Sugar BeetS as a Stock Feed.

Stockman have long been of
the opinion that a ration of man.
gels of sugar beets in some way
causes kidney or bladder stones
when fed for any length of time.
To shed some light on this SUBJ
ject the Iowa experiment station
has been carrying on some ex-
periments in feeding mangels
and sugar beets to rams. The
result of these experiments show
conclusively that such feeding is
attended with considerable dan
ger and is almost sure to prove
fatal if continued for any consid-
cradle period of time. For short
fattening periods there is no par
ticular danger, and the roots
make a valuable addition to the
ration. Country Gentleman.

Amount of Grain on Pasture.

Growing or fattening pigs can
nj be produced satisfactorily on
pfure alone, but a grain ration
is ecessary. The Montana ex-
pement station found that hogs
fed full grain ration on pasture
gaibd on an average 1.39 pounds
periog per day and required ALP
poufs of grain for 100 pounds of
gain Hogs fed a half ration of
grailgained SO pound per hog
per I " and required POI pounds
of gltin for 100 pounds of gain.
Thusit will be seen that the hogs
fed full grain ration on pasture
matemore rapid gains, but con-
sumd much more grain for every
100 punds of gain.

Sample Helps e
FraiI Women

So many women are dragging out
weary lives just because their diges-
tive organs are weak. The result is
poor circulation, nervousness and the
verge of invalidism. 1t is often very
unnecessary and the woman's own
fault.
The first thing to do is to look to the
welfare of your bowels. There the trou-
BILE usually lies. All physicians know
that large percentage of women are
habitually constipated, and from this re-
suits indigestion. piles, WEAKNESS. etc.
that women constantly complain OF.
But there is no use taking "female rem
edies" and things of that kind until you
have started your bowels to moving.
You win find that when the bowels move
regularly once or twice a day all your
petty ills will disappear. Take a good.
mild laxative tonic like DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin for awhile and you will
find yourself rapidly getting better and
stronger. your bowels will regulate them
selves and work at stated times, and
then your headaches and dizziness will
disappear. Don't take strong cathartic
pills or salts. but just such a mild and
pleasant tasting remedy as DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin.
You can obtain bottle of your drug
gist for fifty cents or one dollar. and
nently cure you. Thousands of women
keep it regularly in the house and will
no longer be without 1t, as it cured them
and can be used with safety by every
member Of the family, down to the
youngest child. but if you have never
used it take the advice of Mrs. Earl s.
Cox, 400 Twentv-fifth street. Moline, H..
and Mrs. Ellen DUNCAN, Muncie, Ind, and
send to DR.. Caldwell for free trial bot
tie. as they did. and learn for yourself
what it will do in your own case That
1t will cure you, as it did them. there is
no doubt
DR.. Caldwell personally will be pleased
to give you any medical advice you may
desire for yourself or family pertaining to
the stomach liver or bowels absolutely
free of charge. Explain your case in a
letter and he will reply to you in detail.

A Toast to Laughter.

Here's to laughter! the SUM-
shine of the soul, the happiness
of the heart, the leaven of youth,
the privilege of purity, the echo
Of innocence, the II easure of the
humble, the wealth Of the poor,
the bead on the cup of pleasure;
it dispels detection, banishes
blues and mangles melancholy,
for it's the foe of woe, the de-
stroyer of depression, the enemy
of grief. 1t is what kings envy,
peasants, plutocrats envy, the
poor, the guilty envy, the inno-
cent; it's the sheen on the silver
Of smiles, the ripple on the wat
ers of delight, the CLINT on the
gold of gladness, without it hui
NOR would be dumb, wit would
wither, dimples would disappear
and smiles would shrivel, for it's
