FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE

Our boy was born in Toronto on
Oct. 13, 1908, and when three months
old a slight rash appeared on his
cheek. What appeared to be a wa
ter blister would form. When it
broke, matter would run out, starting
new blisters until his entire face,
head and shoulders were a mass Of
scabs and you could not see a par
ticle of clear skin. Other parts of
his body were affected, but not to
such an extent. We tried about every
advertised remedy without avail, in
deed some of them only added to his
suffering and n in particular, the
- Remedy, almost put the infant
into commissions. The family doctor
prescribed for him and told US to
battle the baby in buttermilk. This
did not do any good, so We took him
to a hospital. He was treated as an
o%ut-patient twice a week and he got
worse, If anything. We then called
in another doctor and inside of a
week the boy was, to all appearances,
cured and the doctor said his work
was uOne. but IHe very next Gay 1t
broke out as bad as ever.
1--WE decided that it could not be
cured and must run its course and so
we just kept his arms bandaged to
his side to prevent his tearing his
flesh. We left Toronto and shortly
after our arrival in Duluth, the Cuti-
III Remedies were recommended.
We started using them in May, 1909,
and o the cur was complete. You
would not think he was the same
child for Cuticura made his skin per-
fectly clear and he is entirely free
from the skin disease. There has
been no return this time. We still
use only Cuticura Soap for baby's
bath. Robert Mann, Proctor, Mimi,

GOOD DIPPING VAT FOR SHEEP
Every Farmer With Flock Of Twenty
five Animals Should Possess
one-Concrete Is Cheap.

A farmer owning as many as TWEEN
ty-ive sheep should have a good
dipping var. These may be made Of
wood, metal or concrete. For q
smaller number Of sheep than twenty
FIVE, the barrel used to scald the pigs
will do If the farmer feels that he
cannot afford 10 purchase or build
a vat.
A good galvanized vat ten feet long
and four feet deep made purposely
for dipping can be purchased for
about $12. There are smaller sizes
than this that can be purchased fer
less money. Concrete watts can bs
built at a normal cost. Three or four
farmers can club together and pur-
chase one of the galvanized tanks and
haul 1t to their respective farms as It
is wanted. A dipping vat for sheep
should be narrow enough to prevent
the sheep turning around in it, and
deep enough to swim large sheep.
The length Of the vat should depend
upon the number Of sheep a man
keeps on his place, as the longer the
vat the greater the number of sheep
which can be dipped in a day. There
Is considerable variation as t. the

The latter is the better place in
many ways. II the foal is allowed TO
follow it's mother to the field, to
trudge after her all day long, 1t Will
be completely tired out, long before
the days work is ended.
1t is also in danger of being injured
in various ways. 1t would be far bet
ter off left at the barn in a lot, or,
if the weather is bad, in a box stan,
where II can do itself no harm.
After the first day, the colt VIII

perfectly c%ontented, as soon as its
mother it taken out Of its sight.
Also, under this plan, the mare viii
work as well as usual, after the first
day or two, which would not be the
case if the colt were in the field where
she could keep 1t in sight most OF the
time.
The first week, of course, 1t Will
be necessary to unhitch the mare IN
the middle of the forenoon and again
in the middle of the afternoon, and
take her to the barn and allow the
colt to suck, but this Is not one-half as
i~nconvenient as having the colt in the
field to get in the way, and to keel
it's mother in a lutter Of excitement
1t will not be long before the colt car
be left away from its mother half a
day at a time and then the mare can
be worked without any inconvenience
whatever.
If there ara two o r more colts, put
them in a Luz together when thelr
mothers go to the fields. and they will
be more contHated.
When thers IS any necessity OF haV'
ing the brood mare away from home
all day, the cot should be battered to
her side. If IN the road there will
then be no dagger of the colt running
back, or up bthnch roads, or of fol
lowing other raares.
Haltering ths colt TO the mare is a
particularly wise precaution when
trip is to be raade to town, or any
where where railroads have tracks to
be crossed.

reveals itself in the voice only; as

shown that the digestive fluids of stomach were flowing /
freely, exactly as II the desirable food had entered. I
This proved that 1t was not the presence of food Z
which caused the digestive juices to flow, but the fow I
was caused entirely and alone as a result OF the action
OF the mind, from anticipation"
One dog continued to eat the food he liked for over

the mind.
Do you pick up the lesson?
Unappetizing food, that which fails to create mentaiI
anticipation, does not cause the necessary digestive
juices to flow, whereas. food that is pleasing to the
sight, and hence to the mind, will cause the complicated
machinery of the body to prepare in a wonderful way
