KIND OF COWS TO KEEP.
Raise Them Yourself and Be Sure OF
Their Mllk-Giving Capacity.

1t Is not sufficient to have certain
number of cows. They should be
adapted to the work--dairy cows, not
beef animals, that can only produce
sufficient milk to raise a veal calf.
Such cows are not the most profitable
ones to keep. Aim to raise your own
cows, then through selection ana
breeding the producing capacity OF
your herd can be increased.
II you do not feel equal to the ex'
pense, cooperate with your neighbor
and purchase good dairy sire. The
influence of a good sire towards i'm
proving the quality of stock, especial
ly where grades are kept, is very
marked.
Lay your plans for silo at just as
early date as possible. The silo has
come to be recognized as one of the
most important buildings on the dairy
farm.
Care should be taken not to feed
COWS food capable Of imparting OBJ
jectionable odors or fiavors to cream.
Turnips and other stronsfiavored
foods can only be fed Immediately
after milking, but 1t Is better not to
feed such foods to dairy cows, 1t is
not necessary and it is too risky.

PEA WEEVlLS AND THEIR WORK.
Examine Your Seed Before Planting
To Discover Presence of Pest.

There Is only one generation of the
pea weevil each year, says S. A. John
son of Colorado. The eggs are laid in
early summer on the outsides of the
pea pods when the young peas are just
beginning to grow. They are deep vel
low in color and glued fast with a
sticky substance, which turns white
on drying.
When the eggs hatch, the young
grubs burrow through the pods and
into the peas where they live and
grow until after the pea is ripe for
harvest.
The presence of the weevils in the
peas may be readily detected when
the peas are picked for table use by
the presence of dark spot on the
surface, as though the pea had been
pricked.
Before going into the adult stage
the grub gnaws round hole nearly
or quite through the skin of the pea,
so that it may escape when the proper
time arrives.
A careful examination of the peas
before planting ought to reveal these
holes IL they are at all numerous.

Construction of Feed Rack.

In the mud there Is now no such waste.
The yards can be kept clean and all

helpful to certain extent as protec-
ton from the weather.
The illustration gives a very fair
idea of the construction of the racks.
They are 16 feet long, eight feet wide
and eight feet high They are mount
ed on three 2x8 skids and can be
drawn to different parts of the yard.
The framework is built around six up
right 4x4s braced with 2x4s around
the top. The Stats in the rack are
made of fencing The rack Is floored
with inch stuff and sided up with 1x12
boards over which Is ks board to
add strength where the cattle lean
over the rack. A 2x6 80 inches above
the ks and around the rack prevents
crowding and adds strength to the
rack. A rack of this kind calls for
the following bill of material:

General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits OF the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-lnformed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
