There Is Money in Butter Making.
tain the best results it is essential
that the animals purchased for the
dairy should be of the strict dairy
type, and be made permanent part
of the farm live stock. Those who
purchase COWS with the intention of
milking them but short time and
then selling them off when the price
of butter-fat drops or when the ami
NAL goes dry naturally look more fer
beef producers rather than milk pro-
ducers. 1t is impossible to build up
a good dairy herd by this method.
Dualpurpose animals may be used
in some localities to good advantage,
but to get the best results one of the
special dairy breeds should be used
This does not mean that only thor
oughbred animals should be used, but
animals that are bred for milk pro-
duction. A good dairy COW should
produce enough butter-fat in her best
days that the value of the beef may
be of secondary Importance, if not
entirely ignored.
A person purchasing an implement
considers first how much service he
can get out of it and not its value
as scrap iron when worn out. Those
who purchase dairy COW should con-
slider how much butter-fat she will
produce and not the value of her hide
and carcass.

Over-Night Relief
for Constipation
A Small Dose on Retiring
and You Are Well and
Happy by Morning

1t is only natural that the simplest
OF ailments should be the most gen.
eral, and so We have a whole nation
suffering from constipation and indi-
gestion, for they are closely allied. But
common as constipation is many peo-
pie do not seem to know they have
it. They viii complain of headache,
drowsiness or biliousness, all uncon-
scious Of the cause of the trouble.
You should have a full and free
movement at least once a daX. II you
pass a day you are constipated. and
the result will be that you will catch
cold easily or have more serious
ailment. To cure the constipation and
forestall still graver trouble take a
dose of Dr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin at
night before retiring and by morn
ing relief will come, without disturb
ance from sleep or any Inconvenience.
Legions of people use it regularly in
such emergencies. some of them form
erly chronic invalids who have suf-
fered from constipation all their lives.
Mr.. A. B. Danner, 1926 Riley St, Har-
risburg, Pa, says: Or. Caldwelrs
Syrup Pepsin gave me almost instant
relief from stomach and bowel trou-
BILE. Il now eat anything / want, and
sleep we'll" Many others will tell you
that they have tried most things rec
omrnended for this purpose but have
found Syrup Pepsin the only one al
ways reliable. A bottle can be obtain
ed at any drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar, the latter size being bought

OLD TABLOID RECORDS FOUND
Tablets in Babylon-ShoW In
ventions of Centuries Ago.

I'VE think we are a great people"
said the retired army officer. taking
off his glasses, land we feel that we
are progressing at a tremendous
pace, but here's a newspaper account
saying that the French government
has unearthed in Babylonia 1000 tab
lets, giving a history in full of the
reign of the ancient kings. Here we
find for the first time that Babylon,
and not Rome, was the real Mother
of Law In those days there was a
system of courts and of appeals that
even suggested a recall. Sir, this re-
port also states that during the days

way in the kingdom. And, shades of
Grover Clevelandi-it has also been
proved beyond doubt that the Egyp-
tian government In $500 B. c. had a
perfected system of civil service.
There is record that the first tur-
bine engine was invented by the
Egyptians, and that Archimedes de-
vised this mechanical continuance by
which the fields could be watered
when the Nile was low This is the
same principle that is used to drive
the latest additions to the Cunard-
ers."
What shocked the doughty old
American most of all was the informa-
ton that four thousand years ago
the phonograph was used in ancient
Egypt, and was in reality only per-
fected by Edison in the nineteenth
century. There is evidence also Of
the use of wireless telegraphy before
the Christian era. while the Egyptian
alphabet has proven to be a scientific
key to organized human speech. 1t is
hard blow to our self-suffi cheney to

EXQUISITE AGONY,

1T was, to say the least of It,"
London letter remarks, lust little
bit awkward that the electric light
went out the other evening at the
town house of a presumably wealthy
widow who had been doing a good
deal of political entertaining. The
guests, to the number of dozen, had
just finished their soup when the I'M
fortunate incident occurred. The
scramble to find a sufficient number
of candles so that the dinner might
proceed was attended with a great
deal Of difficulty and no little amuse-
ment. The butler, who is described
as being a bit new to his job, was i'm
mediately told to telephone to the
electric company, report the catas-
trophe and demand attention to the
matter. 1t was a trying moment for
the guests when he returned to the
dining room and announced in real
Cockney accent: Please, my lady, the
gentleman what's on the telephone
says they sent several warning letters
unless the account was paid active
steps would have to be taken.

PLACE FOR HENS TO SCRATCH
Leaves Make Excellent Material If
Gathered When Perfectly Dry
Dat Straw Is Cheap.

There are a number of different ma
terials which furnish an excellent
place for the hens to scratch in, says
a writer in the Poultry Journal.
Leaves are probably the stuff most
used by the small poultrymen. These
are good if gathered when perfectly
dry. They must be put into the pens
every few days, because the poultry
will break them into dust by their
continual scratching. l find oat straw
about as cheap in the long run, be-
cause it lasts quite q while and furn-
ishes some feed if fed before thresh-
ing.
Some of my neighbors have tried
feeding buckwheat as scratching
material and a feed combined Buck
wheat is too fattening and shoufs be
used only occasionally. Corn husks
make an excellent scratching material
Shredded or cut corn fodder does very
we'll if there is nothing else on hand.
/ do not like any form of meadow
grass or swale for scratching ma,
terial because it mats down too much
when cut and not enough when not
cut
