5218 Happy People
Give up Their Secret
TUST suppose you could get 5000 joy
J ously happy people together in one big
hall and could ask them what made them
all so full of pep. Suppose, strangely
enough, that all of them had discovered
the same way to be happy. You would
feel that here, if anywhere in the world,
was the secret of how to get joy out of life.
This is just what has happened i
during the last few weeks. Wo knew !
there were millions of people who
had found the secret of happiness in
the same way, and we asked them in
one or two small announcements in
the magazines and newspapers to
tell us their story. Letters came to us
from practically all over the globe.
' All of them said “The secret of
happiness is health.” •
How to get this health? The way
chat all of these people had dis
covered was not some magic medi
cine, not some powerful drug, not
some difficult course of training —
but only a simple, harmless, natural
method. It was to keep the body in
ternally clean, sweeping its natural
poisons away each day, regularly as
clock work—by the use of Nujol.
‘These people had made a great
discovery. They had found out that
Nujol contains no drugs; that it is as
tasteless and colorless as pure water;
pleasant to take and forms no habit;
that it cannot hurt you, no matter
how much you take; that it is non
fattening; not absorbed by the body;

Buoyant, Zestful Health, and
the Joy that goes with it
that it is only the internal lubrica

It sounds like a fairy tale, doesn’t
it, to be well and happy so easily?
Well, all you need to do to find out
if these people have made a real
discovery is to get a bottle of Nujol
today at any drug store and take it
for two weeks. It costs but a few
cents and it makes you feel like a

happiness is through health. •

IMMUNIZE AGAINST LOSSES
While the Immunization of hogs
against hog cholera h£s been an
established procedure for many
years, we still find a large percent
age of swine producers who still be
lieve that they can produce hogs
successfully without immunizing
them. The result Is that at infre
quent intervals these farmers who
do not Immunize their hogs exper
ience an outbreak of this disease
which often results in extremely
heavy losses. There has been a con
siderable amount of hog cholera this
past year in many communities
where I have been privileged to
travel, and it would seem that since
history repeats itself so often with
reference to this disease, that the
swine producer would no longer at
tempt to produce hogs without im
munizing them against this disease.
A few years ago we were of the
opinion that best results in immun
izing hogs would be secured if the
pigs were not immunized until
weaning age. Many veterinarians
preferred to immunize the pigs
shortly after they were weaned. Ex
perimental work lias demonstrated
that pigs can be immunized when
only a few days old with satisfactory
results.
I have frequently immunized pigs,
says a leading veterinary, as young
as one week with very satisfactory
results, in fact apparently as satis
factory as those pigs that were 8
or 10 weeks of age, but just this fall
[ immunized one fitter of pigs that
were only 72 hours old. The results
were uniformly successful and these
young pigs suffered no ill effects
from the Immunization. There is no
doubt in my mind but that a care
ful veterinarian can very successful
ly Immunize pigs under field condi
tions at 2 or 3 weeks of age without
experiencing any difficulty. Im
munizing pigs at such a young age
does not give them any setback, be
cause they are depending entirely
upon nursing the dam, and the ex
pense is considerably less that it
would be if the pigs are Immunized
after they have been weaned.

SOME SANITATION RULES
A recognized authority on poultry
raising 1ms laid down ten rules for
poultry sanitation, which, if fol
lowed, will help to keep flocks
healthy and free from disease. The
rules are as follows: (1.) All mature
birds should be oonfined to a limit
ed area by the double yarding sys
tem. and not allowed to range with
the young stock. (2.) Houses for
mature birds should be equipped
with concrete or board floors. (3.)
Houses for mature birds should be
equipped with dropping boards and
a one-inch wire mesh should be at
tached to the bottoms of the
perches. (4.) Houses for mature
birds should be cleaned regularly
and the dropping boards should be
cleaned twice a week. (5.) All ma
ture birds should have acoes3 to the
outside during the afternoons of fall
and winter—regardless of the
weather. (0.) All mature birds on
the farm should be tested for bacil
lary white diarrhea by the aggluti
nation test. Those which react
should be removed immediately
i and the poultry yards and houses
given a thorough cleaning. A new
ys.rd is preferable. (7.) Egg3 from
blood tested stock should not be
hatched In the same incubator with
eggs from untested stock. (8.) All
breeder houses should be thorough
ly cleaned before placing chicks in
them and should be cleaned once a
week thereafter. (9.) All chicks
should be grown on ground where
no chickens of any age were allowed
to run the previous year. A three
year rotation is preferable. (10.) The
droppings and litter removed from
all poultry houses should be placed
on ground that will never be used
for poultry.
THE HOG BUSINESS
Par 100 years hog production has
been an industry of considerable
promlnanoe. With the development
of the corn-growing section, the hog
became the most profitable animal
upon the average Combe It farm.
But still hog improvement has for
all this time been upon h/it-or-miss
basis. We know approximately the
type of finished hog the markets
want, and, within a wide range, we
can recognize profitable and unprof
itable feeding hogs. But hog produc
ers are not aware of the fact that
carcass values of hogs vary a great
deal. They do not know that some
times when two hogs of the same
weight are sold at the same price
there may be as much as $1.50 dif
ference in the value of the carcasses.
We have had no accurate standards,
as the Danes have had, to guide us
in breeding hogs. We have been se
lecting and breeding hogs on pedi
gree and external appearances No
one can determine the money value
of a hog carcass until it has been
cut up, and there is no argument
to oontradiot the statement that
the principal reason we raise hogs
Is because of the value of the meat
they produce. It is equally clear, aft
er a little thought, that we have
not been going about the improve
ment of hogs In this country with an
accurate measuring stick. We have
used superficial instead of funda
mental standards to guide us in hog
production. Denmark has demon
strated the great, value of accurate
guides in getting more profit from
hogs. Why not bake a few lessons
from them?
GROW BEST FEED CROPS.
It takes time to discover and weed
out inferior farm animals and it
takes time to tune up a farm for
the production of large yields per
acre of the best crops for feeding
live stock. If one has not already
made a beginning in this he will
continue to find his business on the
short end of his purse strings. In
each section of the country some
feed crops are better suited to soil
and climatic conditions than others.
It is good live stock farm manage
ment to find out which crops will
supply the most nutrients per acre
of desirable kind and set about pro
ducing them. In this connection it
EGG YIELDS AND PROFITS
There is perhaps no better single
indicator of probable profits from a
poultry flock than average yearly
egg production. Unless a favorable
egg yield is obtained the profits are
sure to be rather low. whether the
Hock in question is a small farm
flock or one of commercial size. As
an illustration of the close relation
ship between egg yield and profit,
the results obtained on 234 farm
flocks in Illinois may be mentioned.
The average number of hens per
ilock on these farms was 167. When
the records were sorted on the basis
of egg yield it was found that
i3 important to hear In mind that
legume hay is the most important
single feed crop for dairy farmers
to produce. Fortunately one or more
legumes will do well in almost ev
ery section where dairy cows ara
kept. To be successful in the pro
duction of feed crops and then pen
alize one’s success by feeding these
crops to scrub stock or in such a
manner as not to get the greatest
good from them is the mark of eco
nomic folly. Some dairy farmers
keep too many animals for the feed
producing capacity of their farms
Among the animals on these over
stocked farms are many of such
quality as to make profits impos
sible. In such cases the problem ol
intelligent adjustment is to reduce
the number of animals by weeding
out those that have inherited pooi
talent for converting feeds into
products in a profitable manner.

HEALTH FOODS.
The discoveries of dietitians in
recent years have meant much to
the people of this nation. They hava
pointed out that certain foods,
which may be termed “protective,
are essential in a well balanced diet
The physical condition of our
young men who were examined foi
army service revealed that whila
this nation had an adequate supplj
of food and people were eating lib
eral quantities, many diets were not
well balanced. The outcome was that
about 30 per cent of these young
men examined were found to ba
physically unfit. Diet, of course, wraa
not responsible for the entire num
ber, for inheritance and other fac
tors were responsible. However, tha
stubborn fact remains that if wa
take the protective foods, which ara
milk, fruit and vegetables, and usa
them in the diet in the propel
quantities, we have, so far as oui
knowledge goes at present, provided
a balanced ration for human be
ings. Leading medical authorities
advocate a quart of milk a day foi
growing children and a pint a daj
for adults They also recommend
eating some green vegetables and a i
salad twice a day. This done, anj |
person, unless he has seme physical
defect, may eat such things as will
satisfy his taste. The people on the
farm find meats, potatoes, and
bread staple foods and highly de
sirable. Certain food fod lists taboc
white flour. This is a mistake. There
is no real reason that this import
ant product should not be used in
bread making. It, of course, does not
contain all the elements necessarj
for a properly balanced diet but wfl
do not know of any food that does
except milk, and that is cnlv com
plete for the infant. Even for the
infant, orange or tomato juice is rec
ommended at a very early age. II
has been found that supplementing
white flour with powdered skimmiH
provides a food that is difficult to
excel. Sklmmilk contains a perfect
protein, rich in mineral substances;
and milk sugar, one of its constitu
ents, is a food par excellence. Bread
made with white flour and powdered
sklmmilk is one of our best food
products and there is little rhyme
or reason for discouraging people
from using wheat flour or a liberal
use of potatoes or meat. What wa
should emphasize in all our diets ii
the use of a proper quantity of milk j
vegetables and fruit If we will bui
supply the diet with a sufficient
quantity of these health foods, wa
need have little worry about the
other foods in the diet, providing, ol
course, they are nourishing and
palatable.
STOP SOFT SHELLED EGGS.
Thin and soft shelled eggs are a |
constant problem to poultrymen
particularly to those who ship td
market. Thin shelled eggs break in
transit and cause loss of profit and
goodwill. Eggs of this type are a
sure indication that an importanl ;
element is lacking in the diet. This !
element is calcium carbonate, thfl
mineral that makes eggshell. It ii
present, to a certain extent, in food
and water, but for maximum pro
duction of thick shelled eggs it
should always be available to youi
poultry as a separate element. Keep
a plentiful supply of crushed oyster
shell in the hopper. By doing so you
give your hens free access to cal
cium carbonate in its purest form. ?t
is not wasteful to do thi3, because
the hens will eat only as much aa
they actually need- Be sure to get
properly washed, dried and screened
oyster shell. It will be clean, pure
and economical. If it has been cor
rectly sterilized, it will be free from
rat-gathering odor. The daily use of
pure crushed oyster shell increases
egg production by 30 to 50 eggs per
hen in a year. Its important bear
ing on your profits emphasizes the
importance of getting the best. Soft
shelled eggs indicate a lack of egg
shell material in the diet. Keep pure
crushed oyster shell before youl
birds all the time and soft shelled
eggs will disappear. Egg production
also will increase.
FEEDS THAT POISON HOGS
There are two feeds that are very
fine for hogs when given In suitable
quantities, and yet which, if given
in excess, will, in many instances,
poison the animals. One of these,
salt, is a very essential element in
the upkeep of the herd, but it can
be overfed, especially when the hogs
fail to obtain an abundance of wa
ter. When salt poisoning occurs, the
hogs exhibit Intense thirst and rest
lessness, and become weak even to
the point or prostration. They should
immediately be given a strong
emetic and then a dose of castor
oil Cottonseed meal is highly nu
tritious, but ir hogs eat too much,
the system becomes poisoned and
they lose their appetites. They not
only are weakened, but suffer blind
ness and manifest several nervous
symptoms. In rare cases they over
come the trouble, but there is no
known cure. Hogs which have ac
cess to plenty of green feed and
wood ashes are rarely affected by
cottonseed meal. _____
top~one fifth of the flocks, with an
average yield per hen per year of
125 eggs or more, showed a profit
per hen of $1.66. The correspond
ing profit per hen in the low one
fifth, those flocks with an average
egg yield of 80 or less, was only 65
cents. These results, and similar
data from other groups of farms in
other sections of the country, seem
to justify the conclusion that the
flock owner who has mastered the
principles of feed-ng and breeding
for egg production so that he can
get a high egg yield from his flock
is reasonably certain to make a good
profit, _^.4
Japan Comes First in
Cru3ade Against Kiss
The antikissing crusade, which
started in Russia some time ago, ap
pears to be spreading. Kansas lias
now taken up the cudgels against the
kiss. “Don't kiss In crowded places or
in badly ventilated rooms,” is one of
the warnings that has been issued to
tiie citizens of this American state.
Another is: “Don’t kiss a person who
has a chill or is fevered.” But Japan
Is still the real paradise of those who
want to abolish kissing. The kiss is
In such disfavor there that it cannot
iven be shown on the cinema screen.
iSome day, perhaps, the anti-kiss cru
saders will publish statistics to show
that in Japan people are much health
ier than anywhere else In the world.
That would be a big point in their
favor—if the tigures could really be
interpreted in this way. But perhaps
they can’t; and, anyway, it isn’t likely
to make any difference.—Montreal

Girl at the Top
in Health Test
Millions of boys and
girls all over the
world, thousands of
them right here in
the West are being
restored to health
and strength by the
purely vegetable ton
ic and laxative known
us California Fig Syrup and endorsed
by physicians for over 50 years.
Children need no urging to take It.
They love its rich, fruity flavor.
Nothing can compete with it as a gen
tle, but certain laxative, and It goes
further than this. It gives tone and
strength to the stomach and bowels
bo these organs continue to act nor
mally, of their own accord. It stimu
lates the appetite, helps digestion.
A Kansas inotlier, Mrs. Dana All
gire, CIO Monroe St., Topeka, says:
“Bonnie B. is absolutely the picture
of health, now, with her ruddy cheeks,
bright eyes and plump but graceful
little body and she stands at the top
!n every health test.
Much of the credit for her perfect
condition is due to California Fig
Syrup. We have used it since baby
hood to keep her bowels active dur
ing colds or any children’s ailments
and she has always had an easy time
with them. She always responds to
Its gentle urging and is quickly back
to normal.”
Ask your druggist for California
Fig Syrup and look for the word
“California” on the carton so you’ll
always get the genuine.
Alaskan Bears’ Winter
Quarters Steam Heated
Lured into the valley of many
smokes by volcanic warmth, some of
Alaska’s big brown bears delayed go
ing into hibernation over two months,
reports a hunting party returned from
the Alaska peninsula.
Just as dogs pick for their hods the
hottest place behind the coal range,
tracks and signs showed plainly that
bears likewise selected warmed rocks
in the steamed area for lounging quar
ters.
Ground around the moist fumaroles
held the claw marks of the big bruins
when the hunters passed them. It was
not unusual to find bear tracks lead
ing straight up to one of the large
open vents. In one place the hot
ground apparently excited a bear’s cu
riosity, for he had clawed away the
cast-off minerals about the hole, leav
ing deep claw marks.
It is believed many hears have tak

heated region.
