THE FAMILY HOG

The family hog may play an i'm
portant part in keeping up the Kan
sas meat supply during the war, in
the opinion of Ray Gatewood, in
structor in animal husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college,
"Since food has become one of the
most important items in carrying on
the war, the hog is growing more i'm
portant and more valuable each day.,
said Mr.. Gatewood. "One-third. of
the money spent for food is spent for
meat-America is meat eating ma
ton.
"The average person in the United
States consumes 178 pounds of meat
annually. Of this practically half is
pork, so that approximately one-sixth
of the money spent for food is spent
for pork
"Ham and bacon are selling for
from SO cents to As cents a pound.
Such prices are prohibitve 70 many
persons, and make both products a
luxury in any case. Much is being
done to utilize all waste products, and
yet the family pig could be made to
help many families reduce their meat
bill by eating such waste products as
could not be used in any other way.
"City ordinances in most towns
prohibit the keeping of nie7 WI biz
the city limits, but family living in
the outskirts of town would ind
saving to keep pig. IT must be
remembered that pig kept in close
confinement must be kept under san
itary conditions. No animals are
subjected to more insanitary condi-
tons than the hog, and yet no animals
are cleaner when given the oppor-
tunity."
Breeders and dealers have discov-
cred that just as good Percherons
can be grown in Kansas as in France
if they will but feed the horses as
well as do the French, asserts DR.. C.
W. McCampbell, associate professor
of animal husbandry in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
Late figures show a decrease of
% per cent in the horse stock of
France, said Doctor McCampbell.
"In the past most of the horses i'm
ported for breeding purposes came
from France. 1t is evident that the
war has made impossible the extern
sive importation of Percherons for
many years."

IDLE ACRES A LOSS

idle acres on the farm mean a
financial loss to the farmer, points
out DR.. Theodore Macklin, in charge
of rural economics in the Kansas Ag-
ricultural experiment station. Un-
cultivated land indicates that so many
dollars of the farmers investment
are unutilized and that the farmer or
operator is paying so much rent or
interest on capital from which he re-
ceives no returns.
formerly land was exceedingly
cheap, said Doctor Macklin, "and
then the farmer could not be criti-
cized for not having used the land to
it's fullest extent. Now, however, con-
ditions have changed and land has a
high value.
"The farm acreage of the United
States comprises as per cent of the
total land area, but of this acreage
only 81 per cent is improved land
While much of the unimproved land
is utilized in the production of live
stock, there is far too much waste
land.
obviously if this land were put to
it's proper use it would constitute a
vast acreage which could be used for
the production of food supply. To the
individual farmer any procedure
which would bring into use the idle
acres would result in greater profits
for the farm business.
at is easy to overlook the fact that
land is lying idle on almost every
farm. This has been true because
farming has not been considered a
business, subject to regular principles
which affect other lines of business.
In the planning of farm buildings,
the location and building of fences,
and mapping the shape of the fields
and lanes, much land has been rem
dered unavoidable. With increased
prices, greater profits can be obtained
by farmers who apply themselves to
better planning of farm organization.
1.-TWO outstanding features are
brought on by the war. The supply
of food production is short or insult
ficient to meet the demands and there
are possible ways of increasing the

U. S. SOLDIERS BEST PAID

American soldiers are better paid
than the fighting men of any other
country. An American second class
private receives $33 a month. The
British Tommy receives $3.50 a
month at home, with an additional al
lowance for service in France, Meso-
potamia and other foreign territories.
The French poilu receives $1.50 a
month, while the Russian private re-
ceives only 32 cents month. Austro-
Hungarian troops are paid two and
one-half cents day, and the Italians
get $3.50. Germany has wage scale
beginning at $1.65. Japan's soldiers
at home receive SO year, and Turk
ey gives her men 81 year.-Hugo-

Says Simple Remedy
Prolonged His Life
Dr.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Effective
as a Remedy for
Constipation.

Among older people the various organs
of the body have tendency to slow up
and weaken, and this is usually first
manifest in a pronounced inactivity Of
the bowels
Good health is dependent on regularity
in this important function; whenever
there is the slightest indication of con-
stipation a mild laxative should be taken
to relieve the congestion and dispose Of
the accumulated waste Cathartics or
purgatives should not be employed, how
ever; these are too violent in action and
their effect is only temporary.
A mild laxative such as the cOmbina-
tion Of simple laxative herbs with pep
sin, known as DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pep
sin, is the ideal remedy. It is gentle in
its action, bringing relief in an easy,
natural manner, without gripping or 9TH

taste, and can be obtained in any drug
