Getting Rid Of Colds.

The easiest and quickest way to
get rid of a cold Is to take Chamber
iain's Cough Remedy. This prepara-
ton has been in use for many years
and its value fully proven. No mat
ter what remedy you use. however,
care must be taken not to contract
n second cold before you have recov-
cred from the first one, and there Is
serious danger of this. A man Of
middle age or older should go to bed
and stay in bed until fully recovered
Il is better to stay in bed three days
at the start than three weeks later
on.

Don't Feed Hogs Before Killing.

In preparing hogs to be slaugh-
tered fast of - to 80 hours. plenty
OF water, careful handling. and rest
before slaughter are all important in
securing meat in the best condition
ior use, either fresh or for curing
purposes. the weekly news letter OF
the U. S. Department OF Agriculture
points out Food in the stomach
decomposes very rapidly after
slaughter, and where the dressing is
slow the gases generated often az
feet the flavor OF the meat. Water
should be given freely up to the time
of slaughter, as it keeps the temper
ature normal. 1t is highly import
ant that the animal be not excited in
any way sufficiently to raise the tent
perature of the body. Ii the animal
becomes heated it is better to allow
it to rest overnight before killing
than to risk spelling the meat. 1t is
also essential that the hog be care
fully handled so as not to br,,ise its
body.--Poland China Journal.

Topeka, Jan. Io.-John Fields. ed,
itor of the Oklahoma Farmer, told
the Kansas farmers at the forty
eighth annual meeting of the board
of agriculture today that il they
stopped trying to grow corn where
corn didn't want to grow, and would
plant crops suitable to the climatic
and soil, they would have
had more money during the war than
had been invested in Liberty Bonds
by the people of the state. He point
ed out that Kansas farmers had lost
I64 million dollars during the last
two years trying to grow corn i'll d
region where corn was well known
to be an uncertain crop.
