RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY
Ttched So He Could Not Sleep

son July 81, 1909, we left Boston for
a trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with US. After being in Ireland
few days a nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to doc
tor who gave us medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form of a
rash and was all over babys body,
head and face, at different times. 1t
irritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
it developed into sores. and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
when we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and 1t used to
itch and burn at night SO bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with 1t at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment After using Cuti.
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of Disagreement, and baby
is completely cured by the Cuticura

ripened 1t and 1t has become SO rich
and thick that 1t takes a good right
arm to swing 1t out of the combs.
When the combs are taken from the
bees they are carried to the honey
house and left there until evening.
Before beginning to extract. take
the uncapping knife and hone 1t on
an oilstone until the edges are good
and keen.
This will prevent tearing the combs
to a great extent when shaving the
cappings off. The knife Is occasion
ally dipped in pail of hot water
which greatly expedites the work also.
Two frames of nearly equal weight
are selected each time sc as to bal
ance nicely in the extractor. The crank
is turned rapidly for a minute or SO
and the honey is WHIPPED out of the
combs.
1t is then drawn off at the honey
gate into an agate pail which has a
sieve over 1t to catch the bits of cap
pings which frequently get into the
extractor
The honey is then poured into FIVE
gallon tin cans. for the wholesale
trade; and some in Mason jars and
tumblers. for retailing.
Before extracting is begun. the
combs are held up to the light and
graded. The white honey is selected
and extracted first. next the amber
and then the dark.
The uncapping can is in two parts
the top section telescopes into the bot
tom section. The top section has a
sieve bottom which catches the cap
pings as they fall into the can.
The honey drains from them into
the lower section and nothing is lost
or wasted The cappings. after drain
ing for a few days, are rendered intC
the most beautiful light-yellow wax.
The empty combs are set into the
home apiary and cleaned UP by the
bees and stored away until mex
spring. when they are hauled to tht
outyards and used there.

By y. q. HERMAN,

The invention Of the movable frame
and Of the honey-extractor. has ar
forded beekeepers the means Of taking
out Of the hives the combs loaded
with honey, and of returning them to
the bees when empty without damag-
ing them or injuring single bee.
Extracted honey comes nearer be-
ing a staple article than does comb.
and I believe If we exert ourselves
more in the introduction of extracted
honey the future will see the greater
portion of our honey sold in the liquid
form.
1t costs so much less to produce 1t
and prepare it for market and we
can produce so much more per colony
that we can sell 1t for about half what
we get for the comb honey and give
US the same profit.
1t is estimated that 1t takes about
Is pounds of honey to make one
pound of comb.
If honey is extracted from tht
combs without mutilating them anc
the combs replaced in the hives, one
can obtain nearly twice as mucl
honey.

full insects.
Ry T. GILBERT PEARsoN.l


The meadow lark. or. as it is often
called. Fee Lark" is a familiar &C
quaintance of virtually every farm
boy in the country. Its loud. clear
call in the spring is known to all
whose business or pleasure takes
them to the fields. Its clear. far
reaching whistle of '1aziness will kill
you" is enough to arouse in the mind
of the hearer more than passing
notice.
Living, as 1t does. on the ground,
1t is seldom seen perched aloft unless
for the purpose of singing, or when
resting after its search for food. In
flying it proceeds by alternately sail.
ing and beating its wings rapidly. The
nest is an oven-like structure con.
cealed under a tuft of grass or small
bush and the eggs, which are four
or FIVE in number. are beautifully
spotted from natures bounteous
palette.
Few birds are more constant eat
ers of insects than the lark. Even
in winter when snow lies thickly or
the ground many stomachs have beer
found to be filled largely with insects
which have been procured about the
manure piles. the edges of straw
stacks and similarly exposed places.
The United States Biological Sur
vey examined 23S meadow lark stom
achs. during an experiment to deter
mine as accurately as possible The
facts regarding the birds food. The
birds were killed In various localities
and at all seasons of the year.

three-fourths of the meadow lark
food for the year consists of insects

grain may raise a question as to thu

that almost the entire amount o
grain was eaten during the month

pull up some sprouting grain? TIL
