Why Tolerate Catarrh?

You have noticed, no doubt, that any
cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the
flow of mucous amazes you that such
Objectionable matter could find lodg
ment in your head. To ignore this
catarrh when the cold subsidies is
wrong because it continues to slowly
injure the delicate Innings of the nasal
passages and clog them up.
To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos
trils frequently with solution of warm
water and salt, insert vaseline on re-
firing, and take spoonful Of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals for one month.
SCOTS acts through the blood to feed
the tissues, and contains soothing
glycerine to check the inflammation
and heal the sensitive membranes.
SCOTS is pleasant to take.

SOIL MULCH OF IMPORTANCE
Dry Farmer Must Remember That His
Success Depends Upon Degree to
Which He Prevents Waste.

So vitality important is permanent
soil mulch for the conservation for
plant use of the water stored in the
soil that many attempts have been
made to devise means for the effective
cultivation of land on which small
grains and grasses are growing. In
many places plants have been grown
in rows so far apart that man with
a hoe could pass between them. SEQ
field has described this method as
practiced successfully In Tunis. Camp
bell and others in America have pro-
posed that a drill hole be closed every
three feet to form path wide enough
for a horse to travel in and to pull
large spring-tooth cultivator with
teeth SO spaced as to strike between
the rows Of wheat. 1t is yet doubtful
whether, under average conditions,
such careful cultivation, at least of
grain crops, is justified by the returns.
Under conditions of high aridity or
where the store of soil moisture il low,
,ch treatment frequently stands be-
tween crop success and failure, and it
il not unlikely that methods will be de-
vised which will permit Of the cheap
and rapid cultivation between the rows
of growing wheat. Meanwhile, the
dry farmer must always remember
that the margin under which he works
is small, and that his success depends
upon the degree to which he prevents
small wastes.
The conservation of soil-moisture
depends upon the vigorous, unremit-
ting, continuous stirring of the topsoil,
Cultivation! cultivation! and more cul-
| tivation must be the war cry of the
| dry farmer who battles against the
| water thieves of an arid climate

EXCESSIVE BLOWING OF SOIL
Subject of Vital Importance to Many
Farmers-Moving Dirt Acts Much
Like an Anger in Action.

1t is only where there is excessive
blowing of the soil that damage oc-
ours. 1t is a well-known fact that il
one can prevent the soil from start
ing on the windward side, the prob
lem has been solved. When once the
wind begins to move the soil from the
windward side of the field, the moving
dirt acts much like an auger, working
and twisting, loosening and tightening
the soil in front of it, until the wind
sweeps freely through or across the
field, taking the loosened soil and
leaving the exposed roots to wither
and die.
The movement of soil is natural
Both wind and water serve as vehicles
for the continual carrying of dirt from
place to place. 1t would be quite i'm
possible to prevent absolutely the
movement Of soils, but it is by no
means an impossibility to prevent dan
gerous movement.
