of dry, unbleached hard
wood ashes may he applied to a plot
of ground 30 by 60 feet in size, but
should be well mixed with the soil.
KEEP FOWLS FROM FREEZING
Prevent Trouble With Combs and
Wattles By Anointing With
Vaseline and Kerosene.
Frozen combs and wnttles of chick
ens may be prevented by anointing
with a salve made of equal parts of
va<elifle and kerosene, well mixed
Apply this at night during very cold
weather. Put It on thick In cases
where the combs and wattles are al

Us.
w --
1. The Syrian King Sorely Troubled
(vv. 8-12).
1. The King’s plan. (v. 8). His
method was a kind of guerrilla warfare \
—armed hands made incursions into j
the enemy's territory. He determined
as to where camps should be located
so as to Intercept Israel’s army. His
plan was clever, but his great mis- ;
take was that he left God out of his
calculations. There' is one place
where all plans and movements are
known (Heb. 4:13).
2. The enemy’s movements dis
closed (v. 9). The man of God, know
ing the enemy’s movements, was able
to tell the king about them. Elisha’s
advice was more than a match for
the wily plans of the shrewd Ben
hadttd. Israel's safety lay more in
the man of God than in their warriors.
3. The king of Israel heeded Elisha’s
word (v. 10). This was true wisdom.
By obeying the prophet's words he
saved himself and army many times.
Those who are truly wise heed the di- I
vine warnings.
4. The Syrian king’s perplexity
(vv. 11, 12). In Ills perplexity he as
sembled ills servants and demanded
that the traitor be made known. He
believed tliut some were playing into
the hands of the enemy; therefore
he would put an end to the treachery.
This was denied, and one of his ser
vants declared that the king’s move
ments were reported by Elisha the
prophet, even telling to the king of
Israel what Ben-hadad spake In his
bedchamber. Ben-hadad was worried
not because of ills sins, but because
his plans miscarried.
11. The Syrian King Tries to Trap
Eiisha (vv. 13-18).
1. He sent an army to capture him
(vv. 13, 14). Upon learning that
Elisha was making known his ac
tions, he determined to put an end to
the matter by trapping him and making j
him a prisoner. How foolish to put
human cunning against divine wis
dom. Horses and chariots are useless
when God is against us. God’s pur
poses cannot be thwarted. If God he
for us, who can be against us?
2. Elisha’s servant frightened (v. ;
15). When he awoke one morning .
he saw that an armed host was en- |
camping about the city. Viewed from |
the human standpoint, we do not |
wonder tliut lie was affrighted.
3. Elisha’s encouragement (v. 1C). I
He assured his servant that, though j
they were surrounded by the Syrian
army, there was a mightier host
of heavenly defenders round about
them. Elisha dkl not shut his eyes |
to the real danger, but looked to the
helpers of God watching about them. j
4. Elisha’s prayer (v. 17). He asked j
that the Lord would open the eyes of j
his servant so as to see spiritual j
things. When the Lord opened the i
eyes of the young mail he saw that j
“the mountain was full of horses and >
chariots of tire round about Elisha.” :
Round about us all the while are !
angels guarding us from danger.
5. The Syrians smitten with blind
ness (v. 18). The same God who
opened the eyes of the young man, j
blinded the eyes of the Syrians. God
dpnls with men according to their
moral attitude. When men will not
have the light, God sends darkness.
111. The Syrian Army Trapped
(vv. 19-23).
The would-be trappers are now
trapped.
1. Army led by the man sought by
them (vv. 19, 20). Elisha led them
to Samaria and asked the Lord to
open their eyes. When their eyes were
open they saw the man whom they
sought, but not at the place where they
sought him. Instead of seeing him at
Dothan as they expected, they saw
him in Samaria. -
2. The generous treatment of the j
Syrians (vv. 21-23). The king of Israel
wanted to smite the captives, but
Elisha forbade him and ordered instead
that they should be fed and sent back
to their master.
3. Fence between the nations (v. 23).
The mercy shown to the Syrians had
such a profound effect upon them that
they came no more to make war upon
Israel. What a fine thing if we could
l have such humanity shown today!
Give Thanks to God.
Sleep should be light, so that we
may easily awake; for we ought to
rise frequently In the night, In order
to give thanks to God. . . . We
who have the word, the watchman,
] dwelling in us, mu9t not sleep through
j the night.—St. Clement of Alexandria.
Bodily Exercise and Godliness.
80-lily exercise proflteth little: hut
godliness Is profitable unto all things,
having promise of the life that now la,
and of that which Is to come.—l
Timothy, 4:8.
GOOD
ROADS
TO EXPEDITE ROAD BUILDING
Bureau of Public Roads Prepared to
Approve Projects Without Un
necessary Delay.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
To relieve the unemployment situa
! tion, the bureau of public roads, Uni-
I ted States. Department of Agriculture,
Is prepared to do everything possible
to, expedite federal-aid road-building
projects that can provide work or that
will shorten the season of inactivity
in road building in the northern
states. Projects will be approved with
out delay for the building of roads
which the states a; d the district en
gineers of the department agree will
come within the federal-aid program.
There is available at the present
time an unexpended balance from the
old federal-aid appropriation of $53,-
702,000 in federal-aid funds yet to
tu apportioned among the states. In
addition, under the law passed Nov
i cember 9 last, the sum of $24,375,000
i became available at-once and there al
; so became available January 1, $48,-
750,000, a total of $120,827,000.
In approving projects under the re- .
cent law the department will keep
uppermost in mind the provision of
the 1921 law which states that “the
secretary of agriculture shall give pref
erence to such projects as will ex
pedite the completion of an adequate
and connected system of highways,
Interstate in character.” At the same
time the importance of local traffic
will not be minimized. To care for
that class of traffic will always be.
In general, the first objective of high
way improvement. Wherever possible
a choice of highway will be made
which, regardless of the order of im
provement, will eventually join into
a well-conceived network, crossing
both county and state boundaries.
Thus, while the Immediate needs of
a state or district may determine
priority of construction, each new
link will bring nearer the completion
of the system as a whole.
Each district engineer of the depart
ment is fully informed as to the pro
cedure for interim projects, which is
so simplified that if important proj
ects are chosen in good faith there
will be no delay in obtaining approval
for them.
Plans for the coming road-building
season are under preliminary consid
eration In the western states the
Ip
j
A Country Road Greatly in Need of
Attention.
| major lines of highways will be fixed
| largely by topography. In many in
j stances long routes will be determined
“by single strategic points, such as a
j mountain pass. Because of this neces
sity, the department is desirous of
| having the states affected reach agree
! ments as to their plans which will he
I based on the future service that is to
be rendered, not only to the local but
I also to the interstate and national
traffic.
The department hopes that it will
not be required to take ovei a single
mile of highway for maintenance. That
i is tlie function of the state, once the
; road is built with the aid of federal
funds. But the responsibility for
maintenance is imposed by the law
upon the department and this pro
vision of the law will be enforced to
! the letter.
The department will not consider
that the states are living up to the
maintenance requirements of the act
until they establish a system of patrol
of some form that places direct and ,
continuous responsibility upon some
onq for the condition of each mile of
road. The word “patrol” is not used,
tu the technical sense to distinguish
| it from the so-called “gang” system;
j but rather to designate the proper
| combination of patrol and gang sys
tems to meet the particular require
ments of each state.
The department will proceed under
| the provisions of the act on the as
sumption that each state will recognize
1 the mutual responsibilities imposed
upon the state and upon the federal
organizations and will bring its opera
tions at once into harmony with all
Its provisions.
