THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRuFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation Of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
ment into the parting with bit of
soft flannel held over the end Of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is we'll to place light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample of each
free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address post
card "Cuticura, Dept. L, Boston."-Adv.

Temptation.

No matter how we may safeguard
ourselves, there is no one of us who is
free from those sudden rushes of temp
tation which at times seem almost I'M
controllable, at well as inexplicable.
Perhaps they are revolts of nature,
scorning restraint and violently self
asserting. Nearly always they are re-
lated to the egotism that, in it's subor-
dination to social law, often feels itself
limited and irritated. They ought to
make us more patient with one an
other Each day they give us lessons
in humility. 1t is perhaps due to our
egotism that so many of these lessons
are lost. We cannot reflect too often
on the speech that moved Wesley to
say, as a prisoner passed him bearing
the insignia of his disgrace: There,
but for the grace of God, goes John
Wesley"
Such an attitude is in itself beau
tiful perquisite.-From 'Intimations,"
by John d. Barry.

Terrapin Catches Hawk.

Edwin Love-. son of Edwin Lowe OF
Mcdaniel, Talbot county, Nd, exhib
tied recently a young chicken hawk
that he and his father had captured
after it had been trapped by a com
mon land terrapin.
Mr.. Lowe and his son were walking
in the road near Mcdaniel Tuesday
morning when they saw the hawk hop
ping along in the road with something
hanging to it.
Thinking the bird had been wound
ed, they approached it with view
OF putting it out of misery, when they
saw what was hampering its move
ments.
The hawk had evidently tried tc
capture the terrapin, but was cap
tured itself, for one toe of the bird
was held tightly in the terrapin's shell
Both hawk and terrapin were picked
up, and taken to Mr.. loves home, and
it was several hours before the terra
pin released its grip.-New York Sun

STERILIZED SOL.
FOR THE FLOWERS
Destroys All Vegetable and AMI
NAL Life, Keeping Out Weeds
and Worms.

Few persons are aware that the
soil used by florists for filling window
boxes and flower pots is sterilized.
This is not done to kill the germs,
but to destroy all vegetable and ami
NAL life in the soil, SO that the weeds
will not be springing up along with
the flowers, and worms eating their
way through the wooden boxes.
The sterilizing plant consist of a
large bin, with steampipes running
through it. about four apart Along
these pipes there are holes every
few inches.
The soil, which is sod, plowed up
and left to decay for a year, is
dumped in. Then the steam is turned
on for half an hour. At the end of
that time the process is completed
It's simple enough" said green
house man, "but one thing has to be
avoided If the soil is heated too
much it becomes useless. Some of
the elements are destroyed by exces-
sive heat''-E. V. B.

TIMELY NOTES OF
THE POULTRY YARD
Caponizing Should Be Done in
Fall, So Birds viii Secure
Highest Prices.
CBy c. s.. MILLER.)

This is the best time for caponiz-
ing, for the reason that the cockerels
are the right age and weight, and will
arrive in market during January, Feb
uary and March, when the demand is
greatest and prices are highest.
The drone hen has no more use in
the poultry yard than the robber COW
has in the dairy herd. Cut them both
out and save feed.
The only way to detect the robber
COW is by the Babcock test, and to
spot the drone hen is by the trap
nest.
Fowls that are dry-picked present a
much better appearance than those
that are scalded.
Do not deceive yourself with the
belief that you can successfully raise
poultry without admitting plenty of
sunshine to the poultry yard and the
houses.
Every poultry yard should be so
constructed that it can be moved
without much difficulty. This is
often necessary when a disease
strikes the flock.
While grass is necessary to fowls
proper condition, it is not fair to ex-
pect a hen to live on grass alone.
Geese will make pretty fair liv-
ing if they have plenty Of grass, al
though a handful of grain every day.
even during the summer months, will
do them all the more good.
Fowls do not thrive during the
winter unless they have some green
feed. The natural food Of domestic
fowls is that which they pick up on
range, and if suddenly deprived Of it,
both as to green vegetable matter,
and meat in the form of bugs and
worms, the evil effect is quickly seen
Stagnant water will make young
chicks ill about as quickly as any
other bad thing that may be intro
duced into their systems.
Spade UP a part of the poultry
yard and SOW it to some quick grow
ing legume, combining the fowls in
the other part; when the crop is
well started, change the fowls over to
it and pillow up the other side. Do it

EASY METHOD FOR
KILLING GOPHERS
Piece of Parsnip, Baited With
Strychnine, Will Prove Quite
EffectuaI.
(By JACKSON TAYLOR)

Whenever I find fresh dirt thrown
out by gopher uncover the hole and
take piece of parsnip about one inch
long, cut a circular piece out of one
end, scrape some of the parsnip up in
the bottom, then mix as much strych-
nine with it as can be taken up on
the point of large penknife, put the
circular piece back and the bait is
ready
/ then put the bait in the hole, push
ing it back foot or more, and leave
the hole open. Now Mr.. Gopher will
always come out and stop up the hole,
for he does not like the light; the
,parsnip is a great temptation to him,
and he eats it, stops the hole, and
seals his grave.
Sometimes there may be the second
gopher in the run, but not often. |
have never failed to get the gopher,
and l think it~tends to keep others Off,
for l have been troubled but littIe
since using this plan.

Luxury for Ostriches,

Dealing with the anti-plumage cam
paign in England, the Cape Times in
a leading article remarks that: Were
it not for the commercial value of its
feathers, the ostrich would today be
as rare in civilized South Africa as the
hippopotamus. The ostrich is really
a much pampered bird, living life of
pure luxury He is bred and kept in
condition merely for the sake Of his
feathers, and generally he lives to a
ripe old age. The feathers are not
pulled out from the sockets by the
roots, but are cut with as little pain
to the bird as is caused to a sheep by
the shearer."

The hog Is more an individual than
a machine, more perhaps than the
average farmer who raises hogs sim
ply because they seem to be one of
the farms many equipments, realizes.
Hogs can be, with common sense
attention to it's environment, feed and
other necessary attentions, produced
and marketed as quickly as a crop
of grain, and added to this the fact
that grain crop makes an income
only once a year and there is no rea-
son why hogs cannot bring in money
trice in the year, and all the more
should hogs needs and individual
taste be catered to.
A pure bred boar costing $25 to
$50 and a small herd of grade sows
are all that is required for a very
decent start in the hog business, but
to get out with profit an abundance
of feed that the hogs can harvest
should be provided before the hogs
are bought or bred,
In the selection of the male hog
it should be borne in mind that he
will be apt to stamp his outward form
and appearance on the offspring.
The internal structure and all the
result of it's action will be determined
for the most part by the female par
ent This is not only theory, but
well-known law of breeding.
Therefore, success in hog raising
depends largely on the selection and
treatment of the male. 1t matters less
how good the sows may be than is
imagined unless careful SELECTION in
the males is looked to.
The boar should be of fine external
form for this is the result of a superior
internal organism. Width between the
lore legs and large heart girth Just
behind them denotes a large, active
heart and lungs, the very foundation
of any animal.
Straight, strong, clean limbs, with
hoofs erect, denote a good, solid frame
work. Smooth. mellow skin covered
with soft, silky hair denotes the
healthy liver and an absence of in
ternal fever.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1913-10-09

A short concave face and Slightly
dropping ear are the sure signs Of
an easy keeper and of the quiet dis
position. Such are some of the feat
ures that should be demanded in the
male hog, not for appearance but be-
cause they indicate qualities of real
value.
1t is important, of course, that the
male hog should be chosen with ref
erence to the females with which
he is to be mated. 1t is always of
interest to note the faults of the dam
which may be corrected, or at any
rate, modified, in the offspring with
careful selection of the sire.
If she is sharp-backed and slab
sided he should be broad on the back
with well-sprung ribs. If she is long
nosed and coarse about the head he
should have a short, concave face
with fine ear and heavy jowl.
If she is too coarse, too lazy, too
active, too anything, in fact, the OPP
posite characteristic should be proml-
nent in the male with which she is
to be hnated
1t is sometimes desired to make a
direct cross between two breeds. In
this case the male should be selected
from the smaller of the two. Where
it is not desired to cross breed it is
best to have the male somewhat
smaller and more compact than the
female with which he is to be mated.
The male chosen to fill the RESPONSE
BILE position of head of the herd
should not only be a good individual
animal, but should come of family
that shows uniformity of breeding.
He should also come of strain
that is known to be prolific. 1t is a
losing game to keep SOW a whole
year chat raises but six or seven pigs
in that time. This is often done and
the fault is not always on the female
side of the house.
The strain that has no two pigs
alike, that farrows small, weak filters,
that he lacking vital ruggedness,
should be Stunned with all possible
care.

Insure Against Canker.

Barrett says that ten cents worth
of creolin will insure flock of 400
pigeons against canker for a year;
and two or three drops in Spoonful
of water, applied to the throat and
mouth with a soft camel's hair brush,
twice day, will cure bird when it
is so bad that you are ready to wiring
it's neck. If he finds any trace of the
disease, the affected birds are re-
moved and cooped alone. and few
drops of the creolin is put in the
drinking water of all the rest. This
acts as a preventative.
