CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUM0R

81 think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema l have
ever heard Of. My mother had 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 a few days the head was
a solid mass q running sore. 1t 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 dollar bottle Of Cuticura Re-
solvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and 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
1t makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund. Plain City. Utah, Sept. 10. 1910.

ment are sold everywhere. sample

A warning against the dangers OF

tional Association for the Study and

1t is shown that the percentage OF
deaths caused by tuberculosis in dusty
trades Is more than double that for all
employed men in the registration area
of the United States. While among
males generally In the registration
area of the United States 14.5 per
cent of all deaths are from consump
ton the mortality among grinders
from this disease Is 1872 per cent, and
in hardly any of the dusty trades Is II
below 25 per cent. The percentage OF
deaths from tuberculosis among all
those exposed to metallic dust is 36.s
per cent; to mineral dust, 28.6 pei
cent; to vegetable fibre dust, 2S.S per

forms of dust, 32.1 per cent; to street

RAPE SUPERIOR

Farmer Is Always Sure of
Getting Moneys Worth.
tBy ]. BAILEY BRUCE

You can SOW rape most any time
during the summer and get your
moneys worth. 1t is a fine thing to
sow in corn as catch crop as it
grows faster than cow-peas. soybeans.
clover or any of the catches.
AS pasture 1t is far superior to cow
peas or soy-beans as 1t lasts till nearly
Christmas in the southern states and
in many places all winter.
The seed is cheap. 1t can be bought
for about FIVE cents pound and two
pounds will sow an acre so that you
can get SIS or $40 worth of feed from
as many cents worth of seed.
1t is pretty certain to make a crop.
and then II 1t Is pastured there is no
loss OF fertility to the soil. but on the
contrary it is benefited
AS 1t grows long after corn and oats
Is matured 1t saves the nitrogen that
would otherwise be wasted There is
no extra blowing. narrowing or har.
vesting and you may get a profit OF
one dollar or ten dollars per acre.

KEEP HORSE IN GOOD FLESH
It Does Not Pay to Keep Weak AMI
mails That Cannot Do Good Days
Work Every Day.

Horses can be kept the most eco
nomically in good flesh. A fat horse
will eat less than a poor one. The
horse with his bones covered with
good, hard flesh and muscle Is strong
er. 1t does not pay to keep thin. weak
horses that cannot do good days
work every day when 1t costs no more
to keep good ones. could never drive
a team that did not have SO much
life that had to restrain instead OF
urge them. and when I wanted tc
rush job they were ready for 1t.
1t is a sad fact that one Of the
worst things that can be said about
farmers, as class. that reflects on
their character, is that they keep toe
many poor, weak and diseased horses
that so many consider only as ma.
chimes to do their work with. Surely
the horse needs friends that will dc
some missionary work for him. Some
one has said that when mans ami
mails know he has religion he has ths
right kind.

visited this little Long Island farm
were quite certain that the trees on
which these peaches were grown had
been planted at least seven years. and
1t took the records of the county seat
to show that the land, which wai
waste pine barrens, was not bought
until four years before the maturing

HARVESTING IN ARID AREAS
Important That Grain Be Gathered
More Promptly Than In Other
Areas-Tlme to Cut.

In dry areas 1t is even more impor-
tant that grain shall be harvested
promptly than In other areas. One
reason is that the grain is usually
very plump, and therefore. shells
easily. This IL not true Of all kinds
of grain. but 1t is true Of many kinds
of the same. Some kinds of wheat,
for instance, do not shell readily,
though not cut for two or three weeks
after reaching maturity. This. how
ever. 10 not true of many kinds Of
wheat
The loss in Smelling does not result
entirely from the loss Of the grain.
In such areas. much of the grain thus
lost will grow again. but not until the
next year. 1t mingles with the crop
that follows often to its serious detri-
ment. even though the crop should be
of the same species and variety. It
makes 1t thicker than 1t ought to be.
thus making the moisture supply in
sufficient for the needs Of the crop in
q dry season. On the open prairie
or beach lands, the winds will 30 whip
the heads betimes, that II cutting 10
uSlcEIcu IOT even LWO OF tuT60 udy .
beyond the proper stage. much OF the
grain will be lost.
In such areas the cutting 10 usually
too long deferred. With most cereals
cutting may take place as soon as the
straw has assumed a yellow tnge for
several inches below the head. 1t will
also be Of the same tint for several
inches up from the surface Of the
ground, but the body of the straw
may still be green. Flax Is ready for
cutting in such areas when say two
thirds of the bolls have assumed a
brown tint. Peas are ready when two
thirds of the pods on the vines have
turned yellow. The pods. still more
or less green in tint, will be found on
top of the vines. They are much less
important than those first formed.
Where very large areas Of grain are
grown in dry section, the crop is fire.
Quently harvested with the header,
and in some instances with the COM
bined header and thresher; this Ia
only possible where the area to be
harvested is large.
