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 ing In the ball, she succumbed to a 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 pered, sorrowfully: “MuMar, I was still, but I just couldn't make tuy sneezer be still." 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.

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 ready frozen. This salve Is also ex cellent for colds In the head or rat tling In the throat.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —What Faith In the Unseen Can Do for 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.

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.
