RINGWORM ON cHlLD'S FACE

Stratford, Iowa.--"Three years ago
this winter my seven-year-old son had
ringworm on the face. First it was in
small red spots which had a rough
crust on the top. When they started
they looked like little red dots and
then they got bigger, about the size
of a birds egg. They had white
rough ring around them, and grew
continually worse AID soon spread
over his face and legs. The child suf-
fered terrible itching and burning, so
that he could not sleep nights. He
scratched them and they looked fear
full. He was cross when he had them.
We used several bottles Of liniment,
but nothing helped.
II saw where child had a rash on
the face and was cured by Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and / decided to
use them. l used Cuticura Soap and
Ointment about one month, and they
cured my child completely" (Signed)

Is 1T RIGHT TO ADVERTISE COCA
COLA?

Men who play the willy game of poll
to distract the attention of the public
from their own shortcomings is to
make a loud-mouthed sensational at
tack upon someone else. AS the cut
fetish eludes it's pursuer by clouding
the surrounding water with the con-
tents of it's ink sac, so the political adj
venturer takes advantage of the igno-
rance and prejudices of the people to
escape from his indefensible position
by muddying the waters of public
opinion.
A case in point is the recent attack
made upon the religious press for
carrying Coca-Cola advertising. This
attack was made by politician who
was supposed to be an expert in chem
istry but who, having brought a suit
against the Coca-Cola Company, was
Inundated by having to acknowledge
that he could not qualify as an expert.
The court decided in favor of the Coca
Cola Company as it was clearly shown
that the only essential difference BE-
tween Coca-Cola and coffee or tea is
that the former contains only about
half as much caffeine as the latter and
that the flavor is different.
The question as to whether it is right
to advertise Coca-Cola seems to resolve
itself therefore into the question as to
whether it is right to advertise coffee,
tea, chocolate, cocoa and other bever-
ages of the caffeine group.-Adv.

EMPTY TOMB AT ST. HELENA
Longwood House, Where Napoleon
Died, is in Ruins and French Ask
That 1t BE Preserved.

Complaint is made in France that
the government of the republic is neg
lecting the house in which Napoleon
died and the tomb in which his body
was laid at ST. Helena before removal
to the Church of ST. Louis at the In
valides
In 1858 the Longwood house, in
which the emperor lived during his
exile, and the plot in the Valley of
Geraniums where his tomb was made
were given by Queen Victoria to Ma
poleon III. for the French government,
which desired to maintain them as
lasting memorials. But of late years
little has been done to preserve either
the home or the sepulcher. The build
ing is falling into ruins, the farmers
of the neighborhood let their sheep
Craze in the valley. Visitors are few.
1t is believed that ere long a storm
will wreck the decaying building, and
then in all probability the caretaker
will be withdrawn and the land aban-
doned to the farmer and the herds
man.
Sentiment will mourn over such sur
render of ground to utility but it is in
evitable. In world where the palaces
OF Alexander and Caesar have crum-
bled into nothingness, there can be no
perpetuity for the homes of Napoleon.
The Tuileries went to ashes long ago;
why save Longwood?

SYMBOLISM IN OUR FLAG
Union, Liberty, Bravery and Peaceful
Possession All Indicated in the
National Emblem.

When George Washington, Robert
Morris and John Ross prepared and
presented to congress a standard for
the Continental troops and the new
Union of States, every detail in our
flag was made symbolic of truth in it's
breadth and beauty and as the proud
herald of those fundamental princi-
pies our national banner has been dis
played for 1872 years.
In the first place. it is the banner
of the union, the union of states into
solid national compact; the union
of effort to free these states and de-
fend them; the union of hearts loyal
and true; and this idea of national
union emblaZoned on our banner is
expressed in the field of blue On which
shine the stars of the several states.
To destroy this union would be to re-
verse the progress of our history and
make void the struggle and sacrifice
of our fathers.
In the second place, 1t is the banner
of liberty. These states were united
in the cause OF freedom. The struggle
of their common enemy forced them
to unite their efforts in the struggle
for common liberty The recognized
liberty as one of the inalienable rights
to be bestowed by the creator and in
the cause of their liberty and the
liberty of their children they have
pledged their lives, their liberties and
their sacred honor Yes, it is the flag
of the free!
In the third place, it is also the
banner of bravery. Never in the his
tory of the world did more heroic men
place themselves upon the altar Of
patriotism because they feared God
and recognized the justice of their
principles, they were willing to sacri
fee life itself. AS we look upon the
banner today and remember that it
was made expressive of brave and
patriotic men, it recalls the heroic
struggles of the Revolution. The red
signifies it is the banner of the brave
In the last place, it is the banner
of peacefuI possession. Wherever it
fcats, our flag is the symbol of
sovereign rule. 1t stands for nation
al ownership-not of any party, large
or small, but the ownership of all the
people; and as such it is the pledge
c. peace, and back of the flag stand
the people and back OF the people is
God, whose truth is displayed in it's
signs and symbols.

BEACH COVERED WITH FISH
Sinners at Night in
California.

Thousands of little fish coming on
the sands at Sierra, three miles below
San Juan Capistrano, furnished most
unusual sight and gave an opportunity
for the capture by hand of many hun
dreds of fish.
Three moonlight nights of each of
the three spring months the fish. which
resembles the smelt, goes on the
sands to spawn. The larger waves
carry the fish up and leave them flop
ping on the sand, flashing in the moon
light. The beach for nearly half mile
on both sides of the mouth of San Juan
creek was literally covered with the
little fish one night recently. The run
commenced soon after midnight.
The coming of the fish is a great oc-
casion in the San Juan Capistrano Mis-
sion valley. People gathered from far
and near, and nearly every one re-
turned with half flour sack filed with
the beauties Eight to ten automobile
loads Of Santa Anans were on hand.

HIS HENS SWIM AND DIVE
Fowl Fancier Declares They Also
Catch Young Trout and Now
Lay Fishy Eggs.

Expert research has disclosed the
reason that patients at the Foresters'
sanitarium at Rainbow Lake, N. Y,
have had to complain Of a fish flavor
in their eggs.
The institution has its own poultry
yard, extending to the edge of the
lake, whittier the ducks repair for
swimming and the hens for drink. Re
Gently the keeper of the hens got up
extra early in the morning and was
COMPOUNDED when he saw a dozen of
his hens floating on the lake in the
midst of the flock of ducks. They
were diving, too, and coming up with
infant trout, which they brought to
shore to devour.
The hennery man, who is also bio
logist, says it is a characteristic &C
quired through long association with
the ducks. He will segregate the hens
and ducks hereafter, for, although he
has no objection to swimming hens,
he feels that the flavor of the eggs di-
rectly concerns his own reputation.

VALUE OF A SiLO
ON A DAIRY FARM
Ry PROF. G. C. HUMPHREY,
Wisconsin CoIleSe of Agriculture.

A silo is most valuable when used
for the storage of corn that is harvest
ed when the ears are nicely glazed or
the crop is ordinarily ready to be
put into the shock. Freshly cut clover
and alfalfa, and beet tops mixed with
corn fodder or Stover may also be
stored in the silo to good advantage
Four tons of corn silage contain
more real feeding material, dry matter
and digestible nutrients than one ton
of hay and require less than one-half
the storage space. The entire plant is
usually put into the silo, thus there
is the least chance for waste. The
loss of dry matter from corn when
shocked, husked and handled in the
usual manner ranges from 81 to 55
per cent Properly put into the silo
the loss is only to 16 per cent. and
the crop is preserved in manner to
yield uniform quality of feed as long
as it lasts, and comes the nearest to
being substitute for good grass pas
ture of any other feed.
Corn silage is especially valuable
FOR dairy and beef cattle, sheep and
horses. Hogs like 1t, but do not uti-
lie it in a manner to warrant their
receiving it. All classes of animals
need to be gradually accustomed to
silage. after which dairy cattle may
receive 25 to 40 pounds per head daily,
beef and growing cattle IS to 20
pounds, sheep to 3 pounds, and
horses 10 to Is pounds.
A silo on dairy farm saves rs to
so per cent. of the amount of hay
otherwise required. 1t provides not
only a succulent feed for winter, but
the most palatable, valuable and con-
venient feed with which to supplement
or replace summer pastures that are
short or spoiled by drought.
Silos made of concrete, brick, wood
and other materials which insure an
alright wall are in general use, ami
satisfactory. The chief differences be
tween such silos are in cost, durability
and expense for repairs. Mold, due to
improperly mixing and packing of the
silage, and freezing in winter are the
chief difficulties experienced.

CONCERNING kiermIts.

Hermits, of whom, according to re-
Gently published statistics, there are
$50 in modern Italy, were century
or more ago regarded as pic
turesque feature of English country
houses. Samuel Rogers records that
Archibald Hamilton, afterward duke
of Hamilton, advertised for a hermit
as an ornament to his pleasure
grounds; and it YVES stipulated that
the said hermit should have his beard
shaved but once year, and that only
partially"
Mark Powyss, an English squire, of
fered $3.50 year for life to any man
willing to live as hermit on his es-
tate for seven years. He was to be
well supplied with provisions, books
and other comforts, and in return had
to abstain from straying around his
hermitage and from cutting his hair,
beard or nails.
The offer was accepted by man
who abode by the conditions for four
years and then threw up the job.

regions, branch houses have been es-
tablished by some of the older firms.
At the warehouses cheese is weighed,
parafined, and aged.
Dealers lost money on the 1910 out
put, but made large profits in 1911.
Complaints regarding excessive prof
it's have centered especially about the
operations of 1911 and 1912. 1t has
been alleged that the boards were
manipulated to keep prices down in
the summer of 1911.
Dealers find markets throughout the
United States to which cheese is ship
ped direct. There are many large
cities, however, from which redistribu-
ton is made by wholesale merchants.
The packers are important agents
in the distribution of cheese. They
have facilities and organizations which
make them efficient. Where they per-
form the service at fair price they
should be encouraged.
The farmers can help improve the
system of marketing cheese by partic-
ipating in the sale of their product
instead of leaving it to other parties
whose interest is not in harmony with
their own.
The state can help improve condi-
tons by studying the present systems
of marketing, by furnishing timely in
formation regarding marketing, and
the condition of the market, and by
regulating any unjust acts or charges
which may arise in the marketing OF
farm products.

Wisconsin is the greatest cheese
producing state in the Union. Her
product in 1909 was AGA per cent. of
the entire output Of the United States
From 1899 to 1909, cheese production
increased 87.6 per cent. in Wisconsin,
while outside of Wisconsin, the pro-
duction of cheese in the United States
decreased ZIG per cent.
Farmers have too generally left the
selling of their product to the cheese
maker, who is more interested in hav-
ing the cheese pass inspection and sell
at board prices than he is in having
board prices HIGH and who sells the
cheese at private sale instead of on
the call board. The tipping system
INDUCED in by dealers to influence the
cheesemaker in making sales is an
other evil.
The dealers buy more than so per
cent. of the cheese privately, at a
price to be determined on the call
board. The same buyers bid off most
OF the cheese sold on the call board.
The result is not satisfactory to the
farmers. Many dairy boards have
been organized, but only eight were
in operation in 1912, and some of
those held only a few meetings.
The cheesemakers render an impor-
tant service They provide ware
houses in all parts Of the state where
cheese is produced. In the newer

HARVESTING THE
BARLEY CROP
5y PROF. r. A. MOORE and A. |.
STONE,

STONE,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
Barley should be cut with haryes-
ter when it is we'll ripened and the
straw and heads are of a golden vel
low color. If cut when the straw is
yet green the kernels viii shrink and
assume an ashen color that is not
desirable. If the bundle carrier at
tachment to the harvester drops the
bundles at the right points little hand
ling will be necessary. The shocking
should be done on the day of harvest
ing. BY putting up round shocks,
using eight bundles for foundation and
two bundles for cap sheaves, the bar
ley will be protected from exposure
to dew, sunlight, and rains, which de-
crease its market value by injuring
Its color anG vitality.

should be left in the shock depends

FARM NAME AS
A TRADE MARK
BY w. A. FREEHoFF,
College of Agriculture.

There is a business as well as SEN
timental reason why every farm
should have name. The farmer who
can refer to his home as the "Manx,"
or any similar name, takes pardonable
pride in his progressiveness More
than that, if he is a good farmer and
raises better livestock than his neigh
bors, the farm name will soon become
associated with stock and products of
quality The "Elmpine" dairy herd
means more to the buyer than Mr..
Blanks Guernseys or Holsteins.
The farm name, to become good
trade mark, should be distinctive, and
not the first one that comes to mind.
"Elmendorf,' "Roycroft," "Sarnia,"
"Helendale,' "Langwater," Tanner
baum" and dozens of similar names
have succeeded where the inevitable
Red Clover" or "Hillview'' farm at
tracted little permanent attention. Do
not accept commonplace name if for
no other reason than that a dozen
farms with the same name may be
y
A farm name to be good business
asset, in addition to being we'll chosen,
must be well advertised. This does
not necessarily mean the Haunting
of the name in the farm journals at
an unreasonable expense, but it does
mean the using Of the name on all
correspondence paper. 1t means that
every time an animal is sold the name
Of the farm is emphasized, so that
other breeders come to look upon it
as always standing for quality.
1t will lead to disaster, however. if
a name is chosen merely because it
is the style" to have the farm
named, and no effort is made to make
the farming distinctive. For the mere
fact that your farm may be called.
say, the LaRouge, calls attention to
your products, and if these do not
come up to snuff" LaRouge will,
after a time, become associated with
inferior stock This incentive to
make every man better farmer is
perhaps the final reason why every
farm should be given good name

the crop when cut. and the weeds
which may be bound with the barley.
After the barley has had ample time
20 dry out thoroughly, it should De
drawn to the barn and stored in BAYS
or Immediately stacked. The lack OF
sufficient help and barn room has LED
many barley growers to thresh direct
ly from the shock. This practice does
not admit of the barley going through
its natural sweating process while in
the straw. 1t will then sweat in the
bin and extreme heat will often ac-
company the sweating process. This
causes deterioration in quality that
can in nc way be overcome by subse-
quent treatment.
If the farmer has insufficient room
in which to store the sheaf barley it
is best to stack and leave the barley
in the stack at least month before
threshing. If the barley is stacked or
drawn to the barn the cap sheaf bun
dies should be stored and threshed
separately, as much discolored grain
will be found in these bundles and
this should not be mixed with tie
other barley.
