ScOurs in Calves,

There is no remedy so good as
prevention for scour in calves.
boards DGirymGn names four con-
dltions which are very productive
of this arrangement of the bowels ;
1. Feeding milk cold. 1t will pay
you to warm che milk till the calf
is s months old. 2. Feeding the
the milk sour. g. Not feeding
often enough. A calf should
be ted at least four times a day,
then he does not gorge. 4. Keep
ing the calf perfectly dry. This
last Is a most important provision,
but it Is impertive. Wet bedding
will slcken a calf as soon as any.
thing in the world. Keep these
conditions always in mind if you
want healthy calves.

Home Grown VS.. Purchased Seeds.

The Pennsylvania experiment
station in report on test made of
the comparative value of home
grown versus purchased seeds, ar
rives at some interesting conclu-
sions. The ground in which the
seeds grew was ordinary farm soil
and the home grown seeds were
selected from the choicest crops Of
the previous year. Those were
tested last season with seeds OF the
same varieties of vegetables from
prominent seed houses. Results
made 1t appear that: /. The sta.
ton seeds were, as a rule. heavier
than the purchased seeds. >. The
weight was no indication of the
germinative value of the seeds. 3.
In the majority of cases the earlier
marketable products we're obtained
from purchased seeds. 4. The
greater yield, with but few excep-
tons, was obtained form purchased
seeds. ). Lettuce from purchased
sseds produce heads that did not
"shoot up to the flower as early
as the plants from the station seed.
6. Radishej from purchased seeds
were larger, more tender
and more uniform than
those from station seeds. 7. On
the whole the results are strongly
IN favor Of seeds from good soil,
however rich that may be.

Constipation,

IF not remedied in season, is liable to
become habitual and chronic. Dras-

confirm, rather than cure, the evil.

ally recommended by the faculty as the
best OF aperients.

constipation, without being able TO find
much relief, / at last tried Ayers Pills.
