Arc ifou When your Children Cty for It Baby has little upsets at times. A1 jrour care cannot prevent them. But you oon be prepared. Then you can do what ■any experienced nurse w ould do—what most physicians would tell you to do— five a few drops of plain Castoria. Nc •sooner done than Baby is soothed; re lief Is just a matter of moments. Yet you hnve eased your child without use of a single doubtful drug; Castoria Is vegetable. So it's safe to use as often as an infant has any little pain you cannot pat away. And it's always ready for the crueler pangs of colic, or constipation or diarrhea; effective, too, •for older children. Twenty-five million bottles were bought last year. * y *.. 11 _ Powerful Water Jet The fastest man has ever traveled on land, somewhat better than 200 miles nn hour, is exceeded by the speed of the water jet that drives the wheels in the new Big Creek plant of the Southern California Edison com pany, says Popular Mechanics Maga zine.

All like pretty clothes, atten tion and good times; but under neath these universal likenesses, the country girl of today who is a lead er in 4-H work, stands out as in dividual and Incomparable. Club work has given her a wonderful op portunity, and she has made the most of It. The result is that the girls who are 4-H cIud leaders are clear thinking, wide awake individ uals, who not only do good work themselves, but have the patience, zeal and tact to teach others as well. As we read the splendid rec ords of leadership—and every one submitted was fine—we would in deed be pessimists not to be con vinced that rural home and com munity life was becoming broader and more worth while because the army of 4-H girls, whom these lead ers represent, is working steadily toward those ends. Last year, near ly 400,000 farm girls engaged In club work. A few did not complete the projects, but thousands of you found the deep satisfaction that comes through doing good work, and some of you were such out standing successes that in the fu ture you will be club leaders. Think what it means! Four hundred thous and girls learning to be better home maker and better citizens, having an opportunity to earn money of your own, and coveted honors, and all of you enjoying group work and fun, while carrying on. With work to bring out your creative talent and your constructive thought, with the chance to develop initiative and leadership, and with training un der specialists, you should make bet ter wives and mothers than those In the past generations who had hot the opportunities that you have. No wonder that we who are on the side lines watching feel that be cause of you, the American farm home of the future is going to be a home in which will dwell healthy, happy, contented people who will take an intelligent part in the af fairs of the community, country, state and nation, who will live 'a larger social and neighborly life and who will take great pride in their calling. HANDLING CLUMSY SOWS Nothing is more exasperating to the pig breeder than to be the own er of a clumsy sow, which having produced a fine and large litter of pigs proceeds forthwith to murder them by lying on them or tramp ling them underfoot. It is the more exasperating when the sow in ques tion happens to be an otherwise good one, for in such a case one hesitates to treat her as one would i another which has less merit. A i valuable pedigree animal, for ex- i Simple, is too good to sell in the open market, for one could hardly recommend her for breeding, and so perhaps make a better price of her privately, and it seems rather a crime to fatten her for the butcher without giving her every chance to amend her ways. At the same time, when one has a sow who is persistently clumsy, it is waste of time and money to bear with her iadefinitely. It is not fair to condemn her for her first mis demeanor, but if she does it again on being given a second chance there is really nothing to be done but get rid of her, provided one is quite sure that her clumsiness was due to nothing but her own stupidity. For it is always possible that it may be the fault of some one else. One has known sows who are very much upset at the presence of a stranger at the time of far rowing or just afterwards, and it is always unwise to let anyone ex cept the usual attendant come near at such a time. Some sows also may be made restless by the pres ence of another pig—a boar es pecially—in the adjoining sty. It is always best therefore, particularly In the case of a gilt having her first litter, to make sure that her family affairs are conducted with that privacy which on such occa sions she deserves to enjoy. She tnust not be blamed if she makes a ! mess of things when she is con stantly being disturbed or visited by someone who is curious to know how things are going. Even h«r owner or the man who looks after her should be careful not to do too much prying in the case of a sensi tive animal. A certain amount of supervision may be necessary when sows are farrowing; in some cases it is es sential that somebody should be near. But this supervision should be carried out as quietly as possible so that the sow shall not get the Impression that she is being in terferred with. One of the foolish Ideas that have been put forward before now to prevent a sow from | injuring her offspring is to pro- I vide a lamp at night, so that she may see what she is doing. This is quite unnecessary, and may easily i do harm instead of good. A sow does not need to see her pigs—she : uses her nose more than her eyes , to discover their whereabouts, r.nd j If she is disposed to lie on them or walk on them a 1.000-candle-power electric lamp will not stop her. Then, again, it has often been suggested that it is safer to let a sow farrow on bare boards than give her litter among which her , pigs may get hidden, so that she does not know where they are. For the reason already given tiiere is nothing in this either, though it may be unwise to provide litter in great quantity. There is not much fear of the little pigs getting buried in a moderate amount of straw. but ! if one has any qualms in that di rection the best thing to do is to provide a decent bed in the form of long chaff, which in any clr- ! cumstances will be quite snfp. Farrowing rails are. of course. al> ! ways a useful precaution, but are no good unless properly fixed. They should be at least 9 i ichrs from the walks of the sty. but not mom than 6 or 7 lnche; from the i ground. If they are higher the GRAFTING WAX FORMU LA Rosin, 5 pounds; beeswax, l pound; finely pulverized charcoal. 3 pounds; ra w linseed-oil. 1 gill Melt beeswax over a slow fire, add charcoal, stirring, then the oil.

Apply warm, but not hot _ _ Don’t be fooled by poor seed corn. r*at it I sow may be able to get enough of her body under them to crush little pigs behind them if she happens to lie down close to the wall. 1c Is not a bad plan to put an additional rail across the corners of the pen, for little pigs are fend of getting lnio corners, and the whole litter may lie quite secmely behind one of these corner rails without any fear of being crushed or trampled on. The time of greatest danger to little pigs is during the first two, or even three, days after birth. After that they are usually sharp enough to get out of the way of the clumsiest of mothers. It is wonderful how much they can stand even at this early age. A heavy sow may sometimes plump herself down on top of one of her pigs, crushing it with the whole of her weight; yet if anyone be handy and can get her away quick ly the little pig. though it appears to be hopelessly bruised ana life less, will very likely be none the worse for its experience, and frisk ing about as happily as ever half an hour later. But any small pig that is thus crushed between the sow and a plain board floor has but little chance. That is one argu ment at least in favor of using enough litter to counteract the un yielding hardness of floor. Her feeding and her general health are, of course, matters to be closely studied in the case of every breeding sow, and neglect of these Important points may easily cause her to make a mess of her affairs. Peed her well, but do not let her get overfat. Above all take care that she does not suffer from con stipation. If she be restless or un comfortable from any cause she is far more likely to make mistakes. SOY BEANS PROFITABLE Soy beans are coming more and more Into the general scheme of things on corn farms, especially In localities where considerable live stock is kept. Per one thing, the crop works in well with the regular corn belt rotation, and has a con siderable value as a cash crop. Another feature that appeals to the livestock man is the dependa bility and value of soy beans as a source of protein. Introd>ed chief ly as a protein supplement .or hogs and a catch crop when clover failed, soys are becoming a well liked and reliable source of protein roughage for dairy cows, which, by the way, are rapidly becoming numerous throughout the corn producing sec tions. Several features recommend soys. Their first general use through this section, says a soy bean and silo fan , was as a supplement with corn. Beans were planted by an at tachment on the corn planter, then both crops were hogged off—a prac tice which is still gaining friends. It was found that hogging off corn and soys improved the soil and made possible two years of com on the same land with no noticeable depreciation in yield. The practice of filling the silo with corn in which soys had been planted also has gained headv#y. One farmer I know filled his Srlo with beans alone last year. While this man is not a large operator, he is one of the most efficient pro ducers of livestock in the country, and an excellent farmer. His soy bean silage is giving fine satisfac tion and was produced on a com paratively small tract of ground. The labor cost was not excessive, which is an important considera tion in silo filling. As a hay crop, soys had a rather tough row. They are more difficult to cure out than other legume hays, and a good many farmers held to the idea that a wetting or two would make the hay unfit for use. Now they are changing their minds, as they discover soy bean hay will stand as much grief as any other legume crop—more, probably, than some—and still be good feed. On one farm, more than 30 loads of good hay were cut from about 12 acres of land, and owing to lack of mow room in the barns it was nec essary to stack a considerable por tion of the soys. They stand the racket very well. It Ls a peculiar fact that the fol iage may bleach under weather con ditions after it is cut in the field It may turn so brown that it ap pears to have little feeding value —even much of the foliage may be knocked off in the process of turn ing and cocking, but stock still rel ish the hay and produce well when it makes up a considerable propor tion of the ration. Probab!; the mower and the side delivery rake are most efficient for making soy bean hay. However, the soys can be cut and raked with the old fashioned dump rake without excessive labor or overhead, or much loss of hay. A few men in this locality are using, with good results, the attachments used for windrowing clover cut for seed. The main thing in cutting for hay seems to be to get the crop down before the beans are overripe and to avoid handling as much as possible. Most men cut the soys just as the beans be^ln to form in the peds. P.aking and turning are dene as much as possible when there is a slight dew. so th ? leaves will not be shattered from tho stems. Whatever method is used, or whatever the purpose 30>s ar& grown for, they are undoubtedly one of the best crops grown to put soil in condition for the sucr**>’ding crop A single disking of sov stub ble will often put the ground in ex cellent condition for wheat sow ing, and on farms where wheat figures prominently in th** n ro tation, this practice Is followed considerably, Soys, wheat, clover, corn, then back to soys, is not ,i bad farm practice—for the land’s .sake, at least.
