A Great Discovery
Certain Ingredients That Really Grow
Hair When Properly Combined.

Rescorin is one of the most effective
germ destroyers ever discovered BY
science, and in connection with Beta
Napthol, which is both germicidal
and antiseptic, a combination is
formed which destroys the germs
which rob the hair of its natrual
nourishment, and also creates a
clean, healthy condition of the scalp
which prevents the development of
new germs.
Pilocarpin. although not a coloring
matter or dye. is a well known in
gredient for restoring the hair to its
natural color, when the loss of hair
has been caused by a disease of the
scalp.
These ingredients in proper combi-
nation, with alcohol added as a slim
ulant and for its well defined nour-
ishing properties, perfect the most
effective remedy that is known for
scalp and hair troubles.
We have a remedy which is chiefly
composed of these ingredients, in
combination with other extremely in
valuable medicinal agents. We guar
antee it to positively cure dandruff
and to grow hair; even though the
scalp in spots is bare of hair. If there
is any vitality left in the roots, it
will positively cure badness. If the
scalp has glazed shiny appearance
it's an indication that badness is
permanent, but in every other in
stance, badness is durable.
We want everyone troubled with
scalp disease or loss of hair to try

"A silo was built three years ago
and it has proved a good investment
every year since. Ten low-produc-
ing COWS have been sold and better
ones bought; some good cnes have
also been raised.
LAS much depends on care and
feed as upon wedding ont the poor
cows. During winter months cows
should be kept in a warm, well light
ed and well ventilated barn. The
last two are essential to good health.
The best way to ventilate a barn is
by the King system. The COW must
be comfortable and contented. The

Dairyman Makes Fine Progress
Income Raised From $50 $3.50 Per Cow and Profit From 600
~ an S84 Per Cow Following College Advice.

makes butter good enough to COM
mand 50 cents in winter and so
cents in summer from private GUS
toners in Freeport. And here is his
story in brief:
Il have been testing my herd and
keeping a record of each COW for
more than five years. Before | be-
gan testing averaging about $50
per COW per year for butterfat at the
creamery; | was not making any
profit. The first year the II cows
averaged $500 pounds of milk con-
tanning 224 pounds of fat.
One Cow EquaIed Five Others.
One of the surprises was the great
difference between COW No. 6 and
COW No. /. Both were considered
excellent producers and both receiv-
No. 6 produced $50 pounds of fat
and the other 176 pounds. The one
returned So for every dollars worth
of feed consumed. and the other,
$1.40. No. made five times as
much profit as the other.
Another cow that | had consider
ed a low producer, gave 5,970
pounds of milk containing 272
pounds of fat and returned $2.25
for every dollar worth of food con-
sumed.
This instance shows how unable
we are to distinguish the poor COW
from the good one without using the
scales and the Babcock test.
AT the close of the first years
test, l sold three poorest cows,
changed from a summer dairy to an
all year dairy, began to read the
best dairy paper and dairy bulletins,
began to study how to feed a balanc-
ed ration, and consulted the uni
versity dairy department and re-
100 Pounds More Fat Per Cow.
The second years test showed an
increase of Sc pounds of fat; the
third year, an increase of AZ pounds
the fourth year, II pounds. The
fourth year herd averaged S.62S
pounds of milk containing 324
pounds of fat-a total increase CT
2,S00 pounds of milk and 100
pounds of fat over the first years
test. This was an increase of $23
on the net profits per COW Counting
the butterfat alone at % cents pei
pound, but much more counting the
actual sale price of the butter and the
value of the skim milk, which is
saved for the pigs)
THE increase in production is due
| to feeding balanced ration, as vel
| as to wedding out the poor cows ant
| heading the herd with a pure-bret
sire.
Last year one of the best COW!
| died; a new COW and heifer fel
| below the average; COW that ha.
| been MIXED too long before fresh
ening gave 169 pounds less fat, ant
an old cow that did not freshen drop
ped 60 pounds in fat. Because o
these things the average was reduced

Pioneer Suffers Broken Leg.

Leadville, Colo.-Joseph A. Lamping.
county treasurer of Lake county and
one of the pioneers of the district,
while preparing to attend the '79ers
banquet Thursday night, fell and broke
his right leg at the knee. He is over
sixty years of age Several years ago
through an accident he was compelled
to have his right foot amputated and
since then he has walked on crutches.
1t seems that a clump of ice gathered
at the bottom of his crutches and when
he entered the kitchen of his home
they slipped and threw him heavily to
the floor.
