CHILDREN LOVE
SYRUP
It is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.
Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the "dose" mother insisted
on castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-founded.
Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
Zxiwels need cleansing, give only deli
cious "California Syrup of Figs." Its
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless "fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
Jove to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet

.given tcday saves a sick child tomor

Those who are interested in poul

formation that they can obtain from

matiou than if they would read all
the poultry books in existence. When
they do ask the one who failed, he al
ways gives the answer that "there
isn't any money in the poultry busi
ness." They must investigate for
themselves, and never allow their
opinions regarding poultry to be in
fluenced by others. The statement
that poultry is unprofitable is without
foundation. The fact that eggs and
what the results may be. The poultry
poultry today command a better price
than ever before shows that the de
mand exceeds. the production, and we
all know that where this is the case,
the production of poultry and eggs
will be profitable; of course there are
many rules that have to be followed
before this can be realized.
The great reason why so many have
failed is because they have the wrong
Idea of the business. As a rule,- they
think .that If one has chickens no
matter what kind, and if he feeds
them, he ought to realize profit. They
have the idea that all one has to do
is to invest a few dollars in poultry
and before long- he will be receiving
such an income from the business to
make a "living." They do net realize
that it takes knowledge and business
abilitv to make a success, and that
A Poor Beginning.
not every person or any person can
make it pay. The reason for all these
wrong ideas is that" they have made
their "plunge" without reasoning out
business must be worked out and stud
ied continuously to succeed. ,
In gathering material for this arti
cle, the writer visited the poultry
yards of many successful and many
unsuccessful poultrymen. In the yards
of those that were successful the first
thing that attracted his attention was
the cleanliness of both houses and
yards. One breeder in particular used
lime so that it looked as if the drop
ping boards were concrete. He did
not sprinkle the lime around In heaps,
as is commonly done, but he dipped a
broom in the lime and then swept the
boards off. The result was that ev
erything was cleaned in an attractive
way, and the lime was not so easily
stirred up. If lime is sprinkled in lit
tle heaps and the fowls become ex
cited, they are liable to stir it up so
they can hardly breathe. If this hap
pens, it will seriously retard the
growth of young chickens. The yards
of this breeder were swept every
morning when the weather conditions
were favorable. Of course, that part
which he was cultivating for green
food was not disturbed or the part he
had reserved for dust baths. When
he had all the rubbish swept up, he
did not pile it in some corner, but it
was burned immediately. Here lies
one of the secrets of his success.
The next point that was noticed was
that every man had , thoroughbred
stok. Some had paid as high as $10
per bird. This does not seem high
to the professional poultryman, but
when the average person 'reaches
the point where he is willing to pay
that much, it shows he realizes what
ia needed to make a success. When
one visits a poultry yard and finds
fine, thoroughbred stock he Invariably
becomes a friend of the -owner. The
birds are not only pleasing to the eye.
but they actually earn their "salt."
it has been said that a thoroughbred
bird requires less care, feed and
equipment to make a success than a i
r -? ws
"scrub" doe3. Of all the poultry
yards visited there was only one case
of a failure being made with a thor
oughbred stock, and this was due to
inattention to the flock on the part
of the owner.
The next thing that was noticed in
particular was the strict attention and
good care the poultry received at the
hands of the poultryman. Every little
detail had been worked out in a way
that would lower expenses and save
labor. Up-to-date supplies and appli
ances were used in every case, and by
so doing the breeder saved an enor
mous amount of hard work. The
fowls were given the best of care, not
only for the day that the writer vis
ited them, but for every day of the
year, no matter how hot or how cold
it might be. At certain hours of the
day they were given their various
feeds, and the poultryman never -allowed
himself to vary from the hour.
Where the writer found poultry a
failure, he was Impressed with the
fact of the carelessness and general
neglect on the part of the poultryman.
Many a person had never cleaned out
the poultry house since it was erected.
The droppings are a foot or two deep
and the general conditions are such
that a person could not live In them
one day without catching some dis
ease. Such conditions are a disgrace
to the owner, and anyone should be
ashamed to allow anyone to see such
hole3. As a rule, the outsldes of the
houses were regular "pictures" of
neatness and cleanliness, but one
glance inside would cause the observ
er to lose all the favorable Impres
sions he had before.
The writer has seen farmers that
were actually afraid to go inside their
hen houses to gather the eggs, be
cause of the mites. They would stand
in the door, and when they saw an
j egg that was handy, they would rush
m and gran it ana rusn out, complete
ly covered with mites. How under
the sun can one expect hens to thrive
with such surroundings as that? And
then when this sort of people fail in
the at.tempt to "make money" they say
"that there isn't any money in the
poultry business." Of course there
isn't for such people as they are! In
the spring time they never think of
setting a hen, but sinply "let nature
take its course." If a hen wants to
set, all right, but she must setvunder
a burdock leaf and endure all manner
of weather and at the same time for
age for food. The eggs are never
gathered unless they happen to think
of it or when they need some grocer
ies from the village store. As a result
half of the eggs are worthless, and
they lose a little money. If you try
to give this class of poultrymen a
you know about chickens?" It is
useless to talk to them. When a man
reaches the point where he thinks
there is no room for improvement or
will not take a Uttle valuable informa
tion In a friendly way, it is useless
to waste breath on him.
We have seen that the essentials
necessary for success in poultry busi
nes are: (1) sanitary conditions; (2)
good stock; (3) good care and strict
attention to business; (4) a man at
the head who has business ability; (5)
good equipment. We found the rea
sons for failure to be: (1) inattention
to business; (2) wrong impression of
the business, and (3) unsanitary con
ditions and general neglect.

thought, for it ia given here only with
the view of helping you to better

pocketbook. The writer knows the
above conditions necessary for the
success of the poultry business, be
cause he has been through the "mill"
himself, and had to solve everything
alone. It was for the very kind of
advice given In this article that he
hungered, and he is trying to give it
to" the farmers now, so that poultry
will become one of the great "ends" of
successful , farming in the future.
Degrees of Lumpy Jaw.
There is an unnecessary prejudice
against lumpy-Jaw cattle, according" to
Dr. M. H. Reynolds of the Minnesota
station. A considerable percentage of
these cases are passed by government
inspectors as fit for food purposes.
Only the very bad cases, especially
those where the disease affects sev
eral organs or parts of the body, are
condemned.

FOWLS SUITABLE FOR FARM
Old Farmer Says He Has Never Seen
Anything Better Than Plymouth
Rocks and Wyandottes.
Many farmers have hobbles and p6t
theories which sometinies bring them
plenty of "experience," but a a rule
they look at everything along utility
linos, says Farm News. Some farm
ers have been looking for the best
farmer's fowl, have bred almost all
breeds in existence, and yet have to
confess to failure along these lines.
At times he thinks that ho has the
best bird cornered only to find that
it is stil. at large. A buzz-saw is all
right for the purpose for which it was
intended, but it can't be used for
shaving a man's beard. All theso
things are very practical in their way,
but making them answer for all pur
poses is very much like corralling a
cyclone, soc.athing no man has suc
ceeded in doing.
One person wants fowls for the pro
duction of eggs, and, therefore, will
want the breed whose hens prove to
be the best layers. Another wants
the best table fowl, and an entirely
different breed will be selected. The
third man' wants a fowl with a cer
tain fancy feather and pays a fancy
price for it. A farmer living several
miles from town cares very little for
fowls of any particular kind, yet he-
Columbian Wyandotte Pullet.
will admit that they are an unfailing
source of supply in case of emergen
cy in supplying the table, buying tho
groceries and keeping him out of
debt for long intervals.
The farmer's flock should be pro
lific without sacrificing other quali
ties. They should be good table fowls.
To satisfy ..his requirement they must
be of good size, plump and of good ap
pearance when dressed. They must
be hardy and good foragers, as there
is much waste food on the farm that
can be converted into cash returns
by the fowls. The hens must be good
sitters and mothers, as many farmers
are not ready to buy incubators al
though they should do so at once.
These are questions .that are being
studied by the careful, and each in
dividual will have to determine the
matter for himself. "An old farmer
who is now off the active list, but still
lives on the farm and raises poultry
as a diversion says he visited many
poultry sows just to 'Inspect some
of the best birds of the new varieties,
and he says that he has never seen
anything better than the Plymouth
Rock and Wyandotte varieties for real
business stock. He said: "You can
tell inquirers that these two breeds
are still at the top, and there are
enough varieties of them to please
any sensible person. As to individual
taste, the old Indian said if men were
all alike they would all want his
squaw."
So many varieties of chickens have
been evolved that it seems as if there
should be nothing left to be sought
or desired in the way of beauty or
utility.
Sell all the roosters not neded for

Don't buy breeding stock that lacks
in stren6th and vigor.

Keep everlastingly and eternally
after the lice and mites.
A box f crushed oyster shells

Keep he coops for the small chicks
at a distance from the hen "house.
Low perches will induce young stock
to roost in the poultry house early in
life.
The color of the egg shells has noth

eggs.
A combination of the heat with lice
pests is enough to cause fowls not to
do well. &

Secretary of Extension Department
X M-Midy Bible Institute, Chicago
TEXT
19:20.
Is It not a little one? Genesis
ThQUgh Lot
lived in the dawn
of human history
and in a far-away
land, he is a mod
ern character and
seems like a citi
zen of our own
community, so
frequently do 'we
meeten of sim
ilar character and
conduct. He es
teemed Bilver of
more value than
a soul, and the
variety and ex
citement of life in
Sodom to dwelling in peace and quiet
in the tents with Abraham. He is
an illustration of the swift descent of
the soul into the vortex of sin. He
got into Sodom, which was not evil
necessarily, but then Sodom got into
him, and that is evil always. We
know from tbt record that it was a
wicked town, full of sin and abomi
nation, so wicked that even the plead
ing of righteous Abraham, the friend
of God, could not save it; though Lot
was saved, yet so as by fire.
Lot's question was asked as he was
being led out of the city by the mes
senger from God. It was a crisis day.
The men plead with Lot to bring .his
family out with him; to his sons-in-law
he seemed as one that mocked,
so useless was his testimony. The
angels constrained Lot to flee with
his wife and two daughters. "But he
lingered; and the men laid hold upon
his hand, and upon the hand of his
wife, and upon the hand of his two
daughters, Jehovah being merciful
unto him; and they brought him
forth, and set him without th'e city
. . . Escape to the mountains, lest
thou be consumed." But Lot does not
want to go all the wp.y in obedience,
and as he comes to Zoar he says, "Be
hold now, this city is near to flee unto.
Is it not a little one? Oh let me
escape thither.", -
How often have we asked Lot's
question about our Life, when God
has given some clear command.
Something is under sentence, we
know it. but we think it unimportant.
Is it not a little one? For example:
lack of love, irritability, worldliness,
a sharp tongue, falsehood, unclean
ness, grieving the Holy Spirit, lack
of forgiveness or apology, unconcern
about our own souls. You excuse
these; you palliate them; you laugh
at them; you have them j'ourself, and
encourage those who do them. - You
say, "Is it not a little one?" And
many of your fellow-men are as un
concerned and indifferent as you are.
But God let me pause to think of
him calls these things sin. He says
these things are fit for destruction
and this warning to you has been
timely, ample and urgent. You make
light of sin, but God's just judgment
outweighs your selfish opinion prompt
ed by carnal desires. No sin is small
in his sight, and he knows the full
measure and meaning of it. This
little one may be the seed of a vast
and vicious brood. Beware of any
sin. Fear it, hate it, flee from it.
Say "No" to sin. Burn the witches
which seek your destruction. More
it is an awful thing to have any known
sin and be determined to keep it
You ask about your pet sin, as Lot
did about Zoar. Yes, God did spare
the city, but he does not spare sin.
He knows what it is and what it
means, toward God and toward men.
He knows what it does robs of
peace, shuts the soul out from God,
makes cowards and makes tools for
Satan, brings helplessness, hopeless
ness and death. He knows what sin
costs Christ and Calvary, for Christ
was manifested to take away sin; is
he doing it in you? Can you face
these facts and then stand up and
say, "Is it not a little one?" You may
make a mock of sin now, but what
will you say in that day when the
Judge will be on the throne?
And we know how little influence,
power and happiness people have who
cling to their sins and who refuse
to obey the command of God to es
cape to the mountain. This weakness
of testimony appears in the home,
in the church, and in the community.
The world has no use for a sinful
member of the church. It finds fault,
it cries shame, and it stays away from
the church, from Christ and from
heaven. Are you responsible for any
such? Do you meet complaint, criti
cism or censure with "Is it not a
little one?" God pity you!
These things ought not so to be.
They need not be so. . "Ye know the
grace of our Lord Jesus." Grace
enough for all, and free. Grace for
salvation, for keeping, for perfection
in the presence of Jesus at the last.
"By grace are ye saved."
Do you not see how great and
grievous a thing sin is? Do you not
want to come into right relations
with God? I declare emancipation
from that sin, by Jesus Christ, who is
able to save unto the uttermost. Don't
stay in slavery, but come out into the
large place provided by Jesus Christ
