IN LATE WINTER
AND EARLY SPRING
We seldom feel JUST RIGHT

At such time MSPARlllA is the best and
safest Blood Purifier, the most successful
prescription for spring humors and such
disorders of the blood as boils, pimples,
pustules, blotches, sores and cutaneous
eruptions. Kasparilla is admitted to be
the best remedy for that lack of energy
and the peculiar debility so prevalent
during the close of winter and the opening
OF spring. For arrangements of the di-
gestive organs 1t is a natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating q healthy activity. Its
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation of
food, promoting wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con-
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla -dispels drowsi-
ness, headache, backache and despond-
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. II is a
strengthening tonic of the highest value.

Settler Receives
$500 For Pelts
L. J. seIby OF West Grossman Prot
its During Winter season-Ron-

l.. j. Selby of West Grossman was
in Friday to collect the bounty ON
three lynxes and three bob cats he
had killed. The bounty is So per
head, but the skins sell for far
more-the cats bringing from Sc to
81 each and the lynxes $25 each. Mr..
Selby had already disposed of one
lynx and one cat skin this winter,
besides collecting the bounty and
selling the skins of seven coyotes
at $3.50 each. So Mr.. Selby's trap.
ping has brought him in nearly 5000

had.

Settlers More Hopeful.
Mr.. Selby has a fine claim in the
southeastern part of the new town

ing more hopeful now that there is
chance for road down to Ron
dowa, and few are selling to the
timber trust. For a while it seem
ed that the ruthless timber trust
would squeeze the life out of them,
but II the road is put down to Ron

go in, and the settlers will have
market for their timber, and can
hold on to their claims.
Township 4n-41 is one of the rich

only means Of preserving affected specimens and

Eoblest specimens of woodland growth The
favorite mixture for filling cavities is composed
of one part Portland cement to three parts OF
clean, sharp sand. After all decayed or decaying
matter has been removed from the cavity the
whole cavity is filled with this thin mortar and
then, when this has had time to become stiff

made Of one part sand and one part cement and

It should be noted in conclusion that ProvI-
dence has provided us with the best tree doctor
in the form Of that familiar and unappreciated
bird, the woodpecker The woodpecker is easily
the most useful Of all the seven hundred varieties
of birds to be found in the United States and 1t
is largely because of his constant search for and
warfare against the four hundred different varie-
ties OF insects that prey upon our trees. The
woodpecker is not merely tree DOCTOR but is
actually tree surgeon because his most ener-

IMPORTANCE OF
FARM HORSES
nima1s, IN Combinat ton With
Modern Machinery, Have to
Great Extent Replaced
Human Labor.
By THOMAS p. CooPER.J

At present the horse Is practically
the entire motive power of the farm.
In combination with improved farm
machinery, the horse has, to great
extent, replaced human labor. And
the modern farm depends as much
Is kept to perform the labor as 1t does
dpon the use of the human labor upon
the farm. In fact, the efficiency Of
numan labor upon the farm, and in
many instances the proper operation
Of the farm, depends entirely upon
The farm horse. We may readily I'M
derstand, therefore, that the farm
morse is often the greatest single fac
,or in the success of the farming oper-
atoms 1t is essential, then, that the
,arm horse be so cared for, and the
,arm so organized, that a maximum
return on the horses labor can he
secured annually.
1t is true that horse owners gener-
ally are not accustomed to look upon
the horses of the farm, or their labor,
as costing anything. The horse has
been considered so much of a neces-
sity, and so much a part of the farm,
that the question Of the cost of the
horse labor to the farm, or of the
methods by which such cost may be
decreased, has been very largely neg
lected The question of economy of
power on the farm is only brought up
at those times when consideration is
being given to some other form of
motive power than the horse. 1t is
question, though, that-with increas-
Ing cost of feed, of care, and larger
investment in horses-will constantly
become Of greater and greater i'm
portance.
The cost of horse labor depends
upon many conditions that vary on
each farm, so that costs are not SINH
lar on different farms. However, the
items that make up cost are similar
on all farms, and only vary in amount.
II is essential, then, that the farm
operator have an accurate knowledge
Of what comprises cost, and what ave-
rage costs are, that he may institute
such economies in his management as
seem desirable. Carefully-kept rec.
ords and accounts with the farm
horse, show that the average cost Of
horse labor on the farm is about eight
and one-half cents per hour. The rate
seldom averages less. and generally
runs higher. This means that the act
ual cost, on the farm. of a horses
labor for ten-hour day, is IS cents,
or $40 for team

glare of the midsummer sun and
nothing feels the effect of this more
than the sheep. Their wool makes
them feel effects of heat more than
any of our other animals 1t makes
them uncomfortable. One has but to
look. at a flock lying painting in the
shade on hot day to be convinced
of this.
The wool of the lambs being longer
than that of the eve makes them suf-
fer more than does the eve. This
alone would check the growth of the
lamb, but the worst of all is the fact
that with the coming of the summers
heat the ewes flow of milk drops of.
The usual shortage of pasture at this
time is also conducive to this.
With the falling off of the mothers
milk the lamb too often receives a
serious backset. What can the poor
little thing do? Its chief support is
gone. 1t turns to the pastures, but
they, too often, are bare of any save
the sparsest vegetation.

Pimples and black-heads show that
the waste material is not being car

to clog the pores. Sometimes this &C
emulation of waste material is due to
lack of cleanliness. The waste ma
terial is left on the skin and clogs the
pores so they cannot perform their

poor circulation or to diseases of the

as though the residents of our towns and cities
prize their trees highly and are willing to

that tall, stately trees are much rarer in cities

Picking and Packing Pears.

Many growers pick pears when they
are quite green, but this is a mistake.
1t is better to pick pears when they
are fully matured. Wrapped carefully
in paper they will reach the market in
fine condition.
If pears are picked green they will
remain green. They do not ripen s.s
many people suppose. It is necessary
to pack pears, plums and peaches just
tightly enough so they will not brulse

Every persons skin is a law unto

may not be so to another. You never
saw two persons who looked exactly
alike, nor two persons who did things
in exactly the same manner. So 1t is
with the skin, no person has a skin
that is exactly like another's. How
foolish It is, then, to expect the same
treatment to agree with all skins!
Certainly an oily skin requires diff.
ferent treatment from one that is in
clined to be dry. Exactly what agrees
