General "Demand .of the Well-informed of the World has talways been for a simple , pleasant and 'efficient ' liquid laxative remedy of known value ; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its com ponent parts arc known to them to be wholesomfc and truly beneficial in effect , acceptable to the system and gentle , yet prompt , in action. In supplying that demand with its ex cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna , the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remark able success. That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To got its beneficial effects always buy the genuine manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. , only , and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

Xittaro Smiles on Scene. The day was clear and delightfiillj cool , and the local committee on ar rangements was prepared to carry out In full the long outdoor program which the heavy rains the previous day threatened to curtail. Incoming trains in the morning brought throngs of vis itors from the middle and western sections - tions of the State , while the trolley cars from points as far west as Syra cuse were crowded. Among the distin guished arrivals were Secretary Hoot whose home is ten miles from Utica ; National Chairman Frank II. Hitch cock , who came from Chicago , accom panied by several members of his staff , and State Chairman Timothy L. Wood- ruff. CisrureHes of a Year. From the preliminary report of tht commissioner of internal revenue it ap pears that there were smolced in ttiia country last year cigarettes to the num ber of ri.402.SOll. : ? { . not counting the little cigars. From the same report it 5a apparent that the consumption of spiritu ous liquors is on the decrease. On the other -hand , the consumption of beer ia increasing. During the fiscal year ? 131- 7S0.242 was paid to the government on spirits , as compared with $147fK)0,23l the previous year. The decrease in liquors distilled was over 1. 5.000. 000 gallons. In the same time "iS.747GSO barrels of beer were made , a gain of 201.000 barrels. To bacco yielded a total revenue of $49.802- 754 , or a loss of nearly $2,000.000. Tovror Good A lverlising.

' The odors in the dairy barn can nearly all be absorbed by plenty of dry earth or land plaster. Trying to run a farm without ma nure is like trying to run an automo- bi v/ithout gasoline.

Alfalfa takes a tremendous amount of moisture out of the s < ) il and is not as good t < .r an orchard as some other less voracious plants. A good brood sj\v m.ist have large capacity for feed , because it requires a great deal of feed to kop nor milk- producing machinery gjijig. Truck crops suffer lease from fungi in seasons that open with a cool spring and end with a very lut summer , with rainfall below the average. Scab , foot rot and liver trouble and catarrh are all induced by lack of thrift. Lack of thrift is induced by lack of care and lack of feed. The man who has no bad habits , never makes mistakes and never fails to say so is tao good for the company of ordinary mortals and should be let uloue. If you are raising ducks v/ithout a swimming place ior them , be sure t- > have the drinking pans deep enough BO they can get their heads entirely un der water. The feeding of dairy cattle affords the dairyman an opportunity to save all of the manure made by feedintr out his crops and return it to his iields for fu ture use. Open sheds facing the south furnish the best roosting quarters for turkeys. You cannot raise turkeys successfully In confinement. They must have a wk range of field. The building of a silo enables the dairyman to "save all of the valuable food elements contained in his corn crop and get the most profit out of feed ing it on his own farm. A few days of pasturing on the stub ble fields after the grain is cut and out of the way will provide considerable good feed for ihe strok oiul will be a good thing for the field. To make the most out of sheep they must be kept for a series of years. Some years they will return a much better profit than in others , but it Is liaird to sell out and buy at the right time. Artichokes are in some little demand In city markets during early spring for pickling. They must lie fairly smooth , uniform and large , and washed very clean. A few produce dealers handle them.

They are made to servo as beasts of burden , be cause they are more sure-footed than larger beasts , and the mountain paths along the foothills of the Himalayas are steep and difficult. The load for each sheep is from 10 to 20 pounds. The sheep are driven from village to village , with the wool still growing , and in each town the farmer shears as much wool as he can sell there and loads the sheep with the grain which he receives in exclnnge. After his flock has been sheared he' turns it homeward , each sheep having on ite back a small bag containing the purchased grain. Wasted I'roiluets. At Ibis time a tourist through Tcxat sees one peach orchard after another overloaded with fruit. It is not possir- ble to either consume it or to sell it all fresh. In places the ground is aly ready covered with peaches. Now , the only means of saving such precious surplus is to either dry the fruit or preserve it. The people of the South , largely because of the great abun- uam-u of it. have always suffered se- rio"is waste at this point. It is the stare of , the potato crop , peanut crop ami other c-rops. Even-thing of value should be saved in some way. It should be preserved for future use or fcr a future demand of the market that .may be overcrowded during the rush of the different products to the consumers. It should be the desire and the constant study of every Texan to save the waste here or there. Dal las News. Ilewaro of tlio Bis Eprs. It is common every now and then to read an account .in' some newspaper of one of the subscribers bringing in an extraordinary large egg into the office of the editor , and the aforesaid editor at once heralds the news as though it was of great public importance. Such eggs are important to the poultryman , inasmuch as they are danger signals. They tell of an unhealthy condition of the hen that laid them. Xo strong , healthy hen will lay either a double- yollcod egg , a round egg , a badly shaped egg or a soft-shelled egg. Some thing is wrong with the hen that lays anything different than a regular shaped egg. Instead of rejoicing at these extra large eggs , there should be cause of regret. At once the mat ter should be investigated and the genT , oral condition of the flock should be looked into. If it is found that they all or the majority of them , are heavy , it is well to cut down the quantity of the carbonaceous or starchy foods and increase the nitrogen material. iK'e Culture in tlio Xorili. Botanists in the employ of the United States Department of Agriculture hope to bring into being an orange tree which will be as sturdy as the apple tree ; an orange tree that will not perish in the chill of northern winter , -which in De cember will bear its wreath of snow and in May its garlands of bloom , and when summer comes will yield fruit as good as that sweetened in the south sun. sun.This This may aeem to be an unnatural preposition , says the Technical World , but it only seems so. Xo violence upon the laws of nature has been or will be attempted. It is simply an effort to make the citrus tree which bears the sweet table orange as hardy and insen sitive to cold as the citrus tree which bears the bitter , uuedible orange. By crossing a citrus tree which grows in the north and which bears an unedible fruit with the citrus tree of the south it is sought to beget a plant in which will be combined the good traits of each. Government botanists are confident that the results\of this citrus marriage will be a scion that will grow and fruit at a latitude midway between the northern limits of the sweet and the bitter orange. If this should be , there might be orange groves in Central Vir ginia. Middle Kentucky. Southern Indi ana , Southern Illinois , Central Mis souri and Central Kansas. Think of orange groves around the homes in Ilichmond , Louisville , Cincinnati , St Louis and Kansas City. Mat of HIIi'i. * > btv. l.rovr * . The list of microns continues to grow steadily.

" BORAX IN THE DAIRY. A Matter of Profitable Interest to the Parmer and Dairyman. The problem of keeping sweet all the utensils used in connection with mill : and cream selling , and butter making , has been a serious one with the farmer. He has come to realize fully that the slightest taint or hint of staleness left in a can , tin or churn may ruin a whole output : that the taint which is left is in the form of bacteria which grow and multiply in milk or butter , producing disastrous results. The farmer has learned that hot water won't rinse away the greasy resi due in dairy utensils. He has learned that soap loaves a residue of its own which is. if any thing , worse than the milk or cream ic.sidue. and it is little wonder that there has been a constant clamor for a dairy cleanser and sweetener that will meet modern requirements. A few of the largest creamery esta'- lishments have called experts into con sultation on this problem and ln\ " with this scientific aid hit upon a pro duct of nature which exactly fills the bill borax. Scientists have long known borax as a cleanser , a sweetener and an anti septic destroyer of bacteria and germ growths. Destroys all that is harmful and promotes and preserves freshness , swcotne < s and purity , relieving the dairyman and dairy housewife of drudgery and of needless work and worry. Its cheapness and value should give it first place in the necessities of every dairy. The cow's udder is kept in a clean , healthy and smooth condition by wash ing it with borax and water , a tablespoonful - spoonful of borax to two quarts of water. This prevents roughness and sore ness or cracking teats , which make milking time a dread to the cow and a worry to the milker. The modern cleanser of all dairy utensils consists of one tablespoouful of borax to every quart of water need ed. Remember a tablespoonful equals four teaspoonfuls. Be sure that you get pure borax. To be sure , you must get " 20 Mule Team Borax. " All dealers.
