This clever woman has not a wrinkle
upon her face; she has discovered a
marvellous, simple method which
brought wonderful change in her face
in single night. For removing wrinkles
and developing the bust her method is
truly wonderfully rapid.
She made herself the woman she is
today and brought about the wonder
full change in her appearance in a Sc
cret and pleasant manner. Her COM
plexion is as clear and fair as that of
a child. She turned her scrawny fig
ure into a beautiful bust and welI-de-
veloped form. She had thin, scrawny
eyelashes and eyebrows. which could
scarcely be seen, and she made them
long. thick and beautiful by her own
methods.
You can imagine her Joy when, by her
own simple discovery, she removed
every wrinkle from her face and de-
veloped her thin neck and form to beau
tiful proportions.
Nothing is taken into the stomach, no
mask or common massage, no harmful
plasterS, no rollers, no worthless creams.
By her new process she removes
wrinkles and develops the whole figure
plump and fat.
1t is simply astonishing the hundreds
Of women who write in regarding the

the plants that die probably return as
much nitrogen as the plants remove
from the soil, for alfalfa depends only
partly upon the soil for its supply Of
this element. Many of the plants die
and rot, thereby adding organic mat
ter to the soil and helping to render
more soluble the universal constituents
of the soil. The stubble of alfalfa
merely to a depth of 61a inches weighs
nearly 6 tons per acre and in value as
fertilizer at the present prices is more
than $500.
Plants in an Acre.
The number of plants in an acre
of alfalfa has been found 20 range
from 10000 to $4,000; also that the
hay cut from a field with 10000 plants
was as fine and desirable as that cut
from one having $4,000 plants. Con-
sidering the benefits to be derived by
the soil the heavier stand is to be pre-
ferred for more roots penetrate the soil
to a greater depth and their aggregate
weight is more.
Alfalfa Seed.
The terminating power of immature
seed is high, but it is probable that
more vigorous plant is secured from
plump, mature seed. The highest grade
of alfalfa seed grown in Colorado is of
d greenish yellow color which is re-
tanned for years with but little change.
In one season, first duality seed, ran
2SS,267 seeds to the pound, and samples
of screenings, 1884 and 266. 233 to the

bushels per acre, though yields of nine
to Il bushels have been obtained. From

DR.. A. S. Alexander, Of Wisconsin
Agricultural college, has issued cir
cular telling how colts may be saved
from dying from navel and joint dis
eases and arrangement of the bowels.
When foals are born in dirty stables,
germs may cause pus to form in the
navel stump, or produce secondary alb
scesses in the joints of the extremities.
If necessary to tie the navel, use a
clean string which has been soaked in
one to 500 solution of corrosive subli-
mate. Then wash the stump with a So
luton of two drains of powdered cor
rosive sublimate in one one pint Of
boiling water, using the solution cold
and twice daily until healed. Carbon
