The
Exceptional
Equipment

of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attainments of It's chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles Of plants known to act most
beneicially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA and as the gen.
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge Of the above facts enables
one to decline limitations or to return them
if, upon viewing the package, the full name
of the California Fig Syrup Co. is not found
printed on the front thereof.

This happened in the days when his

miles from railroad. The officer of the

Raising Pigs.

The cheapest way to put gains on
young pigs is through the SOW. She
has a strong digestion and can turn
coarse grains and pasture into easily
digested milk. Careful experiments
show that a pound of weight taken
from the SOW will make more than 1
pound Of gain on the pigs, the flesh
of the young animals containing more
water The SOW should be fed to pro-
duce a high milk yield, and the pigs
should be kept with her until they get

How to Set Fence Posts.

Any timber will last quite well if set
in this way: Dig square hole about
a foot deep, throwing the dirt well
back. Sharpen the post and drive well
into the bottom, then put a fat stone
against each side and a chunk against
the post, the boards holding it the
other way. This prevents their rotting
off at the surface of the ground as
they always do.

Handling Geese.

In handling geese they should always
be taken by the neck, and when lifted
from the ground the body should be
turned with the back toward the per-
son handling it. In that position it
cannot strike, and will remain quiet
and dociley. The body can be partly
supported by Selling the first joint of
the wing with one hand. If the goose
is held facing one, it will strike hard
blows with its wings or scratch with
its feet.

Alfalfa Planting.

1t should not be forgotten that the
spring is the proper time to prepare
the alfalfa crop that is to be planted
next fall. The ground which is ex-

not be planted to small grain; neither
should corn precede alfalfa, because
the ground Will not be kept free Of
weeds and grass. The best prepare
tory crop for alfalfa is cow peas; then

pecially allow no earth grass to grow
in the crop.-Chfcago Inter Ocean.
