STIRRING UP SLEEPY SWINE
Sow That Does Not Exercise Never
Does Produce Good Piss-Maks
Them Get Out and Hustle.

Some sows, like some people, are
just naturally lazy and inactive. They
spend their time lying about and
sleeping. while their more ambitious
sisters are up and hustling about.
Ask any hog man who has kept his
eyes open what kind of litter such
SOW begets. Invariably he will tell
you small, weakly bunch of pigs
with no strength and no vigor. The
SOW that does not exercise never does
produce good pigs.
Mismanagement will sometimes
make the whole herd inactive. This
of course, Is true where the sows are
given all they want to eat and kept
confined in close quarters.
1t will pay the herdsman to OBJ
serve his herd pretty carefully and to
get after the sows that are sleepy
and inactive, and make them get out
and hustle. Feed them but little in
side and let them get out and hustle
for their feed in the manure left by
cattle, for instance. Or scatter feed
about outside in the yard where they
will have to root around to get it..
Anyway, adopt some measure that
will waken them from their lethargy
II you want to get good pigs.

SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
Experience Of a Southern Man.

"Please allow me to thank the origi.
nator OF Postum. which in my case.
speaks for ITSELF" writes a Fla. man.
Il formerly drank so much coffee
that my nervous system was almost .
wreck" (Tea is just as injurious be-
cause it contains caffeine, the drug
found in coffee.) "My physician told
me to quit drinking it but had to
have something, so tried Postum.
ITO my great surprise saw quite
change in my nerves in about 10
days. That was year ago and now
my nerves are steady and don't have
those bilious sick headaches which I
regularly had while drinking coffee.
Postum seems to have body-build-
ing properties and leaves the head
clear. And l do not have the bad
taste in my mouth when get up morn
ings. When Postum is boiled good
and strong, it is far better in taste
than coffee. My advice to coffee drink
ers ie to try Postum and be con-
vinced."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle

Postum comes in two forms:

instant Postum is a soluble powder.
