FRUIT LAXATIVE
FOR SICK CHILD
“California Syrup of Figs” can’t
harm tender stomach,
liver and bowels.
Every mother realizes, after giving
her children ‘‘California Syrup of
Figs” that this is their ideal laxative,
because they love its pleasant taste
and it thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with
out griping.
When cross, irritable, feverish, or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give a
teaspoonful of this harmless “fruit
laxative,” and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow

Again. When its little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic —remem-
ber, a good “inside cleaning” should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep “California
Syrup of Figs” handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 60-
cent bottle of “California Syrup of
Figs,” which has directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups

Rare Christmas Gift.
A mother was out doing Christmas
shopping, and with her was her four

and gazed into th< well-filled shop
windows. At the display of fancy ar
ticles in tiie dry-gpods stores the child
beamed interestedly. At the array of
toys in other windows his eyes fairly
danced.
Presently they came to a window in
which eggs and like commodities were
on view. As the child’s parents were
enthusiastic and consistent over the
prevalent egg-boycott, hen fruit had
been scarce in the household. The lit

of the hen products.
“Oh, mother,” he exclaimed excited

BEST FEED FOR SOW AT FARROWING TIME
(By W. L. BLIZZARD, Department of
Animal Husbandry, Oklahoma A. and
M. College, Stillwater.)
Causes of losses in pigs:
1. Sows too fat, too much corn.
2. Lack of attention at farrowing
time.
3. Poor shelter and poor feeding at
farrowing.
The first day after farrowing give
water only. The second day after far
rowing give a little of the same kind
of feed that the sow received before
farrowing. Also add bran to the ra

UNSOUND TEETH IN ANIMALS
In Selecting of Dam or Sire Careful
Inspection Should Be Made for
Defects in Mouth.
(By W. P. SHULER, Department of Vet
erinary Medicine, Oklahoma A. and M.
Chllege, Stillwater.)
When we speak of an unsoundness,
it is common to think of the limbs, re
spiratory and generative organs, but
fine of the common seats of congenital
faults is the mouth. The tendency in
animals to inherit “soft” teeth and
malformed jaws is very great, and in
selecting a suitable sire or dam, inspec
tion for these defects should in no wise
be neglected. The condition of the
mouth and the form of the teeth re
llect directly on the nutrition of the
animal, the chief factor in health,
physical development and usefulness.
The congenital defects of the mouth
are the so-called parrot mouth, the un
dershot, and the scissor mouth. The
first two conditions may affect only
the incisor teeth, the upper incisor
overhanging the lower in a parrot
mouth and vice versa in the under
shot. A scissor mouth is one in which
the molar teeth are extremely beveled.
The edges of the upper and lower
teeth meet at a long, acute angle like
tiie blades of scissors. They may af
fect one side or both. A horse affect
ed with any of tiie above conditions
can only be kept in shape physically
by oft .repeated dressing and sharpen
ing of tiie teeth by a skilled veterinar
ian. Tlds is an unnecessary expense
and could be easily obviated if a lit
tle examination and forethought were
shown in tiie selection of breeding
stock.
Atly young horse whose mouth shows
badly worn molars should be rejected,
as this probably points to “soft" teeth,
and the discovery of such conditions
should be sufficient ground to adjudge
it unfit for good breeding purposes.
ROSIN IN POULTRY PICKING
Poultrymen of South Claim That by
Its Use They can Dress Quicker
and More Thoroughly.
Some poultrymen in the South use
rosin in dressing poultry, claiming
that hy its use they can do the work

MIRACLE WHEAT IS FAILURE

Miracle wheat, described as “the

has failed to live up to the claim.
After three-years’ trial by the gov

found not to be any more drought
resistant than turkey wheat, and not
to outyield it.
Moreover, it does not produce near
ly as good flour.

other hand if the pigs are fat, the feed
should he Increased slowly. In case of
scours in the pigs, do away with all
sloppy feed and put a tablespoonfut
of blood flour in the sow’s drinking
water.
Tiie feed for the sow should gradu
ally be increased until she is receiving
about all that she wants. The object
being to get quick growth in the pigs.
As soon as the pigs learn to eat, they
should have a trough by themselves.
A pig should be kept growing rapid-
ly until It Is 50 or GO pounds In weight.
From 50 pounds on, tiie gain can be
made largely from grass with some
concentrated feed in addition.
The amount fed in winter will de
pend on tiie age of the sow. Old sows
should he kept from getting fat.
Corn should be fed in connection
with some nitrogenous feed, such as
tankage, meat meal or oil meal.
MORE ATTENTION TO APPLES
High Prices Received for Fruit Would
Indicate That It Is Being Neglect
ed by Farmers.
(By C. W. RAPP, Department of Horti
culture, Oklahoma A. and M. College,
Stillwater.)
The high price of apples In many
parts of the state during recent years
seems to indicate tiiat this fruit is not
receiving its share of attention in the
home orchards. This is probably due,
in part, to the fact that tiie upple is a
slow grower.
Under normal conditions, poaches,
cherries and plums come into bearing
much sooner than apples. For this
reason the apple orchard is frequently
neglected. It grows slowly, and fre
quently it does not fruit for five or
ten years after It is set. While the
tree is maturing the owner becomes
discouraged, leaves this part of the or
chard neglected, and, as a result, the
proportion of apple trees which come
into bearing is very small.
Another reason for the neglect Is
the fact that the wrong varieties are
frequently planted. Tills is, of course,
not discovered until tiie trees come
into bearing. When the owner dis
covers how poorly ttiey are yielding,
lie virtually abandons tiie orchard.
Anybody who plants an orchard of
apples of the Winesap group, and who
tends it thoroughly during tiie years in
which it does not produce, should re
ceive good returns on his investment
when the trees come into bearing.

Cow by Abuse.
1. Have the herd examined nt least
once a year by a competent veterina
rian. Promptly- remove animals sus
pected of being in had health. Never
add an animal to the herd until cer
tain it is free from disease, particu
larly tuberculosis.
2. Never allow a cow to be excited
by fast*driving, abuse or unnecessary
disturbance.
3. Clean the entire body of the cow
daily. Hair in the region of the udder
should he kept short by clipping.
4. Do not allow strong-flavored food,
like cabbages or turnips, to be eaten
except immediately after milking.
Changes In feed should be made grad
ually.
5. Provide fresh, pure drinking wa
