To Get Rid of Wrinkles
and Bad Compilations

1t is more important now than
during the period of profuse pers-
pfration. to keep the pores clean.
All cosmetics clog the pores. In
winter this interferes greatly with
elimination of waste material, in
juring instead of aiding the COM
plexion. Ordinary mercolized wax
serves all the purposes of creams,
powders and rouges. giving far bet
ter results. 1t actually peels off
an offensive skin, at the same time
unclogging the pores. Minute par
ticles of scarf skin come off day
by day, causing not the least pain
or discomfort. Gradually the
healthy, younger skin beneath peeps
out, and in less than a fortnight you
have a iove1ier complexion than you
ever dreamed of acquiring. Mer-
colized wax, obtainable at any drug
store is spread on nightly like cold
cream and washed off mornings.
One ounce usually suffices.
For removing wrinkles, without
stopping the pores with pasty stuff.
here's a never-failing formula: /
OF. powdered saxolite, dissolved in
" pint witch hazel. Battle the face,
in this daily for awhile; every line
will vanish completely. Even the
first application gives surprising
results.

Father Buisson told a reporter that

and we have reached the important op-
GRAFTON OF setting out the plants.
Use the dibble to make the opening
in the soil and to close over the roots
of the plants, just as you would do If
you were setting tomato or cab
bage plant, and the work will be done
neatly and with dispatch.
Cultivation should begin as soon as
possible after the plants are set In the
ground, and this should be repeated
every eight or ten days thereafter II
the weather remains clear. Whenever
It rains. however, you should be in
your strawberry field as soon as soil
conditions render 1t possible to do 80.
But never cultivate the soil before It
will crumble when disturbed. Soil con-
ditions always should determine the
time of cultivation. One thing that
never should be neglected is the ten
dency of the soil to form a crust. Here
are some of the desirable results of
cultivation: Cultivation prevents the
crust from forming on the soils surf
ace and destroys all weed seed while
they are In the terminating stage.
Continuous, vigorous growth Is OBJ
tanned only when the digestive organs
of the plant are in healthy condition.
To keep the digestive organs in a
healthy condition we must keep bac-
terra active. To keep bacteria active
we must supply them with an abund-
ance of air; and to supply air we must
cultivate. Cultivation forms dust

vigorous growth.
When the Season 10 Over.
Let us add that the grower should
never fail, at the last cultivation in
the fall, to run narrow furrow down
the center Of the spaces between the
rows, SO that all surplus water from
heavy rains or melting SHOWS may
quickly drain away. Make this furrow
from four to five inches deep.
Some growers prefer to cultivate
their plants by the hill system. Others
like the single-hedge row, and still
others. the double-hedge row. There
are some growers who still continue to
grow plants by the narrow-matted row,
but this Is something l never advise.
The grower should consider his mar
ket when setting out his plants. II he
is near large city and has trade
that is willing to pay fancy prices for
fancy fruit, there is no doubt but the
largest results will be secured from
the hill system. II ones plot is limited
as to size and all the work is to be
done with hoe. we advise setting
plants 15 by 15 inches apart. This
calls for 27,750 plants to the acre.

Wise men make point of having

heavy cloth. Trousers of this kind are
probably of the same thickness as
those worn in the day. They last
longer than trousers of thin cloth and
look better all the time. because they
