W. IN. NIioeIl, an authority oli iloS
raising says of the cary maturing of
stock:
There are two ways of doing stock
one IS to do them rather badly at
start. and rush them ut the end.
this is very generally practiced The
other way is to do them We'll all the
way through, and get them to finish
off as soon as possible consistent with
their age. know which l am in fa-
vor Oft is tine latter method. as it
not only secures superior stuff, but it
is we'll known to all who have tried it
that the animals that are pushed in
every reasonable way are the most
profitable. | never yet knew the hang
ers-on prove first rate in the end, or
leave big lot of profit behind them
They grow slowly and get into "a kind
of standstill condition. 1t is these we
often hear 1t remarked of that they
are little or no better than when seen
months previous. They neither have
good frames nor capabilities for catch
ing up their hindrances which stamped
them as moderate or inferior in their
earlier days. III Is about these one is
often forced to observe that they are
no further forward than they were
weeks or months ago.
When a we'll treated animal comes
to be fattened or finished off. it is a
very easy operation compared with the
worrying up hill work necessary to get
the interior ones up anywhere near
the mark. 1t is then one wishes they
had been more generous, either i'm
buying in a better class, or in treating
| home reared animals. This applies to
bacon pigs and porkers. sheep. lambs
and beef. What detestable things old
lanky pigs are 10 fatten, They devour
endless food before they attain any
| thing near quality. Young lamb In
| perfect condition is a delcacy OF the
first order but when they only creep
into salab!e and Strengthening order they
are little better than common mltton

Wallace Farmer: Farmers who have

fire and let the hogs eat them at will.
They are so greedy for them that they
will scarcely wait until the fire Is out.
but will eat them at the risk of burn
ing their mouths.
n better way is simply to dig a round
hole, say three feet across and three
feet deep, build a good fire with wood
cobs. and when they are properly
charred through but not burned 10

If this summers run OF swine should
swell above the average summer move
ment it will be at the expense of some
of the good breeding stock that has been
held in the hands of corn belt farmers
with such excellent results In recent years
says the Northwestern Agricuturist Dis
courasing prices for hogs during the las.
winter have operated to repress the en-
thusiasm regarding hog production with
which the atmosphere of rura! regions
was 50 thoroughly surcharged in years
heretofore. Already there is evidence of
widespread inclination to reduce the
production of pigs. With much curtail-
mert in the production at such a time
we all know what it Will mean. The
man who sticks TO hog breeding persist
entity in the depressed year as we'll as
the years when prices are popping UP
to render that business the best money
maker on the farm Will have hogs to sell
at good prices all through the time when
the man who sacrifices his good breed
ing stock and gets out is kicking him
self because he got out just at the wrong
time

TIE
Gen eral Demand

of the Well informed OF the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a 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
sornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

over the new horse which the de-
partment bought Monday. He is a
dark bay and stands 17R hands
high, weighing about 1880, being
just a shade taller and heavier than
his running mates, which will make
him a tip top horse for the center.
The department has been without
horse since last July, when one of
the blacks went lame in the Shout
der and since that time they have
been working with two horses when
they could not borrow the third.
Chief Dawson spotted the new ami
