CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUM0R

II think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema I have
ever heard of. MY mother had q child
who had a rash on its head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave US medicine, but 1t did
no good. ! In few days the head was
a solid mass, q running sore. It was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent, q box of Cuticura Ointment,
and a bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
1t has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had beau
tiful head Of hair. think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
It makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept. 10, 1910.

ment are sold everywhere. sample

say they will come into price nearer
their legitimate value of $50 or $50 an
acre quite as quickly as the southerly
lands. And I believe it.
Throughout all this great country,
practically 500 by 800 miles square,
there are still a great many home
steads which are given free to actual
settlers. Many who have secured pat
ents for their homesteads consider
their land worth from $1S to $25 per
acre.
Immense Crops Assured.
Throughout the southern portion of
Alberta, a. district that suffered more
or less last year from drouth. there
will be harvested this year one of the
best crops of fall wheat, winter wheat,
oats, fax and alfalfa that has ever
been taken off these highly productive
lands.
In Central Alberta, which comprises
the district north of Calgary and east
two hundred miles, through Camrose,
Sedgewick, Castor, Red Deer, Wetas-
kiwin, Edmonton. Lacombe, Vegre-
vile, Tofield, Vermillion and a score
of other localities, where are settled
large numbers of Americans, the
wheat, oats and flax, three weeks ago.
was standing strong and erect, large
heads and promising from 30 to 35
bushels of wheat and as high as 100
bushels Of oats on carefully titled
fields, while fax would probably
yield from Is to 10 bushels per acre.
In these parts the harvesters are
busy today garnering this great crop
and it will shortly be known whether
the great anticipations are to be real
lied.
Throughout all parts of Saskatche-
wan, whether north, south, east or
west, the same story was heard, and
the evidence was seen of the splendid
and bountiful crop.
Rich Yield in Manitoba.
In Manitoba it was the same. The
fields of grain that were passed
through in this province promised to
give to the growers a bumper yield,
and as high as IS bushels of wheat
and 60 bushels of oats was freely dis
cussed.
1t would appear as If the expecta-
ton of an average of Is bushels of
wheat throughout the three provinces
would be met.
In few days the 10000, 000-bushel
elevator capacity throughout the coun-
try will be taxed, the 25,000,OOO BUSH
els capacity at Fort William and Port
Arthur will be taken up, and the rail-
ways and their equipment will be
called upon for their best. Today the
great, broad, yellow fields are indus
trial haunts, the self-binder is at work
in it's giant task Of reducing into
sheaves the standing grain, the har-
yesters are busy stocking and stack
ing. the threshing machines are being
fed the sheaves, the large box wagons
are taking it to the elevators, and no
matter where you go it is the same
story and a picture such as can only
be seen in the great grain fields Of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.

OF Saskatchewan, Alberta and Mani

would realize out of his crop, now
past any danger of accident, over
what his anticipations were two
months ago. One man said to me:

BEE MOTH INsIDIous ENEMY
Weak and Queeniess Hives Surfer
Most From lts Attacks-keep All
Colonies Strong.
(By F. g. HERMAN.)


It Is not to be wondered that our
forefathers were afraid Of the moths
for their bees. Until the invention Of
the movable frame hive 1t was next
to impossible to ascertain the extent
Of the danger to the bee industry on
the moths account.
The common belief among begin
ners Is that an army Of wax worms
will attack colony of bees and kill
them. The truth of the matter is that
the mischief begins with the little In.
nocent looking moth miller which fit
ters about among the hives. and en-
tiers those which are weak In bees,
and there finds lots of vacant cells In
which to deposit her eggs.
In due time the tiny wax worms
hatch from those eggs and begin to
feed on the comb, at the same time
filling them full Of webs. The trouble
is more serious In the southern states
than 1t is further north.
The remedy for this is to keep all
colonies strong IN bees. Do not give
them more combs than they can &C.
cupy.
If combs have been out during win
ter so as to be frozen, they are safe
until the weather becomes warm
enough for fresh eggs to be laid in
them. A good tight. cool cellar is
about the best place to store them
until swarming time.
There is too much neglect Of this
kind among the aparies. We do not
sufficiently recollect that the moth be-
comes more numerous as the season
advances.

wonderfully we'll, and the current
price is about $3.50 per bushel. We
then drove over into another town

railway, and the main Travelled road.
Here we found ourselves in the center
of a Swedish settlement. Those form
ing the settlement were originally

horses and stay over for dinner, and
a dinner that was enjoyed not only on
account of the generous appetite Gre
ated by the celebrating drive, but
also because of the clean linen, the
well-prepared dishes of roast fowl. po-
tatoes, cabbage, and delightful des-
sert, some of the history of the settle
ment was learned. The host and
hostess were modest in describing
their own achievements, and equally
modest as to those of their friends,
but enough was learned to satisfy US
that they had come there about three
years ago, in moderate, almost poor
circumstances. Most of them had re-
ceived their homesteads as gift from
the government, and by careful dill
gence had purchased and paid for ad-

The settlers, most of them, by the

fire charm was wholesome. Fuel was
in abundance, the soil was the best,
the shelter for the cattle afforded by
the groves gave splendid supply OF

liked it. Here was a sturdy farmer,

PROPER TIME TO CUT GRASS
Haste Makes Waste When Crop Is
Hurried to Barn Not Fully Cured
Thorough Drying Needed.
(By WALTER LEUTZ.)

AS to the best time for cutting
grass, it does not pay to be in too big
a hurry. When the grass is young
and tender and seemingly succulent
in the fresh state, 1t is harder to cure,
dries and shrinks more, and has not
nearly the food value of the more ma
ture crop.
While the opposite extreme should
be avoided, cutting before the seed is
so ripe as to scatter, there is much
more nourishment in the matured
stalk, and one farmer who was COM
plimented for bringing his cattle
through the winter on a minimum
amount of grain and yet keeping them
In good flesh, attributes his success
largely to this fact.
Haste makes waste when the crop
Is hurried to the barn not fully cured
Hay cut green requires more thorough
Arying than that almost overripe.

NonsagoIns Gate.

COP of the gate to the barn is tight
ened, SO that the weight of the gate
at the end where the wire is fastened
will hang upon the wire. The gate will
answer for either of the lanes.
We find this arrangement of lanes
very convenient when turning stock
from one pasture to another.
When the wire support is used to
keep the gate from sagging, one may
use a very long gate-one as long as
10 or 20 feet.
