CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUM0R

II think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema have
ever heard Of. My mother had child
who had a rash on its head when It
was real young. Doctor called !: baby
rash. He gave US medicine. but It did
no good. In few days the head was
a solid mass, running sore. It 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 a beau.
tiful head Of hair. think the Cuti.
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
Il makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City, Utah. Sept. 10. 1910.

ment are sold everywhere, sample

mailed free on application to "Cuti'
cura," Dept. L. Boston.

INCREASE IN NUMBER
OF AMERICANS
GOING TO CANADA

Although Western Canada suffered,
a. did many other portions Of the
west, from untoward conditions, which
turned one Of the most promising
crops ever seen In that country, into
but little more than an average yield
Of all grains, there 10 left In the
farmers hands, big margin Of profit.
OF course there were many farmers
who were fortunate enough to harvest
and market a big yield, and with the
prices that were secured made hand
some returns. From wheat, oats, bar
ley and max marketed to the LIST Of
January, 1912, there was q gross rev.
enue Of $75,3S4,000. The cattle, hogs,
poultry and dairy proceeds brought
this up to SOL, $40. 900 or 81 million
dollars in excess of 1910. There was
still In the farmers hands at that
time about 95 million bushels Of wheat
worth at least another sixty-nve mil
lion dollars following for inferior
grades). besides about 100 million
bushels Of oats to say nothing Of bar
ley and fax, which would run into sew
eral million Of dollars.
There is q great thrush Of settlers
to occupy the vacant lands through
out Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
berta. The reports from the Govern
ment show that during the past year
upwards Of $4,000 Americans crossed
the border into Canada. A great many
Of these took up farms. over ten thou
sand having homesteaded. In fact the
records show that every state in the
Union contributed. A larger number,
not caring to go 80 far away as the
homesteading area, have purchased
lands at from fifteen dollars an acre
to twenty-five dollars an acre. The
prospects for a good crop for 1912
are as satisfactory as for many years.
The land has had sunicient moisture,
and with reasonably early spring, 1t
is safe to predict record crop.
Those who have not had the latest
literature sent out by the Government
agents should send to the one nearest,
and secure copy.

PROTECT THE HONEY MAKERS
Bees Should Have Neither Wind or
Sunshine During WInter-Empty
Building 10 Best.

Put your bees in q sheltered place
until next spring. They should be
sheltered from both the wind and the
sun. Probably the best place to keep
them through the winter is in an
empty building. There is no danger
Of bees freezing In the coolest
winter II they are protected from
the wind. When not protected during
q blizzard they are often frozen by
the chilling wind. II the sun strikes
them q cold spell coming immediate
~ after warm weather finds the bees
unprepared for It. Changes in tenn
perature also cause the bees to eat
more honey than when an even tenn
perature Is maintained. Thus, II the
food supply is short, there is danger
of them starving before spring dow
ers bloom.
When an empty building Is not
available straw Is often packed around
the hive and held in place by q box q
little larger than the hive. This is
not 50 satisfactory as the first method
suggested, for bees are often forgot
ten after a snow storm and are smoth-
cred before the snow melts from the
entrance. II they are given plenty Of
food and good protection in the fall
and then left alone there will be Wig
orous swarm ready to make honey in
the spring.

II the vegetables are whitening,
pack them in moist sand.
If the parsnips are frozen in, use a
railroad pick to get them out.
The fall plowed land should not be
worked, but should be left rough over
winter.
It is a question whether the wagons
or carts are the most desirable vehicle
on a farm.
Many farmers now have hand press
es and by this means have sweet ci-
der all winter.
The profits edge Of farming laps
over and rests upon the business desk
and farm account book.
Any warm winter day when the soil
is open is good time to make prepare
lions for next springs hotbed.
It IL much better to apply a little
manure to- our land often than q
large quantity at longer intervals.
If good roads from the producer to
the consumer were general, the bene-
fits to both would be considerable.
Land plaster gives results on new
land by making the potash in the soil
more available for the use Of plants.
Don't be afraid Of getting the soil
around the asparagus too rich. The

Manure should be stored under a

from It.
Steel silos are growing IA favor,

Farm Helm.

Farm Help.
The solution of the farm help prob
lem lies largely with the farmers
themselves, according to my way Of
thinking. II farmers will arrange
their work or reorganize their meth
DDS 20 they can keep men all the year
around instead Of picking up Tom,
Dick aud Bill as they stray out into
the country during the rush season Of
harvest, pay all they can afford, give
the men good living quarters and help
them to keep out Of the mire of ignol-
afice and Indifference by encouraging
the better side Of their nature. they
will not only secure a much higher
type Of workman, but perform a real
service to humanity. Just keep in
mind that we are brothers all-rich
and poor, farmer and hired man-and
that every man is entitled to a square
deal.-A Hired Man.

probably it will be found handler to
use the solder in the form of a wire.
though later a bar will be found to
be convenient.
Having secured the outfit the first
thing is to "tin" the point. To do
this, file the beveled surface down
bright, and heat in the stove (gas,
gasoline, wood or coaD until hot
enough to melt the solder.
Then with a small, fiat stick smear
the surfaces with the acid and rub
the end Of the solder over them
Gig. u.
If it does not melt freely get the
Golfer hotter. After timing the point
try not to get 1t SO hot it will burn
of; in case you do, however. retin by
the same process.
If the timing is not on, the Golfer
will not pick up solder nor melt it
freely.
For starter let us try leaky pan.
Sandpaper or scrape clean around the
hole and smear with acid. Take the
Golfer properly heated and set the
point on the hole, applying the solder
as shown in Fig. 2. Watch and see
it run freely (you can tell at once il
1t fuses properly, and remove the
Golfer.
II the Golfer gets cold. take tho
other one which should also be in the
fire. The work may be done equally
well inside the pan.
If the hole is too large, cut small
piece Of tin and put over the hole,
having first used the acid on both
patch and pan. Put the Golfer on top
Of the patch, and when sufficiently
hot run the end Of the solder wire
around the patch. It should melt
readily. Hold down with the Golfer
or stick until the solder runs.
This, briefly is the problem Of SOL
dering. Other applications will be
readily solved once one is familiar
with the tools.
Most metals can be soldered; not,
however, cast iron or aluminium. In
the case Of galvanized iron or zinc,
use muriatic acid straight. As more
skill is acquired, you will be able to
pick up solder on the point of the
Golfer, when you can buy solder by
the bar.

SOLDERING OUTFIT IS HANDY
Probably No investment Farmer Can
Make That Will Pay az Big =
Percentage Of Profit.
(By E. B. rUTrLE.)

(By e. B. TUTTLE.)
There is probably no investment
the farmer can make that will pay
the percentage of profit that a SOL
dering-kit will. Reduced to its low
est terms a Golfer can be bought for
s6 cents, acid cents and solder wire
10 cents.
It will be better, however, to buy
two Golfers, IN or TX pounds each,
which should not cost more than Is
cents per pair. Using two, one can
DO heating while the other is in use.
