1t Grows Hair.
Here Are Facts We Want
You to Prove at Our Risk.

Marvellous as it may seem,
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic has
grown hair on heads that were
once bald. Of course, in none of
these cases were the hair roots
dead, nor had the scalp taken on
a glazed, shiny appearance.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic acts
scientifically, destroying the
germs which are usually respon-
sible for badness. 1t penetrates
to the roots of the hair, stimu-
lating and nourishing them. 1t
is a most pleasant toilet neces-
sity, is delicately perfumed, and
will not gum or permanently
stain the hair.
We want you to get a bottle of
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic and use
it as directed. If it does not re-
lieve scalp irritation, remove
dandruff, prevent the hair from
falling out and promote an in
creased growth of hair, and in
every way give entire satisfac-
ton, simply come back and tell
US, and without question or for
mality we will hand back to you
every penny you paid us for it.

Borrowing to Build.

a four-room house, near town,
has 100 acres of good land worth
from $50 to 500 an acre, free
of debt, has a wife and four
children under thirteen, asks us
whether it would pay him to
borrow 81, 500 or So, 900 at seven
per cent to build a new house.
He will have some stock to sell,
and probably a good deal OF
wheat.
Under these circumstances we
would certainly build. A man
has but one life to live in this
world. His main business is not
to save money, but to live. The
mother of his children is certain
lily entitled to every comfort he
can give her. Under his condi-
L
tions we would certainly build
a new house, even if we had to
borrow, preferably on optional
payments, until it can be made
from the farm.
If our correspondent had writ
ten US that he was. heavily in
debt, we would give him quite
different advice. In that case a
mortgage might imperil the farm
itself; and wife had better put
up with many inconvenience
rather than risk losing the land
itself.
If it were a question of put.
ting up a house on borrowed
money or putting a mortgage on
the farm to buy an eighty, we
would say, build the house. The
addition of another eighty would
increase the wife's burdens.
Building a house would lessen
them, if it is built wisely.
We would not build too big a
house, however. This is a mis-
take many farmers make when
they put off building until they
have surplus money. They build
entirely too large and snowy a
house, forgetting that in the
natural order of events the child
rem will leave the home, make
homes of their own, and then
their will be a large house with
only two people in it, or posi-
bly, three, involving more work
and increasing the wife's bur-
dens rather than leSsening them.
When building a house, we
would not begin without giving
a great deal of time and study to
the planning. Most women (and
most men, too, for that matter)
think they can plan a house that
will be perfect, and often after
it has been built they would like
a chance to build another. Bet
ter consult a good architect; and
if you can find one who has lived
on a farm and understands the
farm point of view, so much
the better. For planning a
house for town is one thing and
planning one for the farm is
quite another.
We would certainly put in the
modern conveniences: hot air fur
mace or hot water, hot and cold
water, both room and toilet. We
would make the distance between
kitchen and dining-room and pan.
try'as short as possible. Many
a farmer does not find it out un-
til it is too late; but a wife's
steps are worth saving, and any
thing that adds to the comfort
of the wife adds to the comfort
and happiness of the family.
Have plenty of closet room.
Remember that money making
is not the main thing in life; and
that it is better to take care of
the mother of your children while.
you have her than to shorten her
lays by needless work, and take

Corn Yields.


will planting butts and tips
insure better fertilization of corn
than the discarding of them? A
lecturer on a corn train said that
an ear of corn did not harden up
all at the same time, but that
the butts hardened first, then
the middle, and lastly the tip OF
the ear, and that therefore the
whole of the ear should be used
for seed, since the different parts
of the ear would not be ready to
receive pollen at the same time.
raised corn for more that thirty
years in Iowa, and in the seven
ties, before we had the horse
planters, many of as used the
whole ear for seed. After the
advent of the hores planter, in
order to get uniform stands, we
discarded the butts and tips, and
as a result l think that my corn
was better cared that bebfore. /
always tested my corn before
planting, and usual found that
the poorest termination was in
the butt kernels"
The butts, tips, and middles
of an ear of corn are very nearly
equal in producing power.
Twenty-six years OF experiment.
ing by six different experiment
stations upon this point gave as
an average yield for the butts
1876 bushels, for the tips 3s.5
bushels, and for the middles 49,
bushels. The difference is so
slight that it might be due to ac-
cident more than to any real
difference in the producing
power. Theoretically, the ker.
uels from various parts of the
ear all have the same heredity
back of them, and consequently
should produce the same, other
things being equal. 1t has been
suggested, however, that the
butts, being larger, would con-
tain more food to start the young
plants off vigorously, and conse-
quently would produce a slightly
larger yield. 1t has also been
suggested that the butt and mid.
die kernels are more likely to be
self-fertilized than the tips. The
reason is that the embryo kerr
nels in the green ear of the corn
become ready for fertilization
first at the butt, and last at the
tip; also the pollen of the tassel
comes out about a week before
any of the silks appear. Thus it
is that the butt and middle kerr
nels are more likely to be self
fertilized than the tip kernels.
Experiments have proved beyond
a doubt that self fertilized corn,
corn whose ears are fertilized by
pollen from the same plant, will
not produce as we'll as does cross
fertilized corn.
Reasoning according to this
theory, the tip kernels should be
more productive, since they be-
come ready for fertilization by
the pollen after most of the pol
len on the mother plant has been
and blown away. On
the other hand, this theory could
be counteracted by the fact that
the tip kernels are generally
smaller and would not be in po-
sition to give the young plant
such a good send-off as the mid
de and butt kernels. Comparing
the terminating power of the
three types of kernels, the Kan
sas station found that under field
conditions IS per cent of the butt
kernels, 90 per cent of the middle
grains, and 20 per cent of the tip
grains produced plants.
If we still planted corn by
hand, it possibly might not pay
