MISSIONARY WIFE
PRAISES CUT|CURA
Daughters Head Encrusted with
DandruA-Feared she Would Lose
her Hair Many Treatments were
Futile i Baby had Milk-Crust,
BOTH CHILDREN CURED
BY FAMOUS REMEDIES

For several years my husband was
missionary in the Southwest, and we
were living on the edge Of the desert at
an elevation of nearly five thousand
feet. Every one in that high and dry
atmosphere has more or less trouble
with dandruf and my. daughters scalp
became so encrusted with il that / was
alarmed for fear she would lose all her
mar, which was very heavy. After
spending between FIVE and six dollars
Tor various remedies, in desperation I
bought cake Of Cuticura Soap and q
box OF Cuticura Ointment. After rub
bling the Cuticura Ointment thoroughly
into the roots Of the hair, gently
combed the crust of dandruff free from
the scalp. and then gave her head
Soap. This left the scalp beautifully
clean and free from dandruff, and after
the hair was dry, i again rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment, this time sparingly,
into the roots. and am happy to say
that the Cuticura Remedies were
complete success. My troubles with
dandruf were over, although for long
time afterward used the Cuticura
Ointment as at first, after shampooing,
which kept the scalp and roots of the
hair moist. i have used successfully
the Cuticura Remedies for so-called
'milk-crust' on baby's head, and have
never found anything to equal them.
You are at liberty to publish this letter,
for do sincerely believe that the Cuti-
cura Remedies are a blessing to man.

SMYRNA FIGS ARE
GROWING HERE
tFrom Wednesdays Advertiser,

tfrom Neunesuay AuVeruSer.)
A number of Smyrna fig trees have
found their way into Honolulu during
the past decade, and while they grew
thriftily, and bore fruit, none of it
remained on the tree long enough to
attain an edible stage. The cause for
this was made clear during the pres
ent summer in the entomologist g
monthly reports, viz, the lack in many
cases of the male trees (capris), and
where these were present, the insect
agent for the transportation of the
pollen from these to the receptive
smyrnas was absent.
In a recent report the entomologist
announced that the introduction of this
insect, the fig wasp, had advanced so
far that a colony was breeding in the
capri or male fruit at Moanalua. Yes
terday Mr.. Kotinsky escorted Mr..
Ehrhorn TO Moanalua and was elated
to discover that some of the Smyrna
figs there We're caprified (fertilized)
and big, luscious fruit was to be found
on all the trees in the vicinity of the
capris-the first smyrna figs produced
on these islands. Many of the capri
figs have also set, thus betraying the
presence of the wasp within them. The
insect promises TO stay here and the
development of the industry hencefortl
will depend solely upon the number OF
trees planted Climate and soil are en-
couraging, and the initial outlay is in
considerable.

SWEDISH SELECT OATS.

4 few weeks ago there appeared In
these columns paragraph giving some
description of new variety Of oats
known as the Regenerated Swedish
Select. recently introduced by an Eng
fish seed firm and for which strong
claims are being made, and that by
farmers who have grown them In
some of the northern states. With Il
view to securing Il somewhat more
authoritative and perhaps more disin-
terested opinion touching the variety
mentioned, inquiry was made of Pro
fessor NJ. l.. Bowman, in charge Of the
farm crops section of the Iowa ex-
pertinent station at Ames, who wrote
that the experience with the Swedish
past year was not all that could be
desired. though he was not sure that
the unsatisfactory results were not In
part due to the fact that the season was
unfavorable for oats Of any variety. In
view of this rather unfavorable report,
the writer would repeat here In SUBJ
stance a suggestion which has been
given by letter to several inquirers-
that those wishing to try the new oats
would do well to make the test on a
small scale, with a bushel or so Of
seed, with a view of learning their
ndaptabillty to weather and soil condi-
tons which may prevail in ones own
locality. If they should not pan out, the
experiment would cost but little, while
II they seemed to possess exceptional
merit enough seed would be raised
so that they could be sown on n larger
scale the following year. There is no
question that many farmers would
realize larger financial return II they
raised n type Of oats which were more
vigorous and prolific, but 1t does not
seem to be fully determined as yet that
the Swedish Select In its present stage
of naturalization Is best suited for the
accomplishment of this end.

Having seen references In these notes
and elsewhere to the work of the Au-
dubon societies, a North Carolina read
err writes desiring further information
about the societies organization, OBJ

Briefly speaking it may be said that
each state has or may have an Au-
dubon society with as many branch or
local naturalist societies as are desired.
Then there Is the National Association
Of Audubon Societies, with headquar-
tiers at 141 Broadway, New York city,
the president Of the organization being

to agriculture and forestry; to urge
the passage of legislative measures
which will bring about these ends"

AS Seen by the Maine Farmer.

In the excellant write up of the an
nual meeting of the Maine Poultry
mems association, our States model
Farm Paper, the Maine Farmer says:
The exhibition of Barred Rocks was
magnificent one, and every lover
of this good breed will rejoice to learn
of their evident supremacy in the
Maine field in point Of general popu-
larity. For the last two years the
largest number of premiums on this
breed have gone to Ashmont Farm,
Alfred, and Pittsfleld Farm, Pittsfield,
who have wed closely with each other
for supremacy. Last year the Manley
cup, which went to the exhibit win
ming the most points on this breed,
was taken by the Ashmont Farm by
mere fraction of a point, and this
year the two exhibits are evenly di-
vided for this honor. The dis5apoint-
ment that comes to the manager Cf
Pittsfield Farm at not being able to
get over the dividing line is largely
offset this year by the fact that his
cockerel won the medal of the Ameri-
can Poultry Association as being the
best cockerel in the show, an honor
which is much coveted by al breed
ers. Not only the exhibits of these
two farms but the whole string of
Plymouth Rocks were birds which
would make any fancier's heart glad,
and it is pity that there are not
prizes enough for everyone. Much
credit is due every exhibitor, not only
those who win larg plumbers OF pre-
miuns but those who have to select
from smaller focks and thus stand
fewer chances of getting remarkable
birds. The fact that some of these
exhibits won no ribbons does not
prove that they were not OF superior
quality. for they Were.

THE SLAUGHTER OF THE ROBINS

There Is not a northern state but has
laws for the protection of useful birds.
chief among which is the robin, for
which n remarkably strong attachment
has been formed AS one of springs first
harbingers and as the best bird friend
Of the farmer, orchardist and gardener.
Until lately the redbreast has met an
entirely different reception during bis
winter sojourn in the south, where he
has been priced chiefly as a tender
morsel for stew or pie and where
myriads OF the pretty fellows have
been killed annually. Northern readers
will be interested In learning that In
central Tennessee are large tracts or
cedar. the berries of which are highly
priced by the robins as winter food
One small town in this district has
sent TO market annually 10000 birds,
which netted $500. or paltry pittance
Of ) cents per dozen. They are caught
Mt night In their roosting places in the
young cedars, whittier their inhuman
butchers proceed with torches and
KNOCK lDCUl uOWN VIII cIuD VI CllllD
the trees and kill them as they fly in.
An officer of the Louisiana Audubon
society is authority for the statement
that previous to last winter, when a
law was passed for the protection OF
the robins, the annual slaughter OF this
bird In that state ranged from n quar-
ter of a million to a million. In other
states and sections Of the south score
of 300 robins n day for u single pot
hunter has not been an uncommon
thing. IL view of data of the above
character it would seem that Secretary
Wilson Of the department of agricul-
ture might bring to the attention Of
congress most emphatically the practi-
cal necessity of protecting the robin as
an Interstate bird, and this from the
dollars and cents standpoint and not
from the aesthetic or humanitarian.
Every robin that Is killed means loss
in money to the farmer and gardener.
and this fact should be given more
general recognition.
