appetite and nothing agreed with her.
"Our physician told us to give her
some California Fig Syrup. It made
her pick up right away, and now she
is as robust and happy as any child

Children like the rich, fruity taste
Of California Fig Syrup, and you can
give 1t to them as often as they need
1t, because it is. purely vegetable.
For over so years leading physicians
have recommended it, and its over
whelming sales record Of over four
million bottles a year shows it gives
satisfaction. Nothing compares with
it as gentle but certain laxative,
and 1t goes further than this. 1t

and gives tone and strength to these

mally, of their own accord.
There are many limitations Of Cali

name california" on the carton to
be sure you get the genuine.

Across the Atlantic

The first air crossing of the Allan
tic was made by the United States
navy's seaplane NC-4. which made
the crossing in May, 1919. from Ire
passy Bay, N. E., to Plymouth. Eng
land. with stops at the Azores. Lis
bon, Mondego river and Ferrol. Two
other seaplanes which attempted the
feat at the same time were unsuc-
cessful. The NC-4 was commanded
by Lieut.. Com. A. G. Read, U. S. A.,
under whom was crew of four.
The first nonstop fight was that OF
John Alcock and Arthur w. Brown
English and American flyers. who
crossed from St. Johns. N. F., to
Clifton, Ireland. in June, 1919.

straight Burrows"

Many modern farm blowing nipple
ments really contribute to soil erosion
when they are used for straight rows
over sloping fields. rather than MAX
ing the rows follow the contours Of the
land. This was strikingly demon
strated on a Kansas field. With
straight rows 70 per cent Of 3-inch
rain ran off, while with the rows fol-
lowing the contours of the slopes only
16 per cent of the rain ran off.
To correct erosion conditions, new
cultivating machine has been devel-
oped which leaves the field in a pit
ted'' condition. The shovels Of the
machine alternately 60 up and down
and each "pit" dug by the shovels
holds about three gallons of water.
This allows the water to soak into the
ground, rather than run of.

SECRETS OF HOTEL
SACRED TO WAITER
Good Reason for Discussion
Over Caviare.

The Soviet government has done
great deal towards changing hui
man nature, despite the popular the
DRY that this cannot be done, writes
Bruce Bliven in the New Republic.
Yet Russia is a large stubborn coun.
try, and these things take time. /
was reminded of this fact in Rus
sian city. which I think had better
De nameless, by my experience with
the waiter and the caviare.
"A foreigner, unaccustomed to the
Russian food of today, learns to lean
rather heavily on caviare, which is
not prohibitively expensive. In this
city I was living on the American
plan at leading hotel, under an ar
rangement by which / was entitled
to caviare with both dinner 5 D. M,
and supper II p. m.
In the dining room sat each day
at the same table, and was served
by the same waiter, an amiable, mid
dle-aged man who spoke a little of
what he proudly imagined was Ger
man. For four or five days he served
me caviare twice daily without COM
ment and then one day came in for
dinner, ordered the dish as usual,
and ran into an obstacle.
excuse me-" he said. "Caviare
is an extra in this hotel. You must
order it a la carte. Large portion,
twelve dollars. Small portion, eight
dollars. Which would you like?"
II wouldn't like either" l ex-
planned patiently. 81 am paying a
lump sum per day, and 1t includes
caviare twice day with my meals.
Don't you remember? You have
served me yourself, day after day.
Every day. Twice day."
My words had no effect. Twelve
dollars for large portion" he repeat
ed hopefully. Slight dollars for
small"

His face lighted up. "Ah, ah, all"
he breathed. "In Dapyetgrad, yes.
Caviare free, with meals, yes. Here,
no. Large. portion, twelve doll"
SAIL right, all right" I said. "No
caviare. Bring me some soup"
At my next meal again sat at the
same table, was served by the same
man. I gave him my order: Bring
me some caviare first" He brought
it, sweetly and without word. And
all meals thereafter. Puzzled, told
the story to Russian friend, who
gave me the key to the mystery.
Don't you seer said my friend,
"That one meal, there didn't happen
to be any caviare in the house. And
he didn't want to confess this to you,
a foreigner"

Well to Buy Early

Just as a reminder, we will say to
our readers this fall to buy their boars
early, as great many breeders have
been making barrows out of their
bears and will not have as many to
sell the coming fall. We know one
breeder in southern Iowa who has
made barrows out of all the bears he
raised this year. and others that have
retained only i've and ten. The cat
tie breeders have in many instances
made steers out Of their bulls. and
there will not be as many to sell this
fall. If you are going to be on the
market for boar or bull, you had
better buy early, as the crop is going
to be shorter than usual.-W allace's

Ways Of Making
Fence Posts Last
Coal Tar Creosote One of
Best Preservatives
Available.
BY PROF. q. II. CURSE. Department Of
Forestry, State College OF Agriculture.

Most common timbers rot in con-
tact with the soil and yet these woods
have many uses on the farm ifathey
are given a preservative treatment
against decay.
Preservative treatments are urged
only for those species which decay
quickly, such as red oak and hard
maple. With others. the value OF
treatment is questionable.
Coal-tar creosote is the most sat
isfactory preservatiye from every
standpoint. This material, although
lnfiammable and poisonous to fungi
which causes decay, can be handled
without danger.
To merely paint fence post with
the preservative, he says. win prove
Of almost no value. The preserve
tive must be forced into the wood.
The fence post should first be cut
and framed to the final dimensions
before it is treated, and all bark re-
moved. Moisture should be got rid
Of by thorough air-seasoning. Either
round or split posts may be used.
The posts are then immersed for
from FIVE to eight hours in hot creo-
sote, at a temperature ranging from
200 to 220 degrees Fahrenheit. A
10O-gallon Oil drum makes satisfac-
tory tank. When the heat is shut off
the posts are kept in the cooling
creosote for six to twelve hours. A
single post will absorb about one
third gallon of creosote, worth about
10 to IL cents. ~

Arrange for Bee Supply

There may be enough wild bees in
the neighborhood to look after the ap-
pie blossoms, though this cannot al
ways be depended upon.
The safest policy is for the orchard
ist to keep q few hives or If his acre
age is large enough arrange for some
one to set up an apiary in or near the
orchard. This is being attempted in a
systematic way by agents Of beekeep-
ers, as they find it good policy to CO.
operate with fruit growers. The Shen-
andoah valley is said to produce more
apples than any other equal area,
three hundred million barrels being
shipped in single season from one
center.

Seek Wheat Resistant
to Yellow Mosaic Evil

Kansas farmers have another wheat
disease to fight.
United States Department of Agri-
culture crop disease specialists this
year discovered yellow mosaic, mys-
terious new disease which completely
destroys the wheat 1t attacks, near
Salina, Kan, where a 40-acre field was
a total loss. A small amount OF the
disease was found also near Chapman
and near Manhattan, Kan. These are
the only places where the disease was
found this year.
The department will begin expert
ments at once to find wheats resistant
to this mosaic, as this. has been the
best method Of combating the green
mosaic Of wheat occurring east Of the
Mississippi river. The wheat special
lists cannot tell, as vet, where the dis
ease came from, how it spreads, nor
how rapidly 1t may increase.

Shark Got Half "catch"

AS far as the records go, Ernest
Pilman Of Nantucket is the only man
on the island who caught half a
bluefish. Already having caught five.
Pilman felt mighty tug on his line
and was positive he had hooked a
big fellow. When he pulled it up on
the shore he found he had hooked
the front half of bluefish. A shark
mad apparently made grab for the
bluetish after it took the hook and
had bitten it off amidships as clean
as though cut with knife. u

Have, Seen Value
of Grazing Crops
Livestock Men Fully Awake
to Possibilities.

BY L. I. CASE. Animal Husbandman. North
Carolina state College.--WNU Service.
Growers of live stock have found
by two years of experience that 1t
pays to have some annual grazing
crops to supplement the permanent
pasture II the stock Is to be kept In
the best Of condition.
These supplementary grazing crops
are emergency or insurance crops for
the live stock man. The drought OF
1880, the winter-killing Of carpet
grass that following winter. the
March freeze Of 1892. and the ex-
tended drought this summer has DEM
onstrated the full value Of such tenn
porary grazing crops. Some Of the
crops which might be used to advan-
tage are soybeans. sudan grass,
Cherokee clover or lespedeza. Good
farmers have found that a definite
area In these crops each year is nee
essary. If not 1eeded for grazing they
may be harve .ted in the usual way
for seed or hay.
The experiment station at state
college uses soybeans and sudan
grass for grazing sheep. Twelve
ewes and their lambs are carried on
four acres from May Is to November
Is and they make better gains than
do others carried on permanent pas
ture and treated for stomach worms
every two weeks. w. w. Jarvis uses
temporary grazing crops for his herd
Of beef cattle and turns them on the
crops when the pasture gets short.

Fighting Orchard Pest

One Of the hardest destructive or
chard insects to fight is the cherry
case bearer, which spends almost it's
whole life cycle inside Of protective
case. The state agricultural workers
in Door county orchards have found
that the summer spray measures
against this insect do not furnish much
protection.
The best method to combat the case
bearer, they point out, is to use DOR
mant spring sprays Of Oil material.
The announcement states that the DOR
mant spray used consisted of "a gall
Ions Of water. one pound Of an emul-
sifier, and six gallons Of parafin oil.-

Rape for Hogs

Rape is one Of the best pasture
crops for hogs. 1t does better in
cool weather. and may be seeded
early in the spring. To secure the
greatest returns per acre, the crop
should not be pastured too closely.
1t is preferable to have two or three
separate lots and alternate the graz
ing, though this is not necessary for
good results.
Five to seven pounds Of seed per
acre Is the usual rate, Of seeding.
Drill or broadcast the seed on plowed
ground which has been well worked
down. Rape also may be sown in the
corn at the last cultivation.-Michi-
gan Farmer.

Decline in Sheep

A decline of more than 100000
pounds in Nevada's wool production In
comparison with the yield Of last year
is estimated for the 1882 crop by the
United States bureau Of agricultural
economics. This years crop. 1t states,
will total around 6,7O5.0OO pounds.
Last year the wool crop for Nevada
was s,720,OO0 pounds and in 1880 it
was 7,944,000 pounds. The lamb crop
in Nevada Is figured at 100000. which
is slightly more than half the crop
of 1881.

Agricultural Hints

Farm wastes total about 260,000,000
tons annually.
4 There are 313 good days in every
year to lime the soil. The other 81
are Sundays.
The wheat crop of central Europe
is expected to be 100000 bushels
less than last year.
Wisconsin cattle feeders are feed
ing 20 per cent fewer beef cattle now
than a year ago, according to esti-
mates Of state crop and live stock re-
porters.
Garden plots that are to be planted
with Towering bulbs should be spaded
and worked thoroughly now so as to
kill weeds and get the ground in shape
to hold moisture next year.
Among the advantages Of live stock
on farms is to provide a use for
legumes and other feed crops needed
in weed control and soil improve
ment. Live stock also enables use to
be made Of roughages which are a
by-product Of grain growing, and Of
low-grade grains.
