CHILD'S FACE ALL RED SPOTS

my little nephew, a boy of four
years, had a breaking out on his face.
It was little red spots at first, then
he would rub and scratch and water
blisters would form, and wherever the
water would run another would come

He would cry and fret. His mother
got some medicine, but it did not do
any good. He would scream and cry
and say it hurt. We hardly knew him,
his little face was all red spots and
blisters. So l begged him to let me
put some Cuticura Ointment on them.
The next morning l made a strong
soap suds with Cuticura Soap and

Hardly. You heard what he said

He stepped forward into the open
doorway, and blew three shriIl blasts
on a silver whistle. The echo had
scarcely died away, when, out from
a thick clump Of trees perhaps half a
mile distant, a horse shot forth, rae
ing toward us. AS the reckless rider

The boy, grinning happily, swung
MS horse around, and, jabbing his sides
with bare heels, rode madly away di.
~ectly south across The vacant land.
Within five minutes he had vanished
down a sharp incline. Farrell was still
staring after him, when l asked:
What Is it?"
"A little bit Of private war" he
said grimly. "If you'll go with me to-

RAILWAY BUSINESS In 1912.

During period of expanding bust
ness profits at first usually rise more
rapidly than expenses. That this has
not been the case with the railway of
the United States during the recent
high tide of traffic is shown by their
returns for the calendar year 1912.
The total operating revenue is their
total receipts from freight and pas
senger traffic, from carrying mail
and express and from miscellaneous
sources. Operating income is the
amount which after all expenses have
been paid remains for rentals, interest
on bonds, appropriation for better
ment, improvement, new construction
and for dividends.
The total receipts of the railways

keep them growing, and they stay
runty.
A trough arranged with Vshaped
partitions set strongly in the trough
would give the little fellows an equal
show with the big ones, and the
weaker ones could get their share OF
food. A handy man can make such a
trough arrangement in an hour or so,
and even the growth of his pigs
would more than pay for the trouble.

of the East we're S1511 per mile higher
than for 1911, but operating income
gained only S240. The total receipts
of the railways of the South increased
1892 mile for the year, but operating
income suffered loss of 500. The
railways in the West gained 1926 per
mile in operating income, which Off
set the loss of approximately the same
amount in the previous year. 1t the
closing six months of 1912 be alone
considered the situation was not so
unfavorable but even for this perid OF
mounting traffic the increase in eX
penses outran the increase in receipts.
That the funds available for develop
ing and extending the railways have
not kept pace with the growth in
traffic or the increased expenses OF
operation is shown by the following
percentages. For the railways Of the
East the total operating revenues in
creased 70 per cent, operating ex-
D0uSoo 90 POI OOhO3 oio eo-AOo O-o-S
per cent, leaving an increase in
operating income of 4.3 per cent.
For the railways of the South total
operating revenues increased 40 per
cent, operating expenses 8.4 per cent,
and taxes 2.8 per cent, leaving a de-
crease in operating income Of four
per cent. The unusual traffic of the
West enabled the railways of that sec
ton to obtain an increase of ga per
cent operating income, which just
about balances the LOSSES sustained
during 1911.
The foregoing figures are all upon
the mile of line basis and were COM
piled by the Bureau of Railway Econ
omics from the reports made to the
Interstate Commerce Commission by
railways having total annual operat-
ing revenues of one million dollars or
over. These include about ninety per
cent of the steam railway mileage of
the United States.

HULBERT'S HERD MAKING RECORD.

Eastern COWS freshening for the
first time on the LaConner Flats
Stock Farm, have made very decld-
ed increase in the dairy output of
milk. Since last fall several pure bred
COWS have become fresh and did so
very we'll that they caused very close
accounts to be kept on themselves as
we'll as the balance of the herd. The
COW Ferndale Countess, whose like
ness appeared in recent issue of The
Argus started this good work when
she gave birth to calf valued at S4OO,
and followed this up with ten gallons
of 3. 8 milk per day for several weeks.
Juno Korndyke, her stable mate, did
equally as we'll although her chances
we're none the best. One month be-
fore she calved, she just finished 20
day trip of $500 miles across the con-
tinent Yet under these conditions
she reached maximum yield of "a. D
pounds or over II gallons per day.
Common laborers some times make
no more money than these two COWS
have returned to their owner. They
have produced since the first of De-
cember, 400 pounds of butter fat
worth S1722O at current creamery
prices, and 10, 800 pounds of skinned
milk worth, at the low figure of %
cents per hundred, $26.25, making a
total for the two COWS in 80 days OF
S199. As or an average of $1.21 each
per day. This would help along q
little as pin money.
AS good a showing as this was it is
oyershadOWed by the work OF four
other COWS. How we'll pleased would
the owner of twelve COWS be if he
could sell four cans of milk daily this
time of year? How many dairymen
with twenty COWS are sending away
more than four cans these winter
DAYS? Yet evey day the last two
weeks four COWS in this herd have
produced, under strict official test,
four cans and often more and one OF
these only a heifer.
This is all very we'll. There are
some good COWS in every herd. But
how many COWS can be found that will
compare with Ferndale Canary, hall
sister to Ferndale Countess? This
COW in official test made 27.5 pounds
of butter IN seven days and 81.
pounds in fourteen consecutive days.
Still it is said Holsteins are not good
butter COWS.
But what about the scrubs III
this herd? A little observation would
make that word seem very harsh wheI
applied to the poorest looking crltter
