THE SAFE LAXATIVE
FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE

Most elderly people are more or
'ess troubled with a chronic, per-
sistent constipation. due largely to
lack Of sufficient exercise. They ex-
perience difficulty in digesting even
light food. with consequent belching
OF stomach gases, drowsiness after
eating. headache and feeling of lassi-
tude and general discomfort.
Doctors advise against cathartics and
violent purgatives of every kind, rec
ommending a mild, gentle laxative
tonic, like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
to effect relief without disturbing the
entire system.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the
perfect laxative, easy IN action, GER

the taste. 1t possesses tonic proper
ties that strengthen the stomach, liver
and bowels and Is a remedy that has
been for years the great standby in
thousands OF families, and should be

Wherever there are dogs and sheep
together there is constant danger that
the latter will at some time suffer.
Sheep are so constructed that even
worrying by dogs seems to shock their
nervous systems to such an extent
that they seldom prove probable. In
most states there are laws against
depreciation by dogs, but because of
their construction many of them are
dead letters, writes G. w. Franklin, in
the Country Gentleman.
| have long since ceased to look
to the law for any loss sustained in
depredations by dogs. l take the
privilege of protecting my sheep in
my own way. My first precaution was
to provide plenty of bells-as many as
one to every six or ten animals.
When the sheep were unduly excited
the bells made such a noise that they
would brighten some dogs, and would
at least arouse sleepers to look after
the flock. Finding. that this did not
work satisfactorily, however, | hung
| lanterns out near the sheppard, but
the dogs became so bold they paid nc
attention to the lights or to the noises

GOOD POINT ON IRRIGATION
No Greater Mistake Could Be Con-
celved Than That of Throwing
Water on Plants In Sunlight.

A good many people have an idea
that water shall not be thrown on
plants in full sunlight. No greater
mistake could be conceived. says
correspondent in Gardening. The
damage to a crop occurs during the
noon hours. and if we could spray
our fields between and o'clock.
say once an hour, we could overcome
severe droughts very we'll. In our
case there was never enough water
used to wet the earth so as to form a
crust; we used the wheel hoe freely
to keep the soil mulch in shape and
only enough water to prevent tagging
in the hot sun. The results obtained
were beyond expectations. Plants
made excellent progress and the cost
of this treatment would be no greater
than the constant wedding and hoe
ing needed in a wet season; added is
the high market prices for all goods
of fine quality.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Crates. barrels and boxes for eel
lar storage must be clean and dry.
Ashes spread under pear trees are
good as a tonic. Most soils lack what
ashes give.
Fruit and vegetables retain a much
richer flavor if buried than if stored
in the cellar.
To prevent rabbits from gnawing
the bark and limbs from small apple
trees, spray with soapsuds.
Pruning during the dormant sea-
son encourages vegetable growth.
Weak trees may be invigorated by
proper pruning when dormant.
Leave the fruit out in some cool
building till about time for hard
freeze. 1t will keep better than II
put down cellar when first picked.
When potatoes and apples are stor-
ed in a cellar look at them
every few days all winter and
see that the ventilation is just
right.
Prune out old canes of raspberries
and blackberries and burn them. Thin
the hills to three or four shoots. Cul
tivate, and add some manure to the
soil
To secure maximum crop of fruit
of the best quality it is necessary fol
each tree in the orchard to have g
maximum amount of vigorous fruit
bearing surface.
For wounds on trees. melt rosir
and pour three parts into one part o.
previously warmed crude petroleum
This will not run in warm weather
nor crack in cold.
If you intend to plant a new orch
ard buy the trees which are bes
adapted to your climate and soil. Con
suit with the orchardist in your stat,
experiment station.
Orchardists who have never uset
dynamite should be sure to get al
possible information from the manu-
facturers of the explosive before al
tempting to use it.

DYNAMITE TO DIG BITCHES
Western Farmers Now Blow UP Earth
to Let Water Throuqh-Swamp
Lands Difficult to Ditch.

Western farmers are now employing
dynamite to dig drainage bitches. The
method is simple and effective in wet
and damp ground.
The first step necessary is to de-
termine on where to put the ditch and
how wide and how deep it shall be.
Then holes are punched with crow
bar at two foot intervals along the
course of the center of the proposed
ditch. In to each hole an eight-inch
dynamite cartridge Is dropped and
tamped in with the mud
After punching rs or 100 Of these
holes and loading them, time fuse
and blasting cap is applied to the
center one. When it explodes all the
rest follow suit. A long sheet of mud
flies into the air, and there is left a
fairly we'll made ditch. The excavat-
ed dirt is scattered over the adjacent
land, much to It's enrichment, and
there is little need for the shovel ex-
cept to even up the sides. The first
time the water goes through 1t trues
up these banks.
The depth of the ditch is regulated
entirely by the depth to which the
cartridges are sunk. When an extra
wide ditch is required all that is nee
essary is to put in a double row OF
cartridges. This center firing method
has been found to be possible only
where the soil is damp and compact
In sandy or other dry and loose soils
the charge cannot be depended upon
to set off each Of the others. but G
separate cap and fuse must be placed
on each to mai. sure
Swamp lands, it has been found
are difficult to ditch in this way, be
cause almost invariably they are I'm
derlaid with hardpan, through which
the water has never been able to es
cape. This hardpan is usually severa
/, feet in thickness, and the plan fol
lowed is to bore hole with an exten
sion auger down almost to the bot
: tom of the hardpan. Several cart
ridges are usually necessary to secur
force enough to break open the hare
pan and allow the water to see
through, thus draining it off and lea'
ing heavy top soils of great richness

HOW TO MAKE
OLD FARM PAY
Stop Starving and Go to Feeding
All Cultivated Land II
Amount Is Only
Five Acres.

1t is a commentary on American
agriculture that in certain sections
there are farms of 100 or more acres
than can be bought for less than the
first cost of the buildings, and in
some cases for less than the policy in
surance companies have placed on said
buildings.
The old farm doesn't pay.
Its forests have been destroyed. Its
soil has been titled, and titled till 1t
would bear tillage no longer and ma
ture went out on one of her inevitable
strikes.
Can the old farm be made to pay?
It certainly can not, by the old
! methods.
The old owner may remain, but the
old farming must stop.
Here are some suggestions. Put 90
acres of the 100 to growing trees.
These may be forest trees or In
part an apple orchard.
If the farm has any smooth leve
land. do the cultivation on that.
Stop starving and go to feeding al
cultivated land II the amount is nc
more than FIVE acres.
For some crops, as potatoes, on I'm
poverished soil, success is being ha6
by the judicious use OF commercial
fertilizers.

My next plan was most successful
one. Attached to the sheep-barn a
sheppard was constructed Of boards,
leaving no cracks on the outside
fences. The partition between this
yard and another adjoining was a
board fence with cracks not more than
three inches wide. On the outside of
the sheppard were dog-guards which
prevented a dog from jumping over
into the yard. The partition fence al
so had guards so that dog could not
Jump over from the adjoining lot. This
yard also had the guard on 1t, but they
were on the inside, so that once he
had gained access a dog could not get
out. The fence inclosing this yard
was constructed Of woven wire, with
the dog-guard, made of smooth wire

into the contiguous lot TO get into the
Sheppard; but when they had gained
/ entrance to this Enclosure they had

There is another method that have
found to be of some value in getting
rid of dogs, but it is not TO be recon-
mended, since it is against the laws
laid down by the humane society. Il
consists in saturating with lard {
sponge about as large as a dog car
swallow. When digestion takes place
the grease is digested and the sponge
swells up on the liquids of the stom
ach and can neither pass out nor b.
digested. The dog soon pines ava.
and dies. No poison has been admin
istered. for lard and sponges are no
poisonous.

Providing Grain for Colts.

Farmers should not forget that
draft colts need some grain this fall.
When the pastures are short, little
grain will effect wonders in a colts
development.
They may be left to eat with the
mares. but it is better to provide a
place of their own. when they get the
amount intended for them. There is
no feed better than oats for young
stock, but it is also good idea to
give a little corn. A little feed at
this time will do much TO make big
drafters out of them.
