during the three years in which the
Wilson tariff act (free wool) was
operative. This rise in price should
nave stimulated wool production
greatly, but 1t has done so only mod
erately, and the domestic output OF
wool still falls short OF what 1t was

ures. The product Of the current year

relief may be obtained by using nasal

oil heals. which may prove effective In
some cases, but a weed remedy" has
pIONtu uiOic cnttlife. a Ddu case OF
catarrh has been cured by smoking
mullen leaves. The smoke must be
forced through the nostrils, and has
tendency to heal and dry those pass
ages leading TO the lungs. Mullen is
plant that grows wild In many
States, and resembles the tobacco leaf
In eoler, shape and growth.
The best of salve can be made from
the mullen blossoms. IL the blossoms
are gathered and put into bottle
and hung in the sun they will in time
become oil. which is very healing.
They may be fried In fresh butter and
the liquid strained into boxes ready for
use when cold.
May butter Is best to use for
salves,' said an elderly lady. No doubt
some Of the readers may think, as
thought at hrst. that this Is supersti-
tious, but after much thought will
agree with her. In May pastures are
