Trouble, worry and i'll health brought me
deep lines and wrinkles. I realized that
they not only greatly maTred my appear

that they would greatly interfere with M
success, because a woman's success, either
socially or financially depends very large

man with deep lines and burrows in her
face must fight an unequal battle with
her younger and better looking sister.
therefore bought various brands of
cold cream and skin foods and massaged
my face with most constant regularity.

and, 10 and behold, my wrinkles were

Raise Corn For sIlnae.

All dairymen recognize the value
Of corn ensilage as a cheap food for
milk production. 1t is but seldom
on looking over the roughage of any
large dairy barn, that corn stover is
seen. The silo has taken the place
of the corn stalk loft.
An experiment conducted recently
at the Pennsylvania experiment sta
tion showed that in meat production
steers fed corn silage as part of their
ration made better gains than those
fed corn stover. The stover fed
steers ate more grain than those fed
silage, but the cost of the feed, how
ever, was less, to the credit of sto-
yer ration. But whether corn is in
silo or on the loft 1t is a mighty
good food, when rightly used, and
none too much is raised by New Eng
land farmers.-F. p. H., in the

Handling Hard Land.

There might be several classes of
land which we could find in this Sec
ton. The first would be land which
is adaptable to hoed crops; which
is free enough from stones or sur
plus moisture SO that II can be used
An a regular rotation of three or four
fears, land suitable for growing po-
tatoes or corn. Then there is a lot
OF New England land that is too
damp and has too many stones Just
below the surface to allow 1t to be
plowed conveniently. That land we
must handle in a somewhat different
way. Probably as good a method
of handling this land as any is one
that I have seen followed in New
York. topdressing with light coat
of barnyard manure, about eight or
ten spreader loads per acre, every
year. and at the same time using a
small quantity of clover seed ard

done in several instances with
marked success. There is another
kind of land which is too rough to
be handled in either of these ways,
or perhaps too steep. but land which
is admirably suited to the growing

The walk is the foundation of all
the other gaits. and without begin

AS soon as the tops of the onions

Good hickory ashes are said to be
