CAUSE OF ECZEMA
NOW EXPLAINED

Is there an incurable form of Ec-
Zema?
Some say there is, but the best
skin specialists are now agreed that
the only skin diiase that seems to
resist a cure, is not genuine Eczema,
but an inherited disease, and even
that they believe, will generally
yield to D. D. D. Prescription.
There has been so many extrava-
grant claims for skin cures that in
telligent people have become skep-
tical. They doubt all medicines.
Some deliberately give up" They
think they have tried everying and
now they despair.
We ourselves will not absolutely
promise you an absolute cure. But
we do know a simple cooling wash
of Wintergreen, Thymol, etc, az
piled to the skin has cured a num-
Der of people in this town, and as
it seems, they are permanently
cnred. At any rate this soothing,
cooling wash known as D. D. D. Pre-
scription certainly does take the
itch away. That much you can
prove to your own satisfaction, in
five minutes, for all you need to do
is to rub bit into the skin and
the itch just goes away.
AS. D. D. D. Prescription with its
vegetable ingredients is a great
complexion wash for ladies, and is
also used on babies. it surely can
not harm the tendereSt skin. And
if you want to get rid of the itch at
once, you can now try this standard,
thoroughly scientific and long estab-
lished remedy.

not hurt by the drouth, nor did
their milk cows fall off in yield
nor their stock cattle lose either
in weight or flesh. Those who
had plenty of silage got their
cattle on grass in the spring
without damage to the pastures
and meadows by too early graz
ing, and without the loss of a
couple of weeks time, sometimes
a month, which is inevitable
when cattle are changed sudden
~ from dry feed onto lush grass.
There is no other feed on the
farm so cheap as silage, which
costs, taking into account every
conceivable item, less than two
dollars a ton. If the farmer can
not make so per cent profit by
feeding this silage to his live
stock, he has either a very poor
kind of live stock to which to
feed it, or is q very unskillful
feeder. It would not be difficult
to make 100 per cent profit on it.
The great difficulty in the way,
however, is the filing of the silo.
There is only one way that we
know of to overcome this diff
Guilty; and that it for two or three
farmers to get together, buy
their silos at the same time and
from the same firm, and then
Jointly buy q silage cutter. If
they have no engine convenient,
they would also have to buy that

Total cost of corn silage, per ton. $I.95
1t will be noticed in the above
estimate that every conceivable
item of cost is taken into consid-
Grafton: rent of the land, labor,
the force of men needed to fill
the silo economically, their wages,
cost of running the engine, even
to interest, insurance, deprecia-
ton and repairs. We are salts
fed that the figures are liberal,
that they can be reduced in many
cases, and furthermore, that the
large item of cost, so far as 1t
involves cash, can be eliminated
by the usual custom of farmers
ueighboring with each other in
operations of this kind.
We would not on the average
farm put up a 150.tOn silo. 1t
should be small enough so that
the amount of daily consumption
would require the taking of OF
two inches, and in the summer
silo of four inches. We urge all
our readers to provide for sum-
mer silo. Those of them who
had summer silos last year were

Consider the SiIO.

The advance in the price of
land, involving, as it necessarily
does, an advance in the price of
all the products of the land, is
bringing farmers to see more and
more clearly every year, that
they must change their methods,
if they are to succeed in the flu
ture even as we'll as in the past.
If we do not secure great acre
yield on these high priced lands,
the per cent which it will pay on
the investment will constantly
decline. If we do not make bet
ter use of the yield we have, the
profit we make in feeding 1t to
live stock will also constantly de.
cline, says Wallace's Farmer.
In short, we must have great:
er acre yield, whether it be small
grain, corn, hay or grass, or a
farm will soon cease to be a prof
liable investment. We must make
better use of that yield, if we are
to make anything out of our
live stock. Fortunately our scien-
fists, our agricultural colleges,
our agricultural press, and the
experience of farmers who have
followed their suggestions, are
pointing out a way not merely
for the production of a greater
yield per acre, but for a more
economical use of that yield.
In studying how to use our
own corn crop with the greatest
profit in the direction of dairy
products and meat products, it is
of the utmost Importance that we
consider the silo. By consider
ing" it we mean making a care
full study of what it is doing for
those who have considered and
adopted it.
Dairymen have long since re-
garded it as a necessity, if they
are to produce dairy products at
a profit. Cattle growers and cat
tie feeders are beginning to find
that it is almost as valuable in
their line of business as it is to
the dairyman. Farmers who are
not dairymen in a strict sense of
the word, but patrons of cream
cry, milking few cows to get a
double profit as milk producers
and producers of feeding steers,
if they will but make a study OF
the subject, will find it to be
really an absolute necessity in
order to make a profit.
We hope that our readers who
have eighty acres of land and
over, and who are engaged in
any kind of live stock business,
will make serious study of the
advantages of the silo, and be-
gin it just now, when they are
planning for their corn crop. If
we can get them persuaded to
grow a crop of corn for silage,
with a full understanding of what
silage means in the farm econo-
my, we shall have little fear but
that before September a silo will
be built and ready to be filed.
They will need to study pretty
carefully the size of silo they
want; for a good many farmers
have made mistakes in building
silos too large. If any of our
readers will write us and tell us
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1912-06-06

the number of live stock they
have and the character, whether
milk cows, stock cattle or feed
ing steers, we will advise them
as to the size of the silo they
should build, and thus avoid re-
peating the mistakes of others
and, in fact, some of our own,
Many hesitate because they do
not know how cheaply silage can
be put into the silo. To give
them reliable information on this
point, we published last year es-

er, of Minnesota, based not on
theory, but on reports from &C
tual silo users in four states:

CHILD LABOR HERE AND IN RUSSIA.

IT N some respects despotic Russia is more humane than free
America is. A report from the United States bureau of
manufactures gives facts about the cotton mill labor laws
of Russia that should shame our country. Children under
~ may not be employed at all and night labor is barred for
minors from IL up to II years and for all women. Contrast
this with conditions in the United States as recently set forth
10000 children under ID years old in textile mills, 1900 in glass
factories, 10000 in tobacco factories, 10000 in sawmills and
$4,000 in the messenger service. Thousands of mere tots, some of
them 4 and s years old, work in Southern cotton mills, and, as
a medical Investigator puts il, "the annual offering of 100 babies
fingers is made to the great god of greed" The same authority
finds two and a half millions of children under 16 employed in
American factories and 5000 in coal mines. The comment of
our federal bureau on the Russian system is that "aIl the laws
appear to be strictly observed by the cotton mills and there is
notable absence of small children in the factories Will any
American dare make a like boast, even in States where is is
the minimum legal age for factory labor, as in New Jersey?
