CHlLD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUMOR

II think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema l have
ever heard of. My mother had a child
who had rash on its head when it
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave US medicine, but 1t did
no good. In few days the head was
a solid mass. a running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got dollar bottle Of Cuticura Re-
solvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
1t has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had beau
tiful head Of hair. / think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very good for the hair
It makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City. Utah, Sept. 10, 1910
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold everywhere. a sample

Extensive Demand for Products In
Newly Settled Regions--Develop-
ment Urgently Needed.

''In much of the west cattle raising
for beef has long been the principal
business" said Secretary Wilson. but
dairying is comparatively new. There
is an extensive market, however, for
dairy pr oducts; and especially in the
newly settled regions it is found that
the dairy industry fills such place
In agricultural economy that it's de-
velopment is urgently needed.
In addition, special enterprise
has been undertaken with creamery
patrons in Iowa, the object being to
determine whether II will pay cream
cries to carry on the same sort of
work among their own farmer patrons
for the sake of getting a better quail
ity of cream as material for making
butter. Here, also, record keeping
has been introduced, along with other
improved methods, and the effort is
made to discover the leaks that re-
duce profits.
In the older states Of the north,
where dairying is already an estab-
lished industry, the work Of the de-
partment outside of advice to individ-
uals upon request, consists chiefly in
the propagation OF cow-testing asso.
Citations and the improvement OF city
milk supplies. Contrasting associa-
tons are societies for cooperating In
the keeping OF herd records by en-
| gaging man who goes from farm to
farm periodically, makes observations,
and keeps records for the herds of all
| the members of the association. BY
this means records are secured with.
out the trouble or expense involved
when each man keeps them for him
self; and in various other ways the
cooperation of the farmers is produc-
tive of profit.o The primary objects
are to detect and weed out inferior
individual COWS, and by the use of
purebred bulls to perpetuate and in
tensify the valuable characteristics Of
the COWS that are found to be good
ones-thus raising the average quail
ity Of the individual COW and the to-
tai productiveness Of the herd. There
are S5 cow-testing associations now In
20 states, comprising $4,000 COWS.
"The records of one Of these asso-
Citations show that the profit was
doubled after four years work. For
instance, man with eight cows
found, the first month of keeping rec
ords, that he was losing five and one
half cents per COW, or A cents on his
herd for that month. After three
months testing he was making a
profit of 1872 month on the herd, and
at the end of the year his profits had
increased to $50 month. This not
able increase was due largely to the
sale of five Of his poorest cows, and
the purchase of as many well-produc-
ing ones to take their places. In addi-
ton, there were changes made in the
methods OF feeding which conduced to
the result"

HER WELl-MERlTED REPROOF

A weil-known educator tells Of a
school Of advanced ideas in Boston,
wherein no pupil is ever punished in
any way. the individuality of every
child being held too sacred for repres-
sion.
One day, it appears, soon after her
entrance into this school, one little
girl came home with face wet with
tears and her mouth covered with
blood.
The mother was greatly alarmed,
and, taking the child into her arms,
asked what had happened
The story of what had happened was
sobbed out to the sympathetic mother.

DAAIWNO!ES

Palatability is an important feature
of good dairy rations.
Facilities for handling milk are Civ.
ing an impetus to the market.
Don't let the cows out in the storms
to stand around. 1t doesn't pay.
1t is rather a difficult task to dry
up a COW when in full flow Of milk.
If COW has habit of side-stepping
while milking, examine your finger
nails.
A COW producing average testing
milk should yield from 1000 to 5000
pounds of milk in year.
Gentleness and patience with the
heifer that has calved for the first
time will win out every time.
Just after the COW has freshened
she should have the same feeds she
has been given previous to calving.
To feed cows protitably without
some home grown sort of protein, such
as the leguminous hays. is difficult.
Sweet corn is one of the very best
crops to grow TO feed as soiling
crop to the dairy cows In summer.
1t is best to reduce the milk pro
ducing food, so that mature COW will
dry and rest for a month to six weeks
before calving.
Be good to the cows. These mos,
useful animals are a safe investment
