CHILD'S FACE ALL RED SPOTS

632 N. 9th ST., 'Terre Haute, Ind
my little nephew, a boy of four
years, had a breaking out on his face.
1t 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
until his face was covered with them.
He would cry and fret. His mother
got some medicine, but 1t did not do
any good. He would scream and cry
and say 1t hurt. We hardly knew him,
his little face was all red spots and
blisters. So I begged him to let me
put some Cuticura. Ointment on them.
The next morning | made a strong
soap suds with Cuticura Soap and
washed his face in the warm suds.
The little blisters burst by pressing
the cloth on them. After I had his
face washed, I put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on and in a short time his little
face was all red and dry. / kept using
the Cuticura Soap and putting on the
Cuticura Ointment and his face got as
well and it did not leave a scar. He
was entirely cured in about one week
and a half" (Signed) Mrs. Arthur

Cevlon Tea.

Tea plantations in Ceylon have been
in existence only 30 years, yet the an
nual exports of black tea amount to
nearly $40, 100000 in value. Formerly
coffee constituted Ceylon's main in
dustry, but after a disease of the plant
in 1880 it's cultivation was discontin-
ued. Many planters, however, re-
couped themselves by tea and rubber.
Thanks chiefly to the former article,
the islands old prosperity revived. To-
day Ceylon boasts 1900 plantations.
Plant necessary to tea cultivation is
costly, but very labor-saving. The
work itself is not hard; only the eli
mate makes it irksome. What is
wanted mainly of employees is to
watch machinery and feed it from the
stock of tea leaves awaiting treat
ment. The workers are not Sing
halese, but natives Of southern India.
A laborer's wages vary from eight to
sixteen cents a day, while a foreman's
salary averages 5000 a month.-Har-

PREPARING SEED OATS
TANNING AND TREATING FOR
SMUT MAY INCREASE YIELD.
BY c. (. Brashear, College of Agri-
culture, University Of
Missouri.

So far as the market value Of the
oat crop is concerned, it is one of the
poorest paying crops we grow. The
crop has desirable features, however,
that may justify our growing it even
at the present low yield. Oats have
a decidedly favorable effect upon the
land, and when fed in connection with
u other grains they furnish what
the other feeds lack, making a more
nearly balanced ration.
1t Us possible, however, to grow
more oats per acre than we are now
growing, adding but very little to the
expense. The practice Of tanning seed
oats, which is often neglected, has
been given special study by several
experiment stations. In these trials
light seed were separated from heavy
seed by tanning and the two we're
sown side by side. AT harvest time
the yield per acre was calculated. The
results reported show from three to
nine bushels in favor of the heavy
seed.

unplcked Grapes Go to the Poor.

A curious old law, which dates from
1779, has been used to sentence the
owner of a vineyard at Capestang,
near Beziers, France, to a fine and
costs for picking her own grapes. She
was picking the grapes which had been
left on the vines in her vineyard after
the fall gathering, when the policeman
told her that she was committing an
offense against the law, as all grapes
left on the vines after the harvest
were the property of the poor. The
court at Beziers confirmed the police
mans opinion, and the woman was
convicted.

MIR. Harris 0ium, an Alberta farmer,
came from South Dakota eleven years
ago and homesteaded the first 100
acres in his township in 1902, which
was divided between grain and pas
ture. He earned sufficient money to
buy a quarter section of railway land
at $11 an acre. The half section netted
proportionate profits and he gradually
increased his holdings to 1920 acres,
which was devoted to mixed farming
last year. He values his land at $50
an acre.
Mr.. Oium markets from 100 to 1875
hogs and a similar number of beef
cattle each year. He has 200 hogs,
mostly pure bred Poland China, rs
head draft horses and IS head of pure
bred Hereford cattle. By feeding bar
ley to hogs he estimates that the grain
nets him 80 cents q bushel, as COM
pared with 40 cents, the average mar
ket price when delivered to the ware
house. His average crop of barley is
40 bushels to the acre, while oats av-
erage so bushels.

comes what we call clover-sick. If ii
is potatoes, potato-scab becomes estab

other year or every third year, the
disease is more or less starved out be-

While no set rules as to what crops
pay best on Missouri farms can be
given, it has been determined pretty
definitely that when one crop is
grown continuously on the same land
it ceases to be a paying crop. The
experiment station at Columbia plant
ed corn on the same land every year
for II years. Beside this, and during
the same time, was grown a rotation
of corn, wheat and clover. And on a
third plot was grown a rotation of

Aside from the cost of a mill, there
is little expense attached to tanning
oats. The work is usually done in the
early spring, when the farmer is not
crowded for time. Oats tend to II
out more than pretty nearly any other
crop we grow. By eliminating the
light seed running out is prevented to
a certain extent.
Treating for Smut.
Another means of increasing the oat
yield is the prevention Of smut. Next
to rust, it is the worst enemy the
plant has. 1t attacks the head, reduc.
ing grain and all to a black mass. The
loss often amounts to as much as
one-fourth the total crop. Fortunately,
there has been found a method of pre-
venting smut.
The treatment is generally applied
as follows: Mix one pound Of com
mercial formalin with 40 to so gallons
of water in a barrel. This formalin
can be secured at any drug store. Aft
er the seed oats have been famed,
spread them out on a clean floor and
sprinkle them with the solution until
damp enough to pack in the hand.
Then turn with a shovel until all have
been well dampened. Then shovel into
a pile and cover with old sacks or car
pets for two or three hours. The oats
should then be scattered and turned
occasionally until dry. AS soon as dry
the oats are ready for seeding, or may
be kept until ready to use.

Why DO HOGS LIKE COAL2

1t is supposed that material OF a
gritty nature passing through the
stomach and intestines OF hogs helps
to stimulate the flow Of digestive
Juices. Coal is not digested, but acts
as an absorbant and as a %stimulant.
It probably makes life miserable for
stomach and intertinal worms. Char
coal is also appreciated by hogs and
acts much in the same way as coal.

the air. Peas and beans draw heavily
on potash and lime. Wheat takes but
small amounts of these, but feeds
heavily on phosphorus.
Now, there is an abundance of phos-
phorus in most of our soils, but only
small amounts are available to plants
at any one time. The amount is SO
small that wheat often suffers from
want of it; SO that wheat may be a
paying crop if grown every third year,
where it would not pay if grown every
year.
The distribution Of labor throughout
the year is a minor point, and yet is
an argument in favor of rotation.
Our rich lands are slow to show the
need of rotation. They have shown it
in the East, and are showing it more
and more in the corn belt.

corn, oats, wheat, clover and timothy.
On the seventeenth year of the trial
the yield per acre of corn was as fol.
lows:

IJUO,
Bushels.
Plot l. Corn II years ..........11.s
Plot II. Corn, wheat, clover, II
years ......-... 50.7
Plot III. Corn, oats, wheat, clover,
timothy, II years 81
It is seer that by the continuous
growing of corn the yield was reduced
to where the crop was a losing propo-
sition. Similar land yielded over four
times that amount when rotated.
1t is not to be inferred from this
that the fertility Of soil may be built
up, or ever maintained, under a sys-
tenn of rotation. Even under rotation
the elements of fertility are being con-
tinually used from the land, and it is
only a question Of time until they are
lacking to such an extent that the
crops are diminished. Where only one
crop is grown, the yield diminishes
more rapidly, because the roots are al
ways feeding in about the same layer
of soil and make heavy drains on the
same elements. By rotation the soil
is made to grow crops proftably
longer.
AS a rule, land that has been heav-
lily cropped with almost continuous
grain growing produces markedly bet
ter crops for several years after d
good rotation system is established.
Especially is this true where little or
no has been applied to the
land. This is not because the rotation
adds plant food to the soil.
There are a number of advantages
derived from growing a variety of
crops on the land. In the first place,
there is given to the soil a variety of
treatment. One year it will be Guilt
waited and the next it will be covered
with some hay crop. This maxi It
harder for weeds and insects to estap-
lish themselvesA If the same crop is
