Governor Wilson makes il nlair

Governor Wilson makes it plain
that the tariff is to be the great issue
of the coming campaign. 1t is an
issue that he will cover fully in his
speech of acceptance, and in every
address he will deliver during the
campaign. The Republicans are not
to be allowed to side-step on the great
question of the high cost of living, "at
the heart of which lies the high pro-
tective tariff and the trust evil."-Pe-

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Teach the colt to draw loads by de-
grees.
Gentleness pays best with the colt
or horse.
A draft horse should have a large
chest and square shoulders.
There is no better place to flt colt
for market than on the farm.
A horse that is trained without
blinds is usually the safer horse.
Old ewes and poor breeders should
be fattened now. and sent to the
butcher.
Great care should be used in water
ing the horses. A little and often Is
the best way.
Pork production appeals strongly to
man OF limited means who desires
quick returns
Sheep return to the soil 80 per cent
of fertility of food eaten. Sheep ma
nure is valuable.
Whole grain makes best feed for
sheep. Cleanliness, pure water and
salt are a necessity.
If when the hogs are growing fast
their hind legs become weak, feed a
little bone meal daily.
Examine udder and teats carefully;
see tha, both teats are open or you
may have caked ueder
Sheep have warm wool coats don't
he afraid to turn them out In good
weather, even if it is cold.
The sheep industry cannot reach
perfection until every mongrel dog in
the land is exterminated.
The successful feeding of lambs de-
nands largely on their being offered
great variety of food while in the
yards.
The pigs and the light porkers
should go to the market early.
Oats for the brood sows will pro-
duce better muscle for the pigs;

Single Stool Of
Turkey Red
Wheat.

4 mile-a fact not so remarkable, when
1t is considered that single stool of
wheat may produce more than SO
heads, which necessarily require
great many feeders to keep up the
food supply.
The plant was taken from land
which during the past three years has
grown potatoes and other cultivated
crops. The object lesson it teaches
Is very plain. A proper system OF
summer following or of rotation of
crops together with thorough plowing
and careful maintenance of the sur
face mulch, will permit the moisture
that falls during normal years to be
stored to a considerable depth in the
soil. If the moisture is thus present,
the wheat roots have the power to
forage Into the deep" in search of it.
This fact enables the dry farmer to
mature his crop of grain with little or
40 rainfall during the growing season.

PITifUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"A few days after birth we noticed

the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh SO rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
Not until commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we toll
what he looked like. as we dared not
wash him, and had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came on, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticuxa Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies We could hardly look at him, he
was such pitiful sight. He would
fuss until l would treat him, they
semed to relieve him so much. Cuti-

selected seed from the crop of the
