"Purges” and
"Physics” Bad
for Old Folks
While Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Mon
tkello, IU, a practicing physician for
47 years, knew that constipation was
the curse of advancing age, he did not
believe that a “purge” or “physic”
every little while was necessary.
To bhn. It seemed cruel that so
many constipated old people had to
be kept constantly “stirred np” and
half sick by taking cathartic pllft, tab
lets, salts, calomel and nasty oils.
In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin he
discovered a laxative which helps to
“regulate" the bowels of old folks. Dr.
Caldwell’s 8yrup Pepsin not ohly
causes a gentle, easy bowel movement
tat each dose helps to strengthen the
bowel muscles, shortly establishing
natural "regularity." It never gripes,
sickens, or upsets the system. Besides,
It is absolutely harmless and pleasant
to take.

For 1927
Early tell Is none too early tor poul
try keeper* to make plans tor the
1926 breeding stock, says Cora Cooke,
poultry specialist with the depart
ment of agriculture, University of
Minnesota. A Wisconsin authority
has said that tlie selection of breeders
should begin as soon as the chicks
are hatched.
Miss COokse says the following re
quirements should be kept in . mind
when breeders are being selected: 1,
of a pure breed*, 2, high vitality; 8,
high producing ability as shown by
records or examination; 4, right also
and type; g, confirming as nearly tts
possible to the proper breed and va
riety characteristics.
"Further information, such as may
be obtained by trap-nesting and pedi
gree, la very valuable,” says the spe
cialist. "Absolute knowledge as to
how many eggs a hen has laid in her
pnllet year, bow. many times she has
been broody, and what kind of eggs
she lays Is a distinct help In selec
tion. But when trap-nesting Is not
practicable, ordinary examination will
achieve results, though In a somewhat
smaller degree.
“After selecting the breeders It Is
Important to keep them In the best
physical condition for breeding. This
calls for comfortable quarters with
plenty of room, fresh air and sun
shine, The birds should have an or
dinary faying ration which will keep

Bird Tick Very Serious
Menace to Turkey Grower
Dr. W. A. Billings of the agricul
tural extension service, University, of
Minnesota, warns turkey growers to
be on the lookout for the bird tick
which has made its debut In Atkin
county, Its first appearance In Minne
sota. This tick should not be con
fused with the common Minnesota
wood tick or the fowl tick of the
Southern states. It has the same gen
eral appearance, but Is a distinct
species. .t
"The ticks are seen most around
the eyes and n«cks at the young tur
keys,” says Doctor Billings. “They
are very destructive and In one out
break killed 40 out of 46 poults. There
Is no successful treatment. The only
thing that can be done is to . go over
the birds once or twice a week by
hand and pick off the ticks.
“It is possible these parasites were
introduced Into Mlunesota from wild
fowl or through the Interchange of
breeding stock from other states. The
tick appeared In Vermont In 1909.”
Teach Chicks to Roost
as Early as Possible
As soon as possible chicks should
be taught to roost. After they roost
the dangers of crowding or piling in
the corners is eliminated and a great
problem M the poultry keeper Is near
ing solution. At'the earliest oppor
tunity roosts should be Installed a
foot or eighteen inches above the-floor
along the back of the bouse so as to
encourage roosting. One should care
fully observe the chicks and always
provide an abundance of roosting
space. The brooder house should be
supplied with fresh air so as to afford
comfort to the chleks. This discour
ages their roosting in trees. A good
rule is to get the chicks on the roost
at the earliest age possible.

Discrimination Against
Eggs in Cold Storage
An Interesting argument has been
going on recently.'over the question,
“When Is an Egg Freeh?” Undue dis
crimination against' eggs that have
been kept In cold storage has aroused
butter and egg dealers to an effort
to change the ppbllc attitude. One
suggestion is that storage eggs should
be lhbeled “Kept Fresh in Cold Stor
age.” It is pointed out that eggs
which are placed In cold storage are
of the finest quality, being produced
In the spring, add .-may actually be

Complete Set of Names and
Terms to Describe
Groups Desirable.
TPrapan* hr th. Dotted States Deportment
of Arriculturo.)
Hie need tor standard market
classes and grades of live. stock Is
emphasised by the United States De
partment of Agriculture In a bulletin
which sets forth a standardisation
program.
“Even since the establishment of
central Ure stock markets,” say# the
bulletin, “there has been considerable
confusion, much disappointment, and
untold loss and waste, because of the
difficulty fa describing market 'trans
actions in such a way that the pro
ducer on the farm or on the range,
the slaughterer at some distant pack
ing center, the trader on another mar
ket, and the student in his classroom,
may understand exactly what - hap
pened on the market
Have Own Standards.
"Practically every live stock mar
ket hits Its own standards, Its Indi
vidual preferences, and its own meth
ods of doing business. All these mat-.
ters are thoroughly understood by
those on Jhe market dally, but when
an attempt Is made to describe mar
ket transactions to some one at a dis
tance, or to one who Is unfamiliar
with practices prevailing at that par
ticular market, difficulties are en
countered.
“Much of the confusion,” the depart
ment continues, ‘‘arises from the fact
that a certain set of names and trade
terms are rather generally used to
describe live stock at all markets.
The-meaning of the names and terms,
however, varies between markets, be
tween individuals on the same mar
ket, and frequently with the same in
dividual on the same market at differ
ent times and different seasons.
“One result of this variety of defi
nitions of terms and shifting of stand
ards Is that producers having shipped
Uve stock to a certain market In the
belief that prices were highest there,
frequently are disappointed to find
that prices actually are higher at
some other markgt which they might
have patronized. Frequently live
stock is forwarded from one market
to another because the shippers be
lieve the second market is higher than
the first, when subsequent events show
the opposite to be the case. In most
instances of this kind the difficulty is
due, not to any intention to deceive
on the part of anyone, but merely to
the fact that the same or similar
terms carry different meanings on dif
ferent markets snd when used by dif
ferent individuals.
Desirable Condition*.
"In view of such condition* It would
seem highly desirable to have a com
plete Set of terms and names with
which to describe the various groups
Into which live stock 1* sorted at cen
tral markets and, for such names, defi
nite and fixed definitions which can
be understood and interpreted it the
same way by producers, shippers,
commission men, traders, packer buy
ers. or anyone else connected with the
Industry. Both an arrangement must
facilitate live stock marketing and
Investigations In Wisconsin Jus*
shown that one of the causes for the
decline to various clover crop# is lack
of sufficient potash. Alfalfa and all ot
the rioters use large quantities of
potash, and cannot do their best when
there Is a shortage of this dement.
One of the Indications of potash
starvation to alfalfa Is .tiny white
spots die else of swell pin heads ap
pearing on the leaves, while the same
thing to clover Is Indicated by similar
yellow and brown spots.
The Wisconsin College of Agricul
ture, pointing ont that It takes four
tons of farm manure to supply the
potash needed by one ton of alfalfa
or clover, says that It Is more eco
nomical to use a potash fertilizer than
to depend upon farm , manure to keep
up the supply of this dement. From
one hundred to'two hundred pounds
per acre of a potash fertiliser Is suf
ficient tor clover; alfalfa require*
three hundred to five hundred pound*
per acre. This may be applied as ft.
top dressing to the spring or fall after
the crop Is started.
