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 T'igs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get 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. ; Colored Timber.

Racked and torn with terrific pains, nightly annoyed by kidney irregulari- ties, Mrs. A. S. Payne, of 801 Third Ave. So., Columbus, Miss., suffered for years. She says: ‘The pains in my back, sides and loins were so terrible that 1 often smoth- ered a scream. Every ER move meant agony. My rest was broken by a troublesome weakness and the secretions seemed to burn like acid. I was in an awful condition and doctors did not seem to help.

A machine has just been invented in Prague for assorting coins. The inventor claims that it will assort metal coins which have been thrown together, regardless of their denomin- ations, placing each denomination in a separate basket. The various coins are thrown indiscriminately into a funnel at the top of the machine, and from the funne] they slide downward, alighting on a spi rartalcklitv(il tst, alighting on a spiral track. This track has a protecting edge or raised bor- der containing slits corresponding to the various sizes of the coins. As the coins of various denominations glide downward on to the track. through some peculiar mechanism of the ma- chine they pass through the slits cor- responding to their various sizes, en- tering their respective baskets at the bottom of the machine. It is said that several firms handling large amounts of coin daily have tried the machine with satisfactory results. The same principle is not unknown in Florida and California, where it is adopted for sizing oranges.—Harper’s Weekly. Thinks English Language May Die.: English may be a dead language in 4000 A. D., according to Prof. Fred Newton Scott, of the University of Michigan. In an article on “A Sabsti- tute for the Classics” in the School Review, issued by the University of Chicago press, ~ Scott intimates that Timbuktu will be the world’s capital and that Bantu will be the common language. English is superior to Latin and Greek, but inferior to Bantu. he declares. “TWO TOPERS.” A Teacher's Experience. “My friends call me ‘The Postum Preacher,” ” writes a Minn. school teacher, ‘‘because I preach the gospel of Postum everywhere I go, and have been the means, of liberating many ‘coffee-pot slaves.’ “I don’t care what they call me so long as I can help others to see what they lose by sticking to coffee, and can show them the way to steady nerves, clear brain’ and general ‘good health by using Postum. “While a school girl I drank coffee and had fits of trembling and went through a siege of nervous prostra- tion, which took me three years to rally from. ‘Mother coated me to use Postum, but 1 thought coffee would give me strength. So things went, and when 1 married 1 found my husband ‘and I were both coffee topers and 1 can sympathize with a drunkard who tries to leave off his cups. »At last in sheer “desperation, 1 bought a package of Postum, fol- lowed directions about boiling it, gerved it with good cream, and asked my husband how he liked the coffee. “We each drank three cups apiece, and what a. satisfied feeling it left.

Frequently, the egg-eating habit is caused by soft-shelled eggs ‘being laid. The hens get a taste of the egg and thus form the appetite. To prevent these bad eggs the fowls should be com- pelled to exercise, and there should be such feed given that will supply plen- ty of lime, and in addition a small trough of cracked oyster shell should be constantly within reach of the fowls, so they can help themselves at will.—Farmers’ Home Journal. r Feeding Eggs to Calves. We have had some experience this winter with young calves and have found to feed fresh eggs twice a day to young calves will be a big help, to fatten quéck, and prevent scours. We had two that fed from the cow, and they took scours and so we fed eggs, and it put a stop to that. We hand- fed two or three and gave eggs, and they were soon fat for market. This is our experience on egg-feeding.—Mrs. T. BE. Kinnaman, in the Indiana Farm- er. Milk Kept by Gas Pressure. In some of the milk studies made at York Agricultural Experiment Station (Geneva), it was observed that car- bonic acid gas in the milk tended to prevent its souring. This seemed worthy of further investigation, and a series of tests was conducted in which the ‘gas was combined with the milk varying pressures, using the ordinary soda water chargers and sealing the bottles to retain. the gas and exclude the air. With the higher pressures of gas, souring of the milk was delayed indefinitely; as bottles charged under pressure of 175 pounds to the inch re- mained sweet for five months. The milk thus treated makes an agreeable drink; and it is believed that the pro- cess will be valuable for preserving milk for, use on sea-going vessels, in hospitals and elsewhere. Full details of the tests are given in Bulletin No. 892 of the station, which may be ob- tained on application. The Horse and Over Check. An old and experienced horseman says: “My experience has been that no horse can be successfully, driven with anything like a severe bit. I never saw one that was ever broken of the habit of pulling in that way. If you put a severe bit in the horse’s mouth and pull on it, it makes the horse mad and irritates him; the further you drive him and the harder you pull him the more he will pull against it. When I was a boy, almost every trot- ter I saw would pull in a disagreeable manner when being driven at top speed. At the present time I cannot think of one horse that is anything like first-class that pulls enough to make it disagreeable for the man at any time. A great many people think that every horse should be driven with an overcheck. I can remember when I had the same opinion myself. I am now satisfied that it is a serious mis- take. There are a great many horses that will not take kindly to an over- check, and if you insist on using it on them it will sooner or later spoil the horse’s disposition to a great extent. The first thing in training a horse is to make a careful study of the ani- mal, learning all his peculiarities, faults, weaknesses, habits, ete. I think one vital mistake made by men training horses is that they do not seem to think horses are made of flesh and blood, and very nearly hu- man in all their ways. Greater Corn Crops. Every farmer located in the corn belt is desirous of growing as much corn per acre as possible and it is the fault in many instances of the corn land owner if he does not do so. In this section our farmers are learning that it is profitable to study the minor details that affect the pro- duction of a good healthy corn crop. Proper soil and good drainage are the first two requisites. We have the former and cannot afford to do with- out the latter. Then disk well both ways of the field before breaking up the soil. This cultivates the soil and pulverizes thor- oughly the portion that is to grow and nourish the roots. Before disking the soil it is proper to get all the manures upon the farm onto this soil and thoroughly disk it in by the opera- tion. Then you are ready to break up the soil with a good plow. You will find this last operation greatly lightened by the disking and you cannot only plow better furrows, but deeper as well than where you have a rigid and unworked surface before you. The tilth of the entire field is greatly lightened and much easier prepared for planting. This operation pays great returns when done in tue proper manner and not only pays in‘growing corn alone, but’ as well in growing the potato crop. Then grade your seed, both in qual- ity and in quantity. In quality first. Do not shell into your basket one sin- gle ear that you are doubtful of in ap- pearance. Test each ear by shelling off a few grains and placing them upon a mus- lin mat marked off in checks and respond. Place the mat into a good | sized, flat box filled with moist earth numbered, numbering the ears to cor-¢ or sawdust. In diseard the worthless grains and the ears to which they belong, for they have failed to germinate, or are weak- ly in sprouting. Shell off the tips and a few days you can butts. No use for- them. Yet they will grow and produce, but plenty of nice uniform grains will make a more even stand.—Geo. W. Brown, in the Epitomist. Raising Geese on Farms. Young geese are easily cared for, and cause little trouble or expense to raise after the first six weeks, pro- vided they have access to good goose. pasturage.. They are really grazing birds, and will forage for themselves on the right kind of land. Not only do they get most of their own living, but tend to improve the quality of the land. , No great expense is required for building. A low house four feet high answers for shelter. The floor should be covered with plenty of litter, and no special attention to warmth is re- quired. During the pasture “Season geese should be allowed free range in their pasture, returning at night for shelter. If pasturage is limited it would, pay to grow green crops, such as oats, to be fed off by the geese. A pond or stream is not necessary, but it is desirable to have enough water for them to swim in, and they will find a great deal of natural food along the banks of small; sluggish streams or on overflowed land. During the laying season, early in the spring, the eggs should be re- moved from the nest so that the goose will lay as many eggs as possible, usually from thirty to forty. The sur- plus eggs may be placed under hens, three or four eggs to a hen, choosing large sized birds.” The period of hatching is thirty days. The eggs set under hens are apt to lack moisture and should be sprinkled occasionally to prevent the inner skin from being tough and hindering the hatching of the .gosling. The young goslings will almost raise themselves, being hardy and strong and growing very fast. They soon become able to look.after them- selves. Unlike chickens, they need very little brooding, and at the end of a week or ten days may be kept in good sized flocks of twenty or twenty- five. During the first ten days or so they should be confined in a low, movable run to prevent their ‘wander- ing away and getting lost. This run should be in. a shady .place, and con- nected with a sheltered coop. These youngsters are fed very much like young chickens, plenty cof good fresh skim-milk being especially de- sirable to make rapid growth. After the first ten days the appetite of growing goslins becomes very 'vigor- ous, and cheapness should be sought in the food ration. Besides the grass pasturage, which wiil furnish a large part of the food, it is possible to work off various cheap by-products, such as slightly damaged grains, which may be had at seventy-five cents to $1 per hundred at the grain stores making a specialty of such lines. The goslings may be either grown quickly to market as green geese or kept. through the season: for/ the Christmas. trade, both plans being followed by those farmers of the east- ern states.—American Cultivator, Farm Notes, Cull, cull, cull. The best are none too good for the breeding pen. Do not let pigs get stunted. up-hill work to make much of that does. The more pigs suckled by a sow with her first litter, the more will her milk-producing habit for all time develop. It is one No sire and no’ dam, no matter how great its reputation or how good its pedigree, will produce good pigs ex- clusively. Selection and. breeding up must be done as often as a litter is dropped. When hogs cannot be on pasture, very good results can be got from the use of well-cured hay made from any of the clovers, alfalfa or pea- vines. Hogs will eat large quantities of it and it helps to balance their rations. Some claim that a sow that farrows twice a year will develop more high- ly the milk-giving habit, than if only one litter is dropped a year. The prin- ciple that is supposed to underlie this claim is that from much use the udder develops better. The exper- ience of successful hog-raisers is de- sired on this point. If it becomes necessary to give some of the pigs of one sow to an- other, especially if they are more than two or three days old, brush all the pigs over lightly with a cloth that has been merely dampened with coal oil. Sows distinguish between their own pigs and others largely by smelling them, and the treatment recommend- ed will make them all smell alike. There are two advantages in tak- ing some of the pigs from a sow that has a large number to give to one that has too few: (1) By having some of her pigs taken from her, the sov that has too many will nourish better what remain. (2) The sow that or- iginally has some given to her, will “but FINE AND TRAE REVIEW DUN’'S WEEKLY SUMMARY Good Prospects for Building Trades— Anthracite -Coal Production Exceeds the Record. New York.—R. G. Dun & Compa- ny’s “Weekly Review of Trade’ says: “Gains outnumber losses in reports of commercial and industrial activity, business being remarkably well main- tained considering the propinquity of political conventions, to which was attributed the dull security market. Unusually good duplicate. orders are. still received from retailers who un- deresfimated current requirements, wholesale and jobbing depart- ments are chiefly occupied in making ‘preparations for fall ‘and winter trade, about which there is a feeling of con- fidence. “Full returns for May indicate that building permits were only about 25 per cent less than in the same month in 1907, the' best comparison of any month this year, and anthracite coal production surpassed 6,060,000: tons for the first time on record. “All other news regarding the iron and steel industry is ‘of little sig- nificance this week in comparison with the lower prices for steel pro- ducts named by the leading interest. Thus far the better terms have brought no increase in volume of bus- iness, with consumers deferring opin: ions fn the hope that still more at- tractive. prices will be fixed. About a third of the bar requirements of agricultural implements makers have been filled at the lower prices named last week. “Quieter conditions exist at prim- ary markets of the leading textile in- dustries, indicating that the period of activity was partially .speculative, based on the knowledge that prices were below cost. Stocks of heavy {| brown goods increase notably on ac- count of the poor export trade. Con- ditions are not uniform in the woolen goods division, some lines being well sold ahead, while others are in poor demand. “Trade in footwear is better than at any previous time this year, burt New England manufacturers still find conditions unsatisfactory. The larg- er jobbers do not expect cheaper shoes. MARKETS. PITTSBURG.

INVALID'S SAD PLIGHT, After Inflammatory Rheumatism, Hair Came Out, Skin Peeled, and Bed Sores Developed — Only Cuticura Proved Successful. “About four years ago I had a very se- vere attack of inflammatory rheumatism. My skin peeled, and the high fever played havoc with my hair, which came out in bunches. I also had three large bed sores on my back. I did not gain very rapidly, and my appetite was very poor. 1 tried many ‘sure cures’ but they were of little help, and until I tried Cuticura Resolvent I had had no real relief. Then my com- plexion cleared.and soon I felt better. The bed sores went very soon after a few applic cations of Cuticura Ointment, and when I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment for my hair, it began to regain its former glossy appearance. Mrs.’ Lavina J.

While the transmission of plctures by wire has reached a high degree of perfection in the process of Prof. Korn, which depends upon the vary- ing electric resistance of the selenium cell under changing light, the send- ing of photographs and drawings by wireless telegraphy is in an incipient stage. In the method of H. Knudsen, the photograph has its dark parts brought into relief by dusting the usual negative with some powder, like iron filings, which adheres only to the dense portions. The transmit- ting apparatus consists essentially of a clockwork driven carriage, which moves a style backward and forward until it touches every part of the pic- ture once, and as the raised surface is met the style is pushed up slightly, thus closing the grip in a relay cir- cuit. The relay current causes an induction coil to transmit an electric wave. The receiver is a similar in- strument in which the style, normally raised, is depressed, whenever the electric wave acts upon the coherer, and thus closes a suitable circuit. Perfect synchorizing is ensured by causing the wave from the transmit- ter to start the carriage of the re- ceiver at the beginning of each new stroke.
