-I--. . .,. -c:: : : : . -, The Great Spring Medicine In thousands of homes, for more than thirty years, Hood's Sarsaparilla has been taken, as a Spring Medicine, by every member of the family. Peculiar to Itself in what it is and -what it does, it combines the best blood purifiers, appetizers and tonics, and effects complete cures of Spring Ailments all blood diseases, -pimples, eruptions, eczema, scrofula, all stomach, liver and kidney complaints, loss of appetite, that tired feeling, all low or run-down conditions of the system. , ;,, Hood's Sarsaparilla effects its wonderful cures, not simply because it contains sarsaparilla, but because it combines the utmost remedial values of more than 20 different ingredients, each greatly strengthened .and en riched by this peculiar combination. These ingredients are the very rem edies that successful physicians prescribe for the same diseases and ail ments. , There is no real substitute for Hood's Sarsaparilla. If urged to buy any preparation said to be "just as good," you may be sure it i3 in ferior, costs less to make, and yields the dealer a larger profit.

The Exceptional Equipment of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the scientific attainments of its chemists have rendered possible the production of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, in all of its excellence, by obtaining the pure medic inal principles of plants known to act most beneficially and combining them most skillfully, in the right proportions, with its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of California Figs. As there is only one genuine Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna and aa the gen uine is manufactured by an original method known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the genuine to get its beneficial effects. A knowledge of the above facts enables one to decline imitations or to return them if, upon viewing the package, the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. is not found printed on the front thereof .., 60 Cts. a bu.

Be a "New Parmer." The farm problem of America is not In bursting barns nor high bred stock, nor soli fertility, nor even in. the rural school, but in the farmer himself. Its solution Is in the individual known as the new farmer. The dreary drudgery of the old farm existence is fast pass ing away, and in its place Is coming a broad, rich, free livelihood, never known before "the hew country life." The new farmer lives the new country life; the new farmer builds for his wife and children a modern, sanitary, attractive home j the new farmer makes hard roads. He Installs a telephone, receives his mall by free delivery and encour ages lnterurban service, supports a .thriving rural church and demands an efficient consolidated school with a high school course for his sons and daugh ters at home. The new farmer reads and thinks ; he studies his own environ ment, sees his opportunity and limita tions; improves the one and removes the other. The new farmer is not only a scientist, but a sociologist He works in harmony with his neighbors for the general good and uplift of .his Imme diate community and above all else, he realizes the dignity and importance of his own profession and individuality in the permanent and national welfare. . Curr jr the Covrej. It Is profitable to groom cows, espe cially in the spring. This Is done In the same manner that a horse Is cur ried and brushed, and the work as thor oughly done as if grooming a good horse. The cows are curried with a sharp currying comb until the loose hairs are combed off and the dandruff on the skin is loosened. They are then rubbed down with straw and afterward with a rub rag until the coat is smooth and glossy. This opens up the pores In the skin, sets up a healthy action in the small blood vessels Just under the skin and helps a great deal In a direct way ln putting the cows In good condition; Give the cows plenty of outdoor air as soon as the weather moderates, but do not compel them to stand out ln the rain. Keep them ln the yard until the grass Is well started, for the first blades are too watery to furnish nutrition, and It is false economy to turn stock on pasture until It Is well started. Any saving of forage made in this way will be paid for later by the shortness of the grass when it is most needed. Home-Made Brooder. A. Upper smoke pipe to carry off the fumes of the lamp. B. Cotton-covered frame or roof of brooder. C. Heat-reflector. D. Heating chamber. J efts I ' CUM SCCTWN E, Freak and Otherwise. Information comes from Secretary of Agriculture Wilson that henceforth eggs styled "fresh" or "strictly fresh" must live up to their profession. Stor age eggs must be labeled as such. If this rule is rigidly enforced and the States of Nebraska, Minnesota and Pennsylvania are leading the van in punishing violators of the law there will be some queer experiences. It Is a well known fact that many persons have been eating eggs two years old un der the caption of "strictly fresh." While any person of sense realizes that "strictly fresh" eggs are almost unob tainable in midwinter and that the de velopment of cold storage facilities has been a boon to the consumer, it goes without saying that free-born man has a right to know what he is getting for his money. Then if he prefers eggs under the ban, let him have them. CONSTRUCTION OF BROODER. B. Two-ply flannel to form the warm hover for the chicks. F1. Fresh air chamber. G. Lower smoke pipe. H. Galvanized iron rim on which the heat er rests. I. Warm fresh air entering he hover, ; Cotton-Picking- Machine. A cotton-picking machine has been devised, on lines similar to the vacuum process cleaning machines, by J. S. Thurman, The vacuum-producing ap paratus, driven by a gasoline engine, is mounted on a wide-wheel truck which is drawn about the cotton field by mules. Each operator has 100 feet of hose with the picker suction-tip at the end. It is claimed that each op erator can gather 700 pounds of seed cotton per day of ten hours at a total cost of from $2.45 to $3.10 per op eration per day. Hatches of Mannr, During January and Februory heavy mulches of stable manure may be placed about perennial fruits and vege tables. The manure will act as a pro tection to the plants, some of its rich ness will soak into the soil and weath ering will cause the manure to become mild, so that It may be safely used for any of the garden crops next spring. There is little danger of scattering too much manure in our gardens and or- 'iiards. Government Experiment. The farmers of tbe country sur rounding Sbreveport will this year plant 250 acres in peanuts, at tbe in stigation of goverumeut officials, who have recently come south for the pur pose of testing the value of the pea nut as a producer of fine oils. Tbe cotton-teed oil mills, which are usually ldl during the spring and summer months, will be equipped for the ex perimentBeaumont Journal It-"-? For Harvesting Frnit. "Farmers and other persons with fruit, orchards will find much to com mend In the invention of an Indiana man, which makes the gathering of ap ples, pears and peaches a far easier and quicker propo sition than it has been heretofore. This invention Is simple enough, but like many other simple expedients, it remained un thought of until re- apple picker, cenily. The contrivance is of metal, made on the principle of a pair of scissors, except that where the point of the scis sors would come there is on one side a disc and on the other a circular open ing into a long bag, which is attached to it The handles of the harvester are hollow, so that tlwy will flit over the pointed ends of poles, which may be of any length required. By means of this device a person standing on the ground can reach fruit otherwise in inaccessi ble places, and by compressing the han dles can snip the fruit from the limbs into the bag. In this way fruit can be plucked before it falls to the ground and becomes bruised. 1 Another Artificial Fertilizer. The success attained in Norwav bv the electro-thermic process for the fixa tion of atmospheric nitrogen in the form of nitric acid, which is afterward converted into calcium nitrate and used as a fertilizer in place of Chile saltpeter, has been followed by the de velopment of another method of fixing atmospheric nitrogen by passing it over nested calcium carbide. The product is called cyanamid In the market "ni troillm" and experiment shows that when placed in the soil It decomposes ana rurnlsbes nitrogen to plants. At present cyanamid is produced on an industrial scale at Odda, in Norway: at Piano d'Orta, in Italy; at Westere gein and Bruhl, ln Germany, and large plants are being established at Almis- sa, in Austria-Hungary, and at Niag ara Falls, ln Canada. faWS. amss (!) ni .

To clean thein every day la not too often. The heat from the brooder makes droppings produce foul air, as do hens when brooding chicks. Give no feed until the clutch Is at tost thirty-six hours old. They do not need it for the yolk absorbed Just before hatching provides them until that age. , Leave them in the incubator or under hens until ready to give the first feed, which should be fine, gravel or sand on the bottom of the coop or brooder. They will eat quite a lot of It, and it provides the gizzard with grit to grind food. Care of the Yoana; Horse. Work with young horses Intended foi next season's work while you have time this winter. Halter and stall them, groom them dally and harness them frequently, so that they become accus tomed to your working with them. It requires time for tbe young horse to find out many things required of it ln regular work. If it is first taught the feel of the halter and harness there will be less for it to think about when It is hitched up for work. A well brok en horse is worth much more than one poorly broken. In selling the horse that Is the first inquiry of the buyer. Selecting- a Ilerae, A government horse buyer gives some new pointers on picking out a good roadster. He says a horse that moves steadily and takes good, long strides is a good horse. Never buy a horse that takes short, nervous steps or which has a mincing gait Such a horse cannot stand hard work on the road and Is always bard on his rider or driver. Cavalry horses in the crack regiments are, as. a rule, particularly galted as to walking. For More Wboleaome Milk. The New York station says tbkt the greater the attention paid to scrupul ous cleanliness in handling milk at all stages, the shorter the time that elapses between the drawing, straining, and cooling of milk, and tbe lower tbe tem perature to which it Is cooled, the greater its freedom from micro-organisms, the longer it will retain its nor mal condition, the more profitable ita production will be, and tbe more whole some will it be tot old and yeung.
