General Demand

Of the Well-Informcd Of the World has
always been for 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 Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy

DIPPING WATTS FOR SHEEP.
Best Results Are Obtained Where

I would not think of making another
wooden one. as the steel vat is much
more durable, and therefore causes
much less trouble. l have used many
kinds of standard dips, and the results
have been very satisfactory where the
Instructions were carefully carried out.
Three weeks old is rather young for
lambs to be dipped, says writer in
Farmers Voice, but I do not hesitate

sHEARlNo SHEEP ~ HAND.
Two Methods Of Doing the Work Ar
Popular with Shearers.

Two methods Of hand shearing are
popular. One of these is known as
the long method and the other one as
the round method. Both have their
advantages and disadvantages.
When sheep are shorn by the long
method the shearer begins by remov-
ing the wool from the head. He then
opens the wool on the throat and
shears from the underline of the same
to the top of the neck. This is con.
tinued until point is reached at or
near the shoulder blade. The posi-.
tion Of the sheep is then reversed, and
the wool is similarly removed from
the other side of the neck. A series
of rings are thus made, extending
from the head to the shoulder blade.
The sheep is then laid on its side.
The wool is then shorn from shoulder
to buttock on one side. The cuts are
made similar and parallel and of equal
width.
The sheep is then turned over and
the wool is removed from the other
side. shearing from buttock to stern.
A good shearer keeps the shears
gnawing. as it were, through the wool.
rather than making distinct cuts each
time the shear handles are pressed
together.
When the sheep are shorn by the
round method the animal is placed on
it's buttock, explains the Orange Judd
Farmer. The wool is first removed
from the brisket downward to the
fore flank. 1t is then shorn from
right to left clear across the belly. The
wool on the entire belly thus re-
moved hangs on the left side of the
fleece. The wool is then opened up on
the underside of the neck, and begin.
ming at the ears the neck and body
are shorn by running the shears to
the ridge of the top line. The sheep
is then turned over and the right side
is shorn in the same way. Each line
made by the shears should be at right
angles with the top line. Sheep thus
! shorn have zebra-like appearance
that is very attractive. An expert
shearer will never cut the wool twice
that is, he will not, even when shear
ing past the spinal column, point the
shears SO high that the wool will
have to be clipped again.

MARK TWAIN ON MONEY.
Humorist Points Out What He Consid.
ers Some Wrong Conceptions.

Mark Twain said that the financial
panic has caused wrong idea Of the
use and value Of money.
THE spendthrift says that money,
being round. was made to roll. The
miser says that, being fiat, it was
m@le to stack up Both are wrong.
Strangely wrong. too in their ideas
about money are the veteran Aus.
tralian gold diggers. These simple
old fellows, though worth perhaps a
half million or more. live in the sim
pie dug-outs and shanties Of their lean
early days.

tralian port. There was no porter il
sight to carry my luggage. Seeing a
rough-looking old fellow leaning
against a post with his hands in his
pockets, beckoned to him and said:

Hoos After Cattle.

The practice of running hogs after
cattle to live off the d-oppings is a
practice that it would be we'll to
abandon. 1t is filthy practice, as all
must admit What is worse, is that
it spreads tuberculosis, and perhaps
other diseases to the swine, which in
turn &re eaten by human beings.
There can be no disputing the fact
that many cattle are affected with
tuberculosis. Moreover, it has been
recently shown by the government in.
yestigators that the droppings of cat.
tie are the most common means OF
spreading the disease. So long as

ease continue to fix itself in the swine,

EXERCISE FOR BROOD SOW.
She Must Be Kept in Condition al
All Times Of the Year.

The exercise of the brood SOW should
be looked after even in the summer
time. This should not be forgotten
till the sow is just a few weeks from
farrowing. She should be given a
good lot of exercise all the time Of
her life, that she may work large
part of her food into good, strong
muscle, rather than into fat. The SOW
that is kept closely penned will not
make muscle, but fat and she will
transmit to her offspring weakened
constitution, which means largely a
lack Of muscle-making power.
The muscle-making power is a large
part of the constitution of any ami
mall The animal that has the power
to develop good muscle will make a
powerfully-built heart, which is one
great muscle. A powerful heart
to send the blood with great force
all through the body is large factor
in the proper development Of the
frame.
Therefore give the brood SOW a
good lot of exercise in the bright
sunlight, and in the pure air, in pas.
ture where there is no dust flying in
the air. Some sows are given their ex.
ercise in dry lots where every foot.
step sends the dust into the air Nat.
urally some Of this gets into the
lungs of the SOW, and this is not a
desirable receptacle for dust. 1t must
be coughed off with mucus
The exercised SOW will be more pro.
life than any other, for she will have
the material out of which to make
progeny, because not only the mus.
cles of the heart, but all the other
muscles of the body will be strength.

Hoo, Roofing in earnyard..

Some hog raisers advise to let the
hogs have the run Of the barnyard
and root over the manure. They say
that the exercise is good and that
It improves the manure. In addition
the hogs get much food out Of the
manure. But this is not a practice that
should be encouraged. The manure il
not the proper kind of medium to
carry the food of any animal. It is
known that tuberculosis gerus fire.,
quently exist in manure in immense
numbers. and we know that hogs are
very susceptible to the disease. Let
them root in clean soil instead and
hunt for roots and grubs.
