Indigestion and practically all forms
Of stomach trouble. say medical au-

to an excess of hydrOchloric acid in the
stomach. Chronic acid stomach" is
exceedingly dangerous and sufferers
should do either Que OF two things.
Either they can go on 4 limited and

counterfeit the effect of the harmful
acid and prevent the formation of gas.

the use of a little Bisurated Magnesia
at their meals.
There is probably no better, safer
or more reliable stomach anti-acid than
BiSurated Magnesia. and it is widely
used for this purpose. 1t has no direct
action on the stomach and is not a
dlgestent, But teaSpoonful of the
powder or a couple of five grain tab
lets taken in a little water with the
food will neutralize the excess acidity
which may be present and prevent its
further forma ton. This removes the
whole cause Of the trouble and the

sEEE IN NEW ENGLAND

Several carloads of steers and some
breeding hefers were brought into
Connecticut and many more into New
England during the past season. Pre-
liminary reports are coming in and
indicate that these cattle where pro-
vided with sufficient pasture and prop
erly handled, have made buyers
money, Unfortunately some Of them
were turned INFO pastures that were
overstocked and consequently they
did not make the necessary gaiEs to
ensure q profit. Comparatively few
of the cattle were put onto grain, sill
age and hay. Those that Were have
given "a good account of themselves,

that we even knew they were doing
it at all.
We have not learned even yet just
how the cl0vcrs are able to do this

could be done and since then scien-
lists have been at work endeavoring
to find out some method of converting

DEMAND FOR HONEY

The prospects are that 1919 will
see not only a continuation Of the high
demand for honey and beeswax, which
reached a record mark in 1918, but
even greater market demands for bee
products seem inevitable, according to
Lloyd r. Watson, bee specialist for
the Extension Service Of Connecticut
Agricultural College at Storrs. Sew
eral circumstances combine to force
this conclusion; one of the most i'm
portant being the big export demand
created by the war During the last
half of 1918, we shipped across the
water, honey to the value Of approx
mately 100000. This is about ten
times the valuation of honey exported
during any one year previous to the
war.
This home demand for honey has
increased on account of sugar short
age, and although this shortage has
been partially overcome, yet it Is safe
to predict that the honey eating habit
will generally remain. 1t is not to
be assumed that the bee industry will
result in the reduction of the normal
sugar consumption in the United
States, but the use of more honey
will no doubt, lessen the requirements
for cheap and questionable jams and
syrups and confections. Dietarians
insistentiy tell US that no more palat-
able sweet for children can be found.
The United States department Of
agriculture is putting forth unpre-
| cedented effort to encourage the keep
ing of bees, and this department, in
cooperation with several of the state
departments of agriculture, is placing
! bee specialists in the field to give e1
| pert advice and assistance to those
who desire it. The bureau of markets
of the United States department of
| agriculture now publishes for free dis
tribution semi monthly market reports
| giving reliable information regarding
honey markets. This is another valu-
able encouragement to bee-keepers to
increase their honey production.

culture are the recent investigations
and experiments conducted by the bu-
reau of entomology OH the behaviour
and control of European foulbrood.
