boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the aflliction assumed the
form Of an eczema on my face, the
lower part Of my face being intiamed

wherever the water would touch it

the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch SO as to be almost I'M
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole Of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part OF my
face would be a solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or FIVE years,
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, so much SO
that my wife became alarmed lest i.
prove fatal.

BALE YOUR HAY THIS YEAR
Kept Compact, ls Easy to Handle
and Takes Up Comparatively
Little Room-Always Clean.

Loose hay Ia SO bulky that 1t takes
up five or six times the barn space
of baled hay. Loose hay quickly
gathers dust-which causes cough
ing of stock and perhaps disease.
The whole outside of stack of looae
hay is practically wasted by wind,
rain, sun and the other elements.
This often amounts to 20 per cent of
the stack. Loose hay can not be
shipped far, and the local dealer
knows 1t. So he pays you his price,
and you sell because you know that
your loose hay must be sold near
home
Baled hay is compact-easy to
handle-takes up com paratively lit
tie space, so can be stored until
prices reach the top, when you can
sell anywhere, distance does not mat
ter much. Baled hay is always clean
and fresh, loses none of its nutritive
qualities, and there is no waste.
