/. Wayne Reynolds and r. T..
Cameron were appointed to look
after the proper care of our records
to date.
Prof. Schmitz stated that expert
demonstration work is now conduct
ed in eight counties of the State.
The work he says is undoubtedly
doing good; but added that much
depends on procuring a good dem
onstrator. These men he adds, are
free from politics, that they are in
a sense a bureau of information,
that every farmer in the county,
may consult and have in immediate
consultation on all important sub
jects; as an example he stated a de-
monstration may consist in Il q
growth of seed wheat or of spraying
etc. The subject was freely dis.
cussed and it was decided to in
vite DIR. Stabler, who has charge Of
the demonstration work, to lay the
subject before the Club at a future
meeting.
Experiments being in order, John
Cullen reported that the milk
sheets for keeping the milk records
such as he uses, are furnished free
of cost by the Experiment Station.
j. III. Maxwell reported losing
two pigs from feeding ground
wheat, oats aud corn, mixed with
warm separated milk. Wayne
Reynolds also stated that his pigs
went off in their feed, from using
too much milk. He also stated
that his growing wheat was show
ing much better where it had been
covered with snow, than bare
places unprotected
j. Harry Maxwell that his cows
the first year he was a member of
the COW testing association had
averaged 5000 lbs. each, that with
the increased knowledge and care
of his herd he has brought it up to
1000 lbs. for the present year, or
to be exact 118,O0O pounds from
1S COWS for the eleven months to
date. This he attributes solely to
the fact that he knew exactly what
each COW is doing, and was able to
feed accordingly, especially in July
and August, when the pasture fails.
An acre of sowed corn more than
offset this feed and kept the milk
flow up. He drilled with wheat
drill every third tooth open, and
worked it once.

Watch Carefully
The ChId's Diet
Start Them off Right With a
Good Laxative and Then
Watch Their Food

Watch Their Food
Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different per
sons. Hence avoid what seems to
constipate the child or to give it in
digestion, and urge it to take more
of what is quickly digested.
If the child shows a tendency to
constipation it should Immediately
be given mild laxative to help the
bowels. BY this is not meant ply
sic or purgative, for these should
never be given to children, nor any
thing like salts, pills, etc. What the
child requires is simply small dose
of the gentlest of medicines, such as
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which,
in the opinion of thousands of watch
full mothers, is the ideal remedy for
any child showing o tendency to con-
stipation. So many things can hap
pen to constipated child that care is
necessary. Colds. piles headaches,
sleeplessness, and many other annoy
ances that children should not have
can usually be traced to constipation.
Many of Americas foremost fami-
lies are never without Syrup Pepsin,
because one can never tell when
some member of the family may need
it, and all can use it. Thousands
endorse it, among them Mrs. NJ. E..
Patten. Valley Junction, Iowa, who is
never without it in the house. Mrs.
