Sc. The sta &c agricultural

wagon greese. The state agricultural
school has brought change to the
farmers. They have learned the art
of making butter until there are
factories everywhere. The cranberry
men have not been forgotten. We
have seen the fruit of their labors
this summer. Those instruments
that are taking the vaporation-who
knows but that they may scare away
the frost. We can now raise twice as
many berries to the acre, thanks to
the agricultural school.
Ibid you ever stop to consider how
few years ago, when the fire swept
over this marsh, how women and
children had to jump into the bitches
to protect themselves, when the fire
died out and the curtain fell upon the
scene, the last act OF wild marshes was
over. The cranberry men went at it
and scalped and were careful about
planting their vines until today they
have made these lands blossom as the
rose. Changes have also gone on in
Grand Rapids. Not SO many years
ago the water stood on the streets and
the frogs croaked. Now you hear the
laughter of children. These changes
are largely due to the many railroads
that pass through the city.
"And now before we meet here again
at the next convention, we, the people
on this marsh, will see another line
Of smoke ascending into the sky and
we may look and wonder for a while
until the explanation comes through
the smell of lphite-then we may
know it is the new paper mill

weather. One of the difficulties
which is presented to every grower is
the possibility of partial or total
destruction of the crops. While cram
berries can grow in almost every
cline, they are more sensitive to frosts
than other small plants. 1t is true
that frozen berries have a better
flavor than the sound, but every
grower knows that frozen berries are
not marketable.
sit should be remembered that
there is no possibility of a frost until
the surrounding atmosphere has been
reduced to 80 degrees or lower. Plants
are cooled by radiation. Heat rays
from the plants do not effect the sur.
rounding atmosphere unless there is
some obstruction to meet the rays.
In the daytime the plants receive
more heat than they give out: at night
they give off more than they receive
and if the plants are at 81 degrees
frost will result.
''The greater the amount Of moist,
ure in the air, the greater is the heat
to the berry. There are three condi,
tions which tend to frost: ~ clear
sky. ~ dry atmosphere, ~ still night.
May 20 and September IL are the
general spring and fall freezing points.
"There is a necessity of a local
forecaster. The conditions of Ger.
tain locality must be known before
reliable predictions can be made.
Observations should be made by those
interested and the results sent to my
office at Milwaukee.
GA dry atmosphere is favorable to
frost but a dry soil is not. AS the
surface of the marsh is lower than
the surrounding country and the
cooler atmosphere follows the law OF
gravitation. it is necessary to locate
the marshes where it is possible to get
the least possible draughts of cold air

afflicted with skin diseases. At
tendants in lighthouses and bar
bers are examples that soap and
water are no protection. When
ever the skin becomes weakened
or impaired. then these parasites
are likely at any time to attack,
and if conditions are just wrong
they will thrive and some form
of skin disease will result. Al
most all forms of it will spread
by contact.

1t has been proven to us be-
yond the possibility of a doubt
that a new medicine quickly
clears up the worst skin affec-
tons. Its work seems astonish-
ing, amazing, almost miraculous.
Ut is a specific formula which,
because of its discovery by DR..
Decatur Dennis, is known as ID.
D. d. Its actual record sounds
like story of magic, But there
is no room for doubt about it
whatever; full proofs, indisput-
able in every respect, have been
submitted regarding hundreds of
cases-among them the two cases
illustrated in this announcement.
The one case shown here OF the
adult (Mr. Henry Walters, psor-
iasis of many years standing)
was cured in as days. The other
case of the boy { Sammy Minkey)
was cured in three weeks. The
results are not only complete. but
permanent; in the case of Mr..
Walters, which was one of the
earliest cured after the discovery
of this medicament, it is now
nearly three years since the dis
ease was cleared out of the skin,
and no faint Of it has appeared
since.
