How. 10 Dress Calves.

Calves from three to six weeks old,
and weighing about one hundred
pounds, or say from eight to 12O
pounds, are the most desirable weights
for shipment. The head should be
cut out, so as to leave the hide of the
head on the skin. The entrails should
all be removed, excepting the kid
neys; the liver, lights and heart should
be taken out. Cut the carcass open
from the neck through the entire
length-from head to bumgut. If this
is done they are not SO apt to sour and
spoil during hot weather because of
not being cut open. Don't wash the
carcass out with water, but wipe out
with dry cloth. Don't ship until
the animal heat is entirely out and
hang several hours, or overnight, in
an airy place to properly cool off be-
fore shipping.
Calves under fifty pounds should not
be shipped, and are liable to be con-
demned by the health officers as being
unfit for food. Merchants, too, are
liable to be fined, if found selling these
slunks, for violation of the law. Very
heavy calves, such as have been fed
on buttermilk, never sell we'll in our
market-they are neither veal nor beef.
Fasten the shipping tag, with your
name and address written plainly
thereon, to the hind leg.-American

To Test Acidity of Soils.

Supposed corrective treatments are
often given to soils supposed to be acid,
when as matter of fact an opposite
treatment may be required. A recipe
given by the department of agricul-
ture for determining soil acidity is as
follows:
Boil for half hour sample Of the
soil to be tested III q small quantity Of
water, say quart. Allow it to settle.
and when perfectly clear, pour off the
water into white dish and test It
with both blue and red litmus paper.
These papers can be procured from
any drug store for few cents. If the
soil is acid, the blue litmus paper will
turn red. If 1t Is alkaline, the red lit
NUT paper will turn blue. Ten minutes
should be allowed in the water for
the litmus paper to chance color. IF
at the end of that time there is M
change, then the soil is not acid nor
alkaline
1t should be understood that such
test as this is not determination of
whether or not soil needs lime. Tho
question of lining of soil is still
mooted subject. Much evidence has
been presented to prove that limino
OF soil has been most beneficial when
the soil was in no sense sour. IT, how
ever, the soil does show strong acid
ity by the litmus or other positive
.ests, 1t is safe to say that lining will
be beneficial.

Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Well Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
swcetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

Dairyinq as a Business.

Men do not engage in dairying usual
ly for just the fun of the thing. But
they go into 1t to make money. No
man ever made any money out of any
business, until he gave it some study
and attention. Dairying as business
is no exception. The man who gives 1t
the most study is just the man who is
making the most money out Of it.
There are so many small things, up
on which success hinges, that slip
shod methods will not do here. In the
first place, one must know how to Sc
lect good milk cows; he must know
how to feed them, and then he must
know how to take care of and market
his product to the best advantage.
To be profitable, dairyins should be
carried on the year around. Dairy
products command the highest prices
during the fall and winter months,
so the dairy man must plan to have
plenty of feed to keep his cows in good
flow during the months they are of
pasture. He must have part of his
herd to freshen in the fall, and by wise
feeding turn his grain and forage in
to high-priced products. Unless you
intend to take hold Of the PROPOSE
ton right, don't tackle the dairy bus
sness.-L G. B., In the Indiana Farmer.

OF the first in the United States to
study this material and recognize its

Hemp Plan, Along Gulf Coast.

The valuable nature Of the Wora
aow being carried on In Texas BY the
United States Agricultural Depart
ment is again shown by the discovery
that the "abaco" or hemp plant can
be successfully grown in the South
west Gulf coast country. Expert
ments have been carried on the last
year and the hort;culturists are con-
WINGED that this valuable addition
can be made to the list Of Texas
crops.
1t has long been the theory that the
hemp plant would not grow success
fully in any section Of the world OK
cept the Philippine Islands. Efforts
have been made to transplant 1t to
Africa, India and South America, but
with little success Heretofore Manila
has had a monopoly of the hemp trade
and the finest ropes and oordage come
from that city.
The hemp plant is q variety OF
banana and has exactly the same ap-
pearauce as the broad leafed plants
found growing in many San Antonio
yards. 1t was quite by accident that
the discovery was made that the
hemp plant could be successfully
grown in Texas.-San Antonio Ex-

CURING a KICKING Cow,

Every once in a while one sees In an
agricultural paper an article on how
to cure kicking cows. With a kicking
cow that has the habit well formed, no
art will avail, at least when there is
new mixer. On this. point John
Stfnson in writing to the Farmers Re-
view says: | have handled a great
many kicking cows, and am absolute
ly of the opinion that COW must be-
come acquainted with her mixer be-
fore he can ever hope to cure her OF
the propensity, and then the cure will
exist only so long as the mixer re-
mains with her. Whenever new
mixer appears the habit will revive.
have known of kicking cows that
have been MIXED by the same mixer
for years and would not allow them
selves to be MIXED by any other per-
son unless they were so thoroughly
tied up with ropes that they could not
move. The. best method of curing
cow of the kicking is to use gentleness.
The mixer must develop the power
to hold his temper under all conditions.
Even then, if the cow is like some
that l have known, he will find 1t to
his advantage to restrain her by rope
put around her legs in the form of
a figure eight" This should be
placed around the legs just above the
bend of the legs. The rope should be
Topped at one end and the loose end
passed through the loop, completing
the figure eight. The rest Of the loose
end can lie in the lap of the mixer
The friction of the rope in loop will
hold the figure eight in place, and If
he COW attempts to kick, it will give
only so gradually that she cannot de-
liver a blow. If 1t is made fast she !
will feel herself under restraint and
perhaps become excited and throw her
self. found this to be one OF the
Jest methods for saving the mixer
