We are so positive that our rem

patton, no matter how chronic it may
be, that we offer to furnish the med
icine at our expense should 1t fail to
produce satisfactory results.
1t is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. LaXatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause reaction,
irritate and weaken the bowels and
tend 10 make constipation more
chronic. Besides. their use becomes
a habit that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by weak
ness of the nerves and muscles of
the large intestine or descending
colon To expect permanent relief
you must therefore tone up and
strengthen these organs and restore
them to healthier activity.

ciple of our remedy involved the la

Farm Notes.

Very young lambs can distinguish
their mothers voice even in focks Of
hundreds.
1t is said that ten sheep will eat
as much as one cow and aim to feed
accordingly.
The lambs and ewes are much bene-
flied in being kept separate from the
other sheep until lambs are weaned.
Corn, ground cob and all, together
with a portion of oats, makes a good
feed, not only for cows, but the hors-
es as well.
Mark the SOW which proves a good
mother and treat her with special re-
gard. She will prove a splendid part
ner in the farming business.
Something for nothing never works
out in the dairy. You must put the
feed in to- the cows If you are going
to get the milk out of them.
1t is best not to use trap nests dur
ing the summer unless they can be
looked after every half hour, or the
hens may suffer from the confinement.
Spike tooth harrows and all similar
pulverizing farm implements have no
value nowadays when we realize the
improvements and value of the cuta-
ways and other valuable implements
for fining the soil.
Prof Bailey advises farmers not to
give up agriculture simply because
they have grown too rich to need it.
This is statement that ought to
send some of the young blood of the
country hustling back to the soil.
Grow sheep for both wool and NUT
ton. Both are grown on the same
carcass and both should be considered
in the line Of profit in their produc-
ton. A sheep is no more sheep
without wool fnan it would be with
out mutton.

Grim Turkish Humor.

To the report of the court martial
on the Adana massacres, which has.
just been made public in Constantine.
pie, there is appended a bit of grim
humor. After strongly denouncing the
incapacity and apathy of the vail and
other local authorities in not trying to-
prevent the awful murders of Chris
tian Armenians in Adana, the report
closes by saying that while is have
been already hanged, there are 800
others deserving death, 5000 who de-
serve hard labor for life and $4,000
who deserve minor sentences, says
the New York Tribune. Publicly, so
that the Adana Turks have timely
warning to escape, the report goes on
to say that II the government desires
1t the town will be cordoned and the
matter dealt with expeditiously, but

tion between opposing Turkish fac
tions 1t genially recommends that q

Sultan's Cipher.

That old grasshopper-like combina'
tion of flourishes, the Toughra or sui
tan's cipher, which figures on official
documents and all pubic buildings in
Turkey, will have to be re-engraved
with the name of Mohammed V.
The inscription consists of the
name, the purely Turkish title Of
khan, and the words lever victor"
But the form is always preserved. 1t

able warrior could WELD battleax
to goo monarchs of his time, he had
not mastered the cunning art Of the
pen, so when he had to sign treaty
with the merchants of Ragusa he
smeared his hand with ink and
pressed it on the parchment.
The conventional cipher does not
bear much resemblance to the i'm
print of a human hand. The three
upright strokes are said to be the
three middle fingers. But such as 1t
is, It stands for "Murad, his mark"

Tuberculosis in Herds.

We have no reliable figures to in
dicate the percentage of dairy cows
afflicted with tuberculosis, some in
vestigators making an estimate of 10
percent and others as high at so per-
cent. The one figure is certainly too
low and the other too high. There are
many herds that have never been
tuberculous, some that have been
cleaned of tuberculosis and others on
which every COW is affected. The best
evidence we have of the common
presence of tuberculosis in dairy cows
is the claim made by some dairymen
that a milk famine would result from
the condemnation of all tuberculous
cows for dairy purposes. 1t is stat
ed that the dairymen who make this
claim evidently know what they are
talking about, although it may be as
sumed that they make it rather with
the intention to oppose feared gen.
eral application of the tuberculin test
to dairy herds than to call attention
to an extremely dangerous and objec-
tionable condition. The claim, how
ever is a strong argument to prove
how urgently vigorous action is need
ed to clean dairy herds of diseased an
imals.-Guy e. Mitchell, Washington,

WISE WORDS.

A man never fights so hard for
principle as he does for results.
Occasionally you find a grown man
who seems to eat almost as much as
small boy.
The things that make man dis
contented are not what he has. but
what he wants.
1t is quite natural that fellow will
never have a show unless he has the
price of admission.
Some men are so rich that they
even seem to think they can pay their
respects in dollars.
The man who is easily worked is
always overworked.
He who swallows his pride should
be sure his digestion is all right.
Fine feathers may not make fine
birds, but mans clothes may make
him look like jay.
There are lots of good points about
many man we wouldn't suspect II
he didn't tell us about them.
That women have little sense Of
humor may be due to the fact that
they don't want to laugh and grow
fat.
When a woman's face Is her for
tune she shouldn't have much trouble
in getting through life on her cheek.
The good don't all die young IL
we are to believe the tombstones.
When a fellow tells girl she is
dream, 1t is cruel to her to wake
him up.
Even the man who borrows trouble
is apt to kick if he gets more than he
bargained for.
The man who suffers from dyspep-
STA has little patience with woman
who merely has a broken heart.
Some people take melancholy
satisfaction in always being prepared
for the worst.
1t always worries an absent-minded
man to think he can't remember what
it was he was going to worry about.

Remedy for Gapes,

One of the best remedies, or pre-
ventives, for gapes in chickens is to
keep them on fresh ground where
chicks did not run the previous sea-
son. Chicks on new grassy soil will
seldom become infested with the para
sites. On the bare ground of an old
chicken run, the worms are often
numerous and frequently give much
trouble. The only safe way is to
change the feeding grounds often and
give no chance for infection. The out
door brooder should always be placed
far away from the regular poultry
house and grounds, where birds have
not been fed previously, or where old
fowls have not trampled over it, for
1t is very likely that cape worms are
carried in filth on the feet of fowls
from place to place. 1t is said that
the pest is carried from one farm to
another by igeons.-Farmers' Home

Not Enough Feed.

There seems to be little question
that good many dairy cows work
at a disadvantage and do not bring
their owners the return they might
simply because they are not given a
ration sufficiently large above that
required to maintain their physical or
ganism. Details of a test case in
which this point was nicely brought
out have lately been published by the
experiment station at Cornell Univer-
sity at Ithaca, N. Y. A cow which had
been kept by farmer in the vicinity
for some five years, during which
the average yearly cost of feed had
been s2S and the average return from
milk sold but s25, was taken in charge
by the station directors and for con-
siderable period fed on ration which
cost $32 per year. With this feed she
gave return during the year Of $3S.
Thus instead of being kept at loss
of SO per year she yielded return Of
Sc. OF course, it is seen at glance
that the animal in question was a
very poor stick to start with, but at
the same time with the former feed
ing she used so much of her ration in
keeping her organism in operation
that there was nothing left as mar
gin of profit. 1t should be noted that
an increase Of feed of 81 per year re-
suited in an increased return Of $13.
It is safe to say that at least thirty
or forty percent of the dairy cows Of
the country, as whole, are kept at
q positive loss and couldn't be made
revenue producers under any system
Of feeding. On the other hand. 1t is

WOMEN MASTERS OF HOUNDS
First Known in 1891 Over Dozen
In EnuIand Now.

Twenty years ago the idea of a wo-
man hunting hunds or even being mas
ter OF pack Of hounds was considered
utterly preposterous and absurd in
England. No right thinking man of
that period but would have unhesitat-
ingly declared the privilege of writing
master of foxhounds" after the sigma
ture to be as essentially masculine
prerogative as the using of razors or
the wearing Of trousers.
One can therefore picture the storm
OF criticism which flooded the sport
ing paers when in 1891 woman in
the person of Mrs. Cheape appeared
to demonstrate that it was both pos
sible and practicable for woman to
hunt hounds. Once Mrs. Cheape had
come forward as leader says Baileys
Magazine, other women were not slow
in initiating her example. In 1894 Larry
Clifford and Mrs. Pryse-Rice also start
ed private packs of barriers, while
in 1899 Miss Isa McClintock became
master of the lyman and Armagh har-
riers. Mrs. Talbot Price, Miss Parkin
and Miss Hazel West becoming masters
of foot beagles in 1901 and 1902 sue
cessively.
The first woman to undertake the
mastership Of foxhounds was Mrs.
Hughes (Neuadd Fawr) in 1902, and
the next year Miss Edith Somerville
commenced successful reign over the
West Carbery. In 1904 Mrs. Rigden be-
came Joint master Of the Tickham fox
hounds, and the Misses Rose-Cleland
started their pack of barriers. The
year 1906 gave the North Northumber-
land woman MASTER Mrs. Burrell,
Mrs. Pardo Kirk also starting a pack
of foxhounds in Ireland, and the Coun-
tess of Craven entered on her first sea-
son as master of barriers, while 1907
produced no fewer than three new wo-
men masters Of hounds.
