WONDERFUL HOW RESlN0L
STOPS ITCHING AT ONCE

To those who have endured for years
the itching torments of eczema or other
such skin-eruption, the relief that the
first use of resinol ointment and res
mol soap gives is perfectly incredible.
After all the suffering they have
endured and all the useless treatments
they spent good money for, they can
not believe anything so simple, mild
and inexpensive can stop the itching
and burning INSTANTLY! And they
find it still more wonderful that the
improvement is permanent and that
resinol really drives away the erup-
ton completely in very short time.
Perhaps there is pleasant surprise
like this in store for you. Resinol ONT
ment and resinol soap are sold by all
druggists.-Adv.

CLOVER UPON WINTER WHEAT
Practice Found to Have Number of
Advantaees-Firm, Compact
Seed Bed Is Required.
Az 3. q. wEArHERsToNE.l


Many farmers make a practice of
sowing their clover seed upon the
winter wheat early in the spring,
depending upon the alternate freezing
and thawing of the ground to work
the seed down into the crevices.
have made it practice to sow my
clover seed on winter wheat in the
spring for a number of years and find
that it has a number of advantages.
Grass and clover seed require firm,
compact seed bed.
In my own practice l prefer to- de-
lay the sowing of the clover seed until
the ground is dry enough to harrow
and apply the seed with wheelbar-
row seeder and give the wheat har-
rowing with a light smoothing harrow
with the teeth set well aslant. This
covers the clover seeds and proves
very beneficial TO the wheat crop, es-
pecially during the dry seasons.
Either method is preferable to sowing
seed with spring grain crops.

SATISFIED AS THEY WERE

A vicar of certain English parish
was sitting in his study one morning
when in burst the yerger in a great
state of excitement.
Mr.. -" mentioning the cuTate's
name, wants you at once, sir" he ex-
claimed. He has married two couples
and married the two men to the wrong
women, and he does not know what to
do"
Have they signed the register" in
quired the clergyman.
No" was the verger's response.
Then they can be married again,
said the vicar. Tell Mr.. - / will
be at the church in minute or two
to perform the ceremony"
In due course the incumbent made
his way to the church and found the
parties gathered ct the entrance. Be
fore he could say anything one of tbs
bridegrooms approached and said:
We have been talking it over, sir
and we have made up our minds to re
main as we are" And they did so.

ALL RIGHT IN THE FUTURE
Proof That Little Dorothy Had I'm

Dorothy's mother is suffragette Of
advanced type. Dorothy is a dear
little girl in a primary grade, but
somewhat inclined to copy her elders.
One day her teacher received a note
from the secretary Of the school
board, but waited until after class to
read it. Dorothy returned for some
books and caught tears in the teach
er's eyes 1.-THE latter had been denied
an increase in salary upon which she
had based large hopesl, and said:
Why are you crying?"
The teacher laughed and said, The
naughty old school board isn't nice

should look upon her attendant as a
friend.
The brood sows may run together
up to within two weeks of narrowing
time; then it is well to separate them,
placing each SOW by herself in yard
with small house, which should be
dry. airy, and clean. A great deal of
exercise will not now be necessary.
The feed should be reduced somewhat
and If there is any tendency to consti-
patton, slight change of feed may be
necessary.
The farrowing pen should be pro
vided with tenders around at least
three sides about six to eight inches
from the floor and six to eight inches
from the wall. These should be strong
enough to support the weight of the
SOW should she lie on them. They are
constructed to protect the pigs from
being lain upon during the first few
days Of their lives. This will go far
to prevent a very fruitful cause o.
loss among young pigs for the little

these tenders when the SOW lies down

COMFORT FOR YOUNG CHICKS
Essential Requirements Are Normal
Heat, Clean Quarters, Fresh Air
and Proper Exercise.

The care Of the young chick, from
the time it is Matched until it is sold,
is bound up in the one word com
fort" The normal amount of heat.
clean quarters. good, fresh air with
plenty of room and exercise-these
are the essential requirements, and
they must be supplied. Good breeding
has more to do with healthy chicks
and normal growth than good incuba'
ton. Many persons can hatch large
numbers of chicks, but comparatively
few can raise them successfully. The
experienced breeder begins long before
the Matching season to prepare for
the management OF his growing stock,
by the careful selection of breeders.
Labor and feed will avail little or
nothing if the chicks do not inherit a
strong, vigorous constitution. This
quality is entirely dependent upon the
age and condition of the breeding
stock. Discouragement and failure are
sure to follow where immature pull
lets, diseased hens, or hens of low vi
tally are used as breeders. Only
strong, vigorous hens which have
passed their first year as layers should
go into the breeding pens. The eggs
from such hens which have beer
mated to large, healthy cockerels
should be gathered carefully and KEEP
in a temperature of not more than 81
degrees, and so will not do any harm
The sooner the eggs are incubatet
after being laid the better.
