last night from Vienna announce d
change for the worse in the condition
of Emperor Franz Josef. The Emper-

Vienna, instead of going to the coun-

FOR EVERY FAMILY
MEDICINE CHEST

To the head of every family the
health of its different members is
most important. and the value of an
agreeable laxative that is certain in
its effect is appreciated. One of the
most popular remedies in the family
medicine chest is a combination OF
simple laxative herbs with pepsin that
is known to druggists and physicians
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
preparation is mild and gentle in its
action on the bowels. yet positive in
its effect. A dose of Syrup Pepsin at
night means relief next morning.
while its tonic properties tone up and
strengthen the muscles of stomach.
liver and bowels so that these organs
are able in short time TO again per-
form their natural functions without
help.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and sl.0O
bottles. If you have never tried this
simple. inexpensive. yet effective
remedy. write TO Or. W. b. Caldwell,
2O1 Washington St, Monticello ILL.,,
and ask for a sample bottle. DR. Cald-
we'll will be glad TO send it without
any expense TO you whatever.

GETTING READY FOR ORCHARD
Much More Needed for Ultimate Sue
cess Than Mere PIanting-seIeo-
ton Of Ground important.

The nursery stock is beginning to |
arrive for the new orchard plantations |
and 1t would seem that the usual num-
Der Of fruit trees are TO be set out this |
spring. In growing a commercial orch
ard, the experience is much and |
varied. There are so many conditions
prevailing that close and diigent
study Is quite essential To grow a
good orchard. much more is needed
that the planting, says the Denver
Field and Farm. We must first tamil
iarize ourselves with the character and
nature of soil and trees, the prevailing
winds as we call them, the different al
titudes and last but not least, the per
picking problem of cause and effect,
the last of which embodies natural
laws in their simplest form.
The first step is the selection of the
ground. The first choice is a northern
exposure. the second. a western, and
the third an eastern, and last a south
ern. To prepare the ground, clean.
plow and level It thoroughly in such
manner that there viii never be high
and low spots in the direction of the
irrigating burrows. All blowing and
preparing ought to be done in summer
and fall previous 10 planting. A broad
deep furrow is made with a large lis
ter or two single plows, left hand
and right hand bolted together. At
tach four horses and go several times
through the same row in opposite d.
rections. but not all the same day. Just
before planting go once again in the
burrows to pulverize the soil. All this
can be done very rapidly. The trees
should be so planted that in after
years they will be accessible and con-
venient for all purposes. This means
that no trees should ever be planted
on a rquare.
by LAYING the trees wide apart the
way the irrigation burrows are TO run
always gives ample room to cultivate.
irrigate. pick. spray. haul out. etc. II
the land is so that the irrigating fur
rows run north and south. the wide
rows should be from east TO west and
close in the row north and south. This
occurs most frequently in Colorado.
BY this means the sun gets full action
on the ground and trees on the east
side in the morning and on the west
side in the afternoon. While the dis
tances may be varied, the most con-
venient for apples are l6 by p feet.
l6 by 80 or &c by IS; peaches. plums
and cherries. Il by 90 or l6 by 20 feet
pears. l6 by "a feet. When the rows
are furrowed out the wide way, rig up
something with a team to cross the
burrows. and by driving straight TO
stakes. make the marks for two rows
at one time and the work is quickly
done. Then it is a very simple matter
to dig out the tree holes at the inter
sections. and if this Is done In the fall
or early winter so as to catch later
frosts so much the better.

Do not be in too much of hurry to

II the horses do not shed their

Regular. systematic feeding should
be practiced with hogs, just the same
as with any other stock.
Brood sows require n mixed diet
and one containing plenty of protein
and not too fattening quality.
Though hogs are proverbially dirty
animals. they enjoy clean drinking
water as much as the other stock.
A big. hot bran mash. with pint OF
fax seed jelly, once a week will help
the horses to shed their winter coats.
A chilly hog takes on fat very
slowly, his rations going toward main
tanning bodily heat instead OF produc-
ing flesh.
If you want to know the dollar and.
cents difference between pure-bred
and scrub hogs. try shaping up one
of each kind and selling them.
Hogs in the fattening pen should
be supplied with large quantities OF
clean. pure water. 1t is required &c
properly digest and assimilate dry
feed like corn.
You cannot reasonably expect hog
to do his best on a single grain ration
any more than you would expect q
horse to keep in good flesh and do the
maximum amount of work II fed on

nesting material for the hogs to crawl
