CHILDREN M SffiUPDFFIGS It is cruel to force nauseating, harsh physic into a sick child. Look back at your childhood days. Remember the “dose” mother tainted on —cantor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don’t realize what they do The children’s revolt Is well-found ed. Their tender little “insides” are injured by them. If your child’s stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious "California Syrup of Figs.” Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless “fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never falls to clean the liver and bowels and sweet en the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor row. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of “California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Adv. Would Expect Him. Griggs Then you don’t look upon Sharpe as a coming man? Briggs—No; but 1 would If I was in charge of the penitentiary. FALLING HAIR MEANS DANDRUFF IS ACTIVE Save Your Hair!

REASONS FOR SO MANY POULTRY FAILURES ■ KKKKBK. Upper half: the Cornell outdoor hopper used on the Chicken Range. Lower left-hand corner; A handy water wagon used on the Range. Lower right-hand corner: Same wagon arranged for carrying feed and litter. (By CHESLA BHERLOCK.) Those who are Interested in poul try raising are eager for all the in formation that they can obtain from those who have succeeded. But they never consult or Investigate the meth ods of the unfortuante one, who has failed to be successful. If they would do so. they would obtain more infor mation than if they would read all the poultry books in existence. When they do ask the one who failed, he al ways gives the answer that "there isn’t any money in the poultry busi ness.” They must investigate for themselves, and never allow their opinions regarding potfltry to be in fluenced by others. The statement that poultry is unprofitable Is without foundation. The fact that eggs and what the results may be. The poultry poultry today command a better price than ever before shows that the de mand exceeds the production, and we all know that where this is the case, the production of poultry and eggs will be profitable; of course there are many rules that have to be followed before this can be realized. The great reason why so many have failed Is because they have the wrong idea of the business. As a rule, they think that if one has chickens —no matter what kind, and If he feeds them, he ought to realize profit. They have the idea that all one has to do is to invest a few dollars in poultry and before long he will be receiving such an income from the business to make a “living,,’’ They do not realize that It takes knowledge and business ability to mate a success, and that not every person or any person can make ft pay. The reason for all these wrong ideas is that they have made their "plunge" without reasoning out business must be worked out and stud ied continuously to succeed. In gathering material for this arti cle, the writer visited the poultry yards of many successful and many unsuccessful poultrymen. In the yards of those that were successful the first thing that attracted his attention was the cleanliness of both houses and yards. One breeder in particular used lime so that it looked as if the drop ping boards were concrete. He did not sprinkle the lime around in heaps, as Is commonly done, but he dipped a brootn In the lime and then swept the boards off. The result was that ev erything was cleaned in an attractive way, and the lime was not so easily stirred up. If lime is sprinkled In lit tle heaps and the fowls become ex cited, they are liable to stir it up so they can hardly breathe. If this hap pens, ft will seriously retard the growtW of young chickens. The yards of this breeder were swept every morning when the weather conditions were favorable. Os course, that part which he was cultivating for “green food was not disturbed or the part he had reserved for dust baths. When Look After Fences. Don’t forget to fix the fences. A trip around the pasture and field fences now and then will often save trouble, strength and the time of hav ing to drive the cattle back into the pasture. Animals are almost human when it comes to going where some one does not want them. Remove the suggestion, therefore, by not allowing any sags In the wire or any loose or decayed posts In the line. A well-kept fence is an indication of a good farmer. Watch the Barn Door. Never start to lead the horse from his stall till you hold or fasten back the door. Doors have been known to swing to where they were not fasten ed open, catching the horse's head, the animal pulling back and breaking his neck. Effects of Breeding. If you breed the mares to strong, vigorous sires, that is the sort of off spring you may expect; if you breed to the other sort, you may expect some other sort of offspring WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, GEORGIA. he had all the rubbish swept up. he did not pile it in some corner, but it was burned immediately. Here Iles one of the secrets of his success. The next point that was noticed was that every man had thoroughbred stock. Some had paid as high as $lO per bird. This does not seem high to the professional poultryman, but when the average person reaches the point where he is willing to pay that much, It shows he realizes what is needed to make a success. When one visits a poultry yard and finds fine, thoroughbred stock he Invariably becomes a friend of the owner. The birds are not only pleasing to the eye, but they actually earn their “salt-" it has been said that a thoroughbred bird requires less care, feed and' equipment to make a success than a "scrub" does. Os all the poultry yards visited there was only one case of a failure being made with a thor oughbred stock, and this was due to inattention to the flock on the part of the owner The next thing that was noticed In particular was the strict attention and good care the poultry received at the hands of the poultryman. Every little detail had been worked out in away that would lower expenses and save labor. Up-to-date supplies and appli ances were used in every case, and by so doing the breeder saved an enor mous amount of hard work. The fowls were given the best of care, not only for the day that the writer vis ited them, but for every day of the year, no matter how hot or how cold it might be. At certain hours of the day they were given their various feeds, and the poultryman never al lowed himself to vary from the hour. Where the writer found poultry a failure, he was Impressed with the fact of the carelessness and general neglect on the part of the poultryman. Many a person had never cleaned out the poultry house since it was erected. The droppings are a foot or two deep and the general conditions are such that a person could not live in them one day without catching some dis ease Such conditions are a disgrace to the owner, and anyone should be ashamed to allow anyone to see such holes. Try to better the condition of your flock. Do not cast this aside without thought, for it is given here only with the view of helping you to better your flock, and consequently your pocketbook. The writer knows the above conditions necessary for the success of the poultry business, be cause he has been through the “mill" himself, and had to solve everything alone. It was for the very kind of advice given ir this article that he hungered, and he is trying to give It to the farmers now. so that poultry will become one of the great "ends" of successful farming In the future Degrees of Lumpy Jaw. There is an unnecessary prejudice against lumpy-jaw cattle, according to Dr. M. H. Reynolds of the Minnesota station. A considerable percentage of these cases are passed by government inspectors as fit for food purposes. Only the very bad cases, especially those where the disease affects sev eral organs or parts of the body, are condemned. Farm Machinery. Every now and then we hear it said the modern farmer spends too much money for machinery. We hardly think he does, though there are, of course, exceptional cases. The farmer of today simply spends for machinery what the farmer of yesterday spent for hired help—and machinery proves the cheaper way. As a rule, too, ma chinery is more satisfactory. Reducing Feed Cost. Attention to feeding with respect to the feed itself and to the method will reduce the cost of horse power re quired to do the farm work. Sometimes a smart man gets paid for not doing things he might. To Cure Tender and Receding Gome Apply the wonderful, old reliable DR. POR TER’S ANTISEPTIC HEALING OIL. 60c, 11.00.
