| DR. CALDWELL’S j
THREE RULES j
Dr. Caldwell watched the results of
constipation for 47 years, and believed
that no matter how careful people are
of their health, diet and exercise, con
atipation will occur from time to time.
Of next importance, then, is how to tr°at
it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always
was in favor of petting as close to nature
as possible, hence his remedy for consti
pation is a mild vegetable compound. It
can not harm the most delicate system
and is not habit forming.
The Doctor never did approve of dras
tic physics and purges. He did not believe
they were good for human beings to put
into their system. Use Syrup Pepsin for
yourself and members of the family in
constipation, biliousness, sour an 1 crampy
stomach, bad breath, no appetite, head
aches, and to break up fevers and colds.
Get a bottle today, at any drugstore and
observe those three rules of health: Keep
the head cool, the feet warm, the bowels
open. For a free trial bottle, just write

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS
GETTING LINED UP
There i3 no better time to plsn
your poultry activities for the com
ing year than now. Start the year
right, keep going in the right man
ner, and finish up in the right way,
if you want maximum success from
your poultry. Don't overlook the
scientific side of the business. You
must have a knowledge of the
scientific principles related to the
many problems of feeding, breed
ing tnd management, and mos. im
portant of sfi, apply them. Here
are four guide posts to successful
poultry farming. With the proper
management in each of these de
partments, you can put your busi
ness on a bette r paying basis.
Whatever type of poultry house you
may have, be sure there is suf
ficient room for every bird in your
flock. Crowding your hens in an
undersized house will materially re
tard egg production. An ideal poul
try house is one that meets the fol
lowing specifications. It must be
dry, airy, bright, convenient, sim
ple. durable, and must permit
plenty of sunlight and be free from
all drafts. Health is the most desir
able characteristic of £n” flock. The
health of your birds depends upon
nutrition or proper feeding. Far
maximum health, and thus for con
sistently high production, the ration
must contain all the essentials for
the complete development of every
function and process of the bird—
proteins, fats, minerals and water.
On this problem of renewing your
flock rests your success or failure
with poultry. It is most complex
but, on the other hand it is the
pouitryman’s opportunitv to make
more money from his flock. Exer
cise judgment and care in picking
your breeders—use purebred,
healthy stock, birds that are fully
developed end have made a good
record as egg producers. Make sure
the breeders have the character
istics that you want to see in the
chicks. Finally, use eggs that are
perfect and uniform as to size,
shape and color, witii good, firm,
smooth shells. A hen must lay close
to six dozen eggs before she pay3
for her feed. The hen that is c:li
able of exceeding this mark is the
kind that pays. Any hen that fails
short of the six dozen mark should
be disposed of and the sooner the
better. Culling is an all year around
job—not just one grand cleanun
Eliminate the weaklings, low egg
producers. e:rly molt era. md use
your eockrels to best advantage.
Sell the culled birds if they are
healthy and are in fair or good
flesh 3y so dome, they are at once
turned into money. The wise poul
try raiser dees not expect a high
egg yield without Turn shlng his
flock with egg producing material.
A balanced ution and water alone
are not enough. You must also sim
ply the shell building material
needed to complete the e :?s manu
factured by the hens fro. i the in
gredients contained in the balanced
ration.
FEEDING DAIRY COWS
It takes time to devel p a farm
lor the production of large quanti
ties of good roughage- Furthermore,
the best plans occasionaly go wrong
and leave us with emergency crops.
Ths immediate problem with a
great many dairymen is that of
making good rations from the feeds
available. Some farmers have tim
othy hay, or red top, or stover and
prairie hay, or soy bean hay, or oats
and peas, or millet. Most farmers
have silage, some do not. How can
these feeds best be converted to
maintenance and milk production?
Before we begin making rations for
cows let us be reminded (1) that it
does not pay to feed even good ra
tions to scrub cows; (2) that It does
not pay to underfeed good cows; (3)
that It does not pay to feed rations
that are not well balanced; <4> that
nutrients are supplied more cheaply
in good roughage than in concen
trates; and (5) that the cow's di
gestive organs are well adapted to
converting the nutrients of rough
age into maintenance and milk. On
this basis cows should be fed all
the roughage they will clean up. It
goes without saying they will eat
more of good quality roughage than
of poor quality roughare. In pro
ducing roughage for cows every ef
fort should be made to get such
quality as will persuade cows to
eat large quantities If one has in
ferior quality roughage every effort
should be made to make it more
palatable. Coarse roughage may be
cut or ground to reduce waste and
increase the quantity cow-s will eat.
Feeding molasses may be added to
make roughage more palatable. Va
riety may be offered to increase the
oonsump ion of rc-ughagj. Some
times it is good economy to sell a
part of the roughage on? has ar.d
buy roughage better suited to the
needs of a good ration. The kind
and quality of roughage available
governs the protein consent of the
grain mixture to be fed. and to
some extent the rate of feeding
gra'n- If the roughage is relatively
low in protein the grain mixture
will have to be relatively high; if
the rcuahage is of poar Quality the
rate of feeding gra'n will have to b?
greater than with good roughage
Let us first make grain mixture;
for farmers who have silage and
any one er more of the following
feeds: Timothy, sudan grass, mil
let, corn fodder, shredded corn
stever, cr who have these feeds
without silage. Suitable mixtures
for these roughages will need to
contain from 13 to 20 oer cent, of
digestible protein in crdri” to prop
erly balance the ration. Such a mix
ture can b? made of 200 lbs. each of
ground corn, b-cur.d oats, wheat
van, linseed! meal, and cotton.-cad
;ne.ol. Barley, grain sorghum, or
hominy feed could b? substituted
for the corn. Five hundred pounds
of a 32 par cent protein mixed feed
could be substituted for the 400
'bs. of linseed and cottonseed mauls
The digestible preiein content of
the mixture is about 19 per cent.
For farmers who have corn silage,

of the 100 lbs. of linseed mer1 one
could substitute 150 lbs. of a "1 o?r
r°nt nrotein mixed feed, or 12 > lbs

KEEP BIGGEST OF HREEO
One factor often overlooked in
the dairy game is the sue of tire
animals. Not long nee I visited two
farms, both stocked with Hoisteir.s
1 says a leading dairy specialist. In
one herd, averaging about 6,00*1
pounds of milk a year, the cow3
were small ar.d the heifers unS£T
slaed. The other herd averaged
about 10,000 pounds and the cow;
appeared to be about 230 pounds i
heavier.
Size not only harks back to an
cestry, but also to the feed ar.d care
of the young stock. In adddicn tc
other feed, growing calves need
plenty of good legume hay, which is
always high in mineral control
Even with legume hay (and espe
cially so when it is not at hand),
minera’s may be needed in the diet
Lime and phosphorus are both
necessary in the development of
the framework of the young stock.
If these minerals have not been
phded to the grain ration, a satis
factory mineral mixture can be
made by combining equal parts of
steamed bone meal, ground lime
stone and salt. Place this before
the young stock so that they will
have access to it at nil times and
can eat what they want. A big cow
takes up but one" stanchion in the
r'able. She will eat somewhat more
feed, but she also delivers more
milk Into the pail. Well-grown
heifers ar.d co-vs find a more ready
sale when the buyer step; into the
barn than do those which have Zien
stunted and are, as a result, under
sized. It costs more to grow a
goed animal than it docs to grow
one poorly, but in the leng run the
big. well grown heifer pays better,
at th.e pail, on the market, or f mol
ly at the shambles.

CARE OF STRAW BERRIES
Coed strains cf strawberries prove
very orclific, and aimer; invariably
.sod the ground too thicklv. To
guard against this, I clip seme of
the runners (which establish the
new plans.) end dig cut planes for
setting other beds, says an expert
berry grower. I know it looks hard
to poll up or cut cut the nice plants,
but it Is the only thing to dc. where
they are getting too thick. It is not
only a matter of fewer berries, but
the quality will cko be much low
er where the o'ants are crowded and
the ground codded closely. Mulch
ing the stravb cries is very import
ant in err climate. It prev s se*

GOOD CORN‘SUBSTITUTE
_ Since soybeans can be prod -ced cn
the majority of Cornbelt farms for
considerable less than the usual
cost of an equal weight of tankaga,
they should be more generally used
with corn and legume pasture for
fattening hogs.

In our neighborhood. I give California
Fig Syrup full credit for her wonder
ful condition. It Is a great thing for
children."
Children like the rich, fruity taste
of California Fig Syrup, and you can
give It to them as often as they need
It, because It is purely vegetable. For
over 50 years leading physicians have
recommended It, und Its overwhelming
sales record of over four million bot
tles a year shows It gives satisfaction.
Nothing compares with It is a gentle
hut certain laxative, and It goes fur
ther than this. It regulates the storn
ach and bowels and gives tone and
strength to these organs so they con
tlnue to act normally, of their own
accord.
There are many Imitations of Cull
fornla Fig Syrup, so look for the name
“California” on the carton to be sure
you get the genuine.

OAYS one of America’s leading physicians:
^ “Two tablespoonfuls of Karo in a glass
of milk not only improves the taste of the

This doctor’s advice is valuable—for he

“Serve plenty of Karo to the kiddies—
especially underweight children, in milk, on
cereals, on sliced bread. Watch their weight
increase!’’
All children like the delicious flavor of
Karo—it appeals to their “sweet tooth.’’
And—do you know why Karo is so splen
