PUBLIC SHARING THE BURDEN
Has Been Largely Shifted From
Private Purses.

Out of nearly 500, 000, 900 spent last
year in the treatment and prevention
OF tuberculosis in the United States,
69.3 per cent. of the money was de-
rived from public funds, either fed
eral, state, county or municipal. These
are some of the interesting figures Civ
en- In the annual statistical statement
Of the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis.
The statement is based largely on &C
tual reports received from anti-tuber-
eulosis agencies throughout the coun-
try, but where reports were not avail
able the figures have been estimated.
Treatment of t~uberCulous patients in
the more than 500 sanatoria and hos
pitfalls of the country and the construc-
ton of such institutions cost over $751;
Doc, 900 of the total expenditure. Care
Of patients in dispensaries and open
air schools cost about $S25,OOO. Anti
tuberculosis associations and commit
tees spent nearly $675,000 in further
Ing their work of organization and edu-
fation, while state and local boards OF
health and special tuberculosis com
missions spent over $4,000

rates the shifting of the burden of in
stitutional care of consumptives from

Since 1909 the percentage of public
money spent in tuberculosis work has
increased from 53.5 to nearly 20 per

stitution to insure the best results.
She must also have a large udder,
large milk wells, large crooked milk
veins and good-sized teats.
Her head should be clean and an
gular in appearance, with the eyes
standing out prominently. The neck
should be rather long and lean; the
shoulders pointed and the backbone
rather prominent. The skin should be
loose and soft to the touch. In select
ing herd bulls either mature animals
which have already demonstrated
their worth as sires or younger ami
mails from high-testing dams and sires
only should be used.
The best and surest results will
always follow the use OF a mature
sire which has sired heifers with
good records. A good dairy bull
should be kept until he is twelve or
fifteen years old; in fact, as long as
he is a sure sire. Real good sires are
so rare that when we do find one he
should die only Of old age.
All breeders of dairy cattle should

PROFIT BY GOOD CARE
Poultry on the Farm Receives
Indifferent Treatment.
Close Watch. Should Be Kept or Bust

Infectious Disease.
cBr r. G. wEATHERsToNE.l

(By r. G.. WEATHERSTONE)
No matter how good the stock may
be if they have not the proper care
they will pay you no better than mon
grels. Poultry on the farm, as a rule,
receives Indifferent treatment,
What does care mean? 1t means
q close watch on the business all
round. 1t provides every comfort,
prevents disease by keeping the prem
ises perfectly clean, never oyercrowds'
and keeps the fowls busy, sorts out
the drones and gives the workers bet
ter attention. In short, care means
using business principles in every
sense of the word.
The farmer is net giving the proper.
care when he allows his fowls to roost
on trees, in wagons, wagon sheds, OF
on the board fences: The proper care
is not given if the appetites and con-
ditions of the fowls are not studied.
System and regularity play an i'm
portant part in care. Economy in
labor, the saving of steps, the saving
of muscles, the saving of time-all are
important.
Shiftlessness causes expensive ex-
p~eriences. There Is sure TO be pront

is accorded to management. ont

to do it well. There are tDo many
who go by luck" They do not stop
to think. They do not take notice of
the little matters. They are always
hurrying to get done.
1t is said quality makes prices, but
1t costs considerable labor and brains
to make quality. Good management
curtails expense. Successful poultry
men use good common n methods,
some others but little method, and
alas, some not any method at all.
Hard luck is generally brought
about by Encouragement. Disorder
creates disgust. Study and care, and
not luck and big talk, are the elements
of success
To quote Judge Brown: There are
too many poultrymen who let their
enthusiasm go down as the mercury IN
the thermometer goes up or down
The men who make the marked sue
cess in poultry raising are those
who never flag in their attention
those who know that the increased
labor and close attention hot weather
brings must be religiously observed
the same being the cas- when the
cold weather is with us. 1t is the
man or woman behind the hen rather
than the breed that brings success.
Scrub treatment will bring abou'
scrub results. The best paying breed
is the one that is best cared for. Zea
in the prosecution of the work shoulC
be the characteristic of every poultr!
breeder.
In conclusion, 1t must not be for
gotten that success depends on man
agement. Business attention given t.
a flock of properly housed hens woul'
be a revelation to many, especially t
the farmers themselves.

Good Bowels Are
An Aid to Growth
Growing Children Need a Mid
L0soffve 70 Foster Regular
Bowel Movement.

As a child grows older it requires
more and more personal attention
from the mother, and as the func-
lions Of the bowels are Of the utmost
importance to health, great attention
should be paid to them.
Diet is of great Importance, and the
mother should watch the effect OF GER
tain foods. A food will constipate one
and not another, and so we have a
healthy food like eggs causing bilious
ness to thousands, and a wholesome
fruit like bananas co~nstipating many.
It Is also to be considered that the
child is growing, and great changes
are taking place in the young man or
young woman The system has not yet
settled itself to its later routine.
A very valuable remedy at this
stage, and one which every growing
boy and girl should be given often or
occasionally, according to the indiyid-
ual circumstances, is DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. This is a laxative and
tonic combined, so mild that it is
given to little babies, and yet equally
effective in the most robust constitu-
ton. At the first sign of a tendency
to constipation give a small dose of
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring, and

mThe Devil to Paw"

The expression, The devil to pay
and no pitch hot" had its origin in the
ship yard. When calking the seams of
the deck it was important that the
oakum in those seams should be kept
dry. This was done by paying" or
in other words filling the seams with
hot pitch, which was done with a
long-handIed mop made especially for
that use. If a sudden shower should
come up and wet the oakum before the
seam was ''payed" or filled with pitch,
the fresh water would rot the oakum
and there would be the devil to pay"

Calumet the Secret of Economy

The high cost of living nowadays, and
the way prices are steadily climbing SKY
wards, is making economy in the kitchen
ever more important than IT was in the
good old days of our thrifty ancestors.
But how to achieve economy? There's
the rub!
In many lines, It depends almost en-.
firely on the housewives knowledge or
foods and on her wa~tChfulness-but for
tunately, In one line, baking. economy
can be made almost automatic by the use
OF the famous Calumet Baking Powder.
Economy in baking, as every good COOK
knows, depends not so much on economy

makes in buying. And the fact that Calu,

we contend.
The third essential is feeding. The

and clover mixed. The sheep like
this very much, and If the mixture
is put into the barn IN good shape
they will more than thrive on il.
Sheep relish a good corr fodder, and
it should be given to them at least

REQUIREMENTS FOR SUCCESS
Clean, Dry Place With Plenty Of
Fresh Air and Sunshine Among
Essentials In Wintering Sheep.

There are four very essential things
necessary in wintering a flock Of
breeding ewes. The first is a clean,
dry place with an abundance of air
and all the sunshine possible. The
house or shed must be sufficiently
warm for the lambs TO do well from
the start, should they come in March
or February, but there must not be a
dollhouse warmth.
The second essential is pure water,
and plenty of it. Sheep that eat show
for water will be found in a very diff
ferent condition from those which
have access to water at all times. Re-
member that a sheep drinks but little

then distributed along the trench just

with the soil. The trench Is then re.

being taken that the crowns are not
covered nor the upper parts OF the
roots exposed. Plants may be kept in
this way for some time without being
