their business is ruined until they can

They have placed their grievances

Farm Facts

Fall pigs may pay some feeders, blu
they require special care and urging TO
get them TO amount to anything.
To get the most out of clover hay
it must be sweet smelling, free from
dirt, and 1t must have the bulk of the
leaves left on.
If you have a big clover hay harvest
start cutting early, otherwise o will
have a lot Of over-ripe, woody stuff, not
fit for anything except bedding.
One should be careful when turning
stocks on rape for the first few days.
Better have the animals fill themselves
up on some old hay or straw, before go
ing into the rape field.
Don't be afraid to bear down on the
curry-comb and brush. Vigorous
grooming will do more to keep the
work team In condition than an extra
allowance Of grain or hay.
Fence rows unmowed are an abom-
nation to any farm. Clean them up
before the weeds go TO seed: n while
you lave the mower out run up and
down the roadway a few times.
Persistent spraying during July and
August, using the bordeaux mixture. is
the best preventative of blight in pota-
toes. Keep the disease In check early
and you will not have much trouble.
Here is one OF the worst leaks on
many farms-allowing the rain to car

1ous Cure by Cuticura
when my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we II once called In the doctor.
We then went to another doctor, but
he could not help him, and in our de-
spair we went to a third one. Matters
became so bad that he had regular
holes In his cheeks, large enough to put
n finger into. The food had to be CIV

covered with crusts as thick as a fin.
ger, and whenever Ire opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup.
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands.
arms, chest and back, In short the
whole body, was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid In his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face, and make
an open sore. | think his face must
have itehed most f@arfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
help, and l had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-

cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
