HOW TOPRFVFNT

By a Stomach Specialist.

stomach troubles. have been forced
to the conclusion that most people
Who complain of stomach trouble pos
sess stomachs that are absolutely
healthy and normal. The real truoble
that which causes all the pain and
difficulty, is excessive acid in the sto-
mach; aggravated by food fermenta-
ton Hyperacidity irritates the deli
cate lining of the stomach and food
fermentation causes wind which dis
tends the stomach abnormally. caus-
ing that full bloated feeling Thus both
acid and fermentation interfere with
and retard the process Of digestion.
The stomach is usually healthy and
normal, but irritated almost past en-
durance by these for eign elements
acid and wind In all such cases-and
they comprise over 80 per cent Of all
stomach dificulties-the first and only
step necessary is to neutralize the
acid and stop the fermentation by TAX
ing in little warm or cold water i'm
mediately after eating. from one 70
two teaspoonfuls of bisurated mag
nesia, which is doubtless the best and
only really effective antacid and food
corrective known. The acid viii be
neutralized and the fermentation stop

food in 4 healthy normal manner. BE

forms utterly lacking in its peculiarly

First Farm Paper in 1851.

So far as we can learn, the first at.
tempt at publishing an agricultural or
farm paper was made in England in
1851. John Houghton started the col.
lection of letters for the improvement
of husbandry and trade. AS the name
implies, Houghton had the right idea
Of a farm paper. He filled it with
the practical experience of his read
ers.
In that age, 200 years ago, America
was supposed to be wilderness, yet
it is probable that Boston and New
York knew more of each other than
one rural county of England knew
Of the next one. Those were the days
when, in order to stimulate the cloth
ing trade, the English parliament
passed laws ordering the burial Of the
dead in wooden cloth. There is no
record as to how Houghton obtained
his ubscribers.-Rural New Yorker.

Men and Women Comrades.

1t is not the factory system and
the small family, improving public
health and postponed marriages, that
work for the success of feminism, but
that much despised thing-a spiritual
force That force is simply the
spreading recognition of the comrade,
ship of men and women which is the
result of our expanding knowledge
and our expanding sympathies, and
which operates independently Of fac-
tory systems and birthrates. We NAV
call it, if we will, one phase of democ,
racy. Wherever the nations are en-:
gagged in struggle for liberty, men
now freely accept women as their
partners in the struggle and in the
fruits of victory. This is the explana1
ton of Finland and of Russia; in the
unequal contest against despotism the
man turns to his immemorial helpmeet
"a hateful word now robbed of it's de-
graded connotation. The spirit Of
comradeship between the sexes flour
ishes most strongly where the imme.
date need for it operates most
strongly-New York Evening Post

(By w f. PIIRDuN.l

ID is a common error that all mules
are vicious. To "kick like a mule" is
proverbial and misleading saying.
Mules are not worse than horses in
this respect. While it should be de-
MED that mules are naturally vicious,
it is undoubtedly true that some are
made so by ill-treatment and abuse.
The same is true of horses. In gen.
eral, the mule is quiet and patient in
temperament, and, when properly in
structed during it's youth, is just as
steady and reliable as horse. 1t is
much easier to take mule colt in
hand at an early age and train it prop
erly than it is to take an older animal
that has been misused and overcome
any habits or tricks arising from
years of poor management. Kindness
is the best policy in dealing with
mules as we'll as with other domestic
animals. Mules that are accorded de-
cent, humane treatment when young
nearly always make dOcile and tract
able work animals, and are always
ready to respond to good, common
sense treatment. The mule that is
roundly abused becomes ugly in the
same way as the horse develops
viciousness when he is continually
mistreated.
The mule foal's education should be-
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1915-07-29

gin early. The young animal should
be accustomed to the halter and taught
to lead before being weaned, and
thereafter it should be handled regu
larly until time to break 1t to harness.
Gentle methods are desirable in the
latter operation. If the young animal
develops normally, It is capable at two
years of age of doing considerable
farm work, and in any case it is ad
visable to give some light work. 1t is
not well, however, to put mules at
hard work much before four years of
age. The mules keep is reckoned at
a third less than that Of a horse.
For the indications of disposition of
old mules look at the head and eyes.
say those who have handled these ami.
mails for many years. Avoid mules
with abnormally long heads, as well as
those with hollow faces. The eyes OF
the gentle mule are soft and mild and
set we'll apart A sign of docility in a
young mule is indicated by constant
motion of the ears; one ear pointing
forward, the other backward is also
regarded favorably. But beware of the
mule that habitually lays the ears
back upon the neck, say the authOri-
ties. 1t is claimed by some that the
little mule is more apt to be ill-tem
pered and vicious, and that the larger
the animal the better the disposition.
