LOOK AFTER SMALL DETAILS
PRACTICAL Farmer VIII Take Advan-
tage of Bad Weather to Mend
and Oil His Harness.

practical farmer will look after
the small details. He will take advan-
tage of all bad weather when he cannot
work out of doors, to mend and oil all
of his harness and gear, see that the
double and single-trees are all In good
shape with clips all tight; see that his
plows are all in good shape with sharp
points and his harrcws and cultivators
ready for use. He will keep his stock
all In good working order so they will
be strong and ready to do a full days
work as soon as the weather will per
NIT. Then when the first good wealth
er comes he can put In whole days
work. The impracticable farmer will
be getting ready and going to the field
with his gear tied up with strings. his
chains tied with wire. clips loose on
single and double-trees and many
times he win stop In the middle OF
the field and go to the house for
strings to tie his gears or wire to
tie his chains or nails to fasten
clips.
The majority of such farmers talk
about being practical farmers. They
are anything but practical farmers.
Such men are often down on their
knees in the middle of the field with
a piece Of brick trying to rub off the
rust from their plow, caused by leav-
ing it out when 1t should have been
put under a shed as soon as the last
plowing was done. Everything goes
wrong with these impractical farm
ers and they wonder why they are
not as prosperous as their practical
farmer neighbor.
One of the most important and hu-
name features for the practical farm
er to look after is the care OF the
horses shoulders. Galded or sore
shoulders are caused by neglect
Early in the spring many of the
horses and mules shoulders are ten
der. and after the days work should
be bathed In cold water The next
morning every particle of the accu-
mulated sweat and dirt should be re-
moved from the collars and back
bands. and the collars should be beat
en- gently with a perfectly smooth
round stick. They will keep the
collars we'll up on the horses, neck
and off the points of their shoulders.
and the horses will have no sore
necks. These are a few of the
things that every practical farmer will
do.

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

When my first baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
scale. Then 1t would break out
again and 1t spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
1t kept spreading until it was on his
hands and arms. bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time.
He had 1t about six months when
friend told me about Cuticura. l sent
and got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
cake Of Cuticura Soap and box OF
Cuticura Ointment In three days
after using them he began to i'm
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles of Resolvent, two
boxes Of Ointment and three cakes of
Soap he was sound and we'll, and never
had any breaking out of any kind His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. I don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-

greatest amount OF milk possible
each year. with due regard to the
health Of the animals. If this is done,
the old COWS will still be giving a
large mess of rich milk.
Many old cows are still proving
profitable because they have had the
right kind of treatment. They are not
overfed at one season of the year and
underfed at another. They are not
given green pasture at one time of
year and forced to content them
selves with dry forage for six months
of the year.
The silo is the greatest help In the
right feeding of cows, for 1t gives a
food product that is easy on the d.
gestive organs Of the cows and gives
succulent food the year around. The
little wear on the vitality of the ami
NAL brings them to old age in good
