How 10 Tell ii Your Hair is Diseased.

Even if you have a luxurant head
of hair you may want to know
whether it is in a healthy condition
or not. SO per cent of the people
need hair tonic.
Pull hair out Of your head; if the
bulo at the enc Of the root is white
and shrunken, it proves that the
hair is diseased, and requires prompt
treatment if its loss would be avoid
ed. If the bulb is pink and full,
the hair is healthy.
We want every one whose hair re-
quires treatment to try Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic. We promise that it
shall not cost anything if it does not
give satisfactory results. It is de-

Why We Should Feed More CoiiaDSeeG
Meal.

Corn is a good horse feed when
used with certain other feeds that
will supply the nutrient, protein, in
which corn IS deficient. To supply
this deficiency we have the richest
and cheapest feed known today, End
yet, through prejudice, habit, ignoc-
ance, or careIesspess, we persistently
refuse to use this Southern feeding
stuff in the feeding of our horses
and mules. We refer to cottonseed
meal. Every horse and mule now
receiving IA pounds of corn a day
should have that amount reduced at
least pounds, and pounds Of cot
tonseed meal, or probaly what is
better, cottonseed cake, substituted.
It Isl established beyond douot, both
through scientific considerations aud
by actual practice, that pour DIS of
corn will give better results than IA
pounds of corn, especially when the
long forage is corn fodder or any
OF the grass hays. The extra trouble
Of feeding the cottonseed meal,
which is probably the true reason
for our failure to use it, would be
well paid for in the increased value
of the manure; and the saving which
would result in the cost of feeding
t. e horses and mules of the South,
with corn at 60 cents bushel ard
& ttonseed meal at $50 ton amount
to over $40, OOO, 900 annually.
To this grain we can safely add
better health and at leas 10 per cent
greater efficiency in the work re-
