Positive Relief
For Constipation

The progress Of modern medi-
cal science Is, perhaps. no more
forcefully evident than in the
simplifying Of many Of the old
time remedies of past genera
lions. For instance, the harsh
cathartics and violent purgatives
used by our forefathers to re-
heve constipation are now known
to be not only unnecessary but
really harmful. Constipation can
be more effectively relieved with
out the discomfort and pain these
old-time remedies occasion.

. tive herbs with pepsin. sold in
drug stores under the name of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
most effective, yet mild and
pleasant. It is absolutely free

profit of $197.90. The low cost of
production, combined with the high
price received for his seed corn,
brought him a greater profit than any
Of the other corn club boys in the
northern, central and western states.
Earl Zeller is neither a novice at
corn growing nor was last year his
| first as a prize winner. In 1912 he
grew al bushels of corn at cost of
$13.67 and made net profit of $197 80.
That year he was also awarded the
state championship of the Iowa boys
corn clubs.
In 1918 he ranked second, with a
yield of 1913 bushels, which cost him
$11.02 and brought him net profit of
$159.5S.
Interesting Figures.
Over three year period this boy has
grown on a club acre 403 bushels of
corn, averaging 1874 1-3 bushels, at a
cost of $3634, or an average Of 81
cents per bushel. His net profits for
these three years ON three single acres
of ground total $4,000.
This young corn champion attributes
a large part of his success to his "ear
to the row" breeding plot, which he
began in 1909 with Reds Yellow Dent.
planting ten ears in Individual rows.
At harvest he selected FIVE good ears
from the highest yielding row. He
showed them at the contest at Ames
in January, 1910, where he won the
ltate championship.

The second state champion of the

Fairfield. His yield in 1914 was 100

yield was about fifty bushels compared
with 1863 bushels from my acre
There was a difference in the ground

the seed used. This showed me the

A GOOD MICHIGAN RECORD.

The Iron county (Aiich.) champion po-
tato club boy grew 800 bushes Of po-
tatoes on a measured acre last season.
The variety was high grade Sir Wal
ter Raleigh. The report to the depart
ment Of agriculture is as follows:
Besides growing this amount OF po-
tatoes he studied potato culture. varie-
ties, fertilization. diseases, selection for
purity of type and variety in the field
and cellar. These were the big things
done. The two brothers, Arthur and
Emil, are hustlers. Their father Is
very anxious to have the boys go on
and get everything they can from the
work. At first somewhat skeptical, but
granting the boys request for ground
to grow the potatoes. he has become
now an enthusiastic supporter Of any
thing where the boys may improve
their opportunities.
Spraying, cultivation and roughing
out any impure varieties kept the boys
very busy together with their other
work helping on the farm. Their fa-
ther has lived on the present farm only
six years and has had to clear 1t up
from the virgin forest of maple and
birch. where plenty of stones are found
enough to keep one thoroughly awake
in breaking and cultivation. The sum-
mer went on, and the boys worked at
their potatoes.
Share Honors. M
At the county fair these boys COM
peted in the country club work, where
they won a first place on potatoes, and
by good potato mems statements the
same exhibit would have won first
against the open class for all farmers.
But the boys did not stop here. They
sent exhibits, after a careful selection,
to the upper peninsula potato con-
gress and again took first honors.
The boys were induced to get up
sample for the state and national
show. They had not put aside any
special show stock and had to take
their show sample from the bins,
which they did After considerable
sorting samples were secured, boxed
and sent to the state show, where
again they were victorious, getting
first place in an open class for any va
riety of peck samples.

They beat me. There are the potatoes.
They did not cheat me, for helped to
measure them, and was sure to heap
up theirs good and strong. They did
not have many culls; the potatoes were
smooth and uniform. They did put
good amount Of work on them. But

least not to my way of thinking. Their

Many good things have been said
and done by tbs farmer in his enthu-
siasm and eagerness to know how bet

But the point in 1t all is-it pays far
beyond the honor of prizes by making

profits, training for the future in man
