YOurHea|th Don't Endanger It
 With CaIome!

It is generally agreed by ex- perts in this country and Europe that calomel has a very violent effect on the system. This ac- counts for the familiar disagree able feeling accompanying a dose and the weakened condition fol- lowing it.
 Liv-Ver-Lax is a harmless veg etable compound, that is a mild but effective substitute for calo- mel. It has all the effectiveness, but not the effect, of caIomel. It's splendid value has brought it into such wide use that in some states it has almost entirely re. placed calomel.
 Just try Liv-Ver-Lax once and you'll never use calomel again. Insist on the genuine, bearing the likeness and signature of L.. K. Grigsby, which is guaranteed to give satisfaction or money re- funded. For sale by Hesterly Drug Store.

cottonseed meal. When the cattle are

cottonseed meal. When the cattle are put on pasture, cottonseed cake which is the same as the meal in substance, can be used profitably as supple mentary feed. The cake has several advantages over the meal for this pur pose, among others the fact that it is so rapidly spoiled by rain.
 Cottonseed meal is also recommend ed as a winter ration for the breeding herd. About ? pounds of the meal should be given to the breeding cows per day together with some silage, stover and other roughage. This will prove an economical ration and one which will leave the COWS in good con dition in the spring. The bull also may be fed from ? to pounds of cot tonseed meal combined with some other concentrated feed, but some au- thorities hold that it is not we'll to continue this feed too long as it is believed to have injurious effects upon the breeding powers. Farmers are also warned to feed cottonseed meal very sparingly if at all to young cal yes. This question has not been thor oughly investigated as yet and until more knowledge is at our disposal specialists consider it advisable to be on the safe side.

COTTONSEED MEAL
 FOR BEEF CATTLE

Washington, D. C., April 24.-Five times as many farmers as at present, should be using cottonSeed meal, ac- cording to specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture. It has a slightly greater feeding value than linseed oil meal and the farmer is therefore recommended to secure prices on both and to use the one which happens to be the cheaper at the time. During the past winter cot tonseed meal sold for S24 to $28 a ton while linseed oil meal cost about S3S a ton. Under such conditions the feeder using cottonseed meal had a great advantage over the farmer using linseed oil meal.
 Cottonseed meal contains 3S to 45 per cent protein and is therefore one of the most concentrated feedstutfs upon the market. There are in fact very few vegetable feeds which have anything like this percentage of pro- tein. Its value has perhaps been more thoroughly appreciated in Europe than in this country despite the ad- dititonal cost of shipping it abroad. During 1915, for example, about 400,- 900 tons of the meal were exported to Europe. Much of what remained in this country was used as fertilizer, so that it has been estimated that Amer ican cattle were fed less than one-half of the total quantity of meal produc- ed in the country. There is, however, growing tendency at the present time to use the meal as a supplement tary feed
 In a new publication of the United States Department of Agriculture, Farmers Bulletin 655, "Cottonseed Meal for Feeding Beef Cattle" pound of cottonseed meal is said to be usually worth as much as 2 pounds of corn for feeding cattle. There is, however, a distinct limit to the quan- tity of the meal that an animal can use economically. In the South it was formerly the custom to feed steers very heavily on the by-products of the cottonseed oil mills, 12 to 15 pounds of meal a day being a not infrequent ration. Such heavy feeding frequent ly caused blindness and death, while in other cases the steers after gain ing fast in weight for a period of 90 days or more, lost flesh with equal 1, rapidity and could be with difficulty | got back into condition. Experiments 1, have shown, however, that when the ! ration is kept below ' pounds day. steers can be fed for 100 to 120 days ] upon it without showing ill effects. l If silage is given at the same time, as roughage, the feeding of cottonseed | meal can be prolonged beyond this time with safety. Silage is better roughage to use with meal than cot tonseed hulls, as experiments in sev- eral States have shown that it gives | larger daily gains and better finish
 For wintering stocker cattle a ra- tion of corn silage and cottonseed meal l has proven very economical. Two pounds of the meal combined with as much corn silage as the cattle will eat will give a small gain in weight Straw and other roughages which cannot otherwise be used advantage ously may be fed with the silage and

and dead boughs.
"You might as well chop down the
old trees" said Mrs. Powell. They
are nearly all dead anyway"
Don't you believe itr exclaimed
Sam. "You just wait till I get through
with those old trees. They look mighty
shabby now. but they'll come to life II
you give them a chance. I've Just

so he set to work. moving down
briers and weeds and mixing them into
piles and burning them. When this
was done he took n saw and q pair or
