RASH SPREAD TO ARMS

Sat first l noticed small eruptions on
my face. The trouble began as a rash.
It looked like red pimples. In a few
days they spread to my arms and back.
They itched and burned so badly that
I scratched them and of course the re-
suit was blood and matter. The erup-
tons festered, broke, opened and dried
up, leaving the skin dry and scaly. l
spent many sleepless nights, my back,
arms and face burning and itching;
sleep was purely and simply out of
the question. The trouble also caused
Disagreement. My clothing irritated
the breaking out.
"By this time I had used several
well-known remedies without success.
The trouble continued. Then l began
to use the sample of Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. Within seven or eight
days I noticed gratifying results. /
purchased a full-sized cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and a box of Cuticura Oint-
ment and in about eighteen or twenty

Full Ration
Three Quarters Ration
Ration Of Na1nt enanoe


The first line illustrates the proper
feeding of a heavy producing COW,
which is usually the one underfed.
The line A to c represents the total
capacity of the animal for food, or a
full ration. The first half, from A to
B, represents the amount of food re-
quired to maintain the animals body,
or the ration of maintenance. The
second half, that portion from B to G,
represents the portion of food used
for the production of milk. In this
case there is no fat being produced on
the animals body. The COW is sup
posed to be of such dairy quality that
all the feed she can consume in ex-
cess of maintenance is used in milk
production.
The next line represents what
would happen if the feed of the ami
NAL was reduced one-fourth. The ra-
ton Of maintenance remains practic-
ally the same as in the first case. The
cut of one-fourth will be seen to come
entirely on that available for milk pro-
duction, and reduces that amount one
half.
Suppose that the ration OF such a
COW be still further reduced to one
half Of the full ration, or that re-
quired for maintenance alone, as rep
resented by the third line. In this
case the cutting down of the ration
one-half would remove all available

ROYALTY WELCOMES THE
AMERICAN SETTLER
HIS ROYAL HIeHNEss, THE DUKE
OF coNNAUGHT, WELCOMES
AMERICANS TO CANADA.

1t was a happy speech, that on that
beautiful October day, the Duke Of
Connaught, Governor-G General of Can
ada, made at Macleod, Alberta. 1t
was an opportune speech, heartful
and resonant with good fellowship.
And, as it was specially intended for
American ears, the audience, COM
prised largely of 30 many American
settlers in Canada, the time and place
could not have been better chosen.
1t was n reply to an address of well
come rendered to him at the pretty
city Of Macleod, with the foothills Of
the Rockies Is a setting, and the
great wheat fields between, and in
fact all around the place as the fore
ground, that His Highness, true to the
best interests of the country and to
those of the Americans who choose
to make Canada their home, said in
part:
Il am well aware that among those
whom I am now addressing, there are
a very great proportion who were not
born under the British flag. Most of
these will have realized by now that
residence under that flag implies no
disabilities. All we ask is that the
laws of Canada should be obeyed.
with this provision every one is
free to come and go, to marry, to live
and to die as seems best to him, and
as it pleases Providence.
I'VE bring no pressure to bear on
anyone to adopt the Canadian nation
ality, for we do not value citizenship
which is obtained under compulsion.
sour American cousins are welcome
from over the border. Thrice we well
come our Canadian and British broth
ers, who return to the Union Jack, aft
er living under the Stars and Stripes.
History is repeating itself. For
many years hundreds of young Brit
ishers have sought fortune in the
western States. Time has brought
about a change, and the tide has set
in the other direction, bringing across

feed for milk production. However,
the animal would not quit producing
milk at one The milk-producing
function is so strong that the COW
will continue to produce milk fol
some time, even when the feed is in.
sufficient, utilizing the reserve ma
terial which has been accumulated in
the body in the past.
AS a rule, all heavy-milking cows
decline in weight for the first two or
three weeks, and occasionally for ten
weeks, after calving. This means that
milk production has been in excess Of
feed supplied for that purpose. The
same thing happens in the Ease of a
COW that is not being fed a sufficient
ration for the amount of milk she is
producing. She may continue to pro-
duce considerable milk for a while by
drawing on the reserve material of
the body. AS soon as this is exhaust
ed the production of milk must come
down to the ration available for that
purpose, above the ration of mainte-
nance.
How to Avoid Overlooking.
While the foregoing applies to one
class of dairy COWS, there is another
class to which 1t does not apply, and
applying it to this class would lead to
serious mistakes in feeding from an
economical standpoint. This group in
cludes those of lower productive ca
pacity, which are liable to be overfed,
especially when they are in the herds
of dairymen who realize the necessity
of liberal feeding.
The proper feeding of this group of
animals can be made clearer by the
following illustration.

Full Ration
B c
Economical Ration
uunRzzwf

The line A to d represents the
amount of feed that an animal of this
class will consume. A to B repre-
sents the ration of maintenance. In
this case, however, the capacity for
making milk is not equal to the ca
pacity of the animal for utilizing feed
in excess Of that required to maintain
the body. The amount which the COW
is capable of utilizing for milk pro-
duction is represented by that portion
of the line B to G, while the animals
appetite is equal to the total line A to
D. This gives a surplus, G to d, which
is not utilized for milk production. but
which is used for storing fat on the
animals body.
We have the COW gaining in weight
while she is giving milk. This gain
in weight will be of no service as far
as milk production is concerned, ex-
cept that it is Of some value as a re-
serve material. 1t is not economical
or desirable to fatten dairy animals
with the expensive feeds that are fed
COWS in milk. That portion of the
feed represented by the line CD
should be taken from the ration. This
means reducing her feed to take off
that amount used for storing fat on
the body. In other words, to feed her
only what she will utilize in milk pro-
duction. This means feeding enough
to maintain a practically uniform
body weight.
In every large herd, where the
amount fed is not carefully regulated,
we find errors made in both these
classes. We find the heavy-producing
cows being underfed, and we find the
light-producing cows being overfed
and allowed to accumulate fat.
