FACE A SIGHT WITH letter

Moberly, Monty trouble began
with a small pimple on the left side of
my face and it spread all over my
face and to my neck. 1t would be scar
let red when I got warm. My face
was a sight. 1t looked very unpleas-
ant, and it felt uncomfortable. My
face was something awful; it just kept
me in agony all the time. Some said
it was letter, and some said it was
that awful eczema, but I rather think
it was letter. l had been troubled
with it for about two years and tried
many remedies. but got no relief until
I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
when I would wash my face with
the Cuticura Soap and apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment it would cool my skin
and draw great big drops of matter
out of the skin. You would think I
was sweating; it would run down my
face just as though I had washed it.

In the day time most. I used the Cuti.

a month and l was cured Of it." (Sign.

ONE TREATMENT FOR HEAvEs
Disease Is incurable, but May Be
PaiiIated by Feeding Easily Di-
oested Nutritive Food.

(By DIR. ]. H. STANDISH. Nova Scotia
Department of Agriculture.)
Repeated gorging of the stomach
with food or water, and often both.
is the cause of heaves. The symp-
toms are deep breathing. evidenced
by the expanding nostrils and double
lifting of the tanks, both Of which
are Increased If the animal is forced
up a grade at a fast trot or gallop
when the stomach Is ~distended with
food or water; generally, also, a hack
ing cough, mostly in the morning.
The disease is fncurable, but may
be palliated by feeding easily digested
nutritive food in small quantities. Give
such food as early cut, we'll cured,
clean timothy hay. preferably damp
ened with weak lime water, oats.
wheat bran, flax seed ground. and in
winter roots, carrots, turnips, mangels
or sugar beets; the oats to be boiled
twice a week. Give four drains of
ginger and two drains of baking soda
in the food at night, or oil OF tar in
dessert spoonful doses. In some
cases better results are secured by
alternating these daily or weekly, and
in some cases are benefited by four to
ten grain doses of white arsenic once
a day. But care in feeding and water
ing is necessary in any treatment. Dat
straw, if early cut and well cured, is
often preferable to hay. In either
case. shake the hay or straw to re-
move alldust.

WINTER CARE FOR THE CALF
Who're Youngsters are Raised on
Skimmilk They should Be Taught
to Eat Grain Early.

(By c. H. ECkLEs. Dsiryman. Missouri
Agricultural College.)
The calf which is to be raised on
sk1mmilk should be taught to eat
grain early. When they have access
to 1t. many begin eating grain at two
weeks Of age. The grain should be
placed in = box where they can easily
get to 1t and they can be encouraged
at frst by placing q little in their
mouth after they have consumed their
milk Grain can best be fed dry after
the milk Is fed. In no case should 1t
bo fed in the milk as In that case 1t
win be gulped down without chewing,
which is bad for the digestion. No
more grain should be given than will
b eaten up twice each day, which
viii not be more than one-half pound
daily for the first two months. After
this they may have MORE. but it will
o be necessary TO feed more than
n pound per day up to six months
unless 1t Ia desired to push them rap
idly. II grain Is allowed to remain
in the trough, it often becomes damp
and decayed, and may cause sickness,
just as dirty pals may do.
In feeding grain one must keep in
mind that the object is to supply fat
which Is deficient in the skimmilk.

BIG ASSISTANCE TO FARMER
Smart Buyers of Live Stock Make
Good Money Outguessing Own
ers-ScaIes Prove Profitable.
(By A HIRED MANI


Our boss says: "No more guess
work for me-" He has put in a pair
of scales, having found out man
years too late hat scales make
knowledge definite. Before ! put in
the scales" says the boss, II did not
know anything for certain and sure"
Smart buyers Of live stock count on
making good money just because they
r better gu%essers than farmers and
they are always anxious to buy on a
guess. You can bet your last dollar
that these fellows never view a farm
scale with a friendly eye. A man feels
mighty cheap to learn hat some slick
buyer has bought his hogs at guess
weights and sold them at advances
ranging from 25 to so pounds per
head. In these days there is no rea-
sonable excuse for farmers to per
sist in selling their stock and crops
at a guessed weight. A set of farm
scales furnish facts that help to put
farming on a business basis.

FLOWING IS HARD ON HORSES
Few Teams That Arr Not Doing Ten
to Thirty Per Cent Of Unnsess-
cary Work In Fields.
lRy f. w. HAMILToNA

(by r. w. HAVMlLIONO
Flowing is at best the hardest work
Jul farm horses have to perform. Few
pillow teams are not doing 10 to 80 per
cent of ~necessa work. The writ
er has seen plows which he believed
were pulling so per cent harder than
they should.
We are told that about SO per cent
Of the draft of . pillow is due to tho
cutting of the furrow slice. The con-
dition Of the cutting edge must then
be of first Importance. Expert plow-
men recognize this and In competi-
tons file their shares to knife edges.
One authority claims that an old
share resharpened has shown So per
CEN heavier draft than q new share.
Again, engine plows of the same make
and size have under the same condi-
tons showed IS per cent difference In
draft in favor of the new freshly fled
shares over resharpened shares in or
binary condition. 1t will certainly pay
to keep the pillow shares sharp and In
proper form.
The set and adjustment of a pillow
is almost as much to do with the
draft as condition Of the share. A
riding plow with rear furrow wheel
should pull little or no harder than a
walking pillow or plows Of the same
widths. Yet how many do 1t? About
80 per cen of the draft of a walking
pillow is due to the friction of the pillow
on the bottom and side Of the fur
row. In the riding pillow this friction
is eliminated by carrying the weight
and down and side pressure of pillow
bottom on wheels. To accomplish this
the rear furrow wheel is set out about
an inch and a quarter SO that land
side cannot touch the side furrow.
The wheel Is also set down so the
heel Of Landslide IL raised one half to
th~ree-fourths inches OF bottom Of fur
row. When so set the plow bottom
will sink into the ground and hang
there. When pillow bottoms float" in
the frame none of the bottom and
side pressure Is removed and the draft
of the bottoms Is the same as hat Of
the walking plows to which must be
added that due to weight Of plow
frame and driver.

in various departments of the Sunday
