BADLY RUN-DOWN Lady Was Very Depressed on Account of Poor Health. Mis. H. S. Miller, of Spindale, N. C., says: "Five years ago I was very much run-down in health. I would rive out with the least exertion. At times I would have to go to bed. "I tead of Cardui. . . My hus band got me a bottle and en couraged me to take it. I was almost a skeleton, I was so thin. 1 was run-down and my gegeral health was very poor. This was very depressing and I was in low spirits. My husband had to help me around. He did all he could for me and had me keep up Cardui. "1 continued taking the medicine for several months and it was wonderful the improvement I made. I gained over twenty pounds in weight, and I felt so much better besides. This gain was permanent, tocT I have never lost it and my general health has been much better since I took Cardui."

C-34 CARDUI TheWoman'sTonic Vainly Search for Lost Cremona Varnish Says the Encyclopedia Brltaiinlca. j apropos violin varnish: "The varnish | of the old Italian violins contributed j the most Important element of their superiority In tone to their modern copies." "Save the surface and you save all," carols the varnish vendor from the corner paint shop. This Is as true concerning violins as villas, writes Otto Meyer. Charles Iteade, the famous English * novelist, who was also an authority on violins, did not jive up the search for the lost Cremona varnish until the very end of his life, when he admitted, "I have not been able to discover the se cret." And yet it was no secret In Stradlvarlus* day except that each maker mixed and prepared his own Tarnish and had his particular and in dividual way of applying It to his In struments. But with the Introduction of the quickly drying and more con venient spirit varnishes the violin makers gradually lost their skill or their Interest In the old-style product, which fades rapidly out of the picture; and with the end of the Eighteenth century Is gone for good. As Hewer remarks In one of his books: "Once it was generally known how copper could be hardened; how Stonehenge was posed; bow the an cient galleys were rowed; how the old masters mixed their colors; how the poisons of the Medici were distilled; how amber varnish was made and how applied; and today nobody knows!" Those of ns who have been pri al leged to gaze upon the supreme com bination of wood and Tarnish In the "Dolphin Strad," have seen one of the few perfect things on this most Im perfect planet The name itself, the "Dolphin," Is an attempt to picture the undulating and shimmering IOTDII ness of the magic violin. Pilgrims Walked to Rome Two unusual Anno Santo pilgrims recently presented themselves for confession at SL Peter's. One was from Obernmmsgau, in Bavaria, the other from Scotland. Both had made the entire pilgrimage to the Eternal 3ty on foot, except, of course, the passage of the English channel, by the Scot. The clergy raised a fond to permit them to return home by rail road. In the first Anno Santo, 623 I years ago, and many subsequent ones, the great majority of the pilgrims came on foot It ts still customary (or young German boys and girls to walk to Rome In the spring, sometimes with piety In their hearts, sometimes merely with the zest for adventure. Some affect the trade of troubadour and gayly sing to the guitar In the ■treeta, accepting, even requesting, pennies to buy their evening meaL Red Cross Organization The American Red Cross was or ganlred In 1881, one of the roost active founders being Clara Barton, who had served as a volunteer nurse In the Civil war and tinder the Ilefl Cross nag In the Franco-Prussian conflict She became the first president of the American Red Cross. It was Miss Barton's Idea that relief should he provided also for the victims of earth quake, pestilence, or other calamity. Both tha American body and the In ternational committee soon adopted this extension of scops. rfcsoi sticai Line The 19Dth meridian In the Paclßc ocean was selected as the Internation al Oats One largely for the purpoee of coOTeaSeoca.

UNLIVE MJSTOCK PORK PRODUCTION PROBLEMS SOLVED Tertlum Quia U a legal term mea»- Ing 6« BL Hops are found In every county ,ln the United States. In Fome cases the number is limited to a very few, which are usually grown In the back yards where they are maintained and fattened from waste products sorb as scraps from the table, dish water, etc. In other Instances we find bops produced In large numbers, the sale of which affords the chief Income, points out Trof. L. V. Starkey, chief rff the animal husbandry division at Clernson college. is a Significant fact that the lnrger or more mature a hog gets the more erpensive are the gains. This is caused by the ability of the younger animal to consume a larger amount of food In proportion io bis body, and partly, because the younger animal contains a higher per cent of water In the gains which It makes. The economy with which pork can be produced, explains Professor Starkey, .depends largely upon the forages 'which are available. If in dry lot, as much as five pounds of concentrates may be necessary to pro duce one pound of pork. If on good soy beans It Is possible to produce a pound of pork from a pound of corn. These figures show beyond a doubt that forages must be used If pork pro duction Is profitable. Hogs suffer mere frequently from inadequate rations, than do any other class of live stock. This is because they grow more rapidly. The stunted pig is more common than the 3tunted calf or colt Hogs frequently suffer from a lack of minerals and also from a lack of protein. This is large ly caused by the fact that they nr* frequently raised primarily on con centrates from the cereal grains. Whenever they have pasture such as rape or soy beans they usually balance their ration, for forage crops are usual ly rich In both protein and minerals. If forage crops happen to be lack ing at any time during the year a mineral mixture may be made by us ing equal parts of grobnd limestone, salt, and bone meal. This should be kept before the porkers at all tlinea. Habit of Breeding Ewe Lambs Is Not Favored "Much has been «ald against the prac- | tlce of breeding ewe lambs.*' ascordlng | to R. B. Mlllln, sheep specialist of the j University of Idaho extension dlvl- J s|on, "and but little has boon said for lc. The best flockmasters and j shepherds severely condemn It. "The attempt to breed ewe lambs | usually results In partial failure. In most cases not more than .*>o per cent j of them get with lamb. Those that i do get with lamb are stunted by the i demand of the lntnb before and nfter j birth for nourishment which the ewe j herself should have for her own full development. The first lamb Is usually J small and puny and falls to make the quick growth so desirable because of Ks weakness at birth and the In ability of Its dam to provide suffi cient nourishment. "Ewes bred as lambs seldom attain their full development As a result they are undersized, do not produce a full clip of wool, fall to produce the strong, lusty lambs that are a good shepherd's pride and joy. ns well as the basis of his financial returns, are not able to produce the large quan tity of milk no essential for good larahs, and often are lncklng In the maternal qualities which prompt thrifty, well grown ewes to own and take good care of their lambs." Burn All Carcasses Burn nil hogs that die and clean the premises as well as yeu can. Then be generous with the use of coal tar disinfectants in the sheds and places where the sunshine can not penetrate. Expose to sunshine all the places you can und» plow the lots If possible. If any of the unvaccinated hogs ithould live through the attack they are as Immune ns those that were vaccinated. Feed very small amount* of enally digested feed for about two weeks after vaccination. 11111 m 1111111 n 111111 n Live Stock Notes 11 IIHIIHIIIIII 111111 I I I I The hog business needs sanity as well as sanitation. • • • Working a horse immediately after eating often causes colic. • • ■ Brood JOTWS need exercise and should not be too fat • • • Hogs are going up some more.

FARM II STDCKti MILL FEEDS FINE FOR SPRING PIGS Wheat by-prodncta, such »» mid dlings and red dog flour, can be used to %dvfintage with a ration of corn and tankage under price conditions which have prevailed during the past two years, according tft feeding tests which have been made at the Minne sota station. Spring pigs were used in the tests, and four lots were fed dur ing each of two summers. Each year one lot of pigs had a oition of 90 per cent shelled corn and 10 per cent tank age until they reached 100 pounds, after which the ration was changed to 95 per cent corn and 5 per cent tank age. The ration for each of the other three lots each Reason before reaching 100 pounds in weight was 65 per cent corn, 30 per cent wheat by-products and 5 per cent tankage. After passing the 100-pound mark, these pigs had 75 per cent corn, 23 per cent wheat by : product and 2 per cent tankage. The three wheat by-products compared tore standard middlings, flour mid dlings and red dog flour. Gains made on the rations contain ing the wheat mill-feeds were slightly higher than on corn and tankage. On each 100 pounds of gain, 80 to 85 pounds of the mill-feeds saved from 60 to 85 pounds of corn and about 9 pounds of tankape. Tankage used in the tests cost SOO per ton, while the corn averaged about 95 cents per bushel. The grade of standard fed cost $26 per ton. Flour middlings were slightly higher, averaging alioi}t| S3O per ton, while the red dog flour Vest an aver age of about $35 per ton. t At these prices, the pigs which had the two grades of middlings made a little cheaper gain than pigs fed corn and tankage, the savings amounting to 25 to 40 cents on each hundred pounds . of pork. IB one case the gains made J by the pigs which received red dog flour were a little cheaper than those made by the corn and tankage lot while the other year the red dog flour added a little erpense to the gains. The tests indicate that when the wheat by-products, particularly mld j dlings, can be bought at not to exceed ( half the price per ton of tankage they can be used with corn and tankage to | the extent of about one-third of the ration for pigs which are on gcy>d pa#- j ture. Hog Will Keep Clean if Given the Opportunity Many of the failures in hog raising may be attributed to the mistaken Idea that a hog is a filthy, obnoxious heast and should be treated as such, according to D. A. Weber, instructor In animal husbandry at the Kansas State Agricultural college. "A hog will be as cWn as the owner will allow him to be," said Mr. Weber. "If given an opportunity the hog will be a clean hooseteeper. "It Is true that hogs like to wallow. They have no means of perspiring and must wallow to keep cool. However, they will not object to a clean wal low filled with fresh water. Care should be taken not to pour cold water on the back of an overheated hog. It is very likely to cause death. "Obstinacy is a trait of the hog, and patience must be used in handling the animals. They are also home loving creatures, and frequent chang ing of quarters often causes them to become chronic fence breakers." Value of Skim Milk One hundred pounds of skim milk la ordinarily werth the equivalent oT ten pounds of corn plus five pounds of tankage for fattening hogs. With suckling brood sows or young pigs or fall pigs which are not doing well. It may be worth more than this. With com and tankage at present prices aklm-milk would seem to be worth about 35 cents per 100 pounds for fat tening hogs. Friends of Farmer Weeds are the enemies of the farm er and abeep are the enemies of weeds. Hence—sheep are the farmer's friends—especially in these days of meat and wool shortage. The farmer with a good flock of aheep Is sitting pretty. The farmer who Is not sit ting pretty had the chance to get started with aheep when the start' lng was good. It's not too late now, at that * Producing Better Stock Before good live stock can be pro duced In large numbers there must be a wide appreciation of the utility value of good breeding coupled with the actual use oC hlgh-daas pure bred sires at the head of herds and flocks. The better-sires—better-stock cam paign undertakes to supply this need la an educational way. Consumption of Mutton The aheep grbwer most depend upon home coasnmptian to nse the and mutton produced. There seems to be room for a great increase la the demand. The average yearly con sumption of mutton and lamb »per capita In the United State* la the decade preceding 1921. was U pounds, 435 per cent of the meat eaten. la Great Britain. It was more tfcaa 28 pounds, 22 per cent of the total meat eaten. As a whole oar tiisll «» —ptiea Is la the dttaa Pretty Tough Veal. The Rev. Melchizedek Johnsing was preaching in Blaekville on "The Prodigal Son." This is the way he elucidated the parable: "An' de prodigal son be done went away fnm his pore ole daddy, an' he stayed in a far-off country foh yeahs and yeahs. But den, after yeahs and yeahs, he done come back to de ole home place, and his daddy done say to de servants: 'Look lieah yo good fer-nothin' rapscalliums, you jes' fotch forl.li dat failed Culf dat we all been a-fatlin' fer .all dese yeahs and yeah*—'" *'llole"cn dar," protested an old darkey in the mourners' seat; "you's off de I rack dar, Brudder Johnsing.
