Fill LAXATIVE
FORJi CHILD
California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm tender stomach,
liver and bowels.
Every mother realizes, after giving
her children "California Syrup of
Figs" that this Is their Ideal laxative,
because they love its pleasant taste
and it thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with
out griping.
When cross, irritable, feverish, or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give a
teaspoonful of this harmless "fruit
laxative," and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow
els, and you have a well, playful child
.gain. When its little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic remem
ber, a good "inside cleaning" should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep "California
Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50
cent 'bottle of "California Syrup of
Figs," which has directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups
printed on the bottle. Adv.

LIFT OUT ANY CORN

Apply a few drops then lift j

Just think! You can lift
off any corn or callus
without pain or soreness.
A Cincinnati man discov
ered this ether compound
and named it freezone. Any
druggist will sell a tiny bot
tle of freezone, like here
shown, for very little cost.
You apply a few drops di
rectly upon a tender corn
or callus. Instantly the
soreness disappears, then
shortly you will find the
corn or callus so loose that
you can lift it right off.
Freezone is wonderful. It
dries instantly. It doesn't
eat away the corn or cal
lus, but shrivels It up with
out even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Hard, soft or corns be
tween the toes, as well as
painful calluses, lift right
off. There is no pain be
fore or afterwards. If your druggist
hasn't freezone, tell him to order a
small bottle for you from his whole

TO OBTAIN HEALTHFUL MILK
Cows, Barns and Yards Must Be Kept
Clean Small Top Pails Keep
Out Foreign Matter.
(By V. R. JONES. Dairy Husbandry De
partment. South Dakota State College.)
Cows must be healthy and kept
clean.
Ilarns should be kept clean, well
lighted and ventilated.
The barnyard should be kept clean
and properly drained.
Utensils should . be thoroughly
washed and scalded or steamed and
kept in a clean room.
Cows should be fed good wholesome
food and pure water.
Milkers and attendants who come
in contact with the milk should be
healthy and clean.
Cows should not be fed at milking
time or immediately before. Dust from
feed falls into the milk and contam
inates it with germs.
Wipe the udder and side of cow
with a damp cloth and milk with
clean, dry hand.
Use small-topped milking pail. This
helps to keep foreign matter from the
milk.
Remove the milk immediately after
milking to a separate room from the
barn to be strained and cooled. Cool
milk to as low a temperature as pos
sible without freezing. Forty or fifty
degrees F. retards growth of most
germs, and particularly those that
cause milk to sour quickly.

EARLY AND GENTLE TRAINING
Task of Halter-Breaking Heifer Calves
Cannot Be Begun Too Early
Handle Them Daily.
Halter-break all the heifer calves
before they get very large. Can't do
it too soon. No matter whether you
ever lead your cows or not you want
them broke to lead. Handle the calves
daily as they grow. Hub them, fool
around their hind quarters so that
they will not be scared or ticklish the
lirst time they are milked.
FOR PURE DAIRY PRODUCTS
Clean Milk, Quick Cooling and Prompt
Delivery Are Factors of Much
Importance.-
The number of bacteria in milk de
pends largely upon cleanliness of milk

which milk is kept and age of milk.
Therefore, clean milk, quick cooling,

DAMAGE CAUSED BY
CONSTRUCTION OF FRAME FOR HOPPER DOZER.
The clover leafhopper does far more
damage than Is usually realized. In a
publication of the United States de
partment of agriculture (Fanners' bul
letin 737) by Kdniund H. Gibson, it
is stated that the loss from this cause
to the clover and alfalfa hay crops of
the country Is frequently attributed to
poor soil and climatic conditions. For
this the minute size of the pest, which
frequently enables It to escape obser
vation. Is largely responsible. As a
matter of fact, continued attacks by
the leafhopper, especially in some of
the central states, often result In the
loss of n considerable percentage of
a single cutting.
Crowd Together.
It Is characteristic of leafhoppers to
crowd together In great numbers, as
many as fUH having been counted
upon one plant. In feeding upon the
plant the Insects make tiny punctures.
Around these the tissue gradually be
comes yellow, the spot enlarging and
becoming more pronounced until the
leaflets ultimately curl up and the fol
iage wilts. The female also forces
her eggs into the stem and leaf tissue,
frequently causing n gall-like forma
tion. Alfalfa, clover, cowpeas and
vetch are among the principal plants
attacked, but the pest Is common In
meadow and pasture lands and feeds
on a number of cultivated as well as
native grasses throughout practically
the entire country.
The clover leafhopper Is about one
eighth of an Inch in length and half as
wide, and is marked In a manner to
distinguish it from many other kinds
of clover and alfalfa. The fanner will
distinguish leafhoppers from other In
sects by their habit of jumping, their
quick movement?, and their minute
size. In certain respects they resem
ble diminu'ive grasshoppers.
Where It Spends Winter.
As the clover leafhopper spends the
winter tinder clumps of gr;ss, weeds
and trash, the burning of rubbish and
vegetation during winter months In
waste places and along fence rows and
roadsides will do much to prevent the
pest attaining destructive numbers the
following year. This- precaution will
destroy great number of other hiber
nating Insects as well as the leafhop
pers. During the growing season close
cutting or pasturing of grass lands is
recommended. Cutting alfalfa crops
from a week to ten days earlier than
Tjsual will often check the ravages of
the Insects ami may be advisable when
then1 is evidence that the leafhoppers
are causing suflicient injury to justify
the risk of loss through premature
cutting.
Each year this leafhopper. by less
ening the vitality of its food plants,
occasions more or less damage over
Its entire range of distribution, caus
ing a positive, although not easily
estimated, decrease in the clover and
alfalfa hay crops of the country.
Continued attacks often result In the
loss of a considerable percentage of a
single cutting; especially is this true
In some of the central states. The
leafhopper causes the greatest dam
age during the spring and early sum
mer months, as the foliage Is then
most succulent and the tissues very

tender, enabling even the Immature
leafhoppers readily to pierce the skin
of leaf, and stem and suck the juices.
The Incessant drain from concentrated
attacks causes the clover plants to
wither, and although they may not
die, the new growth which is put forth
Is very apt to be thin and spindling.
With alfalfa It Is the first two crops
which appear to suffer most. The
drain upon alfalfa plants does not
show as markedly as with clover, es
pecially during a drought, since the
alfalfa roots go deeper Into the ground
and the plant Is better able to with
stand adverse conditions.
Knovtn as Flies.
In many localities these leafhop
pers are commonly known as "flies,"
but in reality they resemble flies only
In having wings, and because they
are about the size of many small flies
seen in the fields. The adult or pa
rent Insects are light gray In color, but
i
Food of
CLOVER LEAF HOPPERS
have numerous dark markings which
give them a mottled appearance. They
are about one-eighth of an Inch in
length and half as wide.
The manner in which they jump
from plant to plant Is much like that
of grasshoppers.
The primary injury is produced by
the direct feeding of the leafhoppers.
The single tiny feeding puncture is
itself inconsequential, and injury re
sults only when a great number of
leafhoppers attack the same plant.
The clover leafhopper is distributed
generally throughout the United
States, records showing its occurrence
in every section of the country. Its
range also includes southern Canada
and Mexico.
The number of generations of the
leafhopper produced annually in a giv
en locality varies from year to year,
depending on weather conditions, and
it also varies in different latitudes and
climates. For southern Missouri and
northern Arkansas Ihere are usually
three distinct broods, covering ap
proximately (1) April and May, (2)
June and July, and (3) Angus? and
September. Farther south or under
subtropical conditions It Is probable
that there are four or more.
Merely Hide in South.
In the northern states the clover
leafhopper hibernates in the adult
stage, at the base of clumps of grass
and weeds and under dried leaves and
trash. Throughout the central and

southern states It could hardly be said
to hibernate; instead, the adults mere
ly keep In hiding and under cover dur
ing cold weather, coining out on warm
days to bask in the sun and feed upon
such green foliage as can be found.
In Missouri, for example, the adult In
sects have been observed feeding upon
wheat during January and February,
but not in any abundance. Nymphs
cannot long survive cold weather, and
it Is not probable that eggs survive
over winter. In the extreme South
west, where conditions are radically
different, the leafhopper Is active
throughout the entire year.
The adults are -quick of movement
and jump from plant to plant when
disturbed. When strong winds pre
vail they remain in hiding, ok they
seem to dislike windy weather. Their
most characteristic habit Is that of
congregating in great numbers on one
plant, frequently to such an extent
that they crowd one another. This is
what causes the concentrated attacks
in "spots" throughout a field. The
clover leafhopper does not seem to
seek shady or damp places, rather pre
ferring the heat of the midday sun.
Nymphs Not Active.
The nymphs are much less active
than the adults and are not easily dis
turbed. When one brushes against
the plants they cling fast to the stems
and leaves Instead of jumping to an
other plant.
For direct control the hopperdozer
Is recommended. Any form of this de
vice that Is suitable for grasshoppers
will do for the clover leafhopper as
well, but a much lighter and less ex
pensive one can be made for the small
er Insects by stretching canvas over n
wooden frame. This can be made of
such light weight that It will not In
jure the alfalfa and clover plant when
it Is pulled over a field. Two horses,
one hitched at either end, are used
for drawing it. On the Inside of the
canvas a thin coat of a sticky sub
stance made of tree tanglefoot which
has been thinned with cheap castor oil
is spread with a paddle or shingle. As
the leafhoppers and other Insects
alight on the surface of this substance
they are held fast. Such substances
as cheap sorghum have been tried In
place of tree tanglefoot. The sorghum.
however, dries out too quickly and fre
quent applications of It have to be
made. It Is best to draw the hopper
dozer through the ficyis when the crop
is about half grown.
PREVENT SCAB OF POTATOES
Treatment With Disinfecting Solution
Is Recommended to Guard Against
Fungous Diseases.
Treating seed potatoes with a dlsln
fectlng solution to prevent scab and
other fungous diseases Is but little trou
ble, and the expense Is small. Ad

for the purpose will often add $25 to

SELECTING BEST HERD BOAR
Why Is It Important for Breeder to
Choose Animal With Much Care
Some Suggestions.
(By W. T. WASEL. Colorado Asricultural
College, Fort Collins.)
The time is npproacblng when the
hog breeder must select and mute his
breeding herd. It is of prime impor
tance that the boar be selected with
care. The expression "The male is
half of the herd." is often ouoted. This

parents on the offspring is theoretical
ly equal. However, the boar has the
greater influence on the herd. Each
pig in the herd is sired by the one boar,
but there are several dams.
A well-selected male used on a herd
of inferior sows will make a great im
provement In the offspring. However,
the use of an Inferior boar on wellbred
sows will have a correspondingly bad
result. The breeder should select his
herd boar at an early date, and get hlra
accustomed to his new surroundings.
The system of feeding and manage
ment is very Important in getting the
male Into the best condition before
mating.
PROBLEM OF WARMING FEED
Resourceful Farmer Makes Use of Two
Barrels and Fresh Manure to
Heat Slop for Hogs.
(By It. C. ASIIBY. University Farm, St.
Paul.)
A resourceful Minnesota farmer re
ports that he has solved the problem
of wanning the slop-feed for his hogs.
Two barrels are placed near the feed
ing troughs and a day's supply of feed
is placed In each. The barrels are
heavily banked with fresh manure from
the horse barn. The heating of the
pile Warms the feed In the barrels,
as each day's supply stands for 24
hours before using. Whenever neces
sary the banking is hauled away and
a new supply packed about the bar
rels. Opinions differ as to the relative ef
ficiency of slop-f ceding and dry-feeding,
but disregarding the matter of ef
ficiency, some hog raisers prefer slop
feeding for brood sows In wluter for
another reason. In winter hogs do
not drink enough water unless the wa
ter is warm or supplied at frequent
intervals. By mixing water with the
grain the feeder controls the amount
of water consumed by his hogs.
MAKING USE OF ROUGH LAND
Acres Not Suitable for Regular Farm
Crops Will Support Sheep With
Little Expense.
Every farmer with a few acres of
pasture has a good chance to raise
sheep. On many farms there are a
few acres of rough lands not suitable
for regular farm crops. This land with
the proper attention would support
a few sheep perhaps with very little
extra expense for feed.
GARDEN WASTES ARE USEFUL
Pig Is Primary Waste-User and Must
Be Kept in Its Place Avoid
Buying Feeds.
The pig that has to live exclusively
on bought foods will cost more than
its pork is worth, unless it is given a
special valuation for home use.
The pig Is primarily a waste user,
and it must be kept in its place.
Make it use the garden wastes.
ALFALFA IS CHEAPEST FEED
Profitable to Have Rack Filled With
Third or Fourth Cutting Avail
able All the Time.
It is without doubt profitable to have
a rack filled with good third or fourth
cutting of alfalfa available all the tine
so every bunch of hogs on the farm
can eat this hay at their pleasure. It
