The correct treatment of sore

bath before going to bed, and
then wipe yourself dry. This

Omega Oil into the pores, keep

OUT ON THE Farm
Il Heatthfui, Happy Life Of
Hard LU0rk.
(Prize.)


M Y favorite occupation is farm
Nl ing. It is an outdoor life, and
although hard work, it is pleasant.
I like the work and like to be
around the stock. There is, be-
sides, great deal of science in
farming. The rotation of crops and
the kind of soil each will grow best
in, have a great deal to do with the
success of farming. Also it is a
healthy life. Farmers are healthier
and stronger, as rule, than people
who have lived in the city all their
lives. Country life has its draw
backs as other lives have. There
may be a drought, or it may be too
wet; but think the advantages are
greater than the disadvantages.
