WATERY BLISTERS ON FACE

Smithville, Ind.-"Six months ago
Dur baby girl, one year old, had a 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
a 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.
"We used a number Of remedies
which seemed to give relief for a short
time then leave her face worse than
yer. Finally we got a cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and a box of Cuticura ONT
ment. I 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 a 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.
turn of the trouble" (Signed) Mrs.
A. X. Wooden, Nov. 4, 1912.

Lambs should have their tails cut
of and be castrated in from seven
to ten days after birth.
Lambs just under ten months old
produce better meat at that age than
any other.
The best time to market lambs ia
between January and May.
Never keep more than twenty-five
or thirty sheep in one lot together
if possible.
The best time to have lambs to
come is about two weeks before pas.
ture.
No every man can have pure bred
sheep but it is not difficult to obtain
a pure bred ram.
1t is not a good plan to keep sheep
housed up too closely. They should
always have plenty of exercise in the
open air.
As long as a sleeps coat is kept
dry It can stand a good deal Of cold
weather but rain and sleet are fatal.
A rough boisterous hired man will
do more harm to a flock of sheep
than he is worth. This is particularly
true about lambing time.
Ground corn and cob meal makes an
excellent food for lambs. but they
should be started on a small allow
ance at first.
If sheep are turned on to alfalfa
pasture and allowed to eat all they
want some of them will die from
bloat.

NOT STIRRED BY ROMANCE
Extremely Practical Errand Had
Brought Young Man Out So
Early in the Morning.

He was as Irish as the bells Of Shan
don. And by the true-blue eyes of
him any girl could tell that he would
love a woman till death did them part.
OF course, you can't always go by
eyes, and girls haven't much ems
anyhow-about men-but never mind
that.
He was brisking along the avenue
early of a Monday morning. At least
it must have been early for him, for
"Hello!" calls out a big, beamy chap
who looks as if he had arisen with
that lark we all know about, but never
expect to meet.
Hello, Frank! What brings you out
this time of day."
And Frank answered as virtuously
as if he were in church saying his
prayers:
"Oh, l always turn out first thing
Monday mornings to pay my rent and
alimony."
Another ideal gone to smash! Still
to pay a gone-wrong marriage debt
means a whole heap If you look at it
from the alimony lady's point of view.

IMPROVEMENT OF
ALL LIVE STOCK
Good Ram on Bunch of Grade
Ewes Is in Many Cases More
Than Half of Flock.

by HOWARD HACKEDoM. Missouri
Station.)
The use of a good sire is n of the
recognized principles of improving the
live stock. This principle is generally
considered to be fundamental by all
breeders of live stock, both breeders
of pure bred stock and breeders or
animals for the open market. How
ever, some breeders through neglect,
or a lack of knowledge and interest
in the improved types, use sires which
retard the general quality of their
locks and herds, rather than ad-
vance it.
Judging from the quality of native
lambs on the various Missouri mar
kets, lamb producers of this state are
realizing more fully each year the
economy of investing in good sires.
A good strong yearling ram should
be able to serve so ewes. A good
ram when used on a block of grade
ewes is in many cases more than half
the flock, because he will usually have
greater ability to stamp his charac-
ter on the offspring than have the
ewes. So with a small flock Of grade
ewes, worth from 81 to $40 per head.
one can afford to purchase a good
mutton ram. AS the value Of the W
flock increases one can afford a higher
class ram.

Most feeders find better results
from grinding corn for young lambs
although many feed whole grain very
successfully.
The big flocks are going to the far
West all the time and are crowding
the cattle off of the ranges.
One part sulphur and two parts salt
is an excellent combination for sheep.
1t should be placed where they can
always get at it.
Unless you actually love the work.
do not attempt to raise a flock OF
sheep. The shepherd must be in full
sympathy with his flock or else he
cannot be successful.
If you keep your sheep shut up In
a close pen without proper ventila-
ton they will catch cold when they
go out into the cold air.
Sheep will drink nothing but abso-
lutely clean water, and will suffer for
the lack Of it.
A little oil meal fed twice a week
with the bran will prevent indigestion
in sheep.
Sheep should be changed from one
feed to another gradually. They are
delicate and cannot stand sudden
changes of feed any more than sud
den changes of weather.
Never feed more than o%ne-fourth
of a pound per day per head at the
start and when on full feed three or
four weeks later the limit should be
two pounds.

Pathetic Message From Mrs. Young

He was fretful and lonely, for his
wife had taken her first post.nuptial
trip away from him. She would be
away a whole week-a whole week of
loneliness and anxiety. He pictured
her equally-even more-distressed at
the separation. Outside to accenuate
his misery, the rain streamed down in
an unending torrent. The wind
whistled a lugubrious wall as an ac-
compartment to his feelings, and the
thunder put in a few we'll chosen Or

to ring violently just as the clock
struck two. Mr.. Younghusband listened
with mixed Joy and fear. His wife,
perhaps. His eager ear heard the
janitor, sleepy and grumbling. open
the door. A messenger boy, dripping
and soaked, stood without the portal
as the %janitor unbolted the door. He
handed a saturated envelope to the
janitor: "Mr. Younghusband?" ANY

POINTS
IN CARE OF MILK
System of Safeguards Should Be
Observed in Dairy House and
While in Transit.

Milk is kept wholesome after leaV-
ing the COWS by a system or sa1e-
guards observed during milking in the
dairyhouse and while the milk is IN
transit from the farm to the consum-
er.
The precautions observed during
the milking are sterilized white duck
suits for the mixers, careful washing
of hands after each COW is MIXED,
milking through a sieve into the pail
and" straining the milk when it Is
poured from the pail into the can.
The foremilk. as the first milk that
is drawn is called, is also discarded
thus preventing any bacteria when
may have found their way into this
part of the milk from getting into the
milk that is kept.
All the milk is exposed to the barn
air but a very few minutes and is
taken into the dairy Just as soon as
the cans are filled.
The range of yield per pound OF
milk is very wide, 1t taking from
eight to ten pounds Of the richest milk
I'D to 80 and over Of the poorest to
make a pound of butter. The average
of common stock in the country Is
about 25 pounds. Anything between
that and 20 pounds of milk for a
pound of butter is good. Below this
is very good, and extra down to eight
and ten pounds is extraordinary. At
ten pounds to The imperial gallon,
eight quarts would be 20 pounds OF
milk.

First Life Insurance.

None of you, I suppose, when you
sign the new Chronicle insurance
coupon, think of William Gibbons,
though you certainly ought to. For
William, who deserves to be better
known, was the first man to insure his
life. This policy was made in June,
1888, and was for the sum of GSS3 Is.
3D.. for ~ months, l6 underwriters
dividing the risk. And this first pol
icy also produced the first insurance
law case, for when William died, in
the following May, the underwriters
attempted to maintain that IL months
meant 10 periods of 2s days, and had
to be taken into court before they
would pay up.-London Chronicle.

SMALL VS.. LARGE
CHICKEN FL0CKS
Amateur Should Start With Few
Birds and Gradually Work
Up to Full Capacity.

1t seems to be the ambition of the
average amateur t. Immediately get
on top of the heap. He sees no rea-
son why he cannot at once establish
a good income from poultry farming,
and the way he figures out results is
really remarkable.
Do not his figures show that as he
made 81 much profit on so hens, he
can make ten times greater on 500?
He forgets that in the care Of so
fowls he has plenty of time to supply
all their wants, and that they re-
ceived a greater variety Of food than
would be possible to give a flock ten
times larger. The table scraps alone
in the feeding Of SO fowls is an item
which cannot be overlooked and which
in all probability contributed more to
the results than anything else.
In a small flock an ailing fowl Is
more readily noticed than it is in
a large flock, for the reason that the
keeper has more time to carefully in
speCt. In a flock of 500 the attend
ant must hurry up his work of feeding
and watering and cleaning up, and he
at times only mechanically glances at
the birds.
Large focks necessitate the employ
ment of extra labor and the hired
man" question is a serious n on the
poultry farm. It is difficult to secure
a mar who will take the same interest
in the focks that you will. He is
working more for wages than he Is for
the success Of the plant.
The moral is this: Begin small,
grow gradually and stop growing
when your capacity is reached. II
hired help must be employed assign
some particular work to help, but let
the real personal management be in
your own hands. 1t is the only way
to make a large poultry farm pay.

so he chose a low chair which brought
