several counties near the Maine Dor

the caterpilars have for several years

necessary to use steam pipes to free
the rails. The eaterpillars strip the
leaves from trees wherever the pest
appears but crops are not molested.

A POPULAR ERROR
THAT RHEUIMAT TSM is DUE
TO COLD, WET WEATHER.
The Trouble Is Rooted in the Blood
and Must BE Fought There, Mot
on the Surface.

Many people believe that the twinges
and tortures of rheumatism are due
to cold, damp, or Wet weather, and
treat themselves by rubbing with lini4
ments This is a serious mistake, and
one which allows the disease to progress
to such an extent that it is often diff
cult to get it out of the system. Rheu-
matlsm is disease of the blood and
can be cured only by driving the rheu-
matte poison out of the blood. There
is no medicine that VIII do this so speed
lily and surely az DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. They actually make the new,
rich, red blood, which drives out the
poison, builds up the system, and
makes the sufferer we'll and strong.
Miss Mary L. Stanley, whose address
is r. f. ID. No, !, Batavia, \. y, tried
various treatments for muscular rheu-
matism bat without relief until she
took DR. Williams Pink Pills She says:
II suffered from inhammatory rheu-
matism for over a year and when it
first came on paid but little attention
to it, as | thought the occasional numb
feeling was due to my knitting 80 mitch.
In the winter took cold and the pains
became rapidly worse They we're en-
tirely in my arms and shoulders and
were so bad at night that | could neither
sleep nor rest. Whenever | tried TO
raise my arm it hurt SO that | could not
move it far from my body and my hand
would tremhle as though had palsy.
My fingers were so swollen and stiff at
the joints that | could not close them
Our doctor treated me for about four
weeks, with poultices and blisters over
the shoulders, but | felt no relief and
gave him up for DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Very soon felt better and after taking
few boxes was entirely cured. Since
that time have never had the slightest
return OF the rheumatism. "
DR. Williams Pink Pills are also very
highly recommended for anemia, alter
effects Of the grip, stomach trouble and
all general rundown conditions because
OF their power to make new, rich blood

Good Advice About Eczm ca.

Eczema is so common and so many
people suffer from it in one form or
another that in medical circles the ad-
vice is sometimes jokingly given to
call every doubtful skin eruption &C.
zema. This is really not bad advice,
for if the eczema treatment fails, then
the disease is plainly something else.
A good plan, whenever there is an
eruption, is to apply Cadum. II there
is itching, Cadum will stop it, and the
sore places will heal In other forms
Of skin diseases. such as redness. PIN
pies. blotches. rash. roughness. scaly
skin, chafings, acne sores. ulcers. erup-
tons. hives, letter, itch, herpes pseri-
asis, ringwornI. itching plies, etc. Ca

dcial. BY all means try this renarka-

Seed Improvement Work.

The report has the following to say
of seed improvement work: "Realiz-
ing tile importance of some Systematic
plan for improving the farm crops of
Maine, the Legislature of 1909 made a
small appropriation for work in this
line under the supervision of the de-
partment of agriculture. As result
The Maine Seed Improvement Associa-
ton was organized Jan. p, 1910, at a
meeting attended by "A large number
of enthusiastic farmers coming from
nearly every section OF the state. The
work thus started is one of the most
important lines of work that the state
has ever undertaken 10 develop agri-
culture. The interest in it has been
and is steadily increasing. At the
present time the association has "a
membership of nearly 200 active.
earnest, practical farmers.
The results accomplished in other
agricultural states in the line of seed
Improvement have been very marked.
Eive-year tests with corn made by
about 600 members of the Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment Association
showed an average yield Of 5g1 bush
els per acre, while the average Yield
of the State was $50. Experiments

The Dairy Work.

OF the results accomplished by the
dairy division OF the department the
report says: "'Thc dairymen are very
much in earnest in regard to the i'm
preVement OF the dairy breeds and
the members of the several breeders
associations have manifested much
interest in the work.
The members Of the COW test as
soelations have Increased their inter
est in these associations Monthly
meetings have been held during the
year and at these meetings questions
IN relation to the feeding and care Of
the COWS and other matters, which
have offered difficulty to members OF
the association have been discussed.
These meetings have been generally
attended by a representative Of the
department.
The investigation of dairy products
under the act of the Legislature OF
1909, has been vigorously prosecuted
during the year. Samples Of milk
have been taken in all sections of the
STATE and the department has issued
quarterly bulletins giving the results
of the analyses of these samples. Fhe
publicity that is given to the work OF
the milk dealers IN this way is doins
and las done much towards advancing
the standard of our market milk.

Agricultural Societies.

The fairs of the state have had Il
favorable year. The weather was
fine in most instances and the at
tendance above the average. The cH-
hibit oil dairy products at the State
fairs was a credit to the various as
sociations. There was d marked in
crease in the amount of milk, cream
and butter and cheese exhibited, and
these products were Of superior
quality. The exhibition Of fruit was
also far in advance of previous years.
The care that was taken i'll selecting
only the best-as the fruit shown
scored much higher than in former
years shows that the apple growers
of the State are much Interested in
these exhibitions. The vegetables
and grain exhibited at sumo of the
fairs were a great credit to the State.
In fact all Of the products of the farm
and garden were far superior to those
exhibited in former years. In the
stock department Improvement was
also noted More full blooded regis
tered stock was exhibited this year
than usual
We believe that the fair managers
are generally trying to make their ex-
hibitions more educational as well as
attractive. Fair days are holidays To
the majority and they must have
amusement, but let 1t be along cduca-
tional lines. The officers of the fairs
are reminded by this department
every year of the statute that governs
the societies, in order for them to re-
tF aiL
orally they are diligcnt in seeing that
this statute is enforced. 1t is only
that violation occurs.
