General Demand cf the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a Bimple, pleasant end efficient liquid laxative remedy of knexvn value; a laxative which physicians coul2 sanction for family use because its component parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its ex cellent combination of Syrup of Fig3 and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds alonj ethical line3 and relies on the mcrit3 of the laxative for it3 remarkable success. That is cne of many reasons why Svrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given th preference by the "Well-informed.

STEAWEESEY SHORTCAKE. last Distinct. . ely American m DUb 7Pl. Travelers say you may mats the ound of the globe without encountercg a strawberry shortcake worth mentioning, outside of Amtrica. If you lon't believe the saying. Just make the iour and convince yourself. ' The French have a "shortcake" rponge cake with a few berries pressed nto the top. England has a sort of K&gy biscuit crust Interspersed with a ittle fruit, but In the United States rou get the real thing. Made of Michigan berries, and this recipe, there cau e none better: When making a strawberry shortrake use a very light biscuit dugh from some old and . tried recipe, roll ut Into two thin layers, brush one ver with a coating of melted butter, put the other layer on top of it and lake. A shortcake put together In this waj was found less heavy thai; when :he cake was split open while hot. The two layers are easily separated. There s also not so much hard crust as when the layers are baked separately. After removing from the oven separate the ayers and spread each with butter. Turn the top layer upside down and rever with sweetened berries that have leen standing in the sunshine for an our, or until they begin to look rich md Juicy. Then over them place the ther layer. Ornament the top with me same kind of sun cooked berries. Decorate the cake with whipped eream, or serve the cream In a separate dish. Send the cake to the table oot. Do not use whipped and flavored egg whites instead of the .cream, as so many cooks Insist on doing. If you tannot obtain cream use a sauce me-JT; from the Juice of a few berries that have stood almost long enough In the tunshlne to melt, jot the samo Juice nixed with butter and sugar until thick. If the latter sauce Is used do tot sweeten before putting them in the lunshine. A shortcake should not be lo sweet that It is insipid. Tasteless berries may occasionally be Improved with a few drops of lemon Juice. Avoid any and all of the insipid hot sauces that are sometimes used.

There is never an overproduction of choice fruit. A tester in the dairy Is a good thing. !;. tlm basis of rich milk is the feed box. Dairying gives profitable employment for the whole family every month In the year. Opportunity for dairying appears In the Increased demand for pure milk In th large cities. Stop worrying over the troubles of yesterday and get ready to overcome these of to-morrow. RoHtion of garden crops is the best method of keeping vegetables in health ind freedom from parasites. If pigs are given all the salt and charcoal they want there will seldom be any o-caion for ringing. It I possible for the breeding row to be too fat," but more farmers make the mistake of keeping them too poor. The Babcock test is all right, but some dairymen need something to test their ability to properly feed their cnlvej. It takes courage to adopt new methods of farming in an old fogy neighborhood, but success will soon change public sentiment. Because sheep will make a better use of a poor pasture than any other stock, do not try to raise them on one tlÄtf Is abacliitely bare. Because the hens are not allowed free range in the summer months Is no reason why they will not become Infested with life. Small chicks are great bug eaters. They will do a great deal of good in the garden until large enough to scratch vigorously. The growing of first-class, high-grade dairy heifers to sell to the best dairy men affords an opportunity for the grower to make a good profit. It Is so easy to neglect the fowls during the summer months that one must have a special Interest In order to keep them up to the mark. If we all stopped for a moment's sound thinking before starting out on a new enterprise it woiild save some of us the trouble of retracing our steps. If you are going to sell off the old fowls, pen them up In small ctps and stuff them for a week or two before you take them to market. It will pay. Sumuier-lald eggs can be kept for several weeks by dipping them In a water glass solution. This is a prepiratlon which Is supioscd to make the shell airtight. Good wool, ns well as good mutton, depends largely tipou the quality of the fotnl. Succulent food makes the best wool, cleanest, brightest, softest and stronspsr. . If alfalfa Is oown with a nurse croit, It bt-st not to sow too much grain, and If it is the intention to remove the crop before It matures, it is better to teed with oats. Some ff the finest appk-s and peaches In t'.ie world come from Idaho and Oregon. They are entirely free from worm Th growers art- extremely vigilant In fighting insects. A flock of lively chickens In an orchard will pick up thousands of insect, worms and the eggs that hatch them. Scatter grain occasionally to encourage scratching. Don't let the workday drag out to fourteen and sixteen hours. Ten hours of fiVId work is enough aud will accomplish as much in the long run ns a longer day. Try it and see. t'p in Minnesota, where they raise a great deal of barley, it is fed to the cattle with fairly good results, but there is nothing on earth that will put fat ot a steer's ribs like shelled corn tnd alfalfa. Use sifted coal ashes instead of plaster for striped squash bug. They are clnvp, easily handled and are not injurious to tender foliage, though applied in large quantity when the dew is upon It. Ihe boys may not say much when they are forced to work sixteen hours a day without n share In"' the profits, but they suddenly run off to the city. It shows they have been doing some strong thinking. The grape Is the only fruit that proteet against late pruning by "bleeding." Raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries and currants can be pruned after they ore la full leaf, or even In bloom, without apparent hurt. Maryland farmers are demanding a law requiring that all cases containing cold storage eggs be labeled such, and that restaurants, hotels, dining rooms, etc.. be required to hang signs on the walls, Iii order that the customer may know what he Is getting whether cold itorage eggs, fresh egs or Just eggs. There 13 always the opportunity t icll first-class dairy butter for fancy prices. Success in this lino of the dairy business must be brought ab:ut by studying and practicing the most Improved methods that are employed by the best creameries. The Vegetable Growers Association of Lawrence, Tenn., and other associations in that part of the State have contracted to dispose of tho cantcloupes grown on acres to one firm. This method of handling the crop has proved very satisfactory, 'both as to prices and In freight rates. A straw-covered shed open to the south makes an Ideal shelter for cattle In winter. More of these shtds are seen throughout Iowa than any

other State. Snow Is a ful thing as u covering

mighty for w n seas a wheat, but decidedly unprofitable fattening food for farm stock. The growing of a balanced ration ot food for the dairy affords the dairjman an opportunity to practice a rotation of crojw that will Improve and build up his fields for future crops instead of exhausting his fields. No one would think for a minute that he had a right to invade a bit of woodland upou' a farm and carry off firewood, and why should It be thought that the wild fruit growing In such a place is any the more public property! Anything growing upon a man's land Is his property, and should not le disturbed or taken without his 'express permission. How often does the henhouse nect cleaning? As often as it gets d!rty And by dirty we do not mean slinplj reeking with accumulations of drop pings and filthy scratchlngs. No, wi never saw a henhouse yet which could be kept clean short o ftwo cleanings i week. He faithful during the warm weather or the lice and mites will gel the upper hand. ImproTlng t'Attlc Grades. The man who buys a good breeding bull aud allows him to stand In hli community at a nominal fee Is a publ! benefactor and deserves the most en couragement of any man In the community. Not long ago I had the pleasurt of visiting a friend of mine who purchased a pure bred Guernsey bull, and while there he drove me around and showed me no less than 100 fine grad cows from his bull and asked me whal value I would estimate that his bull had been to that community. I promptly said, "One thousand dollars and thi bull is good for a number of years at the present time." I. M. Kelly. Breeding Sheep. The poorest class of sheep on th market to-day is the ill-cared-for lot raised In the agricultural states, snys II. A. Chandler in the Breeders' Gazette. These breeders, as a rule, use good rams, but they fall far short of giving the flock proper attention. The whole bunch Is put In a pasture In the spring and allowed to remain there uutil winter, while with a few hours' work a patch of rape.could have bien planted or the fence repaired so they could have had a change of pasture. Sheep need a little attention, the same as any other stock or business. When they are well cared for they cap the climax for profits. Farmers in the Middle West should breed more restered sheep of the mutton breeds. 1'he rangemen: come East for their ram, and we should be producing fifty head where one Is raised now. Kill Off the Itooaters. Raising roosters doesn't pay. The pullets are what we are after, and we should bend our efforts to raise as many and as fine pullets ns we possibly can. In most all Hocks there are ab-rut 50 per cent of young cockerels flying and scrapping about and eating thell heads off. Now, a pullet won't do tills, for sl$ will pay It all back, with a goodly profit ns soon as she reaches the laying age. But the roosters eat and grow and grow lanky and muscular and stringy, and when they arrive at 8 months of age they represent very little, If Indeed any more at all. than tiioy did at S weeks in the way of profit. Besides, some die before maturity and ere thereby a total loss, although they passed the frying size In safety. The proper thing to do now Is to apply tho thinnlng-out process and get rid of ull the roosters, young and old, but a very few of the finest. Give Tigs St rone Bads-. The pig should be taught to rustle and develop stamina and trait of character and also to make the best of his opportunities. By this it Is not meant to starve him, but make him healthy and vigorous. The hlghly-condition 1, pampered pets ihat we see at the shows are fine things to look at, but tltey would be little practical utility to the average pork grower who does not fLid it profitable to stuff his animals on high-priced concentrated rations, lo most Instances the prize winners at six months of age are physical wrecks when yearlings. Of course there if a great temptation for us to show great, big, overgrown and highly-fitted pigs at six months of age. We don't wnt some other breeder to scoop all thd prize money, and there Is alway$ a demand for that kind cf highly-pum-percd pigs. But the sooner we wake up to the fact that the grass-grcwu pigs are the ones that make the lyet breeders the sooner will we be on tilt right track to success. WhllHelree Injury to Trees. The writer has Just returned from trip of Inspection of a young orchard, says W. Paddock, In a Colorado bull tin. The call was urgent, bit the prla cipal source of trouble proved to be toj much whiaetree. A careless hired lean hud succeeded in barking a numbct of trees In a ten-acre apple orchard, und then in many instances pear blight bad gained entrance. The Injuries were thuj extended. Some of the trees were drud, but In a majority of Instances thj blight had died out, and the trees wer making heroic efforts to heal the wounds. But a wound which extendi half way around a trunk is slow In healing, and there Is danger of the trunk breaking at that point during windstorms. The loss of a S-yearolJ tree la considerable, so the owner was advised to bridge graft over thi wounds. This can be easily and qiilckly dune by fitting dons over tho wo.md One end of the cion is slipped iu.Joi the healthy bark on the lower edgi o! the wound aud the other end under the bark nt the upper edge. Two or tiiree cions will usually bo enough for small trees. Both edges of theVound where the cions are Inserted shorld be veil protected with grafting wax, and if the wound is small tho entire surac should be covered. This work is done In the sprliig of the year at the time ordinary grafting is done. The coins mayunltealong their entire length when the wounds are fresh, bul more often they do not C so, consequently the tree appears to have several trunks as It gets older. Such trees live as long and are as strong as though do Injury had ever overtaken them.

Is Sir William Crookes a mere alarmist? He declares that unless science comes to Its aid the world will be depopulated In the twenty-first century. It Is no devastating plague that threatens to carrv off millions: no vague, inscrutable terror which Is ex ported tö cast a spell of death over continents, but so commonplace a contingency as starvation that may have to Ie faced a hundred or two hundred j ears hence. S;i William Crookes, physicist and chemist, is eminent authority. It may seem to some persons "like an echo of Malthus to sap to the world, "Ixok out: you will yet starve to death," but the reasons underlying the warnings of modem scientists arc based upon facts h!ch could not have been known to the sociologist who propounded his theory more than a hundred years ago. Overpopulation plays a lesser part In the new theory than the reckless waste of nitrogen in thi soil by careless agrl cilturists, and the rapid consumption of the earth's supply of nitrates. It would be most disastrous for the world to find itself without nitrates. Gradually, but surely, the. race would die of lack of food. The drying up of nations and peoples would not lack diamntlc features. Cities would become deserted ; skyscrapers fall In ruins, and the end of man would follow. The basis for these reflections Is very simple. The nitrates are salts essential to the diet of wheat, and wheat Is the chief food of most mankind. Now the element In a nitrate which is essential for the growth of the green plant Is nitrogen. Although the plant, !ik; ourselves, lives in an atmosphere which is four-fifths nitrogen, It cannot assimilate this nitrogen from the air. Both plants and animals, by the process of breathing, can utilize the oxygen which forms part of tho atmosphere-. With each inhalation is, of course, included nitrogen, but this element Is thrown off by the lungs. The only way in which the higher plants and animals can avail themselves of n'trogen Is in the form of Its compounds. Tho plant needs comparatively little of the compounds of nitrogen for Its sustenance. About one five-hundredth its own weight in one of the simpler coinjtoumls, nitrates or ammonia, will feed It, enabling it to grow and build up those elaborate compounds which animals in their turn feed upon. Thus the world's stock of nitrogen compounds goes round in endless cycles, the plant taking tlie simplest forms and elaborating them, the animal bringing these complex forms back to the st: rting point. All the time, however, the great stork it free nitrogen In the air stands outside the cycle. rol Mill Abundant. There Is still plenty of ready-made nitrates In the world.-the borpicst of past ages. There re beds of nitrate of soda in Chile, guano on various tropical inlands and sulphate of aui-n-onla. recovered when coal is transformed into gas or-coke. The present sources of combined nitrogen, however, uro so plainly limited that Sir William Ciookis thought It advisable to sound a warning. Sir William Batisay has raid that It Is doubtful if the deposits In the Andes will last beyond 11)50, and the guano deposits in the Southern seas are suffering rapid depletion. It is very well known by agriculturists that beneficial effects accrue to the land from the growth of clover. Certain bacteria which dwell on the root of the clover plant are able to sei?e upon free nitrogen and bring It Into combination. Progressive fanners, however, do not feel that they cau depend uiKm the fertilizing effects of a clover crop, and those who make a suc-rt-ss of farming are they who knowhow properly to value more active nitrate. The wheat crop of the world in 10O4 amounted to 3.10iini,()00 bushels, of which the United States and Kussla furnished more than one-third. Europe has not for many years been able to raise all tho wheat needed for her Dwn consumption, and the deficit has been made good, principally by tho United States and India, which raise xore grain than they reasonably can ase. The time is rapidly approaching niien the failure of the wheat crop In fither Ilussln, the United States or India would have serious results, not only locally, but to the world generally. Russia, Itoumania and Bulgaria pre the only European countries which rr.isi wheat enough lo export. But their surplus would scarcely equal the 3mand of the United Kingdom nlone. To keep the wheat supply at least aormnl i.s the work which science will be expected to perform. Within tho next half century It will be necessary considerably to augment what at present constitutes a normal crop, unless a leaf is taken out of the book of the East, and rice becomes a substitute for wheat. What science must do, then, Is to provide a supply of artificial nitrates. Is science equal to the demand?? The best answer to this question Is to give au Idea of what science is doing In what might be called commercial chemistry. By means of catalytic proccssec, gigantic chemical works In va

from lack or food rious parts of the world are manufacturing many products used In the arts and sciences which formerly were only produced In laloratory experiments. 3Iannfac(nre ltrn(es. Thus we see chlorinated substances especially chloroform made from chlorine obtained by passing hot hydrochloric acid .ever broken brick, impregnated with copper chloride. The latter is not exhausted by the process and may be irV-d over and over again The hydrochloric acid Is a by-producc from r process of manufacturing soda, so that it will Ik? evident that the process Is not expensive, even If chloroform Is. Sulphuric acid, one of th moj-t generally used substances In the urts". Is obtained with equal simplicity and cheapness. Indigo Is now artificially produced from coal tar in such enormous qiiantities that it Is actually imported ivto India, the home of the natural Indigo, and moreover the artificial dyestuff is not only cheaper, but purer than the other. If the artificial production of these substances has become so extensive a business that trade has been revolu t'oni.ed, there Is room for expectation tint the manufaciuier of nitrates will proceed on the same hncs, and not onlj may science assure a constant and suf ficient supply, but give the agriculturist a better nltraf at a lower price. Several method? of utilizing the fret nitrogen of the air are belüg followed with more- or lev'-s success. By out method the substance calcium carbldi familiar in acetylene bicycle and automobile lamps forms a kind of Intermediary. This substance is made bj directing a powerful electric current upon a mixture of chalk and coal. II at the moment of Its formation nitrogen gas is allowed to play upon th mixture. It is swept Into the combination. Calcium cyanamide, the resultant body, gives off ammonia In. contact with wiiter, and can be applied to the land as(a manure. . In Norway works are being estarb lislud to produce in large quantities nitrate of calcium for direct use as ma m;re. This nitrate of calcium may b brought to the market In one of three forms-first, in a fused state. In which it contains 13.5 percent of nitrogen ; second, in crystals, and, third, as a basic salt, which forms a dry powder which does not become moist on exposure tc the air. Simple rrurfoi l'ropoaed. Sir William Crookes has proposed a simple process for producing nitric acid. It consists merely in using the electric current to make nitrogen and oxygen in the air burn together until they roach the state of nltrh? acid. A crude nitrate of soda is about being put on the market by one of the com: paries that draw power for generating electricity from Niagara Falls. This nitrate of soda is made by drawing nitrogen from the air, and it is promised that the farmer will bo able tc buy the product for about one-half wiiat his fertilizers now cost him. If the stock of available readymade nitrates Is rapidly being exhausted, the fact remains that the materials from which they may be constructed may bo found in abundance. Essentially n nitrate Is a derivative of nitric acid, the constituents of which are hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen, three of the most abundant elements in tho world. M. Lanos, another Frenchman, who 's not a scientist but an Imaginative painter, offers poor humanity a more (heorfui prospect for the morrow. He Iris pictured the farm of the future ns au Immense crystal palace, wherein crops arc raised with the speed of the East Indian mango tree from a ina-sU-ian's basket. Here electricity will be the factor, furnishing actinic rays more effective than those the earth's atmo.-phere appears to receive from the urn, and lending a temperature equ.il to that of the tropics. Wheat and corn In this district of marvels will grew luxuriously iudeiendent of changes of weather, drought, flood and destructive winds. Certainly M. Lanos' chimera is a delightful om anil more agreeable to the Imagination than Professor Berthelot's promised them leal triumph. TAKING A FLY CENSUS. Sticky Paper In ranted In AU I'art of Washington. Uncle Sam has started to take a fly census, says n Washington dispatch to the Kansas City Star. All the pesky little buzzers and germ spreaders are to Ik? enumerated by scientific bands of agricultural department entomologists Inspired by lofty notions of disease prevention. So far the census has been Inaugurated only in tho national capital. It may extend to other cities. Dr. O. E. Howard, chief entomologlsl of the department, Is in charge of the fly-paper corps. The census Is being taken with regular sticky flypaper. For some time the Insect experts have been making experiments to determine tho relationship between the common houso fly and typhoid fever. Ir. Howard appreciated early In tho game that it would bo necessary to catch files In tha act of spreading diseases, so the consul Idea was originated. The doctor laid In a supply of flypaper and has been posting sheets In public places, such as meat stalls in markets, In stores and In dairies. Every forty-eight hours the sheets arc collected and the flics counted. Being able, ns they are, to ascertain how long tho flics have been dead, It Is easy for the scientists to determine tho ieriods when the flies have been most prolific In the various localities In which the census was taken. This Dr. Howard calls "season abundance." " N The abundance of Jl"s In certain localities forms tho basis of comparison with statistics furnished by the health department on the prevalence of typhoid fever In those localities. The ex perts hope soon to have data showing J the responsibility of tho bouse fly fo; this dreaded summer disease. Phtloaopli jr Candidate of Ideals Wouldn't yot rather be right than president?

At the end of the third S'J,173; at the cud of the fourth, 84,720, at the end of the fifth, 83,571; at th end of the sUth, 82,i2G, and at the end of the first year, 77,528. The neif four years reduces the number tc 2,4 18, which shows that 37,5T2 die be fore the completion of the fifth year. At the end of twenty-five years 49,993 remain; at fifty-two yenrs, 33,334, at fifty -eight and one-half years, 25,000, at 8ixly-seven years, 20,000; at seventysix years, 10,000; at eighty-one years. 5,000; while between that age and 10C all but ten die. From statistics of insurance com panics, It would appear that if a boy lives until he is 10 years of age, he may reasonably eiiect to live fifty years longer. At 15 he may expect to live 4G.6 years; at 20, 43 years; at 25, 39.5 years; at 30, 35.8 years at 35, 32.2 years; at 40, 28.5 years; at 45, 21.S years; at 50, 21.2 years; nt 55, 17.8 years; at CO, 14.5 years; at 05, 11.0 years; at 70, 9 years; at 75, C.3 years; at SO, 4.8 years; at 85, 3.4 years; at 90, 2.2 years. Girls of 10 may expect to live fortyeight years. From this time until they are 40 their expectations are a little less than those of a man. Frona 40 to 53 a woman has a little better chance than a man, and at 53 both may expect to lire 19.15 years. Then her chances diminish more rapidly than a man's until at 90 she may expect to live only 1.S5 years lontrer. . FRIENDLY TIP. Restored Hope and Confidence. After several yenrs of Indigestion and Its attendant evil influence on the mind, ItJs not very surprising that one finally loses faith in things generally. A N. Y. woman writes an Interesting letter. She saya: "Three years ago I suffered from an attack of peritonitis which left me In a most miserable condition. For over two years I suffered from nervousness, weak heart, shortness of hreath, cou'd Dot sleep, etc. "My appetite was ravenous but I felt starved all the time. I had plenty of food but it did not nourish me because of intestinal indigestion. Medical treatment did not seem to help, I got discouraged, stopped medicine and did not care much whether I lived or died. "Oiie day a friend asked me why I didn't try Grape-Nuts, stop drinking coffee and use Postum. I had lost faith iu everything, but to please my friends I begau to use Iwth and soon became very foud of them. "It wasn't long before I got some strength, felt a decided change in my system, hope sprang up In my heart and slowly but surely I got better. I could sleep very well, the constant craving for food ceased and I have better health now than before the attack of peritonitis. "My husband and I are still using Grape-Nuts and Postum." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read, "The Road to Wellvllle," In pkgs. Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest.

AND A WOMAN'S WORK LYDIA E. P1NKHAM Nature and a woman's work com bined have produced the grandest remedy for womans ills that tno world has ever known. In the rood old-fashioned days of our grandmothers they relied utwn the roots and herbs oi the held to cure disease and mitigate suffering. The Indiana on our Western Plains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that baffle the most skilled physicians who have spent years in the study of drugs. From the roots and herbs of tho field Lydia R Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their peculiar ills, more potent and efficacious than any combination of drugs. Lvdia R Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as tho standard remedy for woman's ills. Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 N.C St, Louisiana, Mo., writes : Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my troubles public "For twelve years I had been suffering with the worst forms of female ills. Durimr that time I had eleven different rhvsicians without help. No tongue can tell what I suffered, and at times I could hardly walk. About two years ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for aance. I followed it, and can truly say that tfydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Coma if n! i1 . J ( pouna ana jurs. t iun.aa.iu a aunw if stored health and strength." It is worth mountains of goid to suffering women." What Lvdia R Pinkham's Vege table Compound did for Mrs. Muff, it will do for other guttering women. W.
