ERUPTION ON ANKLE BURNED

Kingsville, Mo.-"My trouble began
eighteen years ago. Nearly half of

SCAtES ON FARM
GOOD INVESTMENT
Average Farmer Does Not Real.
ize How Much He Loses Each
Year by Lack of Device.
(By r. b. RUSHING.)


do not believe the average farmer
realizes how much he loses each year
because he has not q pair of good,
reliable scales located on the farm.
Nearly all Of the farmers produce is
sold by weight, and 1t is not enough
to stand by and see 1t weighed on the
buyers scales. You should have set
of your own in your yard so that you
may be sure you are getting all you
are entitled to. l do not mean to In
sinuate that buyers are dishonest, but
mistakes are sometimes too easily
made.
II you feed a number Of hogs you
should have pair Of platform scales
to weigh them on when you COM
mence to feed them, and then by
weighing the grain that Is fed them
you should be able to tell whether
you were doing 1t at profit and how
much. When you are ready to deliver
to marfet 1t takes just few minutes
to weigh your wagon empty and again
after the hogs are loaded, and then
you are able to tell where you are.
OF course you must allow little for
shrinkage. From my own experience
would say fat hogs will shrink about
two pounds apiece. drawing four
miles.
Here in southern Illinois many of
the hogs and cattle are sold to the
buyers, who come and buy them at
the farm, and unless a pair OF scales
are at hand they are generally lump
ed of. This. Of course, is too rncer.
tain. The buyers are buying all the
time and are very apt to make price
that is more than safe for themselves.
Besides there is not the satisfaction
in the deal that there Is where you
see them weighed on your own
scales.
When you 90 to the market to buy
piece Of meat or to the grocery for
sugar 1t is never Jumped of, but care
fully weighed. and / believe that 1t
is poor rule that won't work both
ways. II 1t pays these people to have
scales. why. will It not pay you?
II you are farmer that does not
feed stock. but sell your hay and
grain to feeders, YOU certainly do
need pair Of scales. You cannot
afford to guess on load OF hay. What
you would lose In this way in a year
would usually buy pair OF good
scales II you do much business. If
you sell your corn to feeders you are
liable TO lose money by guessing of
a crib Of corn or by measuring It.
This. as you plainly see, Is rot q safe
way to do business.
When you draw your wheat, oats or
rye to market and try to load about
the same every time you may find
that the loads vary 200 pounds or
more. No use to kick, unless you
kick yourself because you have not
bought pair Of scales. for they are
constantly being advertised in the
best farm journals.
The first year had my scales got
enough more money on two deals to
half pay for the scales. One was a
load Of wheat that fell short 500
pounds, and the other was wool, and
still some will say II does not pay to
bother with weighing everything you
sell. They are satisfied as long as
they can see the weighing done, but
even this Is not always safe.

Revenue Cutter Service

Though the winter cruising season is
not due to open FOR two weeks. the
vessels of the service are having as many
calls TO aid ships in trouble as they often
do in the middle Of winter. when the de-
man6 for the services of the cutters IS
supposed to be at its greatest. The re-
cent gales on the great lakes have given
the cutter Morrell plenty OF work TO do.
and while no reports have as yet been
received from Capt. Carmine. the service
officials have been notified that he is
cruising on Lakes Erie and Huron. IN
search of vessels disabled by the big gale.
A day or two before the coming of
the big storm ii had been planned TO
place the Morrell ont of service for about
fifteen days while a new steam heating
outfit was installed on The vessel, but
the storm came. bringing with ii many
marine disasters and the officials in
charge OF the service at once wired Capt
Carmine to keep his ship in readiness
for duty and TO postpone the insta LA ton
of her heating plant until she is laid up
for the winter. She was sent to the aid
OF the steamer c. ]. Grammon. ashore
half mile to the east of the life saving
station at Lorraine, Ohio. After giving
the vessel needed assistance Capt. Car
mine notified the department that the
Morreil would sail for Lake Huron to
investigate reported wrecks. The report
of Capt. Carrnine on the operations of
the Morrell will be awaited with interest
Capt. S. 3. Ninram has sent in his re-
port of the operations of the cutter
Gresham, which was sent to the aid of
| the mystery ship. the fishing schooner
Annie NJ. Parker Of Gloucester, which
unchanged and with q cargo of fish in
her hold. valued at $1,000 was picked up
abandoned at sea by the British steam
ship Astrakan, who lowed her to Nan
tucket lightship and after putting a
prize crew aboard. and sending a radio
message for aid, resumed her voyage to
Europe. The Gresham lowed the vessel
into Vineyard Haven. where she was
libeled by the owners of the Astrakan
for salvage. What mad become of the
crew of the schooner had every one
wondering until the report came that
they had been picked up at sea and taken
! into Portland by the schooner Triton.
The vessel had been fighting storms
for several days, and when she struck on
a shoal off Nantucket the crew left her.
After they left the vessel f1oated and
sailed with no one aboard to n point
seventy-five miles east of Nantucket
lightship, where she was found by the
AStrakan.

Remove the Gnuse of All Disease
GERMS-and All Disease VIII
Automatically Disappear.

Science proves that all animal poison
is destroyed by temperature OF 100
degrees. The germs of many diseases
are killed 10y a much lower tempera-
ture. but 100 degrees means death TO
ALL germ life. For many years the
fact was recognized that, provided
, heat could be 50 applied to the human
body as to Kill and eradicate from the
system the germs of disease. sickness
could be relieved and prevented. Prof.
Charles VI, Robinson was deeply i'm
pressed with the Importance Of dis
covering a suitable, practical and ell
cient method for applyin. heat TO the
human body in manner that would
accomplish these things. Finally, he
evolved a method Of thermal or hot
air bathing. BY this method germ
poison is effectively and thoroughly
.. tdicated from the system These
baths may be taken at home at small
cost. Prof Robinson has compiled
an instructive treatise on the subject
OF thermal bathing and the care of

The Canning Industry
IV.-Its Part in Food
Conservation.
By Frederic j. Haskin.

The canning industry a manufacture
ing and commercial enterprise is being
developed as rapidly as improved methods
and the increasing demand for con-
sumption will permit. How great is the
service thus rendered in conserving the
food supply can scarcely be overesti-
mated BY far the greater part of the
food products put UP in tin cans are
perishable in their nature. are grown in
sections of the country where the mar
ket is already glutted, and, but for the
process of canning. would go to waste.
1t is apparent, however. to students OF
the food supply and the problems OF con-
servation that the commercial canning
factory cannot hope to do much more
in this line than 1t is now doing. The
chief desire now is to encourage canning
of fruits and vegetables in the domestic
kitchen-to save that which now goes to
waste on the farm.
More home canning done at the proper
season. would enable the average family
TO have fruits and vegetables throughout
the year would greatly reduce the cost
of the food supply in the family budget
and would save an astonishing amount
of food that now is utterly wasted. The
Department of Agriculture estimates that
more than 10 per cent of all the vege-
tables, fruits and berries that grow in
this country go to waste simply because
they are produced in communities where
marketing facilities are inadequate and
where housewives have not learned to
care for these surplus products efficiently,
so as to make them available for use
in the winter months.
The practical. sensible work being
done in the rural districts, especially
In the south, by the girls tomato clubs,
is having a tremendous effect on liy-
ing conditions in rural communities.
These clubs. organized in connection
with the public schools. have worked
many miracles.

Or. Wallis of Idaho, its presiding officer,
as a most successful session.
Harmony in national and state laws
which are often much at variance re-
garding food and drug manufactures
was strongly urged in debate.
That the section of the pure food and
drugs act permitting blends and com
pounds is responsible for the greater
part of food prosecutions WAS stated by
Lucius F. Brown Of Tennessee. A good

labelling of goods followed in which DIR.

George Il. Taylor of LOUISIANA prade a
motion that Congress be nneuloriaiZed to
