1t is thought by some that as the

not eat the plants it is useless To Kill
them, and that work should be con
fined to the larvae. in which state the
insect does its active damage. SO far
as the larvae are concerned this is all
right and relentnesS war should be
waged against them. The ola beetle
is also a fit subject for slaughter. and
should he killed at sight wherever
found. A female beetles active life is
about 40 days. and in that time she
become mature beetles in from 80 to 40
days. Killing the old beetle is begin

Sheep and splenIc Fever.

In recent report to the Australian
government on Preventive Inocula-
ton Against Tick Fever" by Frank
Tidswell, chief assistant medical officer
of the government in speaking of ami
mails that possess natural immunity,
he says:
ut must be admitted that some
doubt exists in the case of sheep The
American observers came to the con-
custom that sheep were not susceptible,
but they only report one experiment
in which blood was injected into
lamb BY similar experiments on two
sheep in Queensland DR.. Hunt set up
fever in both. One recovered and one
was killed in dying state. Post
norton examination did not reveal tho
characteristic lesion of tick fever, and
the examination for micro-organism
was indefinite. The blood from one OF
the sheep injected into bullock pro-
duced no well-marked disease. Tho
evidence is, perhaps, no more than sus-
picious, but 1t is possible that tick
fever, like tuberculosis, occasionally
occurs in sheep. AS DR.. Hunt remarks,
the subject merits further study"

Gnad Intentiona.

Many a good intention dies from in
attention. If through carelessness or
Incidence or selfshness a good inten-
ton is not put into effect, we have lost
an opportunity and stolen from the
pile OF possible good. To be born and
not fed is to perish. To launch ship
and neglect it is to lose it. To have
a talent and bury it is to be wicked
and slothful servant" For in the end
we shall be judged not alone by what
we have done, but by what we could
have done.--Sunday School Times

QUALITY AND NEWS.
FAME AND EXCELLENCE ARE
DETERMINING FACTORS IN

MENT.
One Of tho Important Functions of
High-CIass Newspapers

In presenting interesting phases OF
scientific and economic problems,
high-class newspapers frequently give
information of as great value in their
advertising columns as in those de-
voted to the publication OF the prin-
cipal events of the day; and when
the fame Of product is extended be-
yond it's natural limits into foreign
lands, and a large demand created
throughout Great Britain and her col
onies and the principal seaports ana
cities of Europe, Asia and Africa, 1t
becomes a pleasant duty to note the
fact and to tell of the points of ex-
cellence on which SO great a success is
based. We refer to the now world
famed laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs,
the product Of the California Fig
Syrup Company The merits of this
well-known excellent laxative were
first made known to the world through
the medical journals and newspapers
Of the United States; and is one of the
distinct achievements of the press. 1t
is now we'll known that Syrup of Figs
is an ethical proprietary remedy, APP
proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because 1t is simple ana
effective, yet pleasant to the taste and
to the system, and not only
prompt in its beneficial effects, but
also wholly free from any unpleasant
after-effects. 1t is frequently referred
to as the remedy Of the healthy, be-
cause it is used by people who enjoy
good health and who live well and feel
we'll and are well informed on all SUBJ
jects generally, including laxatives.
In order to get its beneficial effects, 1t
IS necessary to get the genuine Syrup
Of Figs, which is manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. only.

Those pigs that "go down behind"
are a puzzle to most swine breeders.
and the common idea is that they have
kidney worms This, however, Is q
mistake In majority OF cases, for
post-mortem examination has failed to
disclose single worm in the kidneys
of such hogs. The fact of the matter
Is that these paralyzed pigs are but
the evidence OF improper feeding and
management. Experiments at the
Wisconsin Experiment Station some
years ago proved beyond question that
a sole diet OF corn fails to produce
strong bones in growing pigs, and that
on the contrary such young animals
require a mixed ration of a highly nj
trogenous character in order to develop
all of the organs, tissues and bones
in the most perfect manner. When
pigs are weaned and the corn crop Is
coming into use farmers are too apt
to use 1t as sole ration for pigs. 1t
is so easy and handy to use, and the
pigs like it so well that the temptation
is great, but the price is paralysis and
the fictitious worm gets the blame.
Mix the rations and give plenty Of ex-
ercise, and these cases will become I'M
common and the quality of our pork
products will be vastly improved.

Secretary Wilson of the department
of agriculture is reported as saying:
"The people in the Mississippi val
ley are alive to the new markets in
the Pacific for their products. That
we may be doing something along this
line the agricultural department has
sent an agent to China to establish
agencies for the sale OF our dairy prod
acts. We find that this Puget Sound
section imports dairy products from
the Mississippi valley. One object OF
my present visit, therefore, is to en-
courage your dairymen to prepare
not only to supply their market, but
the greater market which is opening
up in the Pacific. Good butter, neatly
timed, brings thirty to forty cents a
pound over there. We of the Missis-
sippi valley have concluded that
great change is coming. Our great
markets will be to the west rather
than to the east
