This important feature, however, is
generally omitted, or carried on in
such a way as to result in very little

most profitable and fascinating OF the
fruit-grower's occupations.

my hair fell out. My coat collar would

try them. shampooed my head
with Cuticura Soap twice q week and
after drying my head thoroughly, I
anointed parts Of my scalp with Cuti-

the outset, and continued to keep up
this treatment. To think that only
three cakes Of Cuticura Soap and n
and one-half boxes of Cuticura Oint-

trouble made me feel quite contented.

GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS

rather than about it's heart, which he

tobacco and very red in the face.

return for his CASTOR clothes. So 1t

bunch Of beautiful roses, which he at
once dispatched to her house. In
sure anticipation Of a friendly well
come, he called on the young woman
that evening. He got q frosty recep-
ton.

today?" he was finally forced to ask.

"You did. A disgraceful note,

We are inclined to doubt somewhat,
the statement that it requires no ex-
ira power, because it seems to us that
the rotary harrow wide enough to COW
er two broad burrows dragged behind
the plows would make quite a differ
ence in the work of the team.
However, as many of these attach

in the west, 1t is quite evident that
they are regarded with favor by pro
