General Dem

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 Senna, 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
Me preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy

fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale

A TEN-YEAR RECORD.
able Points for the Dairy Farmer
uggested by Nebraska Station.

l October, 1896, the dairy herd of
Nebraska experiment station was
ablished for the purpose of supply
milk and cream to the class room
d also to furnish animals which
Juld be used in various practical ex-
leriments. The herd was started with
ten animals and increased to q. Dur
Ing the ten years, 160 complete yearly
records were recorded. The breeds of
the herd were principally Jerseys and
Holsteins, with some Shorthorns and
a few grades of various breeds. All
records were carefully kept from day
to day during the ten years and all the
records were compiled The 100 rec
ords show an average of 6,513.2 pounds
of milk, and 1896 pounds of butter
per COW per year. This average made
by number of different breeds cover.
ing a period of ten years gives reli-
able basis for figuring.
The conclusions deducted from the
data are as follows:
AS rule, short lactation periods
result in high per cent, of fat, while
long periods give a lower per cent
of fat.
A large flow of milk is generally as
ISOLATED with low per cent. of fat,
while small flow gives higher test
1t was found, however, that the amount
of butter fat did not vary as much as
the milk flow or the per cent. of fat.
In most cases heifers, with their
first calf did not show as high test
as they did at more mature age.
The per cent. of butter fat did not
seem to be changed by the food ration
given.
In order to know the value of a
dairy herd and it's members, it is
necessary to keep a milk and butter
fat record of each cow from year to
year. Such record will show varia-
ton in the value of the animals and
will serve as a guide in building up
the herd.
The cows varied from year to year
in their butter fat production. The
good COWS were inclined to give large
yields year after year, while the poor
ones were in nearly all cases low.
1t was found that, as a rule, the
variation in milk flow in individual
cows from year to year was due to
length of lactation and rest before
freshening. A long lactation period
favors larger milk production; also,
a long period of rest before freshening
brings the same result.
The years 1905 and 1906 were used
to found the data of this experiment,
and special care was taken to record

Statement Might Be True, But Ger
tainly Was UnhappiIy Expressed.

Il regret to say" remarked Deacon
French, at the last meeting of the
Squashville Political Debate club,
that this club has been degenerating
ever since I became member of it,"
The deacon paused and flushed as
he saw a slight smile on the faces Of
his fellow members.
What / mean to say is" he con-
tinued, with some haste, that ever
since l joined this club I've noticed a
gradual but decided change for the
worse"
The smile on the faces of the other
members deepened, and the deacon's
face turned almost scarlet.
You all know what l mean" he
added desperately. What l mean is
that from the very minute l became a
member of the Squashville Political
Debate club, l could see that it was
beginning to lose its value as an or
ganization, and the longer | have
stayed in it, the more steadily have
seen it running down hill!"-Lippin-

kept on getting worse until it got so
bad that no one could look at him.
His whole face was one crust and
must have been very painful. He
scratched day and night until his face
was raw. Then l took him to all the
best specialists in skin diseases but
they could not do much for him. The
eczema got on his arms and legs and
we could not get nights sleep in
months. l got a set of Cuticura Rene
dies and he felt relieved the first time
l used them. I gave the Cuticura
Remedies good trial and gradually
the eczema healed all up. He is now

you see, the fog gets packed full OF

with it is to cut it up into blocks and
