DIsFIeuREp WITH Eczema

''Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
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 lit.
tie 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.
I'VE 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 the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, 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 pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We. can
only recommend the Cuticura RENE
dies to everybody" (signed) Mrs. II.

The past season we raised alfalfa

ing three to four feet. apart each way
in good garden soil and should be
given thorough cultivation. This will
encourage the free production Of seed.
Transplanting alfalfa plants is moth
ing new as it has long been practiced
in parts Of India and South America.
In dry regions alfalfa seed is now
often raised in cultivated rows. Grow
ing alfalfa for seed and hay are two
different propositions. VI 1s,
1t must be remembered that very
large number of different strains of
alfalfas were found growing wild in
Siberia and l tried to secure them
from regions that correspond to the
various parts Of the prairie northwest
Some of these alfalfas, 1 think, will
be better adapted to the extreme north
than to the south. The seed gathered
on my last trips to Siberia in 1906 and
1908 was scattered in a great many
places from our Mexican boundary
north into Alaska. I had nothing to
do with this distribution as it was
done from Washington. However, l
have worked patiently along with q
small quantity of each lot and am
ready to send out few Of the best Of
these for trial elsewhere. No seeds
can be spared but plants only. Some
of the best of these alfalfas have been
started from a teaspoonful of seed, SO
that it has been slow work. The small
state appropriation will stimulate the
work as there are no federal funds
available for this purpose.

Game Warden Bancroft has published
the following:

"a new bill was presented to the
legislature having for its main feature
the elimination of the county game
warden system and substituting the
state deputy system. This bill passed
the lower house, but failed to pass the
senate, and thereby did not become a
law - . s4 M
THE only game bills that passed
were the two bills affecting big game.
One of them was putting closed
season on antelope indefinitely, and
the other the big game law which
takes the place of the old one.
This new big game law prohibits
the killing of more than one deer-and
that of the male deer only. Under
this law deer is the only big game
animal that may be legally killed in
this state. t
Practically the old game and fish
laws, with the exception of the above,
are now in full force and effect and
will remain SO until changed by a flu
ture legislature.
Prairie chickens may be legally
killed next fall from Sept. 10 to Oct.

and not over twenty-five in possession
of person at any one time. "
