CONSTIPATION SMuoyon's Paw-Paw Pills ate unlike all other laxatives or cathartics. They coax the liver into activity by gentle methods, they do not scour; they do not gripe; they do not start all the secretions of the liver and stomach in a way that soon | puts these organs in a healthy condition and . corrects constipation. Munyon's Paw-Paw , Pills are a tonic to the stomach, liver and nerves. They invigorate instead of weaken; ! they enrich the blood instead of impover- ' ishing it; they enable the stomach to get all the nourishment frcm food ihat is put into . it. Price 25 cents.

Missouri Agricultural College.) The calf whioh is to be raised on , skimmilk should be taught to eat grain early. When they have access ( to it, many begin eating grain at two , weeks of age. The grain should be placed In a box where they can easily ' get to it and they can be encouraged at first by placing a little in their mouth after they have consumed their milk. Grain can best be fed dry after the milk is fed. In no case should it be fed in the milk as in that case it will be gulped down without chewing, which is bad for the digestion. No more grain should be given than will ho onfnn n?\ n-!/*? ? * ?l ~v vmvv.ii U(> iw ivr CUL'II uuv, WUIt'U will not bo more than ono-linlf pound duilv for the first two months. After this they may have more, but it will not be necessary to feed more than one pound per day up to six months unless it is desired to push tliem rapidly. If grain is allowed to remain in the trough, it often becomes damp and decayed, and may cause sickness, just as dirty palls may do. In feeding grain one must keep in mind that the object is to supply fat which is deficient in the skimmilk. It was at first assumed that linseed Excellent Quartette. oil meal was the best, hut since corn is high In starchy foods, and fats, it tills the requirements just as well, and is cheaper. Oats are also good. An equal mixture of corn meal and Whole Or crushed nnts enn linnllv ?w. improved upon for supplementing | skimmilk. Cornmeal alone is as good > as any for the young calf, but after j two or three months it can cat shelled corn just as well. Calves will begin to nibble hay ulmost as soon as they will eat grain, for young calves timothy or mixed hay ie well adapted as clovers and alfalfa arc laxative, and so palatable the animal often overeats and this helps to produce scours. After three or four months they should by all means he fed some of the legume hays (alfulfa, clover or cowpea) on account of the bone and growth producing elements this class contains. An abundance of clean water should be given at all times and salt after the animal is old enough to eat grain and hay. ONE TREATMENT FOR HEAVES Disease Is Incurable, but May Be Palliated by Feeding Easily Di- I gested Nutritive Food. (By DK. J. IT STAND1SIT. Kova Scolla Department of Agriculture.) Repeated gorging of the stomach with food or water, and often both, is the cause of heaves. The symptoms are deep breathing, evidenced by the expanding nostrils and double lifting of the flanks, both of which are increased if the animal is forced up a grade at a fast trot or gallop when the stomach is distended with food or water; generally, also, a hacking cough, mostly in the morning. The disease is incurable, but may be palliated by feeding easily digested nutritive food in small quantities. Give such food as early out. well cured, clean timothy hay. preferably dampened with weak lime water, oats, wheat bran, flax seed ground, and in winter roots, carrots, turnips, mangels or sugar beets; the oats to be boiled twice a week. Give four drams of ginger and two drams of baking soda in the food at. night, or oil of tar in dessert spoonful doses. In some cases, better results are secured by alternating these daily or weekly, and in some cases are benefited by four to ten grain doses of white arsenic once a day. Rut care in feeding and Watering So j - ?? ~ ?r> ncv-tooiiij j ituy ireuimi'iu. c,?ni straw, if early rut and well cured, is often preferable to hay. In either case, shake the nay or straw to remove all dust. Bare Spots on Lawns. For bare spots on the lawn sow equal quantities of white clover and blue grass; then rake the ground thoroughly and sow a mixture of wood ashes and land plaster. One quart of plaster mixed with one peck of ashes will make a good mixture. If ground should be dry, water it. Apply the water late in the evening. If ashes cannot be had spread line manure; the scrapings of the barnyard will answer. The manure will not only fertilize the ground, but it will also serve as a slight muk h for the young clover. For a plot of ground 15 by 20 feet, or :t00 square feet, sow one quart of seed. Watch for Colds. It is necessary to watch closely for colds when birds acclimated to sleep In the open air are brought to their regular roosting quarters. The change will sometimes produce colds, which can quickly be cured by proper attention PLOWING IS HARD ON HORSES Few Teams That Are Not Doing Ten to Thirty Per Cent of Unnecessary Work in Fields. (By K. W. HAMILTON.) Plowing: Is at best the hardest work our farm horses have to perform. Few plow te&ms are not doing 10 to SO per rent of unnecessary work. The writer has seen plows which he believed were pulling r>0 per cent harder than they should. We are told that about f?0 per cent of the draft of a plow is due to the cutting of the furrow slice. The con- i dltlon of the cutting edge must then be of first importance. Kxpert plowmen recognize this and in competi tions file their shares to knife edges. One authority claims that an old 1 share resharpened has shown 36 per rent heavier draft than a new share. Again, engine plows of ihe same make : and^Tdze have under the same conditions showed 4f> per cent difference in draft in favor of the new freshl\ fried shares over resharpened shares in ordinary condition. It will certainly pay to keep the plow shares sharp and in proper form. The set and adjustment of a plow is almost as much to do with the draft as condition of the share. A riding plow with rear furrow wheel should pull little or no harder than a walking plow or plows of the same widths. Yet how many do it? About :?0 per cent of the draft of a walking plow is due to the friction of t*o plow on the bottom and side of me furrow. Tn the riding plow this friction is eliminated by carrying the weight and down and side pressure of plow bottom op wheels. To accomplish this the rear furrow wheel is set out about an inch and a quarter so that landside cannot touch the side furrow. The wheel Is also set down so the heel of landside is raised one half to three-fourths inches off bottom of furrow. When so set the plow bottom will sink into the ground ami linn" there. When plow bottoms "float" in the frame none of the bottom and side pressure is removed and the draft of the bottoms is the same as that of the walking plows to which ir.nst be added that due fo weight of plow frame and driver. BIG ESSENTIAL FOR STOCK Animals Go for Days Without Drinking When Water Is Ice ColdTank is Inexpensive. (By J. G STRIN.) A tank may he built cheaply of planks for the sides and ends, with galvanized iron for the bottom, so that when the tank is set on the brick foundation a lire can be built under it, and it will take but little heat to keep the water from freezing. Tlie stovepipe must have an elbow ihat goes through the brick nearly up to the bottom of the tank, so that the pipe won't touch the plank. The stock drink more water in winter when it is ] i11 V-ly^.,1 ?u If/;' Water-Heating Tank. heuted. When ice-cold, they will go for days without drinking at all; and as plenty of water is necessary to their well being, the importance of having it at a comfortable temperature is readily seen. Too, the milking cow will give more milk, and the young stock stand the cold better, when tlie water is saved the freezing mark. BIG ASSISTANCE TO FARMER Smart Buyers of Live Stock Makr Good Money Outguessing Ownere?Scales Prove Profitable. fP.v A IIIRKI) MAN.) Our boss says: "Xo more guess work for me." lie lias put In a pair of scales, having found out many years too late that scales make knowledge definite. "Before I put in the scales." says the"boss, "I did not know anything for certain and sure." Smart buyers of live stock count on making good money just because they are better guessers than farmers and they are always anxious to buy on a guess. You can bet your last dollar tbat these fellows never view a farm scale with a friendly eye. A man feels mighty cheap to learn that some slick buyer has bought his liogs at guess weights and sold them at advances ranging from 2f? to aO pounds per head In these days there is no reasonable excuse for farmers to persist in selling their stock and crops at a guessed weight. A set of farm scales furnish farts that help to put farming on n business basis. Compost Heap.
