CLEAN SKIN OF MUCH VALUE
n Pores Are Kept Open Cow 10 More
Apt to Do Healthy--Use con1b

Nature has given all living crea
lures a wonderful covering for the
body. The skin is a most perfect and
yet an exceedingly simple system OF
carrying on impurity and at the same
time Of providing the body with need
ed nourishment from the air. through
the mysterious channels OF absorption.
Every cows body is completely COW
cred with this network OF cells. II
these are kept clean and open. 80
that they may do their work, the COW
will be more apt to be healthy than
~ they become closed. This has been
most strlkingly proven by covering
the bodies Of animals with a sort OF
varnish which will not admit air. and
the poor creatures soon die, their
heart and lungs being fairly engorged
with blood, just as would be the case
n they were smothered.
DO we need anything more TO prove
that II stands us In hand to keep the
bodies Of our cattle clean by the use
of a brush and comb not now and
then, but every day. regularly? II
this be not done. the pores OF the skin
get closed with the dust which is al

at this time Of the year. when we are
feeding hay and other food that Is apt
to I'LL the air with fying particles. AT

cannot digest her food as she would
otherwise, and she requires more food
