CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUM0R

Il think the Cuticura remedies arc
the best remedies for eczema have
ever heard of. My mother had child
who had a rash on its head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave us medicine. but It did
no good. In few days the head was
a solid mass, running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually We
had 20 hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle Of Cuticura Re
solvent, box of Cutlcura Ointment,
and bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap.
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
II has never come back again. His

CBy JOHN w. LLOYD,

There is considerable difference Of
opinion as to the exact stage of ma
turity at which melons should be
picked for shipment. IT allowed to
become too ripe before picking, they
becorae soft by the time they have
reached the market. and often must
be sacrificed in order to effect an i'm
mediate sale.
II picked too green, the melons
reach the market in firm condition,
but are lacking in favor, and are not
desired by the best trade. II is a
nice point to pick melons at such a
degree Of ripeness that they will
reach the market in firm condition.
and yet possess the requisite flavor
The farther from the market the
melons are produced, the less mature
they must be when picked. Further
more, the rapidity of softening after
picking varies with the temperature
to which the melons are subjected.
The cooler they can be kept after
picking. the longer then can be al
lowed to remain on the vines and the
better flavor they will have.
1t is, therefore, essential that the
melons be placed in the shade as
soon as possible after picking. and be
kept shaded until they are loaded into
the car.
For the same reason, ripper melons
can be shipped under refrigeration
than in ventilated cars. 1t is also
true that melons shipped during ex-
cessively hot weather, unless under
refrigeration. will soften more rapidly
than those shipped during cooler
weather
The condition of the vines and the
rapidity of ripening of the rl..,ons in
the field will also nave bearing upon
the stage of maturity at which they
should be picked
Early in the shipping season, when
the vines are in full vigor and the
melons ripening slowly. the fruits
may safely be left upon the vines UNI
til more mature than would be safe
later in the season when the plants
have become somewhat weakened, or.
by reason of excessive heat, the mel
ons are ripening very rapidly.
While 1t is true that no rule can
be given for picking melons that will
apply under all conditions, and that
the grower must exercise judgment in
reference to each days picking, the
ideal will be attained when the con-
ditions are such that the melons will
reach the market in the best condi-
ton if picked as soon as the fruit will
part readily from the stem when the
latter is pressed with the thumb or
finger.
There is a tendency among growers

TIMOTHY BEST
PAYING CROP
Weeds Cause Farmers to Become
Discouraged on Account of
Iniury-PIan for Cor
recting EVIL.
Thy THOMAS NJ. cIsEL3

Timothy is one Of the best paying
crops grown on the farm when the
fields can be kept free from weeds.
But the weeds are causing many farm
ers to quit the crop, as the meadows
become choked with weeds and usual
ly but one COR two crops are grown
before the sod is spoiled and must be
turned under and sown again.
The spelling of the meadows can
be prevented by using the mower
after the hay is harvested. The
meadows become choked with weeds
and usually but one or two crops are
grown before the sod is spoiled and
must be turned under and sown again.
The spelling of the meadows can
be prevented by using the mower
after the hay is harvested. The
meadow should be clipped as often
as the weeds start to make seed.
This should be kept up until the
frost comes If this is continued for
several years the weeds can be al
most entirely cleared from the sod.
Where Timothy comes a poor stand
or is thinned by dry weather or other
causes the stand can be much i'm
proved by the use of the harrow and
the sowing of more seed.
In September take a heavy tooth
harrow and give the sod a good har-
rowing.
When the perfect stand is obtained
then see that the weeds do not get
to make seed, which will kill out the
grass next year.
Meadows treated in this way do
not become thin and worthless but
WI improve for years.
Most farmers think the sowing of
the seed the important part In get
ting a good meadow 1t is yell to do
the seeding in good shape but more
often the stand is lost from some
other cause.
Grass fields can be much improved
with a covering of manure This

to pick considerably before this point
has been reached. in order to run no
risk of the melons becoming soft in
transit.
In fact, some growers make a prac-
tice Of picking the melons before q
crack appears about the stem or any
change of color takes place. even on
the under side o. ne fruit.
That proper grading results in the
securing of better prices than indis-

institution in both the army and the

with every repetition to assure the
country that the measure of safety Sc
cured by the enormous expenditure OF
the last twenty-five years is assur-
ing, and in all probability all that the
most saguine claim for it.
This time II was purely a naval
game. The army did not participate
except that the range and power or
gun fire from the coast Notifications
involved in the theater of war were
taken into account as factors, and
have had their weight In the theoret-
ical defense of the country. But the
active forces were wholly naval. and
all credit for what was accomplished
goes to that arm of the military estab-
lishment.
The IDEA of testing the training and
attachments of the army and navy by
problems and sham battles is one
that has for its primary purpose the
actual test of men and systems. but
beyond that the more important pur-
pose is to demonstrate more and more
