WATERY BLISTERS ON FACE

Smithville. Ind.-"Six months ago
our baby girl. one year old, had few
red pimples come on her face which
gradually spread causing her face to
become very irritated and a fiery red
color. The pimples on the child's face
were at first small watery blisters. just
small blotch on the skin. She kept
scratching at this until in a few days
her whole cheeks were fiery red color
and instead OF the little blisters the
skin was cracked and scaly looking
and seemed to itch and burn very
much.
I'VE used a number OF remedies
which seemed to give relief for a short
time then leave her face worse than
ever. Finally we got a cake OF CUT
cura Soap and box of Cuticura ONT
ment / washed the child's face with
very warm water and Cuticura Soap,
then applied the Cuticura Ointment
very lightly. After doing this about
three times day the itching and
burning seemed entirely gone in two
days time. Inside OF two weeks time
her face seemed well. That was eight
months ago and there has been no re-

West Virginia would get together the
number of beef cattle and dairy cattle
in the state could be doubled during
the next ten years.
If in one county or community
there are more breeders of Hereford
cattle than of any other one breed, a
Hereford Breeders Association should
be organized TO cover that county or
particular community. A constitution
should be adopted, officers elected and
the association would be ready for
business. What are some of the things
such an organization could do? Prob
ably there would be found a lack of
good breeding COWS in that section. A
committee could be appointed to I'M

the kind of COWS desired. where they
could be purchased to best advantage.

Bots in the stomachs of horses are
caused by the common gad-fy. nifty
or horse-fy, as they are sometimes
called These flies attack horses in
the summer, not to get food, but in
order to deposit their eggs. The fe-
male fly selects the base OF the neck.
between the lower jaws, the shoulders
and knees as suitable places to lay
her eggs, because these places are the
most convenient for the young bots
after they hatch and attempt to reach
the mouth of the animal. The time re-
quired for the eggs to hatch depends
somewhat on conditions.
After the eggs are Matched the
young bots reach the horses mouth,
when the animal is biting itself
or else they drop from the hairs
OF the throat or lower jaw when
the animal is feeding and gain en-
trance TO the stomach. Here they at
tach themselves to the lining OF the
stomach by two little booklets that
project from the small end of the
body They live here for several
months sucking the blood from the
walls Of the stomach. After they reach
their full growth which will be in the
early spring, they let go their hold and
are carried out TO the ground with the
manure. They then bury themselves
in the ground or manure pile for a pc
riod OF six or seven weeks, and finally

Under ordinary conditions It is not

bers it would be well to take a sharp
table knife and scrape the eggs on
once or twice a week and allow them

way is 20 encourage the fly to lay her
eggs on something convenient and
