sold without delay. No question was ever
raised as to quality or weight.
Benson's Porous Plaster sells on its repu-
tation everywhere. All the buyer wants TO
be certain of is that the plaster offered him
really is Benson's, and not worthless imi-
tation of it or substitute for it.
A plaster is the best form of external rem
edy, and Benson's is the best plaster; 5000
physicians and druggists, and multitude
of people no man can number, have settled
that. You can trust it," they say.
Coughs, colds, lame back, lumbago, mus
cular stiffness and rheumatism, troubles of
the liver and kidneys, influenza or grip,
pneumonia, and all other diseases open to
external treatment, are at once relieved and
cured by Benson's Plaster.
Do not assume that Belladonna, Capsi-
cum or Strengthening plasters are ''just as
good as' Benson's. They are vastly in
ferior.-No other plaster is as good as
Benson's.
IN competition with the best-known
piasters of Europe and America, Benson's
have received ffty.JiUe highest aiodrds.

There are two ways of viewing this sub

may say, there is so much that / shall

and let the world go by us; or we may say,

and gather in to the storehouse of my
mind all the useful knowledge can legally

So many avenues of learning are open
to us all, we have only to keep our eyes
open and our ears alert to see and hear
much that will help us in LIES work. IL
we could learn that bits of real informa-
ton saved up make nucleus around
which other ideas may cluster, We should
realize that nothing is too small for us to
notice if it will help us or others.

Dear M. B. Friends:

Dear M. B. Friends:
1t ought to be source OF satisfaction to
us that no one person knows everything,
and If we could always remember, 1t we
should not feel so badly when sometimes
we expose our ignorance. There is an
element in human nature-call it pride, or
what you will-which causes one to hesi-
tate before acknowledging frankly, 81 do
not know" and those who think they
"know it alp are not in way to increase
the amount of information they have on
hand. No professor of languages in our
universities but can be taught something

Dear Aunt Mddge:
/ am glad TO find that am not the only woman
to take interest In the live stock, as witness
"Farmer's Wife,, and &C." in the last AMERI-
CAN, who says she will raise the next calf IN
stead of vealing 1t. / never paid any attention
to the "signs" in taking a calf from the COW,
but have raised good many and am generally
successful, so will give few ideas in addition
to those Of Farmers Wife, as l am the
"farmer" myself.
In teaching calf to feed, don't make hard
work of it; it does not need main strength, but
patience. Take very little milk In small
basin--pieced tin, not the kind with aturned out
edge. Stand on the right of the calf with basin
in right hand; hold the left hand over the calfs
head so as to steady it while you get the edge of
the basin in its mouth and a little of the milk
tipped into its mouth so as not to choke It, 1t is
best to hold up its head little If it does not do
that itself. If it pulls back, let il go; 1t will
taste the milk and come for more. Don't
brighten it; be gentle and do the same thing
over, and generally before half pint of milk is
swallowed the calf will follow the dish
The great trouble with sick calves is that the
milk is given too cold. A dairy thermometer is
a very cheap and convenient thing to have.
Heat the milk to about 100 degrees 1t is good
plan to set some of the first milk and take of
the cream and keep it cold to give the calf with
the skim milk after it Is good to save.
A good COW win make more butter than the
calf is worth at four weeks old. and you have

tion her as an illustration of one who
gathers up helpful, useful and practical
ideas. She will give us clear, concise notes
on authors or tell how to make butter and
feed calves. 1t seems to me she is type
of many others In this circle OF ours.

Over the field, when the day is fair,
The sower scatters the seed abroad,
Stays not to mark where it falls, his care
But to leave it with his God.
Who sendeth the rain and the SUMS bright ray
And a hundred.fold in the harvest days.
So kindly word and kindly deed.
If done and spoken in time of need,
By a true, pure heart to brother astray,
Lonely and fainting on life's highway,
At last in the harvest of years are found,
Where only kind deeds and kind words abound.

fusion in assigning places for guests. 1t

Now let me call your attention to the
great Importance of sending in full de-
partment reports. Will each local presi-

into the State report, and do not omit any
thing of the good work done.

hibition enforced. Sincerely yours, always
