Dr. Hartman's Plain Talk to Young Men

rPlf
I ft
My plain talk to young man tn my
f.st article certainly brotight out
many responses from young men. I
take this means of answering them
briefly, for the benefit of other young
men who did not write me. One
Writer says: 1
"I was greatly Interested In your
talk to young men. I wish I was
■trong and well as you describe your-
self to be. I am going to begin at
once and follow your advice and take
care of myself as I ought to. I will
quit the use of all stimulants, tea and
coffee, go to bed early. I will ta':e
the cold water towel bath every morn-
ing. I want to live to be old and
useful, like you. And I shall also
keep Peruna at hand, in case of slight
ailments as they may arise. T thank
you In the name of thousands of oth>
er young men, like myself."
To this letter I replied:
My Dear Boy:—I cannot tell you
how much good your letter has done
me. To know that I am arousing
the young men in matters of right
living fills me with gratitude and en-
thusiasm. I want to help you. Write
me any time you wish and I will con-
sider your letter strictly confidential
and give you prompt reply. Follow
the advice I gave in my article. When-
ever you have occasion to consult me
further do not hesitate. Let us be
friends. If you will bo obedient to
me as a son ought to be I will be
faithful and true to you as a father
ought to be. Yours sincerely, S. B.

BOY PAID FOR HIS WHISTLE
Obeyed Father's Instructions All
Right, but Made No Sort cf a
Hit With the Teacher.
It all happened in a wayside village.
Bhe was the village schoolmistress,
prim and proper, but a bad hand at
settling accounts with the local trades-
men; he was ten years of age, one of
her pupils, and son and heir of the
Tillage grocer.
"Tommy," she yelled in class one
morning, "don't you know it's rude to
whistle in the presence of a lady?"
Tommy was not abashed nor chas-
tened.
"Hut da.l told me to whistle," he re-
plied.
"Your father told you to whistle,
Tommy?" queried the school teacher,
In considerable doubt.
"Yes'm. He said when he sells you
anything we've got to whistle for our
money."
Tommy then took up a conspicuous
position in the adjacent corner.

Calumet Guarantees Baking Economy.
Have you ever stopped to think just
what "economy" In baking really means?
8ome folks seem to have the Idea that
■avtng a little on the cost of the mate-
rials—the tlour. egj?s. etc.—Is economy.
Others are of the opinion that they have
been economical when they buy the low-
priced baking powder, and save 10c to 25c.
But both are wrong. For the real econ- ,
omy—the economy that counts—consists in
doing away with the failures that so
often waste far more than is saved In
buying low-priced materials.
And that beyond a doubt Is the reason
that Calumet Baking Powder Is the favor-
ite of millions of cooks. It absolutely
prevents failures—and guarantees suc-
cess—which in the end is the same thing
as economy.
Calumet Is unfailing—It makes every
baking good—more tasty, more delicious,
more evenly raised—simply because it is
not only pure and wholesome Itself—but
so uniform In quality that you can always
depend upon It. Two World's Pure Food I
Expositions—one at Chicago In 1907. and I
the other at Paris, France, In 1912— have
officially pronounced Calumet the best
baking powder made.

The modern practice among the best
posted and most progressive horse owners
and farmers is to clip all horses in the
spring. It is done on the theory that in
their natural state horses were not obliged
to work, so could shed the winter coat in
comfort over a period of several weeks.
Since we oblige them to do hard work on
warm spring days, the winter coat should
removed for the same reason that we
Lay off our heavy winter garments. Clipped
horses dry off rapidly, hence they do not
take cold as easily nor are they as prone
to be affected with other ailments as un-
dipped animals whose longer hair holds
the perspiration for hours. Because clipped !
horses dry off rapidly they rest better, get
more good from their food at d come out
in the morning refreshed and fit for work.
Since the advent of the ball bearing en-
closed gear clipping machine, the work of
taking off the winter coat is easy. With I
the machine a horse can be clipped all over |
in half an hour, whereas with the old two- j
hand clipper it required several hours to
do it.
Dairymen also now clip the cows all
over two or three times a year. The flanks
and udders are clipped every three or four
weeks, so It is easy to clcan the parts be-
fore milking. This means less opportunity
for dirt and other impurities to get into
the milk.
Record Breaker.
"I hope you like your work, my lad,"
said the benignant elderly person to
an errand boy a3 they waited to cross
a street. "Men who take pride in
their work are the men who suc-
ceed."
"Oh, I'm a record-breaker, the man-
ager says."
"That's the way for a boy to talk.
Tell me how you do better than other
boys."
"I take longer to carry a message
than any of them."
And some men are too lazy to In-
dulge in guesswork.

Fowls Should Not Be Allowed to Eat
Grain a* Fast a* They Can Con-
sume It, But Rather Made to
Scratch for It.
(By M. M. CHANDLER.)
As much depends upon the condi-
tion of the hens themselves aa any-
thing else, if you are expecting the
winter eggs. You should have seen to
it that your hens were not running
wild during the late fall, getting too
much corn about the fields or hog
pens, or that they are not starving
when you think they are picking up a
good living for themselves after the
grain has all been put away for the
winter.
For many years I kept only a small
flock of hens and paid little attention
to them except during the winter. 1
got, of course, very few eggs and
found that it I wished this much
sought winter supply I must look clos-
er to business.
I tried shutting my hens in a large
park during the month of November
and feeding them cooked vegetables,
milk, a little of everything in the
shape of grain, instead of letting them
run to the corn houses; that is, ail
but those I wished to market, and
those I confined in a large coop with
a floor in it, so they could not do too
much scratching, ar.d fed them more
grain and less milk, plenty of clean
water and usually two weeks would
find them in good condition for the
market.
This, I find, pays better than al-
lowing the hens you wish to keep over
remain with those who are going to
Bell, since the feeding methods differ.
A hen should not be fat when the
cold weather sets in any more than
she should be starved. She should be
fed according to the egg-producing
method, and with me that method is
regular meals, plenty of variety in
food and a good chance to scratch for
her living.
I never allow a hen to eat grain as
fast as she can pick it up, but make,
her hunt for it in a good pile of litter.
Soft food for breakfast, fed at six
o'clock, milk and a little wheat or rye
for dinner, and supper at four o'clock
of corn, two quarts to forty hens.
This may seem a small ration, but
where three meals are given you will
find that it is enough and if more is
allowed them there will be fewer eggs.
Some think it better to feed all
small grain and no corn, but in the
cool weather I find that corn satisfies
the fowls much better and it should
be fed as hot as they can stand It
Never expect real success with win-
ter egg-raising without a good bone
mill. A bone mill can be had for $5
and will pay for itself in six months.
Iione meal should be a part of every
breakfast in the hen roost and the
oyster shells and skimmilk are quite
as essential.
Meat 1b good, but never throw the
carcass of a dead animal into the
chicken house unless you want to
create disease germs and impure eggs.
Keep the carcass frozen out of doors
and cut from it a small ration of meat
at a time, and see that it is all eaten
fresh.
Never expect winter eggs in a dark,
damp, chilly coop. Have plenty of
windows and fresh air. There is
nothing better than fresh air and
sunshine. Keep the house clean.
Every morning while the flock are at
their breakfast take a shovel and
scrape up the droppings under the
perches. Take care that they do not
use the nests as roosting places, and
always change the straw in the nests
and get fresh straw or, better still,
clover hay scatterings for litter at
leaBt as often as once a week.
Bowels Get Weak
As Age Advances
EXCELLENT FEED-PEN GATE
The First Necessity is to
Keep the Bowels Gently
Open With a Mild
Laxative Tonic
Healthy old age is so absolutely de
pendent upon the condition of ihe
bowels that great care should be taken
to see that they act regularly. The fact
is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive
and the liver does not store up the
Juices that are necessary to frompt
digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eat-
ing easily digested foods and by
plenty of exercise, but this latter is
irksome to most elderly people. One
thing is certain, that a state of con-
stipation should always be avoided as
it is dangerous to life and health. The
best plan Is to take a mild laxative
as often as is deemed necessary. But
with equal certainty it is suggested
that cathartics, purgatives, physics,
aalts and pills be avoided, as they do
but temporary good and are so harsh
as to be a shock to a delicate system.
A much better plan, and one that
thousands of elderly people are follow-
ing, is to take a gentle laxative-tonic
like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
which acts aa nearly like nature  s is
possible. In fact, the tendency of this
remedy is to atrengtben the stomach
and bowel muscles and so train them
to act naturally again, when medicines
of all kinds can usually be dispensed
with. Thl3 is the opinion of many
people of different ages, among them
Mr. O. P. Miller, Baroda, Mich , who
writes: "I am 80 years old and hare
been constipated for many years. Since
receiving your aample bottle I have
procured two 60c bottles and find that
* C 2 -A

t.?:

it is the best remedy I ever used and
does just what you claim for it to the
very letter I can not recommend it
too highly."
A bottle can be bought of any drug-
gist at fifty cents or one dollar. Peo-
ple usually buy the fifty cent size first,
and then, having convinced themselves
of its merits th*y buy the dollar size,
which is more economical. Results are
always guaranteed or money will be
refunded. Any elderly person can fol-
low these suggestions with safety and
the assurance of good results.
If no member of your family has
ever used Syrup Pepsin and you would
like to make a personal trial of it be-
fore buying it in the regular way of a
druggist, send your address—a postal
will do—to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 203
Washington St., Monticello, 111., and a
free sample bottle will be mailed you.
Swinging Device Keeps Older Hogs
From Entering While Little Fel-
lows Are Being Fed.
In feeding the little pigs with older
hogs, it is necessary to have some sort
of a separate feding pen for the pigs.
The older ones can be kept out and
the pigs prevented from entering the
pen while the troughs are being filled
by means of a swinging gate.
This gate swings outward only. It
Is held up while the lit(le pigs enter
issrae I
Useful Gate.
the feeding pen, and being light, they
can push it forward and go out at
will.
It may be used to advantage In fat-
tening hogs tbftt run with the stock
hogs. After putting out the feed the
feeder raises the gate and lets in
those to fatten, then lets It fall; all
others are kept out, yet those in the
pen may go out when through eating.
This style of gate Is also convenient
for the lamb lot where one uses a
creep. The gate should be just targe
enough to admit a good-sized lamb.
Locate the Fault. (
If your hens are not doing to stilt
you look over the situation carefully
and find out where the trouble is.
You may be sure the fault is yours,
not theirs.
MEANS OF EMPTYING BARREL
Idea Illustrated Herewith Will Bs
Found Not Only Easy, but Quite
8ure and Safe.
Many rurallsts now buy gasoline
and lamp oil by the barrel, and to
empty same Is no small job. The
idea herewith illustrated will be found
not only easy, but sure and safe. The
barrel to be emptied Is left in the
wagon, or placed on a bench, so the
lower end is Just above the barrel or
other vessel In which you wish to
store the oil. A piece of three-quarter
inch hose of sufficient length to reach
from the bottom of the barrel to be
emptied and across to the storage
tank is secured and used as shown,
says the Iowa Homestead. C shows
the barrel of oil, D Is the storage tank
or barrel, and A Is a stout cord some
two feet longer than the hose, B. The
cord has a weight such as a small tap
fastened to one end, and a bunch of
Emptying a Barrel.
rags at the other end. Insert the cord
in the hose, and allow the tap to pull
it through, until the ragB enter the
end of the hose. Place the 'hose in
the barrel, C, with the rags down, pull
the cord and rags through the hose,
and quickly Insert the end In the tank
or barrel D and the hose will empty
the oil in a shirt time. The rags
force out the air and the air pressure
forces the oil in to fill the vacuum.
The idea is a simple siphon, and tha
novelty Is the manner of starting
same by pulling the rags through the
hose. A plece'of soft rubber formed
into a tight-fitting disk answers the
purpose some better than the r-^gs.
However, old rags are always at hand,
and the rubber Is not.

8HE WASNT 8KEPTICAU
SOIL OF LEGUMINOUS CROPS
Nitrogen Is Obtained Through Nodules
or Tubercles Full With Myriads
of Bactsria.
It is but a few years since the agri-
cultural world was Informed that
leguminous crops obtained their nitro-
gen through the medium of nodules
or tubercles; yet the average cultivat-
or Is quite unaware of the fact It
m y be as well, therefore, to state
the fact again, and to say that it is
easily capable of proof.
If two lots of, say red cloverseed
are taken and an equal quantity of
each Is placed in two pots with all
the necessary plant food except nitro-
gen, the seeds will germinate and
grow much about the same, and that
is very little indeed. If now we add
to one part some of the nodules or
tubercles to be found adhering like
pin heads to the roots of a red clover
crop, we shall soon see the difference
in the rapidly increased growth of the
plants in the pot* in question.
Now each of the nodules or tubercles
in question is cram full with myriads
of bacteria, and these bacteria It is
which by obtaining nitrogen from the
air pass it on to the clover, roots,
etc., and give to the latter and to the
clover plants that nitrogen without
which they could not live. Thus a
soil of leguminous crop requiring nit-
rogen can be infected with the nitro-
gen bacterium, and Inoculation here,
as in other departments of human af-
fairs, is found of utility to man.
BAD MANAGEMENT IN FEEDS
Erroneous Practice of Withholding
Grain From Horses When Green
Stuff Comes In.
There Is not uncommonly woeful bad
mangement In feeding heivy horses;
others, too, for that matter. It is too
much the practice at the seaBon when
green stuff comes in to withhold a
large portion of the grain.
Of course, the idle horse will put on
flesh of a sort much faster on green
Btuff than If fed on hay In the stable,
but the condition becomes of so soft a
nature as to be little suited where
dally tell 1s required, or hard flesh
and muscles are absolutely essential
there.
Later on in the Bummer, when herb-
age matures and holds no excess of
sap, the case is rather different, but
even then to withhold the grain to
any great extent is bad policy, and is
sure to tell against the horse sooner
or later—sooner in the way of per-
spiring and weakened state, and later
In but a poor state against winter.
