A SNOW ROLLER.

section about five feet long, built about
a central axle. This roller may be
made Of two inch hard wood Of any
sort which is heavy and durable. A
roller composed Of two five-foot sec
tons is preferable, since roadway ten
feet wide is quite sufficient, and by
having the roller in sections it is more
manageable. Large, heavy land rollers
may be used for this purpose, but roll
ers especially designed for newly fall
en- snow may be constructed at COM
paratively small cost.
In sections where these rollers have
been used four, six or eight horses are
hitched, according to the depth of the
snowfall and the weight Of the roller.
Where deep drifts exist they will
sometimes have to be spread with the
shovel to allow horses to wade through.
Regular rolling is necessary where
snowfall is frequent, as the roadbed
must be kept thoroughly packed. This
continued rolling Of each successive
snowfall produces hard, compact
roadbed which is suitable for all kinds
of winter traffic.
In sections where these rollers have
been adopted by the road supervisor
the region is divided into districts, for
each of which q roller is provided.
After heavy snowfall the roller is
drawn over the road at once by the
person in charge, who is held respon-
sible for his particular section Of the
highway.
Altogether this is very economical
method Of road breaking, since the
cost is small. In one section of Maine
100 miles of country road were broken
at cost of $500. A well made roller
will not cost over $50. and during the
winter season teams and drivers are
ayaila BILE at moderate cost.

ROAD BREAKING IN WINTER

Value of n Snow Roller and dow to
Make One.
In sections where heavy snowfall
persists throughout the winter the
snow roller is one Of the most Geo.
nomical devices that can be used for
road breaking, says the American
Agriculturist. Great success has at
tended the use of this tool in Maine
and Vermont, where the problem of
keeping the roads passable during the
cold winter months Is particularly diff
fault Of solution.

TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cutlcura.

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by a very prominent ply
sician for an obstinate case of &C.
zema, l resorted to the Cuticura Rem
edies, and was so well pleased with
the almost instantaneous relief afford
ed that we discarded the physicians
prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura ONT
ment, and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely we'll,
and there has been no recurrence of
the trouble.
in July of this year a little boy
in our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were
a mass of t~orturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, washing
his hands and arms with the Cuticura
Soap, and amounting them with the
Cuticura Ointment, and then gave
him the Cuticura Resolvent. In
about three weeks his hands and
arms healed up. So we have lots of
cause for feeling grateful for the Gu
ticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do

WHAT WESTERN CANADA DOES.
Satisfactory Yields of Wheat and
Good Prices.

Dundurn, Sask, Sept. 80. 1906.
Mr.. W. H. Rogers. Canadian Govern
ment Agent,
Indianapolis, Ind.
My Dear Sir:
When you were at our place in July
l promised to write you what my
north quarter made per acre. You
will remember it was all sown to wheat.
Well, l finished threshing yesterday
and received from it an average of
43h bushels per acre-testing 64h
pounds per stroked bushel. The wheat
is the best sample l have ever raised
so uniform and even in size. You
may know it was a good sample when
/ tell you that | have already sold 1000
bushels of it for seed to my neighbors.
This year has been my best effort in
farming during my life. My wheat
totaled $3.50 bushels and my oats
nearly 5000.
If you remember l pointed out to
you a half section lying just west of
our house and joining my upper quar-
ter on the south, which | said | should
have in order to make one of the best
farms in western Canada. | am very
glad to be able to tell you that | now
own that half section. My ambition
now is to be able to market 10000
bushels of wheat next year. If some
of those good, honest Hoosiers could
have been with me during the last two
weeks and could have seen the golden
grain rushing down the spout into my
wagon and then could have seen it in
great piles in my granaries, | feel sure
they would have been forced to
acknowledge there is no better farm.
ing country in the world than this. |
may just say that | have done all my
farming with eight head of horses and
one hired mar except during harvest
and ~threshing. This year l proved to
my neighbor that the Hoosiers, when
once woke up" can raise grain equal
to the best Minnesota farmers. His
best yield was 42h bushels per acre
so you see ''old Indiana" is holding the
ribbon this year.
Yours very truly,
N. E. BAUMINK.

Starch were used. In order to get the

beauty and lneness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the

can be entirely overcome by using De-
