Rash ON FACE FOR 2 YEARS

Sioux Falls, S. D.-"My trouble Of
skin disease started merely as a rash
on my face and neck, but it grew and
kept getting worse until large scabs
would form, tester and break. This
was just on the one side Of my face,
but 1t soon scattered to the other
side. I suffered a great deal, especial
ly at night, on account of its itching
and burning. l would scratch 1t and
of course that irritated it very much.
This rash was on my face for about
two years, sometimes breaking out
lots worse and forming larger sores.
1t kept me from sleeping day or night
for couple of months. My face look
ed disgraceful and 1 was almost
ashamed to be seen by my friends.
"a friend asked me to try Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment. l would
battle my face with hot water and a
lot Of Cuticura Soap, then would put
on the Cuticura Ointment In less
than two days time, the soreness and
inflammation had almost entirely dis
appeared, and in four weeks time you
could not see any Of the rash. Now
my face is without a spot of any kind.
I also use them for my scalp and hair.
They cured me completely" (Signed)

thought was his Is minutes, and then
proceeded across the hall to the Office
of another minister.
On the way there he sought to look
at his watch. 1t was gone. He burst
into the other minister's Office and ex-
claimed:
This is too much. Here l come to
this place and call on high official,
and when l come out my watch is

"Excellency," said the other minis

Presently the second minister re-
turned and handed the premier his

when you made him return my
watch?" asked the premier.
"Oh," replied the other minister, "he

STORAGE OF WATER IN SOIL
One Of Reasons for Greater Success
Of Dry FaIlow as Well as Proven
ton by Evaporation.

From 300 to 500 tons of water are
needed to produce a ton Of dry mat
ter, which makes the importance Of
water storage in our soil evident.
Pastures are not only hard and nom
absorbent, but their crops rapidly use
the water in the soil before 1t pene.
trates to any depth. and this is one Of
the reasons for the greater success of
the dry fallow as we'll as the proven
ton of evaporation by the dust mulch.
A quarter or half an inch of rain
will greatly refresh growing crop.
but they have little If any effect on
the fallow, as the sun rapidly draws
out the moisture, for this agency is
constant during the sunshine hours, re-
turning the water that has run to the
sea or fallen on land to the clouds.
from whence it falls again ON the
plain and mountain.
With a good fallow the depth to
which moisture is stored is increased
by every good rain, and at the North
Platte station water has been stored
to depth of Is feet in wet years,
to in dry ones. From 15-inch rain
fall Z inches have been preserved;
from 10-inch about inches can be
retained in the first or feet.
If season of summer tillage does
not succeed in wetting the land more
than foot, 1t furnishes very little
insurance against drought. Soils
should be wet to the depth attained
by plant roots and lower, If possible.
Ltorage of from to inches of wa
ter represents 500 to 700 tons per
acre. Thirty bushels of wheat weigh
1900 pounds. so that is enough wa
ter for the grain and fair surplus for
the straw.
On summer fallow lands, from 1906
to 1910, 46 bushels of wheat was
grown, the 1910 crop being only 80
bushels, whilst the 1911 crop was
only 13 bushels, due to deficient rain
fall that made it impossible to store
water.

TRY DRY FARMS IN HUNGARY
American Plan Tried With Success In
Over 1000 Tests-To Expert
ment In North Africa.

This country is not the only one to
seize upon new ideas; Hungary, not
supposed to be among the most pro-
gressive of nations, has taken with
enthusiasm to the system of dry farm
ing that is making profitable much Of
what was once called the arid west,
The process of dry farming consists
in rolling hard the field after blowing,
then narrowing the surface until it is
a fine powder The moisture is re-
tanned under the hard layer, through
which it is brought up by capillary
action to the plant roots. But the fine
surface. layer will not suck it up any
farther, so that it is not evaporated
Director Kerpely of the Hungarian
Academy of Horticulture reports that
he has made over 1000 tests Of this
method in the last three years, and in
every case there was an increased
yield, averaging so per cent. more than
without 1t.
One landed proprietor, named Fech
tig, tried experiments on his own &C
count, and reports that in poor re
gion, where the wheat yield in 1910
was from 4 to IL quintals per hectare,
the yield last year by the dry farming
method was from 16 to "a quintals.
The same proprietor obtained from
80 to SO quintals of barley and oats on
land where formerly 20 was considered
a good yield.

GOOD TIMES IN CANADA
BUSINESS PRosPERINo, TRADE
INCREASING AND FINANCES
IN GOOD SHAPE.

The present tightening up Of money
must not be looked upon as being in
any sense brought about by financial
stringency. 1t is really more a period
Of stock-taking resorted to by the
banks to ascertain the true condition
of the finances and trade of the coun-
try. Legitimate business enterprises
are not affected. Throughout the
States there are those who If allowed
to continue borrowing, would inev-
itably be a means towards precipi-
tating something a good deal worse
than they feel now. In Canada, the
conditions are excellent, and it is
safe to say business was never bet
ter. The pulse of trade is carefully
watched by the Finance Department
of the Dominion government, and it
is illuminative to read portions Of the
address of Hon. w. T. White, the
Finance Minister, delivered few days
ago before the House of Commons.
Mr.. Whites remarks are in part as
follows:
1T falls agreeably to my lot to ex-
to the House and the country upon
the prosperous conditions which it
continues to be our good fortune to
enjoy. / am happy to announce that
the outcome of the last fiscal year,
which ended on March 81, will prove
even more satisfactory as rejecting
by far the highest pitch to which our
national prosperity has yet attained. /
have every expectation that when the
books are closed, it will be found that
the total revenue will have reached
the splendid total of $168 ,250,000, or
an increase over the year 1911-12 of
over $32,000,000. Some indication of
the magnificent growth Of the Domin-
ion may be cleaned from the fact that
this increase in revenue during the Pc
Rod of one year almost equals the en-
tire revenue of the country seventy
years ago.
1.-THE augmentation of revenue to
which l have referred has not been
irregular, spasmodic or intermittent
In its nature, but has steadily charac-
terized each month of the entire fiscal
year. IL WAS Vi COuT50 uldluly Q6TlV6Q
from Customs receipts, but the other
sources of revenue-excise, post office
and railways-also gave us very sub
stantial increases"

cial stringency not only have we not
been obliged to resort to the con-
gested markets of the world, but have
been able to reduce so substantially
