The second factor making for the
new prosperity may be termed "the dis
covery OF flax" For years there had
been a few scattering fax fields, but
it was only In the middle '9O's that the
Northwestern pioneer awoke to the dis
covery that linseed oil was Of more
truly golden hue, not only than the
wheat field, but than any gold-bear-
ing quartz California ever saw. Ana
so the endless golden yellow of the
fields in August and the tinkling bells
in September or the fax field.
Those who have never heard the
ringing of the fax bells have missed a
truly wonderful sensation. The round
seed pods, smaller than peas, which
contain the seed, give a faint metallic
sound which as one drives or walks
through field, setting thousands IN
motion, seems like myriads of infnitesi-
NAL bells tinkling SO family as to be
all but inaudible. Nor Is the mere
sight of fax field in the mellow Au-
gust soon to be forgotten. Imagine a
100-acre field, filed with flowers of a
blue more delicate than vlolets And
of its profitable character one ilustra-
tion will suffice. In June, 1900, ole
Jannsen bought 160 acres in the heart
of the great fax belt for $40 an acre
on the crop payment plan. Ole "broke
up" that fall and the next spring l3o
acres and planted it in fax. In round
numbers, he thrashed in the fall eigh-
teen and one-half bushels to the acre
sold 1t for $780, a bushel. total,
$3,500; a little more than twice enough
to pay for his land out Of his first crop.
Not only was the fax immensely prot-
table itself, but 1t removed from the
country the stigma, "one-crop country" ="

Profitable Cattle Feeding.

The Missouri Experiment Station at
Columbia has Issued a very elaborate
and handsomely illustrated bulletin on
the most successful methods of fatten-
Ing cattle, by Dean H. J. Waters.
This bulletin summarizes the expe-
rience and conclusions of about 1000
Of the most experienced and successful
cattle feeders Of Missouri, Illinois and
Iowa, and contains also summary of
the results of large number of tests
with different kinds of feed, different
ages of cattle, ETC., conducted by the
Experiment Station of Columbia.
1t considers such practical questions
as the most profitable age to fatten cat
tie, the proper weight, the best season
of the year, the best method of pre-
pairing feed, the best Of shelter, the
market demands, the best sort of
roughness, etc. 1t is illustrated with
cuts of the different types of beef
cattle, including excellent Illustrations
of the fat steer herd exhibited by the
college this season at the Interstate
Fair, Kansas City, the Missouri State
Fair, Sedalia, the American Royal,
Kansas City, and the international

bee spaces alike. In the third place,
one would have to bore hole in order

To Keep DOmestics.

Pay good wages and always be punct
ual in paying.
Be liberal in the matter of food, re-
membering that good work cannot be
done on an empty stomach.
Never nag. When reproof is needed
give 1t with firmness and without fear,
but kindly.
Give praise whenever 1t Is due. 1t
Is well to acknowledge good work and
thus encourage good service.
Never allow yourself to get familiar
nor in any way become involved in the
family affairs Of the domestics.
When things go wrong take time to
investigate before reprovIng, and never
scold or rebuke when angry.

No preparation will make hair grow

curls and dampening them so that they
will dry into shape. This lotion may be

arabic, one-half ounce of good moist
sugar, three-quarters of pint of pure
hot water, two fluid ounces Of alcohol,
six grains Of blchloride Of mercury, six
grains of salammoniac. The last two

This Is too strong a solution to be
applied repeatedly, as it would surely
have destructive effect on the hair
follicles. Therefore, 1t should not be
too frequently applied and not at too
short intervals. Occasional use, how.
ever, is practically harmless.

Treatment for Sprains.

The best treatment for spraln is
rest. At the time of the accident apply
hot cloths to reduce the swelling and
pain. If the skin is not broken apply
thirty drops of arnica in a wineglass-

dages, If tie skin is broken reduce
the amount of arnica to five or ten
drops, If any redness or Inflammation
occurs in consequence of using the To-
ton discontinue its use.
