BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED

"Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her. but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was a solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was so severe that
she could not rest, day or night. We
had about given up all hopes when we
read Of the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got cake of Cuticura Soap,
box of Cuticura Ointment and one bot
tie of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol-
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose Of the Cuticura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment Then
she began to improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came of her
head and new hair began to grow. In
a very short time she was we'll. She is
now sixteen years of age and a pic
ture of health. We used the Cuti-
cura Remedies about five weeks, reg
ularly, and then we could not tell she
had been affected by the disease. We
used no other treatments after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M.

Dairy Cow Most Economical Producer.
This is not the only distinct ad-
vantage the dairy cow has, for she is
furthermore recognized as the most
economical producer of food nutrients.
Extensive experiments carried on by
Messrs. Law and Gilberts show that
the cow giving daily ten quarts of
milk produces six times as much min
eral matter, six times as much nitro
genous material, and an amount of fat
equal to the steer that gains in live
weight Is pounds of beef per week. A
good dairy COW, too, will accomplish
this end by the consumption of cheap.
er foods than will the steer, for the
food of the dairy COW is made up
largely Of roughage, which is cheap
err kind of food, with a small amount
of concentrates, while the ration of
the steer is made up largely of con-
centrates, with a comparatively small
amount of roughage.

PROFITABLE DAIRYING
By HUGH G. VAN PELT
Dairy Expert Iowa State Dairy Association
What the Dairy Cow Has Been Doing

capable of raising larger crops from
year to year. while the other farm be-
came poorer, and in the course of time
was useful for very little except to
raise weeds. For this reason the west
ern farmer is an extensive feeder of
live stock, concentrating the product
which he sends to market and retains
upon his farm greater portion of
the fertilizing ingredients. All classes
of farm animals are useful for this
purpose, but the dairy COW is, without
doubt, the greatest retainer and build
err of soil fertility. This is proven by
the fact that ton of butter, which
is now valued at more than 5000, re-
moves from the farm less than SO
cents worth of fertilizing ingredients.
1t is true that by the proper system
of rotating crops, together with the
feeding of grains and grasses raised
on the farm to the dairy COW, selling
her product in the form of butter and
returning the by-products to the land,
the Iowa farm can be made to produce
more largely from year to year, and
The enterprise. [volume] (Harlem, Mont.) 1899-1926, 1910-06-08

In Iowa there are produced annually
almost 100000 bushels of corn. The
Iowa farmer realizes that if each
year this entire crop, together with
the other farm crops that are raised,
were to be shipped out of the state
entirely in their natural form there
would be removed such a large
amount of fertility annually that in
the course of very few years farm
lands would be SO depleted that it
would be almost impossible to raise
crops sufficiently large to pay for the
expense of raising them, and this is
true Of all states in the central west.
Profiting by the experience of the
farmers of the eastern part of the
United States. the western farmer has
learned that although his farms are
now rich and fertile and capable of
producing extremely large crops, still
there is a possibility of removing all
of the available fertility. The great
problem confronting all farmers of to-
day is how to feed the large and rapid
ly growing population. 1t is necessary
not only to continue producing as
large an amount of food upon the
farms of the west, but in the future
much more must be raised per acre
of ground farmed than has ever been
raised before if people are to have as
much to eat and wear as they have
had in the past. This is due to the
fact that the population Of the United
States is rapidly growing and new
farms of great yielding value are be-
coming very scarce. This point is ex-
emplified by the fact that last year
larger crops were raised than ever be-
fore, and with the exception of very
few years in history, prices rule high
er than ever before.
Intensified Farming.
All this points to one general fact,
namely, that the farms of the west
must be worked more intensely, and
perhaps instead of one or two crops
being raised, mere attention must be
given to diversified farming. 1t is
very necessary that the great fertility
now present in the soil must be re-
tanned at least, and if there is a pos
sible way of increasing the fertility
to this point. Rotation of crops is USE
full in holding fertility, but it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether this method
alone will suffice to keep the farms in
profit-producing condition; for the
fact is very evident that whenever a
bushel of corn, wheat, oats or potatoes
or a ton Of hay is taken away from
the farm, all the fertility which is con-
tanned in them goes along and is thus
transferred from the farm on which
the crop was raised to some other
farm or wasted.
There was time when farms in the
New England states were fertile and
productive and their owners boosted
of the fact that the soil was rich and
deep and could never be exhausted.
From year to year large crops were
raised. a large portion of which was
sent across the water to Europe, and
gradually the farms of Europe became
better and more productive, but this
was at the expense of the farms in the
New England states, for, as a matter

a fertilizer rich in potash; wood ashes
can be used to advantage at that time.
Cultivate around your trees with

White hellebore is a substitute for
paris green. It may be applied to the
bushes dry, mixed with three times

Cultivate cotton, peas and red clover
in your young orchard. This will bene-
fit the trees and at the same time give
you an income.
The texture of the orchard SOIL no
matter whether it be clay, sand or
humus, may be greatly changed by
correct cultivation.
Peanuts are good to plant in or
chards. They must be kept absolutely
free from weeds, therefore, you will
have clean orchard.
After trees are planted cover with
loose soil for mulch. When grow
ing apply stable manure worked into
soil, but do not let it touch the trees.
Don't make the mistake many per-
sons have by planting your pear trees
too close together. Twenty feet is close
enough for pears and peaches-thirty
feet for apples.

The western farmer is acquainted
with this fact and realizes that to con.

transfer the fertility from his farm to
that owned by some other man; the
observing have seen this fact demon
