ERUPTION DlSFIGURED FACE

Lock Box 35, Maurice, 1a.-"ln the
spring Of 1911 our little daughter, age
five years, had a breaking out on her
LID and part of her cheek that we
took for ringworm. 1t resembled a
large ringworm, only IT differed IN
tina. 1t was covered with watery bis
tiers that itched and burned terribly,
made worse by her scratching IT,
Then the blisters would break through
and let out a watery substance. She
was very cross and fretful while she
had it and had very little rest at
night. When the eruption was at It's
worst the teacher of the school sent
her home and would not allow her to
attend until tho Disagreement Of her
face was gone.
IL wrote and received a sample OF
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, which
we used according to directions, and
they gave instant relief, SO we bought
some more. 1t gradually grew better
We kept on using Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and in three or four months
the child was entirely cured

EXCELLENT NOTES
ON CARE OF SWINE
All of Leading Breeds Are Adapt
ed to Economical Production
Keep Animals Healthy.

The use Of corn in ~hog-feeding
should be tempered with judgment.
The corn and hog crop go hand in
hand. A man starting In farming In
the West relies upon this combination.
The hog from first to last is capable
Of getting a large proportion OF its
feed from grass.
We are apt to make the mistake OF
feeding grain too freely because the
hog utilizes it SO efficiently and eco
nomically.
No breed enjoys any marked prefer
ence in the markets Of the country.
All of the leading breeds are adapted
to economical production.
To have healthy swine on the farm
the first essential is to have good, Wig
orous, healthy, breeding animals.
Sunbeams, crude carbolic acid and
fectant.
When hog-waterers are used they
should be cleaned frequently and a
lump Of quicklime dropped in the bar
rels occasionally will assist in keeping
them sweet and clean.
Health and drugs have no affinity
in the successful management Of q
herd Of swine.
Health is natural. Disease unnat-
ural. Both are contagious.
II in the fight between health and
disease we give nature a little encour
agement we will come off victorious.
1t is, after all, more our mission to
keep our hogs healthy than to allow
them to keep themselves In that condi-
ton.
We should keep the hogs close com
pany, study their habits and their re-
quirements and then cater to them.
Add to this, humane treatment; and
we have solved the whole problem.
Mud is not a good thing to feed pigs
in, dust is worse. Both should be
avoided as much as possible.
A short nose is good. but a long
body is better.

Then again there is another matter
that enters into the economy of the
feeding question, and that is the mat
ter of selling the cattle before they
are finished. There are times when
it will be more money In the feeders
pocket to sell the cattle when they
are just off grass, even though the
price seems small compared with what
corn-fed cattle are selling for.
Farmers who are going into the
business would do well to raise a
high class Of feeding animals and feed
only what they can handle to the
most profitable advantage on their
own farms. and sell when the prices
are right.
Sell when just of grass if the price
is right and grain foods are high.
Feed well on a variety OF well cured
alfalfa. clover and corn stover and a
liberal grain ration.
Raise the breeds best adapted for
the one special purpose and keep in
close touch with the market condi'
tons In relation to both feed and beef
If the cattle are to be full fed, Sc
lect the full-feed period with intelli
gent discrimination and precaution.

FOR BUSY HOUSEWIVES

Knives which have been used for
onions and smell Of them a be
cleaned by drawing them through a
piece of carrot two or three times.
To remove hot-water marks from
iapanned trays use sweet oil. Rub 1t
Ia we'll till all marks disappear, then
polish the tray with dry -four and a
soft cloth.
When gilt frames or mOlding OF
looms have specks of dirt from flies
and other causes upon them they may
be cleaned with white Of egg applied
with a camel-hair brush.
Peel onions from the root upward
and they will not make your eyes
smart.
Save cold tea left from supper and
use in place of water on your house
plants.
Starch should be mixed with soapy
water, for thus the linen will have a
glossy appearance and be less
likely to stick to the iron.
Silver teapots that have not beer
used for some time get musty and sc
give a peculiar flavor. This can be
prevented by putting a lump of sugal
into the pot before putting away.

WITHHOLD TRUTH IN MERCY
Authors Opinion Of Why Women Use
"Tact" instead Of Being Too
Plainly Outspoken.

81 call a woman sincere" NARROW be-
gan after giving me a cigar n light

really would like to say, what she
really thinks ought TO be said II II
were not for the necessity TO spare the
stupid constituencies of men. The
woman's rougher, simpler. more up
right Judgment embraces the whole
truth, which their tact, their mistrust
Of masculine idealism, ever prevents
them from speaking in its entirety.
And their tact is unerring. We could
not stand women speaking the truth.
We could not bear it. 1t would cause
infinite misery and bring about most
awful disturbances In this rather medi'
OGRE but still idealistic fools paradise
in which each of us lives his own little
life-the unit in the great sum OF eN'
istence. And they know it. They are
merciful."-From Chance" by Joseph

Not Dependent on Hired Help.

James Thompson, manager OF the
largest hotel in Cleveland, Ohio, was
born in a little village in that state.
Not long ago Thompson's father. who
still lives in the village where James
was born, was approached by an old
woman, a lifelong friend Of the family.
In the course of the conversation she
asked:
by the way, what's become OF lit.
lie Jimmie, your son."
oh replied the father, hes In
Cleveland, getting along nicely. He's
manager of the biggest hotel In that
city"
The old lady shook her head dubi'
ously.
Well" she said, 81 hope Jimmie's
strong enough to stand the work; but
I'm afraid hotel work Is too hard for
him-lifting so many trunks around

YES" replied the father. hes been
married for some time"
The old woman sighed happily.

(By L. NJ. B~ENNINGTOND

One Of the chief disadvantages that
most cattle feeders have to contend
with Is the purchase of feeders from
some remote district. If it is possible
to select a small bunch of good quail
ity. uniform-siZed feeders Of about the
same age in his own neighborhood
they will make a more profitable lot
of feeders for the average farmer to
finish than the class Of feeders that
come from some remote district.
Many failures among feeders can
be. traced directly to the fact that
they are not acquainted with the eff
fects Of acclimation and domestication
of the purchased feeders and fail to
get them started off in good condi-
ton.
Then again ONE farmers come to
the conclusion hat it is Improbable
to keep a herd of cows and believe
that they can buy their feeders for
less money than they can afford 70
grow them. These men soon find
their mistake, and many who have
sold their COW herds are now develop
ing new herds for the purpose OF
raising their own feeders.

OF COURSE FARMER
SHOULD KEEP SHEEP
Profitable Method of Getting Rid
of Weeds Is to Sell Them in
Mutton at SC q Pound.
CBy c.. d, LYOS,)

Some men were looking over a
weedy pasture and n Of them said:
What shall | do with these weeds?'
Quick as a flash his neighbor said:
Sell them in mutton at 6 cents a
pound"
Every man knows his own business
best and can best decide what kind OF
stock will pay him the greatest profit,
but on most farms there Is room for
a small flock of sheep and at the end
of the season the money the wool and
lambs will bring will be that much
clear profit.
Going back to the first proposition,
that of the weeds hat infest ~ fields
It may be said hat while growing
sheep entirely upon weeds. Is not
a plan t o be advised, they will eat
nearly every weed that grows upon a
farm and will put on good, solid fat
upon stuff that cattle and horses re-
fuse.
The most tractable Of all farm stock.
they can be managed with less trou-
BILE than other stock, all that is re-
CURED to restrain them being a wire
net fence of the cheapest grade.
The other day ] was talking over
the sheep question with some friends
and while we did not agree as to
breeds, we were unanimously in favor
Of the breed of sheep that will bring
a good heavy shipping lamb with the
fleece a secondary confederation.
This Is the very season to think OF
starting a flock as a great many flock
masters sell off some yves as SOC as
shearing time is over, and unless a
man has plenty Of means in these days
he will have to start with such ewes
as he can buy on the market, thor
oughbreds being almost out OF the
question for the ordinary farmer.
