There are many women who find their
household duties almost unbearable ow
ing to some weakness or derangement.
The trouble may be slight, yet cause
Buch annoying symptoms as dragging
pains, weakness and a run-down feeling.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com

conditions. It has in many cases relieved
those svmptoms by removing the cause
of them. Mrs. Hall’s experience is but
one of many.

after careful preparation succeeded in
giving to the world a remedy which
lias been used by women with the best
results for half a century. Dr. Pierce’s

JAIL FOR OWNERS
OF SCRUB SIRES
By M. Gian Kirkpatrick.
“The organized farmers of Ontario
have asked for legislation against the
use of grade bulls* for public service,
which is absolutely wliat every state
ought to have.” The foregoing state
ment appeared in the Farm Journal
last winter, in an article presenting
both sides of the question regarding
laws against the use of any but pure
bred bulls.
It is-gratifying to know, after ham
mering on this question so persist
ently, that one state, al a meeting of
its last legislature, passed just such
a law as we advocated, prohibiting
the use of scrub or grade sires for
public service. West Virginia passed
a law last spring, which makes it un
lawful for any person in West Vir
ginia to keep for public service for
pay, any stallion, bull, boar or ram
W'hich is not a purebred, and which is
nbt properly registered. The penalty
is a fine or jail sentence, or both.
The drive to improve the livestock
of West Virginia only began to make
real headway two or three years ago,
when one or two counties put on
campaigns to eliminate Scrub bulls.
This movement has spread, until now
there are a score of counties working
along this liqe. One county more
than a year ago was confident of go
ing over the top and grabbing the
banner offered by The Farm Journal
to the first county to get rid of all
scrub bulls, but the last six or eight
scrubs could not be moved. At pres
ent there are several counties that
have visions of cleaning out all the
scrubs before the year is over.
But the livestock men of the state
were not satisfied with the efforts of
these individual counties to have only
purebred bulls. They saw that the
state-wide effort should be to make
a clean sweep an'd build up the live
stock of all kinds, so the measure
that was put through the legislature
is much more sweeping than a pure
bred bull law would have been.
There are several provisions in the
West Virginia act which concern the
sale and transfer of animals within
the state, but the vital parts are as
follows:
“Provided, that it shall be unlawful on
and after January 1, 1922, for any. per
son to keep any breeding animal for
public service for pay which is not pure
bred and which has not been properly
registered in accordance with this act. ’
"Any person who shall fraudulently
represent any animal, horse, cattle,
sheep or swine to be purebred, or any
person who shall post or publish, or
cause to be posted or published any
false pedigree or certificate, or shall use
any stallion or other male breeding ani
mal for public service, exchange, or
transfer any such animal for service
within the state of West Virginia, rep
resenting such animal to be purebred
without first having such animal regist
ered, and obtaining the certificate of
commissioner of agriculture as herein
after provided or who shall violate any
of the provisions of this act, shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be
punished by a fine or not more than
|l00 or be imprisoned in the county iail
not exceeding 30 days, or by both fine
and imprisonment, and it is hereby
made the duty of the prosecuting at
torney of the county in which the vio
lation takes place to prosecute the ac
tion.”
The state of Oregon passed a law
last winter, which provides for regis
tration of all dairy bulls which are
offered for sale for breeding pur
poses,-and prohibits the sale of any
but purebred registered bulls for
breeding purposes. Under the pro
visions of this law, the dairy husband
ry department of the Oregon Agri
cultural college acts as registration
board. Any one in Oregon who wants
to sell a dairy bull for breeding pur
poses within’ the state must get a
license from the registration board.
A fee of $1 is charged for each bull
registered. The fine for violating the
law is not less than $50 nor more
than $100, or imprisonment for not
less than 30 days nor more than six
months.
In deciding whejther a bull is fit
for registration, even though a pure
bred, the registration board is em
powered to set a definite standard
of milk production to be required of
the dam of each bull enrolled. This
will weed out the scrub purebred,
whose only merit is a pedigree, and
which would tear down herds instead
of buildirig them up. The registra
tion board has power to lower the
standard, in case there is a scarcity
of good bulls, or Het aside the re
quirements of the law if good pure
breds should become too dear in price.
The law became effective last May.
What will these laws accomplish?
Will they be dead-letter laws, or
will they help the livestock indus
try?
That all depends on the men who
are entrusted with enforcing the laws,
and a great deal on public sentiment.
Some people are opposed to such laws,
just as a few owners of scrub stal
lions were opposed to the stallion reg
istration laws a few years ago. Says
H. G. Myers, one of Our Folks in
Missouri:
“Your article in the February Farm
Journal, ‘Shall We Outlaw the
Scrub Bull?' is something that needs
thinking about from two sides. The
breeders of registered stock are the
ones who are trying to get such a
law in existence, so that they can
sell their stock for any price they .
ask. They have sold to mostly all
that have more money than brains or
money to throw away, so they want
a law to force others to buy their
high priced stock. Do you remember
how the doctors worked to get laws
so that nobody could doctor the sick
without a diploma? Now, they are
some of the best legalized robbers
there are, if I am not mistaken; they
can charge what they want *o. WJjat
are poor people going t:. do when
their lives depend on medical treat
ment and they haven't the money?
That will be the same way with the
scrub bull, when they get that law
8ome must follow, and some com
mand, though all are made of clay.—

patched up. The prohibition law ought
to give us a lesson. If it were not
for that law, the farmers would have
a ready market for corn at $1 a
bushel.”
Ono of Our Folks in Ontaria, F. R.
Mallory, thinks education will solve
the problem. He says;
‘‘I do not think that the govern
ment can do very much. One thing
that it can do is to offer a bonus
for good bulls to be used by farmers
in a certain community. I was at
a railway station the other day when
a drover was shipping a bunen of
canners, and I saw one man come in
with a cow that I presume would
bring $25; that man has been on a
good farm all his life and his father
and" grandfather were there before
him. He turned th’.s cow into tee sta
tion yaref and he saw a little spotted
bull there an ! he took him home for
the next year. Ho never asked vho
the bull's mother or father was and
knew nothing about his family his
tory. I looked up the history of that
bull. I found that he was sired by
a EO per cent. Holstein bull, and the
dam was a mixture of a Jersey,
Shorthorn and Ayrshire. Two of that
man’s neighbors Intend to use that
bull, and that means that three herds 4
are’going to be affected by this poor
mongrel. That man has money, and
he could buy a $2,000 bull If he want
ed to. That is the kind of man that
we apparently can not reach. The
only way we can get rid of the scrub
bull Is by a policy of education.”
Plainly, education is necessary; and.
so is legislation We can not make
laws to forbid the use of scrub siren
in an owner’s herd, but we can and
should prohibit their use for pulill*
service. In Canada, legislation is be
ing used to Induce farmers to use bet
ter bulls. In Nova Scotia a scrub bull
act was passed in 1919, providing that
the owner of a scrub bull must not
permit such an animal to serve any
cow within certain limits except a
cow owned by himself, and he must
not permit the bull to wander from
a properly fenced enclosure unless
under the control of an attendant.
There are evidences that this has
accomplished much.
Mr. Wilson’s Human Side.
J. W. R. Smith, In Collier’s.
A great crowd was cheering Woodrow
Wilson as he left a theater. A little
girl, the child of one of the cast, wa.
trying to push her way toward the fo
jr.er president. Seeing her, he stoppv,.
hts party ar.d sent Mrs. Wilson to fetdh
her. And while the crowd watched, the
white haired man engaged the rosy
cheeked little girl in earnest conversa
tion, the gist of which. It turned out
afterward, was that Mr. Wilson asked
| her what her name was, where she went
, to school, and particularly how many
dolls she possessed. When Mr. Wilson
was automobillng the other day in Rock
creek, three'little boys In wading, Just
to be smart and. with no idea of being
accommodated, yelled out, recognizing
the car: "Hey, Woody! Take us home,
please!” To their uter amazement, the
big car came to a stop and they were
told to climb in. Hearing recently that
a soldier at the Walter Reed hospital,
wearing still the scars of French battle
fields, had said the one ambition of his
life was to see Wilson, Mr. Wilson sent
word that he would be glad to have
him come to his home.
A billion dollars a year, Sir Fred
derick B. Maurice points out, would
be released to pay debts and restore
industry in Europe if all the conti
nental powers disarmed. But the
powers, suspicious of one another,
will not disarm without a league to
enforce peace that would turn eco
nomic ostracism and armed forces,
if necessary, against any violator of
the peace. This country is not ready
to take the leadership in creating a
strong association of all nations,
hence matters drift and we will
probably in the end be forced to can
cel the $10,000,000,000 and more due
fiom Europe. The cancelled debts,
of cofirlle, will be added to taxes.
We have now 4.000 prohibition
enforcement agents, anti the presi
dent’s conference with the gover
nors brought out the fact that they
have been very, very lax in the per
formance of their duties. It is pro
posed, however, that their numbers
be -increased, the intention being,
perhaps, that there may be more
agents to ne more lax. Why wouldn’t
it be better to weed out the present
force, and see what 4,000 up-and
coming agents might accomplish
with actual aid from state govern
ments?

An 1,100 acre vineyard In Merced
county—Hid to be now the largest in
the country—has just been sold for
$1,100 an acre. This is possibly twice
as much as it would have brought in
the days before prohibition. The grape
growers, who were supposed to be
brought to beggary by the 18th amerid
isent are fattening on their punish
ment. The payment of $1,200,000 for a
single vineyard Is an example In fact.

Do You Feel Old and Stiff and Suffer Sharp, Rheu

ARE winter months your backache
months? Does every cold, chill or
attack of grip leave you lame, achy
and all worn out? Does your back throb
and ache until it seems you just can't keep
going another day?
Then look to your kidneys! Grip, colds
and chills throw a heavy strain on the
kidneys. They overload the blood with
Eoisons and impurities that the kidneys
ave to filter off. The kidneys weaken
under this rush of new work; become con
gested and inflamed.
It’s little wonder, then, that every cold
finds you suffering with torturing backache,
rheumatic pains, headaches, dizziness and
annoying bladder irregularities.
Don’t wait! Delay may lead to serious
or chronic kidney sickness. Realize that
your kidneys have weakened in fighting the
cold-created poisons and give them the
help they need. Begin using Doan’s Kid
