Gladness Comes
With a better understanding; of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
fort gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed bo highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that yon have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
ked and gives most general satisfaction.

Farmers Should Encourage the Study

Earth Scraper Crate for Marketing;

Theory and Practice.
The successful man who prides him
self, on being a strictly practical fann
er, breeder or feeder, with "no theoreti
cal or scientific nonsense about him,"
may do considerable harm by the force
of his example. The fact that he car
ries on his operations intelligently and
successfully Is evidence that lie carries
them on scientifically. He Is then, al
though he may not know It, a scientific
fanner, and unconsciously understands
and carries out the very principles
which scientific men are trying to Im
press upon the minds of the Ignorant,
ind at which he scoffs. Such men do
harm when they sneer at the Idea that
theoretical or scientific knowledge Is
unimportant. It may be uulmportant
to the man whose practice agrees In the
main with correct principles, but to the
man whose practice la not correct, and
never will be until he understands the
principles which underlie It, such nn
Idea Is disastrous. If all men could or
would conduct their work on right Hues
it would matter little whether they un
derstood the principles or not. But all
will not do this. Most of them must
know the principle first or they" will
not persevere In the practice; some will
not, anyhow. Let u by all means en
courage the study of the theories and
principles which are back of correct
practice In agriculture. Stockman.

Avoiding BickneM).
There Is nothing more essential to the
success of a business man than the good
health of himself and his family. This
Is especially true of the fanner, who
must give personal attention to every
part of his business and whose family
is closely connected with his -work.
Anything that Interferes with the use
fulness of any one in the average farm
home Is a serious hindrance. For busl-
nesss reasons, therefore, the farmer
cannot afford to have sickness In his
household. One of the most common
causes of sickness in the country la over
work. Many women especially suffer
from this cause and do not seem to real
ize it, nor do their households. Another
common cause of sickness Is neglect of
sanitary precautions. The country
home is usuallyi well situated to avoid
trouble of this kind, but so often have
we seen surroundings that invited dis
ease that we bave thought a country
health Inspector would not be ont of
place. It should not be difficult to pre
vent the pollution of air, water or food
in the country, and if these are all pure
there need be little fear of trouble.

The Dock Weed.
On meadow land the narrow dock Is
one of the worst of weeds. It Is so tena
cious of life that even after It is pulled
up and partly dried it will grow again
when wet by rains and allowed to
touch the damp soil. It Is very com
monly auowed to seed, and the plant
being cut with the grass goes Into the
bay, and the seeds are thus distributed
In the manure pile. It is In this way
that the plant Is distributed in locali
ties where none was known before.
The seeds are very tenacious of vital
ity as they will undergo heating In a
manure pile, and then grow quite as
well as before being subjected to this
ordeal, which will kill most other seeds.
The dock roots can be pulled up
while the ground is soft in the spring,
or from recent heavy rains any time
during the summer. But do not leave
them on the fences, thinking that they
will thus dry out so as to be Incapable
of growing again.
Old Horaea Still Efficient.
A gray-haired farmer named W. B.
Anderson In Willlnk, Erie County, N.
1"., drives a pair of mares that, though
84 and 30 years old, are still able to do
a food day's work on bis farm or take
htm on the road to tha city. Tha team
has never had any other owner, and
tboy have never bean overdriven. It
Is the excitement of too fast driving,
which the horse probably enjoys aa well
as his owner, which shortens the 3f
of most horses. We never knew horse
to attain such age as this. Usually the
teeth become so poor that they can only
eat cut and ground feed, but this is us
ually best for all horses that have
hard work to do, as It saves unneces
sary labor for the digestive organs.
. , Pcna for Fattening Pig.
Corn is not the best food for young
hogs, yet as it Is more generally grown
than any other, and Is the cheapest
grain feed, It is the staple ration. A
diet of pens Is mueu better for making
growth. As the peas can be sown
broadcast, they need no cultivating,
and the crop may own be harvested
by turning the pigs In aud letting them
eat whiit they will. We kuowa farmer
who every year grows three to flvs
acres of field pens. lie gets the seed
from Canada to avoid the pea bug, but
In localities where few peas have been
grown the pea bug has so far disap
peared for lack of Its favorite food
that the pea can be grown for several
years without any trouble from this
source. Our farmer usually gets 28 to
30 bushels per acre, and says the peas
cost less per bushel than the sama
amount of corn. He has the peas
ground with oats and corn, and keeps
some of this mixture to feed his pigs

Training n Young Cow.
Last fall 1 purchased a tine Guernsey

In milking, says a contributor to tha
Country Gentleman. When she fresh
ened she stood well until she found
the hired man was afraid of her, when
she kicked so terribly that we were
obliged to put the calf to her again.
The calf had been allowed to do the
milking until four or five days old,
which I knew was a mistake, but tt oc
curred while I was away from home,
I almost despaired of "reclaiming"
that cow for the dairy, but at the end

A Fodder Hack.
When the pasture begins to get abort,
the stock must have extra feed, and a
feed rack for the pasture or barn yard
Is necessary. The Illustration shows

Next to the strawberry, the man who s
Is entirely destitute of fruit should !
plant the grape vino If he would wish j
delicious fruit of his own growing ;
at the earliest possible time. We luivc
ripened one or two bunches of grapes j
eighteen months after a thrift yt vine -
was set. The year after that It can f
be made to grow four to five pounds 1
of fruit, though it Is better to thin this
out to half that amount. There Is no
trouble in getting the grape vine to ;
fruiting. Every bud left after pruning i
will make a shoot, and this will set
two, three or four bunches. The chief 1
difficulty Is to prune closely enough
to prevent more fruit from setting than j
the vine can bring to maturity.
Grade Cows,
In speaking of scrub cattle, it should
be noted that there flows some very
good Ayrshire, Shorthorn and Devon
blood In the vein of a large proportion
of the so-called common cows of this
country. Such cattle are by no means
scrub stock. When we sec cows giving
sixteen to twenty quarts aud producing
daughters equal to themselves, we may
well su.iport some good thoroughbred
ancestry somewhere.
