How to train BABY’S
BOWELS
Babies, bottle-fed or breast-fed,
with any tendency to be constipated,
would thrive if they received daily
half a teaspoonful of this old family
doctor’s prescription for the bowels.
That is one sure way to train tiny
bowels to healthy regularity. To
avoid the fretfulness, vomiting,
crying, failure to gain, and other ills
of constipated babies.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is
good for any baby. For this, you have
the word of a famous doctor. Forty
seven years of practice taught him
just what babies need to keep their
little bowels active, regular; keep
little bodies plump and healthy. For
Dr. Caldwell specialized in the treat
ment of women and little ones. He
attended over 3500 births without
loss of one mother or baby.

TALES OF REAL DOGS _ By Albert P. Terhune
Unalaska was a big husky, power
ful, wise, fearless; an ideal sled dog.
That was why Admiral Byrd chose
him as “lead-dog” fot the strongest
of his sled-teams in his Antartic
expedition.
The great dog met with a strange
fate—at least it was strange for a
canine hero which had survived
such life-and-death perils as the
i Antartic trip involved, though it is
a fate all-too-common for stay-at
home dogs.
Unalaska was bom In Lapland.
He was half-dog and half-wolf.
From puppvhood he was trained to
sled work, because of his unusual
size and strength and wisdom. The
same qualities made him a lead
dog or “top dog” at an age when
most sled huskies are just beginning
to learn then trade.
When Admiral Byrd went North
to choose his sled dogs for the Aut
artic, ho had the pick of the whole
region to select from. He needed
the very best dogs procurable for
the historic task ahead of him. And
Unalaska was the first and foremost
of the huskies he picked out.
Those of you who have read the
story of Byrd's expedition will re
member the mighty part played in
It by the sled dogs; especially by
Unalaska.
Over miles of trackless and
treacherous ice these huskies
dragged the sleds. They fought
their way through blizzards; they
surmounted seemingly impassable
obstacles. When their day’s work
was done a handful of frozen fish
was their reward for risk of life
and overstrained muscles.
Their bed was the nearest snow
drift into which they could burrow
deep enough to escape from the
killingly bitter cold of the outer air.
For that is the way northern sled
dogs sleep. While their owners
huddle around fires in their igloos
or huts, the huskies are left outside
to shift for themselves as best they
can. By instinct they know they
can be warmer—or less cruelly cold
—if they snuggle far below the sur
face of the snow. So they burrow.
When the going was hard or
fatigue so intense as to tax the
prowess and courage of the rest
of his team, it was Unalaska that
put new heart into his mates and
forced them to keep on.
The tale of that South Pole ad
venture has been told too often
and too well, to need repetition
here. It is enough to say that Un
alaska continued from first to last
to do his splendid duty and that
he proved himself a hero again
and again.
Then came the return to civil
ization. The country did honor to
Byrd's daring achievement. In one
interview after another Byrd did
honor to the part in his success
which was due to Unalaska and
the lesser sled dogs.
Back to the United States came
the expedition; the dogs with it.
Their tremendous task was achieved.
The huskies received their share of
praise and attention. Unalaska was
hailed as a hero.
In order to show the stay-at
homes what kind of a life had been
led by the party, in the Antartic,
a “Byrd South Polar Exhibit’’ was
instituted, an exhibit portraying
the camp of the explorer and its
members’ daily routine.
The exhibit traveled here and
there, drawing throngs of inter
ested spectators. Unalaska got his
full share of their admiration as
he and his fellow-huskies were put
through their paces. C. B. Poster,
who was in charge of the show, made
a special pet of Unalaska, and gave
him his daily exercise.
Presently the exhibit moved to
Monroe, Alabama, where it at
tracted its usual crowds. But the
Louisana weather was hot and
breathless compared to the icy
blast of the polar regions. The
sled dogs in their heavy coats suf
fered from the heat. They were
geared to the snowlancls, not to
the far South.
(In a lesser way it is the same
with all long-coated dogs, in sum
mer. My own Sunny bank collies
get their hot-weather gallops be
fore sunrise and after sunset, in
the torrid months and arc allowed
to lie idle in the shade during the
heat of the day.)
Unalaska and hLs dainty little
mate, Lady, were kept as cool as
possible and had their daily walks
before the sun was strong enough
to annoy them. Mr. Foster used to
take these two huskies out to a
park in Monroe for a run and a
romp early in the morning.
Early as was the hoar, there
always were plenty of townspeople
to stare admiringly at the gallant

dogs. Also, It was impossible to take
them out early enough to be ahead
of the morning traffic In the near
by streets.
One morning Foster drove in his
car to the park, carrying Unalaska
and Lady in the back seat. Arriv
ing at the big rectangle of green
t grass, the two huskies were set free
for a run. (The date, by the way,
was January 3, 1931.) Unalaska
bounded gaily from the car, making
an eager dash for the greensward.
Lady followed.
But there was a street to cross
before the grass was reached.
Along that street at top speed
came a coupe driven by u young
man with a wide-brimmed slouch
hat. He did not slacken his space,
nor swerve, as the hero dog bounded
across the roadway. To him. appar
ently, it was not worth while to
risk stripping his gears in order to ,
save a mere deg from death.
The front wheels smote the gal
loping Unalaska, and the dog was
dragged fiftj' feet before his body
could be knocked free from the
speeding car. Men and women
hissed and shouted. The driver
pulled the wide brim of his hat
down over his eyes to avoid re
cognition, and he stepped on the
gas. Out of sight he whirled, leav
ing behind him in mid-street a
crumpled bunch of tawny fur; the
lifeless body of his victim, Un
alaska.
Foster ran to the spot and pick
ed up the dead Unalaska and car
ried him forlornly to his own car.
Lady, Unalaska's mate, followed
close behind, whimpering heart
brokenly, her head and tail adroop.
Her loved mate was dead, stricken
to death by a hit-and-run driver
She could not-understand. She could
anly mourn.
Unalaska had gambled with
death a thousand times, in bliz
zards and across ice-floes. Through
his courage and brains and muscle,
he had won. But it had profited him
nothing. For at the last he died
beneath the wheels of a carelessly
driven car, whose owner had not
even the decency to stop and mutter
a word or so of regret at his wan
ton dog-murder.
The roads are full of simlar men,
from one end of America to an
other. To them, speed and selffish
convenience is everything and the
life of a friendly and a harmless
dog is less than nothing.
Perhaps I am foolish in believ
ing that such drivers must—some
where and sometime—pay a heavy
bill for their needless killings.

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS
HAVE SOMETHING NEW
It you are going to plant the
vegetable patch this year, plan to
put In some trick vegetables. It will
add Interest to your efforts and new
dishes to the family menus. By
trick vegetables, says a market gar
dener, I mean some of the less
familiar vegetables and varieties of
vegetables that are desirable and
available. The earliest vege-table
specialty I recommend is the edible
pod pea or pea salad. It is by no
means new, but is little raised in
many sections of the country. It is
delicious. It is similar to the garden
pea, but has the advantages orbear
ing earlier, being more prolific and
less susceptible to the weather
changes of the spring. The prepara
tion is merely a matter of string
ing, boiling and serving with but
ter and seasoning. If your family
like salads and you have no water
cress, be sure to plant a packet of
garden cress. In selecting lettuce,
choose a kmd that docs not go to
seed readily. It is possible to pick
nearly all summer from some of the
loose-heading varieties. Of the
squash family, I like the Yellow
Crookneck. It bears rather early,
helping to fill in the gap between
lieas and limas, and has more flav
or than some of the other varieties.
For August bearing, broccoli and
French lima beans, known as flag
eolets, are my favorites. The former
is a green vegetable with a grepn
bloom that forms into a head, and
makes very good eating, prepared
like cauliflwer. The seed is avail
able from seed houses. The French
lima beans are to be shelled, und
are similar in shapa to the beans in
young string beans, but have a very
auierem mvor. rney are delicious
either green or dried. I believe tho
seed is available through most seed
houses. A really amusing vegetable
is the yard bean, so called because
the pods actually measure two or
three feet in length. It comes in
late summer. As it Is a climber, it
should be grown along a fence.;
but failing a fence, it will do nicely
on the stalks of corn. For color ef
fect in your garden, if for nothing
else, plant some red cabbage. Its
flavor Is much the same as the green
kind, but a square patch of the rosy
violet heads is an addition to the
appearance of any garden plot. En
dive is a fall salad that may be
protected from early frosts and will
be usable quite late. Salsify, or
oyster plant, may be left in the
ground practically all winter and
dug as needed. Of course, there is
nothing better than home-grown
celery, but it requires a little extra
care, so I do not urge it on young
gardeners.

BANISH POULTRY PESTS
Red mites take an immense toll
from the poultry flock, but are
very easy to control. Even before
warm weather causes them to
make their appe.arance, the nests,
droppings boards, perches, perch
supports and the hoppers, if they
are of wood, should be sprayed with
a good penetrating red mite paint.
This will absolutely control red
mites, and such control often means
the difference between profit and
loss in the poultry venture. Body
lice cause great losses among both
layers and growing chicks. If the
old hens and pultets, closely con
fined all winter, had a good de.'ous
ing last fall, it is now time to treat
them again. The adult flock should
be given a thorough delousing at
least twice, now and in midsummer.
Nicotine sulphate can be purchased
in liquid form in proper dilutions.
Paint this on the perches in the
afternoon just before the birds go
to roost. Be sure that all of them
go on the perch at night. The close
proximity of the nicotine sulphate
causes the insects to die and fall
off on the droppings board. The
treatment has been known to pre
vent the hatching of lice that are
in the egg form.
WORMS IN HOGS
Since the life history of the
round worm in hogs has been defin
itely worked out, it is not difficult
to raise pigs free from that para
site. True, the following directions
for avoiding worm infestation of
pigs is easier told than done. Never
theless, there are no insurmountable
difficulties to providing a clean far
rowing place for the sows and then
preventing the pigs from coming in
contact with tform infested ground
until they are half grown. To raise
pigs free from worms, three things
are essential: First, a clean farrow
ing pen; second, clean sows at far
rowing time; third, keeping the
pigs away from worm infested quar
ters until they have reached a
weight of 75 to 100 pounds. When
pigs must be farrowed in a central
hog house, see to it that the pen
in which the sow is to give birth to
her litter is thoroughly cleaned a
week or so before the event is to
take place. Remove all manure and
litter and scrape the floor. Then
wash the floor with boiling hot lye,
made by dissolving one pound of lye
In 30 gallons oi water. After the
farrowing pen has been thoroughly
cleaned and bedded with straw, it
Is ready for the sow, but before
placing her therein, wash her sides
and udder with warm water, to
make sure that no worm eggs re
main attached to her body, to be in
Young stock that pays
The folks who made the moat
profit last fall when the egg prices
started climbing away above other
farm product* were, in most in
stances, those who had bought
high-quality chick* that were
hatched relatively early. So If you
feel unable to buy tha usual number
of chicks this spring, buy those ot
better quality. A high-quality chick
must be hatched from disease-free
Mock. It must grow rapidly, ma
ture early, develop into a large in
dividual, lay large eggs and many
ot them. If you get that kind of
gosted by the pigs when they take
their first meal. As soon as the pigs
are large enough to be transferred
to some clean ground — ground on
which hogs have not been raised for
several years — move the sow and
hex litter to the place selected for
that purpose. In moving pigs and
their dam, do not drive them
through the barnyard, which is
filled with millions and millions of
worm eg';'s. for that would complete
ly neutralize the good work already
done. When wean frig time comes,
remove the old sows and leave the
p'gs in this or some other clean
pasture until they weigh 75 to IOC
pounds. Once that wejght has been
attained, they are not likely to be
come infected with worms, even if
placed in worm infested quarters.

LOOKING TO FUTURE
There are many real opportunity
nowadays for those who enjoy breed
ing beef cattle as a farm business
enterprise. We shall always need the
b .st of purebred slock for the im
provement of our common cattle,
without this leaven, our cattle will
deteriorate. A few years ugo, it was
estimated that approximately three
per cant ol our cattle were pure
birds, but, in the last two or three
years many of our purebred herds
have been disbursed, and in many
cases they have beem sent to the
butcher. Those who still possess
purebred herds of beef cattle are
to b? consider'd fortunate, and they
should by all means bans on to
them. They may not bring much
greater revenue than good grades at
present, but a time is coming when
they win. As soon as anything ap
proaching normalcy in agricultural
prices return, it doesn't taka a
piophet to foretell that there will
be greater demand for high class
purebred males and females than
has existed for many years past.
Just as this is a time for the breed
er of superior beef cattle to stay by
his job. so also is it an opportune
time, for a young man to acquire a
few head of purebreds and build up
a herd of cattle that will be a source
of pleasure as well as profit in
years to come. The difference in the
price of a few good purebred and or
dinary grade heifers is very small at
present. In fact, those who have a
little money available can build up
a herd in a comparatively few years
at but little extra expense, and in
due time reap a fair profit. Leaving
the matter of profit out of consid
eration, why not build up a herd of
good cattle since It will cost but
little more, once the original in
vestment has been made — than to
go on breeding grades? Even for
beef production, the choicest cattle
are more profitable than those twe
or three grades below them in qual- l
lty. The question might be raised
whether enougn more pleasure would
not be derived from raising the best
cattle available, even though for a
fewr years no greater profit would
be derived therefrom. Somp farm
ers are beginning to think that the
mere making of money is not the
main tiling to be derived from life.
Doing real constructive work, such
as is involved in breeding purebred
cattle, that will some day be in
strong demand and always will be
needed to maintain the present live
stock standard, carries its own re
ward. It means greater efficiency
in converting feed into beef.
NO SUBSTITUTE FOR CARE
All farm animals, particularly
high producing dairy cows, are crea
tures of habit, demanding regular
ity of attention. One veterinarian
with a large practice in a dairy sec
tion said that 80 per-cent of his
calls to dairy herds were the re
sult of irregularity in kind and
amount of feed, which could easily
have been prevented. Cows should
always have frequent access to suf
ficient water. They should never be
made to suffer thirst and to shrink
in their milk flow because of a dis
tant or empty water tank in sum
mer or ice water in winter, as so
many cows do when the dairyman
neglects this important factor in
their care. It is especially neces
sary for good producing cows to
have a sufficient time dry between
lactation periods so that they can
build up their bodies and strength
en their resistance to disease. The
most terrible loss in all live stock
farming — diseased animals that
have to be disposed of — results
from keeping their vitality depleted
or neglecting sanitation, or in some
other way letting the care factor
get so low that parasites and dis
ease can slip in and get a foothold
and ruin the herd.
