THE VERY BEST TIME to take
Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is now, If you feel that your
blood is out Of order. Don't wait until
you have to cure disease; it's easier
and better to prevent it.
With the first blotches or eruption,
or the dullness, Weariness, and de-
preston that are some of the symp-
toms, you need this medicine. 1t will
rouse every organ into healthy action,
thoroughly cleanse and repair your
system, and build up needed flesh,
health, and strength. It's the only
reliable blood remedy. In the most
stubborn Skin or Scalp affections; in
the worst forms of Scrofula; in every
disease caused by a torpid liver or
impure blood-it never fails to benefit
or cure.
The machinery of the body needs to
be well oiled, kept in good condition
just as the automobile, steam engine
or bicycle. Most people neglect them
selves. To clean the system take
pleasant laxative, such as DR.. Pierce's

HOW TO AVOID TUBERCULOSIS
Disease Renders More Pork Unfit for
Human Food Than Any Other
Trouble Except Cholera.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
With the exception of hog cholera,
tuberculosis renders more pork unfit
for human food than any other disease.
In 1916, under federal inspection, which
represents only 60 per cent of hogs
slaughtered in the United States, there
were found infected with tuberculosis
594, ,1OS hogs, which were condemned
in part or in whole, nearly as many
as were raised in the entire state of
New York for that year. Aside from
the monetary loss sustained from tu-
berculOsis, the fact that 1t is transmits
slble to the human makes it doubly
important that strict measures for its
eradication be inaugurated.
Hogs contract tuberculosis chiefly
from dairy cows, which are also very
subject to tuberculosis. The disease
in COW infects her milk system, her
lungs, and her throat with tubercle
bacilli-the germs which cause tuber-
culosis in men and animals. Some Of
these germs escape from the COW in
her milk or In her droppings, or she
may cough them out on feed or bed
ding. Hogs get the disease from the
raw milk or droppings, or feed infected
by a tuberculous COW. Pasteurized or
cooked milk will not pass the disease
from infected cows to other animals.
Therefore, to protect hogs from tu-
berculosis and to make sure that the
feed will be turned into meat instead
of into fertilizer
l. See that all milk, especially all
skim milk from the creamery Is pas
teurized or cooked before it Is fed to
the hogs.
2. Keep the hogs from following
dairy cattle, unless the cattle are tu-
berculln tested. Keep them out Of COW
lots and barns, and keep dairy drain
age out of hog lots. Hogs can follow
steers without much danger.
3. Give healthy hogs a chance to
keep healthy. Give them clean, we'll
drained lots and plenty Of fresh air,
sunlight, and clean water. Shelter
them in well-lighted and ventilated,
sanitary hog houses. Keep the houses
clean and use plenty of whltewash
and disinfectants.
If there was tuberculosis in your
swine last year, it is safest to get rid
of the herd, especially the breeding
animals, and raise clean hogs from
fresh stock

NATION NEEDS DAIRY CALVES
Dairyman VIII Be Doing Patriotic
Duty by Developing Helfers-Hints
on Care Needed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
No dairy calf that gives promise of
profitable milk producer should be
sent to the market to be made into
meat. Although meat is In demand,
these calves will serve the nation bet
ter If allowed to grow and produce
milk and more calves. The dairyman,
too, will be doing at patriotic duty by
developing the heifers, and In addition
he will be building up more profita-
BILE herd If he uses good judgment in
caring for his young stock. Careful
attention during the first two weeks
often means the difference between a
sickly, understood, stunted animal and
large, well-developed one, when 1t
enters the herd as milking COW.
Immediately after birth the navel of
the calf should be washed with an an
tiseptic solution and tied with a silk
thread in order to prevent infection.
For the first feed the calf should have
the first milk from the COW after calv-
ing, and should have its mothers
milk for a week thereafter. The SOON
er the weaving takes place the better,
but ordinarily 1t should not be post
poned later than the fourth day. The
sooner the calf is weaned the more cas-
lily 1t Is taught to drink. When first
fed from the pail eight to ten pounds,
or four or five quarts, Of milk a day,
fresh and warm from the COW, and di-
vided into two feeds, are sufficient.
The feeding times should be as nearly
regular as possible, and at first 1t is ad-
vsable to feed more than twice day.
The amount fed should be constant,
and to insure this, scales or measur-
ing cups should be used, as variation
tends to get the digestive organs out
of order. At all times the utmost care
should be taken to prevent any diges-
tive disorder, as all such trouble him

the calf. Calf scours is the most COM

to great extent, tend to prevent
scours:
Feed regularly.
Be sure that the milk Is always
sweet and warm.
In feeding use only clean pals.
Feed the calf little less than 1t
wants.
Should the calf become sick, reduce
the amount Of milk one-half, until the
animal has recovered.
The amount of milk fed can be grad
ually increased until at the end of
the second week the calf receives from
Is to 16 pounds, or three-fourths to two
gallons Of milk day. This time the
gradual substitution of skim milk for
whole milk may commence. Hay and
grain should be placed before the calf
at this period, and 1t will be found to

Young Pigs Helping Themselves.

pigs had free access at all times to
the three feeds placed in separate
compartments of the self-feeder. The
handled pigs We're given ration con-
slsting of s pounds of cornmeal, 4
pounds of middlings, and l pound of
tankage. They ate total of 2,6045
pounds of feed and gained 675 pounds
making an average daily gain of Ia
pounds. 1t required 4101 pounds of
grain to produce 100 pounds of gain in
this lot The settled pigs consumed
their feed in the following proportion:
10 pounds of cornmeal, 2.S3 pounds of
middllngs and l pound of tankage.
They consumed Il total of Abs pounds
of feed and gained LOIS pounds, max
ing an average daily gain Of 162
pounds. In this lot It required 1904
pounds of grain to produce 100 pounds
of gain Settled pigs made much more
rapid gains by consuming larger
daily ration in proportion to live
weight than did the handled pigs, but
this rapid gain did not require any
more feed in proportion to the gains
in live weight. In fact the self-fed
pigs required little less feed to gain
100 pounds In weight.
ShelIed Corn VS.. Cornmeal.
In the other test 10 grade Berkshire
pigs were used, The object of the
test was to compare the value of
cornmeal with that of shelled corn
for use In the self.feeder. The pigs
were divided equally, and both lots
had access to tankage In separate
self-feeder. The pigs averaged about
90 pounds In weight. To complete the
comparison another lot, Qot three)
was fed by hand method. This lot
had the run of an excellent rye pas
ture and was fed all they would con-
sumo Of balanced ration of cornmeal,
middlings and tankage.
Lot one, self-fed on cornmeal and
tankage, made an average daily
gain of 1.6l pounds, or slightly more
rapid gains than lot two, which was
fed by the self-feed plan on shelled
corn and tankage, and made daily gain
of 1.5S pounds. Both these lots made
more rapid gains than the pigs In lot
three, which We're hand fed on corn
meal, middllngs and tankage. Lot one,
however, required 81 pounds more
grain than lot TIVE to produce 100

YES! MAGICALLY!
C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because a
few drops of freezone applied directly
on tender, aching corn or callous
stops soreness at once and soon the
corn or hardened callous loosens SO 1t
can be lifted out, root and all, with
out pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but will
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or callous. This should be tried
as 1t Is inexpensive and is said not
to irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. 1t is
fine stuff and acts like charm every
time.-Adv.

Hogs are good judges Of what they
ought to eat. They can select their
own .rations better than their feeder.
If permitted to do so they will eat the
right proportions of a number Of feeds
necessary to make rapid gains, and,
strange to say, they will make these
gains cheaper than if the ration Is
carefully measured out and fed to
them by a hog raiser. Numerous
tests in which the self-feeder and
hand-feed methods Of fattening hogs
have been compared show that the
marked success of the self-feeding
system is largely due to the fact that
the hogs will eat an abundance of those
feeds which will nourish them to the
best advantage.
