What So Precious
AS a Healthy Baby?
Every YonngSfer Can Have Fine
Digestion if GiUen a Good
Baby Laxative.

In spite of the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent attention
to diet, babies and children will be-
come constipated, and it is fact that
constipation and indigestion have
wrecked many young life. To start
with a good digestive apparatus is to
start life without handicap.
But, as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels, we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them to become healthy. This can be
done by the use of laxative-tonic
very highly recommended by great
many mothers. The remedy is called
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
tions. It can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or one
dollar a bottle, and those who are al
ready convinced of its merits buy the
dollar size.
It's mildness makes it the ideal medi-
cine for children, and it is also very
pleasant to the taste. It Is sure in its
effect, and genuinely harmless. Very
little of it is required and it's frequent
use does not cause it to lose it's eff
feet, as is the case with SO many other
remedies.
Thousands can testify to it's merits
in constipation, Indigestion, bilious
ness, sick headaches. etc., among
them reliable people like Mrs. James
r. Rouse, of Marinette, Wis. Her lit
tie son Howard was fifteen months old

back in Indiana. Hall was a poor boy.
When he was sixteen he went bare
footed acquiring the girl of his
choice. Later they were betrothed, but
the girls parents, who were wealthy,
broke the engagement. Hall came
west, married and became owner OF
several rich Missouri farms. Then he
heard of his former sweetheart's mar
rage to one of the rich men of Harris
Vile. Many years afterward he heard
of this mans death. When Hairs wife
died five years ago he received let
ter of sympathy from Mrs. Carr.

PROPER MANNER TO
UNC0IL new ROPE
There Are Two Ways of Per-
forming This important Duty,
One Right, One Wrong.
(By ]. NJ. DREW

The proper way to take rope from
coil Ia to draw 1t from the middle.
There are two ways to do this, right
and a wrong way. II it happens to be
done the wrong way the rope will be-
come twisted in a manner that will
make it almost unmanageable. If done
the right way 1t will come out without
any twisting or snarling and all the
rope in the coil may be drawn out
without trouble. To do 1t properly
the rope should be uncoiled toward
the left, or opposite the way the hands
of a watch or clock run.
By finding the inside end of the coil
and observing how 1t uncoils, one may
tell whether or not he is starting in
the right way. If the rope uncoils to
the right instead of the left the whole
coil should be turned over and the end
pulled through from the opposite side
Of the coil. The rope will then uncoil
to the left and cause no trouble.

Sheep are the most nervous of ami
mails and If allowed to run down
quickly become the prey Of disease.
The well kept, well fed sheep In the
only kind to keep.
Sheep will not thrive In dark.
damp, badly ventilated quarters, even
Il they are only confined in such
places over night. Better keep them
in an open lot than house them under
such conditions.
Never permit the sheep to lie on foul
bedding or in barns that are muddy
and dirty.
Low, muddy pastures make fine
breeding ground for germs and sheep
should therefore always be pastured
on high, dry land.
Never turn a sheep lose after clip
ping without first having dipped him
thoroughly as q preventive Of para
sites.
No matter II the ram or breeding
ewes you buy come from the best
breeding farm in the country, do not
permit them to run with your flock
for at least ten days. This time is
necessary to develop any disease that
may be carried about with them.
Sheep require more careful inspec-
ton than any other farm animal be-
cause the disease attacks them quick
ly and often becomes fatal before 1t
has been really discovered.
A good flock master will not fail
to have every sheep on the place pass
under his own eye once every day.
Some farmers imagine that by
breeding large, rangy lamb with
small eve larger lambs will result
This is seldom the case and the
best results are obsained by breed

ing ewes to rams of the same type.
Oil meal is excellent to prevent IN.
digestion and keep the young sheep
In fine condition generally.
Every flock of so Or mere animals
will be better off under the care Of
sheep dog.
Never buy a sheep dog from a
fancier unless you know positively
that he or his ancestors have been
actually worked on sheep. So many
collies are now being bred for looks
alone to sell to city people that most
of them are entirely worthless for
work among sheep.
The shorter the pasture becomes
the deeper the sheep will go after the
roots. It is bad policy to pasture
grass too closely. It only kills out
the grass and does the sheep no good.
Supplementary feeds must be sup
Piled when the grass grows short
The last month before weaving
time is hard on the mother eve. The
vigorous lambs are pulling them
down rapidly and they must have
plenty Of nourishing feed or they'll
end the season in poor condition.
Whenever you hear a sheep cough
ing you may known that it Is suffer
ing from some sort of disease-indi-
gestion, catarrh, bronchitis. thread
worms or other parasites. They need
attention at once.
We can do much to sustain weight
and quality of fleece by generous and
sensible feeding.
Sheep that are allowed to run down
and become very thin during late
summer will not thrive when the
cold weather comes on no matter
how much feed is given them.

poultry has been paying venture. Let
us not hesitate to try all the late COM
nonsense methods. We must not
drift from year to year in the same
channel or we will certainly become

1t is true that warm water is just
as wet as cool water, but 1t Is not 80
palatable and the hogs will thrive
better If they have a cool drink at
least twice a day. Water should al
ways be within reach.
Hogs exposed to the hot sunshine
day in and day out during the sum-
mer will lose much of the gains they
make even though the clover fields
be of the finest.
The main and only point in raising
hogs is to produce flesh that will
bring the most money and every lit
tie thing that will work toward this
end should be put into operation.

The past week was cold, and over
the southern and eastern counties un-
usually wet Showers were general on
Thursday and Friday, and in many To-
cslities on Monday. The average tenn
perature was about four degrees below
the normal, and light frost occurred
in many sections on two or three morn
ings, but no material damage was done
to fruit, which is still in good condit-
ion. Where the rainfall was not too
heavy rapid progress was made in pre-
pairing ground for corn, and consider
able corn was planted especially in the
northwestern counties. The rains were
beneficial to small grains and potatoes,
and in the eastern counties, where the
soil had been dry, it put the ground in
good condition for blowing.
