"My little daughters head began with
a dry harsh scale covering it. First it
got white scale over the top and
then it got dirty brown scab with
pus under it. Her hair came out in
less than week and her head itched
and bled. She had no rest. had her
wear scarf all the time, it looked so
badly. She was SO sore and had such
big brown scabs on her head that the
teacher would not let her attend

CORN CAN BE GROWN
ON CANADIAN PRAIRIES

Manitoba Is now commencing to
produce considerable corn, chiefly for
feeding purposes. In some cases,
where the crop can be matured into
the dough stage, silos could be used
and would be a profitable investment.
According to the Farm and Ranch Re-
view, a correspondent visited a field
of corn in southern Manitoba on Sep
tember 2S. The corn then was un-
touched by frost and it stood ON an
average eight and nine feet in height.
The corn had developed into the
dough stage, and the crop would easily
exceed 20 tons to the acre. At many
experimental farms, the same favor
able showing, of the corn crop has
manifested itself. At the Brandon ex-
perimental farm this year several va
rieties, all very good yielders, matured
into good silo corn.
Considering the success with which
corn can be produced, and the advan-
tages to be gained by so producing it.
should not it receive the serious at
tention of the western agriculturist? :?
Corn is successfully grown in the
northern part of Minnesota in SINH
lar soil and under the same climatic
condition, and there does not appear
to be any reason why like results
should not be secured in western Can
ada. 1t is the opinion of many Ameri-
can farmers of experience that the
corn belt is extending northward. The
prairie provinces must gradually take
up with mixed farming. More stock
on the farms must be raised. and in
consequence farming must to some
extent be diverted from grain growing
to other necessary crops. II crops
suitable for wintering cattle and espe-
cially dairy stock are to be grown,
why should not corn be one of these
crops? In Ontario and in the United
States we find it forms the main bulky
food for wintering beef and dairy cat
tie. They would not be without this
profitable plant In fact, since its in
PRODUCTION almost twice as much stock
can be retained on the same amount
of land, besides considering its great
value for keeping the land clean.
Some may say that many crops that
can be grown in Ontario and the
/ States cannot be grown here, but not
so with corn, even now we find scat
tered fields of corn in Alberta and
Saskatchewan an.--Advertisement

assembled his household for prayer
at stated hour every morning, to
which all visitors were invited-often
having large congregation. His serv-

dumb animals showed a great love
for him, even down to the very pigs.
His much valued servant, forester and
factotum, Tom Purday, was very faith
full, but given to dram drinking and
needless of Sir Walters gentle re-

he must leave his service, but replied:

Boston-s Celebration.

One hundred years ago March IS
Boston celebrated the thirty-eighth an
niversary Of the evacuation of the
city by the British troops under Gen
eral Wilkinson during the Revolution.
The celebration naturally was accom-
panied by great display of enthusi-
asm, for the second war with Great
Britain was then in progress and the
spirit of patriotism was running high.
Flags were displayed in profusion by
the citizens and salutes were fired by
the ships of war in the harbor. A large
military and civic parade was the
spectacular feature of the day. In the
evening there were fireworks and illu-
limitations and a public banquet at
which patriotic addresses were detiv-
cred by officials of the state and City
and officers of the army and navy.

soured on my stomach and caused me
trouble from palpitation of the heart.
So stopped coffee and began to-use

"a neighbor of ours, an old man,
was so irritable from drinking coffee
that his wife wanted him to drink
Postum. This made him very angry,
but his wife secured some Postum and
made It carefully according to direc-
tons.
"He drank the Postum and did not
know the difference, and is still using
it to his lasting benefit. He tells his
wife that the coffee is better than it
used to be, SO she smiles with him and
keeps peace in the family by serving
Postum instead of coffee"

Uric Acid is Slow Poison

Unseen in its approach, hard to de-
tect in its early stages, and cruelty
painful in its later forms, uric acid
poisoning is disease too often fatal.
Bright's disease is one of the final
stages of uric acid poisoning. 1t kills
In our country every year more men
and women than any other ailment
except two-consumption and pneu-
monia. Bright's disease and uric acid
poisoning usually start in some kidney
weakness that would not be hard to
cure, if discovered early, so it is well
to know the early signs of kidney dis
ease and uric poisoning.
When uric acid is formed too fast
and the kidneys are weakened by a
cold, or fever, by overwork, or by over
indulgences, the acid collects, the blood
gets impure and heavy. there is head
ache, dizziness, heart palpitation, and
a dull, heavy-headed, drowsy feeling
with disturbances of the urine.
Real torture begins when the uric
acid forms into gravel or stone in the
kidney, or crystafiizes into jagged bits
in the muscles, JOINTS or on the nerve
tubings. Then follow the awful pains
of neuralgia, rheumatism, gout, sciat-
ica, neuritis, lumbago or kidney collie.

JOKE OF ANCIENT VINTAGE
1t Has Been Accorded to Many
Nationalities.

A joke knows no birthplace and no
date of birth. Jests that are sup
posed to be of modern Irish, or French
or German origin can be found in the
writings of sthe ancient Greeks, who,
perhaps, had them from still earlier
testers. In the Chinese YHsiao-Lin.
Kuang-Chi,' or Laughing Book. are
jokes that even in their oriental garb
are much like jokes we have heard in
western tongues The New York Trib-
une prints one of them:
Two men, Chung and Kung, were
warming themselves before an open
stove. Chung, who was remarkable
for his coolness and loquacity, said to
Kung, who was exceedingly quick-tem-
pered:
My dear Kung, there is something
that should very much like to say
to you. 1t relates to circumstance
have observed for little time past.
But, bearing in mind your somewhat
fiery and quarrelsome disposition, !
have hesitated to mention it to you.
However, have at last decided that,
if do not mention the matter to you,
/ shall do wrong, and | have conse-
quently determined to ask your per
mission to speak to you about it."
We'll, what is it?"

Chung, quietly, lis on fire."

angrily, jumping up and finding his
coat nearly burned off. why in the

gets into markets which would be al
together inaccessible to the little To-
cal concern. Without Capitalization
German cooperation would be much
less effective than it is.
Increased Quantity.
Here in Germany, as elsewhere, CO.
operation has not only enabled the
farmer to make the most out of what
he produces, but has Increased the
quantity and improved the quality of
the product itself. This has been true
in every line where cooperative or
ganizations have become active. The
results in dairying are fairly repre-
sentative. In Bradenburg tests were
made in 1908 which covered the pro-
duction Of over 1000 cows. The av-
erage yieldto milk per cav was found
to be 1851 Kilograms, producing 95 Kill
ograms of butter, and netting a profit
of 108.06 marks per cow. In 1910 the
average yield had increased to 1855
Kilograms Of milk, producing 101 kilo
grams Of butter, and netting 1926
marks profit for each COW, an increase
of 24.59 marl-s per COW, matter OF
$4,000 on the 1000 cows.
German Cooperation Democratic.
German cooperation is, to para
phrase the recognized formula fol
democracy "of the members, by the
members, and for the members" No
body thinks of German cooperative
society as organized for the purpose
of declaring dividends. The utmost
returns that those who hold shares
receive is a five or six per. cent. profit
II creamery, for example, finds it
self with undivided profits it does mo-
distribute them to the members in pro
portion to the shares they hold, bu
to the members who as patrons bring
| in the milk and cream, and they go tt
| them in proportion to the quantity an(
quality furnished by each. These
profits constitute as it were an add
tional price, which the patrons receivs
| for their Product All, too are man
| aged upon the 'one man one vote
plan. The member who holds only ont
share and brings in the milk of onl,
| one cow has the same voting power a,
| the farmer with a thousand shares ant
a thousand cows. Cooperation is mos
emphatically democratic.
| Good Quality and Good Business.
German co-operators themselves
ascribe the success of their societies
largely to good quality and good bust
| ness methods. The societies pridi
themselves upon the fact that thei
output is better than that of privatel.

owned plants. Their goods are in de-
mand, they say, not because they are
cooperative goods, but because they
are good goods. The societies almost
without exception have required that
managers shall be skilled men with
both experience and training. These
positions pay good salaries, and can
didates spend time and money quail
flying themselves to hold them. AS
a result these concerns are most busi-
nesslike in every particular. The
plants are efficient, the employers
competent. and most excellent ac-
counting systems are in vogue.
Cooperative Credit.
It is noticeable that in Germany
there are more cooperative credit so
cieties than marketing societies. More
over, the average German enthusiast
viii tell you that cooperation natu-
rally begins with cooperative credit,
rather than with cooperative market
ing. 1t does not necessarily follow.
however, that in America cooperative
credit associations should precede CO.
operative marketing. Conditions in
Germany differ greatly from those in
the United States.
In the first place, the privately
owned banking houses of Germany did
not serve the German farmer even as
adequately as the American banker is
now serving the American farmer.
In the second place, marketing in
Germany presents practically none of
the difficulties encountered in Amer
lea. Germany has by high tariffs forced
the consumer to depend upon domes-
tic production. The local demand for
almost every farm product exceeds the
supply AS a result there are two
buyers demanding butter, for example.
when only enough butter for one is
available.
There are no long hauls, as in Amer
lea, no long distance commission busi-
ness The producer more nearly meets
the consumer face to face and gets his
price German marketing as compared
to American is direct, simple, and free
from complexities.
We must take the counsel of the
German who ranks cooperative credit
as mere important than cooperative
marketing with caution, since he has
dealt with reversed conditions. We
are firmly convinced, after a careful
survey, that at least in America, the
more prosperous scheme of co-opera-
tive marketing is more important than
cooperative credit.
