Truth
and Quality
appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to per-:
manent success and creditable stand- j
ing. Accordingly, It Is not claimed '
that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna is the only remedy of known
value, but one of many reasons why
it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that It cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal
organs on which it acts without any
debilitating after effects and without
having to increase the quantity from
time to time. ;
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and Its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as It Is free from all
objectionable substances. To get its '
beneficial effects always purchase the
genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and fori
ale by all leading druggists.

This mixture, writes one authority

A New York druggist who has had

Horses avnd Hmlaa.
There has been a rapid increase the
laet few years la the number and value
of the horses and mules In the United
States.
In 1900 there were 13,624,000 horses
and mules In the United States. Dur
ing the next five years there was an
increases of 27.7 per cent, so that on
January 1, 1905, the number of horses
and mules had increased to 19,946,000,
but the increase did not stop at that
rate. On the first of January, 1907,
there were no less than 23,564.000
horses and mules, showing an Increase
of 18 per cent dur;ng the two years
subsequent to '905.
Those who are inclined to talk over
production at the present are confront
ed with the Indisputable fact that dur
ing the seven years when the increase
In numbers amounted to SO per cent
there was also an Increase In price per
head amounting to over 50 per cent
Thus on January 1, 1900, our horses
and mules were valued at $715,688,000,
while on January 1, 1900, they were
valued at 12,274,642,000.
This Is a phenomenal record and yet,
notwithstanding this extraordinary In
crease In number ans value, horses are
In greater demand to-day than they
have ever been before In the history of
h United States.

Here Is an easy plan of keeping hogs
from going from hog pastures to cow
pastures, and at the same time allowing
the cattle to go from on pasture to
tho other at will. As shown In the
sketch, the opening In the fence may
be as wide as desired. Two by twelve
Inch plank are nailed to the fence posts
about four or six Inches from the
ground, and two extra posts are set out
from the fence about a foot The plank
Is nsfled to the Inside of these posts,
and this plank should be about four
feet longer than the one fastened to
the fence so as to go by the opening at
each end about two feet. The hogs

cannot Jump the two planks, and small
Jump over, as they are lengthwise of
bogs that go between them cannot
the opening. The cattle will readily
step over. The same plan may be used
for sheep, only three planks may be
necessary to retain them, although the
writer uses only two for them also.
Farmre.
Matching: Helpa.
A very Intelligent and' observing
fanner says: The Importance of a
mulch to counteract a drought was
presented to me In a rather forcible
manner last spring. We had planted
a few rows of early beans and after
they had come up we had1 a cold spell,
and In order to save the beans from the
frost, they were covered with planks.
After the danger from frost had passed,
at one end of the rows the planks were
laid between the rows and left for
about two weeks, which was a dry sea
son. At the other end the planks were
moved clear away. The part where the
planks were between the rows made
double the growth of the others. The
growth was evidently due to the mois
ture saved by the planks.
Tranaportatton Change.
The freights and . transportation
charges on a full car of strawberries
from southern points are often from
200 to $300, while on a car of south
ern peaches the cost of refrigeration
and the high priced packages that hnve
to be used run the cost up above $500
on each car that comes Into the State;
400 of this would be profit or Increased
Income to the local grower.
The local grower can often sell di
rect to consumer; there are no heavy
or refrigerator charges to pay, and
these two Items alone often eat up over
one-balf to two-thirds of the gross snles
of fruit brought from a distance, while
the local grower saves It. J. H. Hale,
Connecticut, In American Cultivator.
Loss of Manure,
An authority claims that fully one
third of the manure voided on the
farms of the United States Is lost The
fermentation of manure Is caused by
the action of two forms of organisms.
One form Is that which requires an
abundance of oxygen and dies when ex
posed to It The former thrives on the
outside of the heap and the latter ra'
the Interior. The tatter's office seems
to break up the more complex particles .
and prepare them for the action of th
former. If the action of the former
Is too rapid a great deal of the nttrro-'
g?n passes off Into the atr In the form
of ammonia or free nltrogvn, and Is loaf
to the soil from whence It came.

the cold months In a cellar provided
for the purpose. lie states that beet
may be successfully wintered In cellar!
provided the cellar Is given over entire
ly to the bees and used for no othei
purpose. There Is always an un
healthy odor, that Is as disastrous to
bees a anything else, emitted from de
cayed fruits, vegetables and such things
as are usually stored In cellars. Thi
bee cellar should not be entered not
disturbed any more than Is absolutely
necessary; It should he made quiet

Ing the fruit It Is bad practice to
shake any kind of fruit from the tree.
It should always be picked by hand

method Injury to the extent of 10 t

Cora Land (or tha Bean Crop.
Beans may be planted late and ma
ture before a probably frost For sev
eral years beans have borne a good
price, and If the wheat crop proves to
be as short as threatened at this writ
ing the consumption of them Is likely
to be larger than usual. The planting,
harvesting and thrashing of beans may
be done by machinery now, which re
moves a former serious objection to
their culture; and If the crop area on
a farm has been made smaller than
desired, by reason of the cold spring, a
field of beans might be advantageously
used In extending the season's crops.
Good corn land Is excellent for beans,
and their cultivation does not differ
materially from that of corn, hence It
does not require any special Instructs
or skill to grow them successfully.
No Norse Crop (or Alfalfa,
Some people still think alfalfa should
be sown with a nurse crop. Those who
have bad experience with It know bet
ter. A recent publication of the Ari
zona Experiment Station sums up the
facts as follows : x ,
Nurse crops hinder the development
of tops and roots of alfalfa, especially
when by reason of a thick stand or
rank growth shading effects are exces
sive. After the removal of the nurse
crop the weakened and undeveloped al
falfa plants are poorly fitted to with
stand drought and the stand may bf
lost. In the average Instance the loss
In yield of alfalfa due to a nurse crop
probably more than offsets return fron
the nurse crop Itself.
Missouri Sheep.
A new breed of sheep Is said to have
been developed by William Buckman
near Clapper, Mo. The new breed has
all the best points oif Rambouillets..
Shropshires and Cotswolds. To start
with he used twenty Shropshire ewes
and crossed them with a Ramboulllel
buck, and the ewes secured from this
cross were then crossed with a Cots
wold buck. It Is claimed that they in
herit the hardy traits of the Rambouil
lets, the mutton qualities of the Shrop
shires and the heavy fleeces of the Cots
wolds.
Rock Salt for Horses,
For cattle and horses, rock salt
placed In boxes or troughs In winter
and scattered about the pastures on
the grass hi summer Is preferable to
any other way. Rains have little ef
fect upon It and this will be found
both convenient and economical. For
sheep, however, this plan does not
work so well. The rock salt is so slow
to dissolve that they are not able to
get a sufficient quantity of It to satisfy
their wants, hence It is necessary to
use the loose salt for them.
Merino In Vermont.
The merino sheep Industry In Ver

Walter Freeman, a gas meter reader
for the Public Service Corporation of
Montclalr, N. J., Is no lontrer a skentlc
when it comes to believing the stories
which he has' hitherto regarded as the
product of the "nature fakers. Free
man, who lives In Newark, went to the
house of Charles W. Tracy, on Upper
Mountain avenue, to-day, and read
large figures on the gas meter.
This duty and the appalling flgures
set down in a big, red-covered book.
Freeman left the Tracy dwelling and
started across the lawn, whistling glee
fully. As he proceeded, he was startled
by a growl from a fierce-looking bull
dog, which, despite Its savage appear
ance. Is a great pet of Mr. Tracy's.
Freeman hurled his meter book at
the dog. The book opened as It hurled
through the air and fell at the feet of
the dog. On the open page was record
ed the amazing figures which Freeman
had set down as the basis for Mr.
Tracy's current gas bill. With a fierce
growl, the dog made a Jump for the
frightened corporation servant Free
man fled, the dog at his heels. In a
moment the dog sank his teeth In Free
man's leg.
Then he let out a howl even louder
thnn that which goes up from many an
angry victim of meter readers all over
the world. There was a wild swirl of
dog and man for several minutes, and
when Freeman finally emerged from '
the conflict he hnd been severely maul
ed and chewed.

red-covered book, and It Is said that
he has torn therefrom the page which
