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. All Druggists.

Acid Kills Waterfowel.
That sulphuric acid, dischuffted into
the water of Great Salt Lake. I'tah,
is responsible for the death of two ;
million water fowl last year has been
ascertained by Dr. Buckley of the
patliological division of the bureau of
animal industry. The American Game
Protective association sent Dr. Buckley
to Salt Luke City, thinking that
some contagious disease caused th**
death of so many birds.
Hit the Danger Spot.
A tippler with u very red nose got
a day's work as a laborer in a boiler
works. The same day he appeared
before the surgeon at the hospital
with his nose smasliod.
"Clcod gracious!" exclaimed the surgeon.
"How did you manage to get
your nose smashed like that?"
"Oh." cried the sufferer, "1 put my
nose through a hole In the boiler for
a sniff of fresh air and the man outside
with the hammer mistook it for
a red-hot rivet. And lie only hit once

WINTER CARE FOR THE CALF
Where Youngsters are Raised on
Skimmilk They Should Be Tauaht
to Eat Grain Early.
(By C. H. ECKL.ES, Dairyman. 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

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

and is cheaper. Oats are also good.
An equal mixture of corn meal and

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.

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

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

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.
K few odd fence rails, built together
in a square in the garden, will
hold all the rubbish that is tit for decomposing.
Add to it the weeds from
the garden and manure and all aslics
from the house. Pour the wash water
over it and allow It to paek thoroughly.
It will be of value for next I
spring while it concentrates now nil
the waste refuse and prevents the
hens from broadcasting it again.
Egg Stimulant.
Some of the Knglish breeders put a
small teaspoor.ful of mustard in the
morning mash for every six or seven
fowls. This is used as a tonic as well
as a stimulant to egg production.
