There is a great deal easier way to cut
figs for filling for cakes than the old
fashioned way of chopping them in a
bowl. The sticky tough nature of the
figs make choppng them a long, hard
job, requiring much time and strength:
Take a pair of old shears or scissors
and cut the figs into tiny pieces, which
takes but very few minutes. You will
be surprised at the difference in time
and strength saved by this method.
Raisins as we'll as figs can be cut up in
this way, instead of being chopped.
Once tried, and you will never chop figs
again. The white of an egg beaten to a
stiff froth and mixed with the figs after
they have boiled into a thick paste, with
little water, and the addition of little
sugar, makes very nice and tasty fill
ing for layer cake.-Epitomist

RAISING BEEF CALVES.
An Industry in Which the Wise Dairy.
man viii Not and Cannot
Afford to Engage.

The feeding of beef calves by the but
ter dairyman necessitates the buying of
the calves Of beef strain, for the butter
dairyman cannot afford to keep beef
cows or Jack of all trades cows, which
some talk so much about under the name
of dual purpose" COWS, says Practical
Farmer-that is a COW half way milk
and butter and half way beef and never
the best for either. The calves from but
ter cows cannot be made to tip 1900
pounds in year, and if they did it would
all be inside fat and no loins worth men
tioning, The dairyman can afford to
raise his heifer calves on skim milk and
grain, but he had better let the beef ami
mails alone unless he can buy frst-class
beef calves for the purpose. We have
heard of the dairy shorthorns and have
spent a good deal of money to find them.
If they ever existed they have been bred
out In getting the true use of the short
horn, the best of beef We have never
yet talked about special purpose cattle
but some shorthorn man arises to ex-
plain that the shorthorn is the greatest
animal either for dairy or beef. The fact
is that an animal which is the finest dairy
animal cannot possibly be fine beef ami
NAL and vice versa. The two characters
are Numerically opposed. and just to
the extent that a shorthorn or any other
beef breed develops fine dairy qualities,
to that extent she becomes a poorer beef
animal. Mere size does not make an AMI
NAL good beef, and fat laid on by dairy
animal inside is not as profitable as the
fat on the loins Of real beef animal.
II mans interest is in butter. let him
keep the best cows for that purpose and
leave baby beef to the beef men. while
he more proftably uses his skim milk to
raise heifers and feed pigs.

Taking Care of what We Have.

This is an important part of true
farm economy. The final success or
failure depends often upon the use
made Of the product of the farm.
Now is the time to save hay. All
the grass and weeds should be made
into hay. The hay should be we'll
cured and well housed or securely
stocked,
One serious objection to raising cot
ton is found in the fact that it takes
so much time that we often neglect
other crops. Very large quantities of
hay is lost evey year, because we get
so busy working the cotton that we
fail to save the hay. Generally this
is a costly mistake. The hay is a crop
ready for market at time when
money is needed, Hay will usually
pay a much larger clear profit than
cotton.
We urge our farmers to save all the
hay possible and the best way posi-

Hence, Pspsin, Pancreatin and a Host

Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the Seat

TN. u. s. Senator NJ, Z. Butler from
Z South Carolina, was Senator from

period and feel very much relieved.
Ii Is indeed a wonderful medicine bee

The only irrational way to cure dyspep-
STA is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Perma does not produce
artificial digestion. Itcures catarrh and
leaycsthe stomach to perform digestion
in natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial
methods,
Peruna has cured more cases Of dys.

in the head Pcruna cures it, If catarrk
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Pernna cures it. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as well in this location
as in any other.
Pcruna is not simply remedy for
dyspepsia. 'eruua is catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is
generally pendent upon catarrh.
