pura From s,srt to FInI.h.

There Is perhaps nothing in daily use use
in the home In which purity Is SO I'M I'M
portant as 1t Is In baking powder. On
Its purity depends the purity OF tne ma
terials used, the success of the bakings.
. etc. And possibly the one thing @ that
has served to make Calumet Bakihs ilI
critical cooks of the country. Is the fact
that Calumet is pure from start to flnish.
You can rely on Calumets purity, for
the simple reason that every ounce OF
the materials used Is first tested by ex-
perienced chemists and then mixed with
the utmost care to insure its uniformity.
And standing in the can or changes OF
weather. ETC.. cannot alter 1t In any re-
spect. ,
But perhaps the best thing of all. Is
the fact that Calumet never falls Every
baking in which Calumet is used. is sure
to come from the oven as light and as
fury as you can wish. This not only
means wholesome. tasty foods-but
big economy as well. Try Calumet next

happens. The eve that has plenty of

eve that is not given good chance.
Flushing is especially desirable in
large fiocks where 1t is desirable to
have the ewes all lamb at nearly the

With many fockmasters 1t is con-
sidered desirable to have the ewes
bred as early as possible SO as to
have the lambs ready for the early

1t has been found that by flushing

earlier than they would otherwise. and

Acceptable GIFT.

A woman who has travelled widely
says one of the most acceptable gifts
one can make to friend going on a
steamer is box or jar OF stuffed
prunes. These are rarely given, can
be eaten when other fruits are In
digestible, and are mildly laxative.
AS one authority advises free use Of
prunes for nervous people, declaring
they have quieting effect, the eating
the prunes on shipboard should help
to check seasickness-always aug

Many farmers realize that when
hogs are taken sick the case demands
immediate attention If they expect to
save any of their hogs. Some farm.
ers are very careless and walt till
the disease is well started. and even
then do not pretend to follow direc.
tions. 1t is surprising that these
careless farmers save any OF their
hogs after disease starts.
All these facts simply go to prove
that the sensible way is to handle
your hogs in such a way as to pre-
vent disease. Build up and improve
the constitutional strength This is
what will save you great loss from
hog cholera. When your hogs are
sick with the worst kind of hog chol-
era we do not believe anything will
help them. and the safer way in such
cases is to take an ak and kill them
at once, and then burn the remains.
This is for the malignant form of hog
cholera. In a majority OF cases they
do not have this very fatal form. and
they can be cured with the proper
treatment.

PREVENTING DISEASE

Many Farmers Realize That
When Hogs Are Taken Sick
the Case Demands Quick
Action.

1t is of the greatest Importance in
the care of the swine that the owner
should always have in view the pre-
vention of disease rather than the
cure. Hogs are subject to but few
diseases, and these are malignant,
epidemic or contagious of the most
serious type. It is very difficult to
give medicine to a sick hog, and this.
combined with the rapid course of the
disease which affects them, makes the
treatment of disease very unsatisfac-
tory in severe cases of hog cholera,
pneumonia, etc.
The average stockman calls every
disease hog cholerap which affects his
hogs. A well-known professor of Cor
nell, gives fifteen different diseases
that are generally called hog cholera
Many of these diseases are very seri-
Gus, and run their course SO rapidly
that sometimes few days neglect
causes the loss of nearly an entire
herd of hogs. This explains why one
farmer will take a remedy and cure
his hogs, when perhaps his nearby
neighbor will take 1t and not obtain
such good results. In nine cases out
OF ten It will depend on whether the
farmer is careful and systematic In

py ELMER HENDERSON,,


A flock of ewes just weaving lambs
and In thin flesh at the time OF con
ception are apt to be very poor sub
jects for maternity IN the spring. No
matter how well the eve may be fed
Just previous to the time OF lambing,
she will not be in her best condition
to nourish her offspring unless she Is
In fair condition at the time of mat
ing.
The reason is at once apparent II
eve is thin when she Is bred the
burden of growing the young is too
much OF strain upon her to allow OF
her gaining much flesh. This brings
US to what Is known as "flushfng''
among old shepherds.
Flushing may be defined as putting
the eve upon highly succulent and
nutritious feeds just previous to mat
ing
have said before that It was neces-
sary to have the eve in good flesh at
the mating season. This is Just the
object of flushing
1t has been found by all practical
shepherds that pint of grain in
September is worth a quart at lamb
ing time. The reason is that the eve
fed grain In the fall has very little
burden to bear In the shape of the
growing young, while In the case of
the eve heavy with lamb all the food
eaten goes mostly to nourish the
foetus. 1t will be inferred that IL
grain will make the difference In the

vent of cool weather.
Whether this is the reason or not
does not matter to the farmer II he
knows whether this or some other
reason applies. he gets the results
looked for, which is OF vastly more
Importance.
Oftentimes the means nearest at
hand are the best and this is true in
our particular case. The meadow Is
used for fall feed for the ewes. The
aftermath that springs up In the fall
makes good growth and furnishes a
very nutritious and highly palatabla
food. II there Is some clover in 1t So
much the better. as there Ia no food
better for sheep.
Rape makes very excellent food
and am very partial to 1t. A small
patch of rape sown in the summer,
by this time is large enough to make
a lot of good feed. Another way is to
SOW rape in the corn at the last culti
yation and turn the sheep In the corn.
If few sheep are turned into lot

ed to run there for some time before

not bother the ear
Where it is Intended to make rape
and corn serve this double purpose OF
pasturing the ewes and the weaned
lambs 1t is well to plant lot OF
pumpkins for feed for the lambs later
In the fall They will do their own
gathering and they are the best pos

believe 1t would pay every sheep own
er to feed half pound of oats to his
sheep every day during the fall and
winter. even though they are on lux
-uriant pasture.
There are many other ways Of car
ing for the ewes than the ones men
toned. The only point OF great i'm
portance is to give good. green food
and lots of 1t. What the kind of food
will be, every farmer can best decide
for himself. but this much is certain:
