ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
old His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat We tied
little bags of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
1--WE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.

RULES FOR MAKING GOOD TEA
Follow These and Delightful and
ExhiIarating Beverage Will
Be the Result

good cup of tea is something too
infrequently met with when one con-
s1ders the prevalent use of tea as g.
beverage. The fault often lies less
In the tea than in the manner of it's
making. Here are some of the rules
which, if observed, will prove the
quality of the product:
Don't use water that has been boil
ed long time in brewing tea
Don't use water which has not yet
reached the boiling point.
Don't allow the tea to brew for
more than five minutes.
Don't make tea in a cold teapot.
Rinse with not water before placing
the leaves in the pot.
Don't pour a second water over the
leaves when the first brew is exhaust
ed
Don't allow tea to grow damp in the
caddy.
Don't buy too cheap quality of tea
and expect good results
Here is the Japanese method of
making a delightfully."- refreshing bev-
erage: Heat the earthen or china
teapot thoroughly with boiling water,
chen empty out the water and put in
he tea, pour in freshly boiled water,
*et it stand for five minutes and serve.
A teapot never touches the stove.
A tiny tea cozy of Japanese paper is
put over the teapot the moment the
water is poured on and a delicious cup
OF tea is thus secured without having
extracted the injurious Ingredient
the tannin
Always use porcelain or earth
ware teapot. Tea experts tell us that
the fragrant leaf should never touch
metal

MUCH DAMAGE DONE BY LICE
Chick Found Asleep is Flag of Danger
and One Would Better Look for
TroubIe-Watch for Insects.
CBy EMMA STACEY

-
Should you enter the poultry yard
and find a chick asleep instead of at
work, you would better look for the
trouble, and without doubt you will
discover the lice; or if the chicks do
not grow as you think they should,
look for the trouble. 1t may be the
same old lice. When the chicks are
Matched it is an excellent plan to
grease the head and under the wings
with pure lard-not enough to chill
the chicks. Many have found to their
sorrow that various mixtures of coal
OIL vaseline and insect powder will
kill the chicks as we'll as the insects
The yards and houses must be clean
at all times through the hot months,
or you can't keep the lice away, and
lice and success do not go the same
way. Paint the brood coops, the nest
boxes and the roosts; indeed, every
thing but the chickens should get a
washing of the mixture. There is no
worse drawback to the poultry bust
ness than lice and other insects which
render the life of the fowl most miser-
able.

EGGS WHEN PRICE is HIGH

wet and never cleaned. Then the
chicks get the sore head, first thing
you know, and if they don't die of neg

cared for, another month or six weeks
will be lost with roup in earl! fall,
with the result that the cold weather

happens the poultryman will be ftrtu-

Fresh air, sunshine and exercise
are the best poultry tonics.
The natural time for hen to lay
is from February to October
Air-slacked lime is a valuable dis.
infectant in the poultry house.
On most poultry farms the dry
mash has superseded the wet mash.
From now on until next spring the
hens should be supplied with a dust
box
Oyster shells is the best food with
which the hens can manufacture egg
shells
Ducks have become one of the best
paying propositions in the poultry in
dustry.
The germ of disease must be de.
stroyed before the disease can he
eliminated.
The necessity for fresh air has led
to the great popularity of the open
front houses.
Eggs and fowls used in the home
should be credited at market prices.
This is only fair.
Plenty of exercise and plenty of
good fresh air are necessary for the
health of the flock.
There are many waste products
that could be turned to use as poul.
try food in every garden.
Many a woman makes "a greater
success with poultry than her husband

COSTS LESS THAN S.
CENTS A BUSHEL TO
RAISE WHEAT IN
CANADA.
A FREQUENT QUESTION AN
SWERED.

Western Canada probably suffered
less from weather conditions during
the year of 1911 than did almost any
other portion of the country. Seeding
was most successful and the growing
conditions up to July were never bet
ter. Crops of all kinds showed won
derful growth at that time and were
universally good, but there was not
the usually excellent ripening weather
in August and the effects of this were
felt. Many fields that late in July
promised 40 and so bushels yield of
wheat were reduced to % and 80 bush
els. while some of course gave the
full expectancy and others somewhat
less. The quality was also lowered.
In face of these conditions, it is found
that during the months Of September
and October, the total amount of con-
tract wheat marketed and inspected
was about 20 million bushels, which
realized total of 1872 million dollars,
the average price for this wheat be-
ing 97A cents; that below contract
for the two months was a little over
Is million bushels, which at an aver
age price of S91a cents per bushel
realized a little over eleven million
dollars, or a grand total for all wheat
of 80 million bushels, which realized
a total of a little over thirty-one mil.
lion dollars.
On the first of November, there
was in the hands of the farmers of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
for sale and seed about 100 million
bushels of wheat, from which fact
some idea may be had Of the value
Of the wheat crop of 1911.
A careful canvass made by the Win
nipeg Free Press made of a number
of men farming in large way indi-
Gates that even with the extreme ex-
pense of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than 55 cts. bushel The
average freight rate is not over 13
cts. per bushel. This would make the
cost Of production and freight IS cts
and would leave the farmer an actual
margin Oh his 1ow-grade wheat Of
171a cts. and for his high grade wheat
Of 1912 IT'S; and though this is not
as large profit as the farmer has
every right to expect, it is a profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses Of
the year have been paid, unless the
value of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below it's present level

Meant to Be Real Bad.

Two little girls residing in East
Eighty-sixth street, Virginia Clough
and Claire Feldman, who had long
envied their boy playmates for their
ability to enjoy such badness as in in
herent in boys, resolved to be bad
themselves. To this end they shut
themselves up in Virginia's room and
proceeded to be naughty. In fact.
they practiced swearing-just to see
what would happen.
When they were quite sure that
none would overhear them each pro-
duced a slip of paper containing the
swear word and fired away.
"Bulldog!" said Virginia.
"Cigars!" was Claire's reply
But the ceiling didn't drop, and
there was no earthquake to swallow
them up, and the two resumed their
play, trifie disappointed at the tame
termination of their badness.-Cleve-

Excellent Poultry Hints.

Here are few hints to those who
are in the business of raising market
poultry: Market the roosters sepa-
rately. Aim to attract the eye of the
buyer. Have regular market days.
Try to build up a reputation for prime
stock. Grow bone and muscle first,
and then fatten. Big cOmbed broilers
are apt to be wrongly classified in
market. Always notify your commits
sion merchant before shipping. Young
fowls shipped with old stock will COM
mand old stock prices. Poultry should
be killed the day before marketing
when going direct to the consumer.
Do not mix white-skinned chickens in
the same shipment with yellow
skinned ones. Have tag fastened on
each fowl you send to market. 1t is
the best way to advertise your stock.
