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 els, and you have a well, playful child 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 50- cent bottle of “California Syrup of Figs,” which has directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups printed on the bottle. Adv.

The boar should be evenly bal anced —good in every point. The cus tom of selecting a boar unusually strong where the sows are weak and perhaps weak where they are strong, is a dangerous one. The pigs can most easily inherit the weak charac teristic of both parents. The boar is more than half the herd, so far as influence goes. Each year he may show his strength or weakness in a hundred or several hundred pigs, and it is most important that he should be of the right type and in great bodily vigor with such strongly bred ancestors that he will certainly produce pigs of uniformly profitable type, good feeders that will mature early. A boar should be se lected whose mother and grandmoth ers have had large litters. The boar should be pushed with growing feeds, so that, he will make a gain every day until he reaches full, mature weight. A mixture of any two or more of the following grains is good: Corn, barley or milo maize, with wheat, peas or shorts. A liberal supply of skim milk is especially good. He should have all the alfalfa or clover he will eat every day, either pasture or hay. A small feed of roots or cooked potatoes is good. Stunting, even for a short time, will permanent ly injure his value. He should weigh 300 to 400 pounds when twelve months old. After reaching full growth, the boar, when not in service, should be given bulky feeds that will keep him full, satisfied and in good condition, but that will not put on fat, such as alfalfa, SHELTER FOR SHEEP DURING THE WINTER House Should Be Located on a Rise of Ground Sloping Away on All Four Sides. If winter or early spring lambs are to be produced, the shelter must nat urally be warmer and more preten tious than where late lambs are the rule. The breed may also affect the kind of shelter required, some breeds being more hardy than others. The sheephouse or shelter should be located upon a rise of ground slop ing away on all sides, or at least to the south and east. It should be pro tected from and should face the side least exposed to winter winds. The floors should be dry; there should be plenty of ventilation, but also free dom from drafts. An abundance of light is desirable, as is convenience of arrangement, making necessary the least amount of work. There should be adjustable partitions forming pens for the differ ent classes of sheep, and it is desir able to have a door leading to the out side from every one of these. The doors should be wide enough so there will be no danger from crowding, which may result in broken-down hips and abortion. If the doors are closed at all, it should be only in very severe weather. Corners on posts and beams where the sheep come into contact with them should be rounded so that the sheep will not rub their fleeces against them. From 10 to 18 feet of floor space should be allowed at the feed troughs and hay rack. The quarters should not be kept too warm, or the sheep will be subject to colds and catarrhal conditions. The nearer these ideal conditions can be fulfilled the greater will be the amount of feed that can be profitably used in the production of wool and mutton. HOGS MAKE QUICK GROWTH ON BARLEY Nearly as Good for Fattening as Corn —Oats Also Good for Fattening. According to W. H. Peters of the North Dakota experiment station, bar ley is nearly as good for fattening hogs as corn. On account of the hull it Is a little less digestible. Oats is also a good hog feed when combined with other feeds, as barley, corn or shorts. For fattening hogs it can form up to one-third of the ration. For growing hogs as much as one half oats can be ted with good re «ults. THE BULLETIN. IRWINTON. GEORGIA. roots, and a small daily ration of any kind of grain. A few weeks before the beginning of the breeding season the grain feed should be gradually increased, and the amount of roots and alfalfa should be slowly reduced. The animal should be put in perfect condition and good flesh, but not made fat. The best re sults are not secured from a sire that is either fat or thin. During the breeding season the boar should have an abundance of food, using the same combination as rec ommended for him while growing, ex cept just sufficient succulent feeds should be given to keep his bowels in good condition. A full supply of suc culent feeds at this time is likely to make him infertile. The boar should have comfortable? shelter at all times —dry and free from drafts. His surroundings should be kept free from vermin. He should have daily exercise to keep him healthy aud muscular. A half-acre pas ture will furnish this. He will keep better natured and be easier to han dle if allowed to run with the bar rows outside the breeding season. If allowed to run with the sows during the breeding season, he will weaken himself by overservice. At other times there is danger that he will injure tho sows. Keeping him in close, dirty quarters, or allowing him to range over the farm and neighbor hood half starved, are both sure ways of making him valueless. Too much attention is rarely given to the boar, and his health and comfort should be looked after every day throughout the year. CHOLERA REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ACTION When Disease Is Suspected Among Members of Herd Tem peratures Will Be High. When a disease that is contagious appears among hogs, spreading more or less rapidly, is quite uniformly fa tal, and is accompanied by a high tem erature, it is quite safe to assume that it is cholera. Where cholera is suspected, it is well to get a thermom eter and take the temperature of a number of those that are apparently well. The normal temperature is from 101 to 103 degrees in winter and about one degree higher in summer. If cholera is present, the tempera tures will be found as high as 105 and 107 degrees. Make a post mortem, on a hog that has just died and examine the kid neys for small, dark red spots resem bling those on a turkey egg. Look for small red spots along the small intes tines and somewhat larger ones on the lungs. The lymphatic glands, which are found in the flank, along the intestines and between the lungs, and which are a light amber color in health, will be found congested and varying from a pink to a very dark color. Where the services of a qualified veterinarian can be obtained, he should be called to make a post mor tem and to give serum. —University of Nebraska. SUBSTANTIAL FENCES REQUIRED BY SHEEP Different Animals May Be Pas tured in the Various Fields for the Good of All. One of the first essentials for suc cessful and pleasant sheep growing on any farm is to have the farm and all fields inclosed with woven-wire fenc ing of a substantial kind. The same fencing used for sheep will also servo for cattle, horses and hogs, all of which In limited numbers may be grown on the same farm with sheep if the owner understands the habits and needs of the different animals and is a good manager of live stock. With a complete set of outside and cross fences the different animals may be pastured in different fields for the good of all. Permanent success with sheep will come when the farm is so divided into fenced fields that the sheep may be turned from one clean pasture to another every few months or weeks of the year. They will not thrive and remain healthy confined for all the year in the same pasture. Nor ia this neces sary on the average farm. IF HAIR IS TURNING GRAY, USE SAGE TEA Don’t Look Old! Try Grandmother's Recipe to Darken and Beautify Gray, Fadqd, Lifeless Hair. Grandmother kept her hair beauti fully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appear ance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy,” you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dan druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well-known druggist says every body uses Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur, because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied—it’s so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after an other application or two, it is re stored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and abundant. —Adv.

A wild pigeon that has a haunt somewhere near the old Boston City club has formed a habit of coming down into the street late at night for his supper. Several nights lately as I have come through Beacon street I have seen the bird having its midnight meal. It strikes me as something unusual for pigeons to do so.

In spite of every care and attention to diet, children are very apt to be come constipated, a condition respon sible for many ills in after life unless promptly relieved. Mrs. C. W. Wilson, of Shelbyville, Tenn., had trouble with her baby boy. Woodrow, until she heard of Dr. Cald well’s Syrup Pepsin.
