Winona, Diocese of (Winonensis),
established in 1889. suffragan of st.
Paul, comprises the following coun-
ties in southern Minnesota: Vino
ma, Wabasha. Olmstead, Dodge.
Steele, Waseca. Blue Earth, Wato-
wan, Cottonwood, Murray, Pipe
stone. Rock, Mobiles, Jackson, Fari-
bault, Martin, Freeborn, Mower, Fill

the diocese is 1922 square miles.
The early Catholic voyagers and
missionaries visited many parts of
Minnesota now under the jurisdiction
of the Bishop Of Winona. In 1860
Groseilliers and Radisson made a
visit to the Prairie Sioux in southern
or southwestern Minnesota. There
are, however, no definite records
showing what route they took or
how far they travelled; in all prob
ability they followed the course of
the Minnesota River. In 1880 Faith
er Hennepin, accompanied by An
tome Augelle and Michael Accault,
set out from Fort Creve-coeur to ex-
plore the upper Mississippi. On the
Minnesota shore the territory which
they passed on the journey from La
Crescent to Lake City now belongs
to the Diocese of Winona. In 1888
Nicholas Perrot established trad
ing post at or near the site of the
present city Of Wabasha. With him
was the Jesuit Father. Joseph Jean
Marest, who labored as missionary
among the Sioux Indians. More
than century and half had elapsed
when Bishop Loras, in 1889, jour-
neyed from Dubuque to Mendoza to
minister to the few Catholics who
had but recently settled in that vi
cinity. In 1910 Father Galtier was
sent to Mendoza. He was the first
parish priest to exercise the sacred
ministry in Minnesota. During his
pastorate at Mendoza, Father Galtier
made many visits to Wabasha. Here
in 1889 Augustine ROGUE had erect
ed a trading post. At Mr.. Rocque's
home Father Galtier assembled the
early settlers and offered for them
the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. In
April, 1913, Monsignor Ravoux
travelling from Mendoza to Dubuque
visited, among other places, Wa.
basha and Winona. In his mem
oirs" he writes that Winona was ther

With the advent of the railroads,

Bishop Cotter was born at Liverpool,

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To alIay 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
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
ment into the parting with a 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 well to place light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. ShampCos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.

SPRING CARE OF LIVE STOCK
Great Mistake Made by Many in Feed
ing Out All of the Succuent
Feeds During Winter.

Every year we see the necessity of
having an abundance of ensilage and
roots to carry the live stock well
through the spring months. 1t is
great, mistake to feed out all Of the
succulent feeds during the fall and
early winter and compel the farm an
Imals to consume the dry, inferior fod-
ders during the spring when they are
falling away in condition. Neither is
it good policy to turn the animals out
to pasture too early in the spring.
II belongs to the penny-wise-and-
pound-foolish policy that too many of
US are practicing. 1t is much better
to spend a few dollars for grain, and
house feed our animals longer than
to expose them to the cold blasts of
late winter and early spring. Sound
policy dictates this and humanity also.
Lice seem to be more troublesome
during the spring when the farm ami
mails are kept inside until warm
weather comes than at any other time
during the year, and as soon as an an
imal is discovered to be lousy, the lice

We have found a strong decoction

these pests if their beds and houses
are kept clean and disinfected.

TO SPREAD MANURE ON LAND
Fertilizer Should Be Spread on Soil
When Grass Is Growing as Loss of
Nitrogen Is Less.

A most excellent way to use fine
manure is to disk it in land where
clover or grass is to be sown in the
late summer or fall. 1t is spread on
the land after it is narrowed down
fairly well and then disked in just be-
fore making the final preparation and
sowing the seed. This method, accord
ing to Southern Agriculture, is not
often practicable, however Unless the
bad practice is followed of holding it
through the summer but little manure
is on hand in the fall and the rush of
work at that time often makes it i'm
possible to haul it out then
Through the. summer and at other
seasons it may be desirable to spread
manure on meadow or pasture land
and allow it to lie for year, or for
years, before blowing. This is more
Wasteful than where the land can be
plowed reasonably soon, but conve-
nience or the need of pasture or Of
meadow that should stand another
year or two may, and often does,
justify the practice. 1t should be
applied at time when the grass is
growing, or near such time, as the
loss of nitrogen will be less then.
Sometimes disking and narrowing the
land at the time will be a good prac-
tice. This will help work the manure
into the soil, will cultivate the land
and will make seed bed if resolving
is intended.

E0ts Freely But
Has No Dyspepsia
a Little Pepsin in q Mild Ldsd-
tfUe Promptly Corrected
q Bad INDIGESTION.

Fortunate is the one who can eat
anything without suffering the tor
lures of dyspepsia, but as few are so
fortunate, care should be taken in the
matter of diet. Eating slowly, masti-
eating the food thoroughly and taking
a. short walk after the heavy meal of
the day will do much towards assisting
digestion. Any grown-up person ought
to know the peculiar foods that do not
agree, and these should be avoided.
When these common-sense aids fail,
the next thing to do is to take a mild
digestive tonic with laxative proper
ties, and there is none better than DR..
CaldWell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t contains
the greatest of all aids to digestion,
good pepsin. 1t has other ingredients
that act mildly on the bowels, which
together form a combination for the
relief of dyspepsia or indigestion that
is unsurpassed.
It's action Is to tone and strengthen
the stomach and bowel muscles so
that they can again do their work nat
urally without outside aid, and when
that happy moment comes all medi-
cine can be dispensed with. 1t is the
best remedy obtainable for any dis

COLD FRAMES MORE POPULAR
Great Many Farmers and Gardeners
Realize What 1t Pays to Grow
Vegetables Under Sash.

Frames are used much more largely
in all parts Of the country than few
years ago, notwithstanding the fact
that greenhouse construction has been
more active. A great many gardeners
have realized that it pays to grow
some vegetables under 3x6 foot sash.
This makes it a good business propo-
sition and when frames are used on a
large scale too much care cannot be
exercised in the preparation Of the
soil. 1t should be fine, fairly level and
contain liberal amounts of sand and
humus. If to be used in the summer
the cross-bars should be easily re
moved so that wheel hoes or horse
cultivators can be used without diff
Guilty, running from end to end of the
long frames. The sash should fit
snugly on the side boards, so that as
little cold as possible will be admitted
under the sash. Lettuce and radish
are especially desirable for frame Gull

Minter Care of Rams.

During the summer months, when
the ram is allowed to run on pasture,
he does not need grain, but in the
winter, if you expect to keep him in
good, vigorous condition, he must be
supplied with grain at least a month
before the breeding season.
A mixture of two parts oats and
one part bran has given unusually
good results in some Of the larger
iocks of the west. This ration does
not produce fat, but does keep up the
vigor of the ram.
1t is impossible to suggest the ex-
act amount to be fed, for this can
only be determined by watching the
animal and studying his conditions.
