I was a child, if I did
not feel well, Or if I had a cold,
my mother gave mo Black-
Draught," nays Mra. Orpha
Hill, of WofFord, Ky. "When I
was married, it became a fami-
ly medicine in my own home,
aa it was in my mother's.
"I take it for headache and
especially for constipation.
When I get bilious, my skin
gets yellow and I have a very
bad taste in my mouth, and a
drowsy feeling all during the
day. My eyes burn and I get
dizzy, or my head is 'swim-
ming.' When I take Black-
Draught, it seems to drive the
impurities out of my system
and I feel fine. I am seldom
without this reliable remedy."

Needs for Controlling
Pocket Gophers.
The pocket gopher, or ho called
salamander, does untold damage
on farms of East Texas, it thrives
in saudy and light soils and is
especially destructi ve to potatoes
and truck crops, its presence is a
constant menace to terraces,Jus
breaks frequently follow lines of
gopher burrows. *
The pocket gopher works and
feeds underground almost exclu
sively. It digs long tunnels
about two or three iucbes in di-
ameter at depth of 4 to 15 inches
below the surface. The laterals
are used in disposing the loose
soil and are seldom more than
12 inches in horizontal distance.
The laterals are dug to the right
or to the left, indiscriminately, so
that a string of mouuds will of
ten be arranged in more or less
ziir zu*r manner. A si'igle gopher
may throw up 100 or more
mounds in the course of a single
season, thus in a badly infested
field or pasture there may be
1500 to 2500 or more mounds
per acre during a year ou badly
in fee Cud farms.
The pocket gopher tunnels in
search of food. In pastures it

t hough the most serious damage
to grass may be by smothering
of stand under the many mounds
The damage to truck crops, espe
ciail.v *weet potatoes, peanuts
etc is direct loss in yields The
presence of gophers in your or
chard or pecan plantation is cer
tain to result in loss of trees by
pruning roots.
Pocket gophers can be read it v

ic is necMSHtiry to I mite the run
ways t'or the setting of traps or
placing the poison bait. In or
der to tiring the*e practices be
fore the peoyle <>fCa*s county, in
an effective way, a series of field
demonstrations are being plann
ed by County Agent. Littlepage,
for March IQto 20th. at which
time Mr A E Oman of the U S
Biological survey will bp present
to cooperate in demonstrating
methods Trapping is simple
and effective, according to Mr.
Oman, hut in case* where large
areas are to. tie freed the poisou
method is quicker, and is cheap
also efiective. It, is possible ac-
cording to Mr. Oman, to treat
25 to 40 or more acres of badly
infested land per dav by one man
by the poison method Just how
to locate runwavs and place poi
son or traps will he demonstrat
ed at the Held meetings. Sweet
potato bait will tin prenared for
distribution at cost, if desired by
the farmers. Community coop
eration is necessary for success.

I Specialist at Douglassville
The Douglassville Home Dem-
onstration Club was gracious
hostess to a number of club wo-
men from Unity, Union Chapel,
Atlanta, Naples and Cusseta on
| last Thursday Feb. 12 The
rainv weather could notstop the
spirit of determination of the for-
ty six women who assembled in
the Douglassville Community
House to take part in observing
the demonstration on landscape
gardening given by Miss Iuez
Derryberry, Extension Land
scaping Specialist from College
Station. Texas.
i
Miss Derryberry stressed thej
fact that every woman could j
beautify her home grounds thus 1
making them more livable. She]
gave a number of illustrations |
showing how these improvements!
could he uiede without expense, j
In order to improve our yards |
it is necessary for one to first j
make a carelul rtudy of the homej
surroundings and to plan care-
fully,before making any plant !
ings. If the Home Demonstra j
tiou Club women is to make a
success of her work she must ed-
ucate herself by:
Observing demonstrations.
Consult Cou ity Agent.
Read and study magazines
Study government bulletins |
that may be had for the asking
bv writing the United States ^
Dept. of Agriculture. These but |
letins are as follows:
Transplanting trees and
shrubs. No. 1591; Pruning, No. J
181; Propagation of trees and
Roses. No 157
After getting the plans clearly
in mind, begin filling in to make
yard level. Usewnlks and fences
where needed, Having the lawn
level and the walks made the
next step is to sod with grass.
There is no substitute for grass.
The trees shoijld be planted to
the side and back of house unless
the house faces west and needs
the trees for protection. Set the
trees in groups and not in rows:
Shrubs are used as foiindation
plantings, to soften the lines' of
the house, to screen upsightiy
view^i. A variety of shrubs
should be used as private, lagus-
trum, nandena, arbelia, Evony-
nous, wild myrtle, crepe - myrtle,
lilac, Japonica, dogwood, red
bud, holly, cedar and others.
The flower beds should be
made 4 to 6 feet wide and dug 6
to 8 iucbes deep. Make the beds
of well decayed barnyard manure
and leaf mold, The taller grow-
ing shrubs should be placed in.
the back ground 2 to 3 feet a
part, the flowering plants as
bulbs, violets and summer flow-
ers shonld be planted in the beds
in frout of the shrubbery in
groups and curves i
The roses should be planted in
rows in a section to one side of
the lawn. If the roses are in rows
they can be plowed thus saving
hand lubor. Pruue roses back
to within 8 or 10 inches of the
ground. It is tbecurrentgrowth
that makes the blossom. Flow-
ering shrubbery should be prun-
ed severely just after blooming
season, Prune honey suckles in
the fall
The demonstration was con-
cluded at the home of Mrs. Dollie
Snipes, Yard Demonstrator for
the Douglassville Club. Each
woman was convinced that Miss
Derry berry was correct when she
said, "When a womeu sets her
head she can do most anything,"
therefore, they h ivu contended
that they will have an attractive
home ground The plan of work
for home ground heautilication
in Cass county was to extend
over a period of several years in
order that outstanding perma-
nent results might be accomplish-
ed. Every home ground made
attractive iu Cass county, is the
goal.
Better Breakfasts
ABETTER breakfast doos not
necessarily mean more bulk,
but it does mean a combination
of foods that go well together
and enough of them to keep you
feeling peppy all through a big
morning's work. For winter
weather, with cold to resist, first
a fruit, then a cereal, ham and
eggs, toast and coffee are none
too much. That is a well known
dietitian's latest suggestion. She
says oatmeal should be the cereal
and here is the fruit combination
she thinks would go beat with the
rest:
Compote of Figs and Prima;
Turn the contents of an 8-ounce
can of flgs and of an 8-ounce can
of prunes and one-third cup of
water Into a saucepan and simmer
gently for about fifteen minutes.
Servo cold. This will make suffi-
cient compote for live persons.
For Good Coffee
Here's another hint from th®
same source in regard to the cof-
fee. Use one of the kinds that
come in vacuum packed cans.
The reason for this is so simple
that it's rather a wonder that any-
one still buys coffee packed in any
other way. As soon as coffee
comes in contact with oxygen Its
flavor and aroma begin to escape
very fast. K has been proved by
scientific tests that from 65% to
70% of the coffee gas and an ap-
preciable part of the aromatic oils
disappear within the first twenty-
four hours. So why not buy your
coffee in a container which is ab-
solutely Imperviou* to all climatic
influences and can't get stale?*
