HOW TO MASSAGE THE
SCALP PROPERLY.

Massage your scalp, but do not
rub the hair.
Separate the hair and rub
raselinc on the scalp gently, then
place the tips of the fingers firm
~ on the scalp and work all
over the scalp with rotary mo-
ton, and move the scalp with
each rotation of the fingers.
The reason so many persons
rub the young hairs Off is be
cause they rub the fingers back
and forth over the hair instead
OF moving and loosening the
scalp.
IT is the loosening of the scalp
by moving il with each rotation
that does so much good. Many
so called professionals call rub
bling massage and. Of course, do
not get good results.

ANSWER TO THE
MONEYLESS MAN

There are places not secret where
Virtue has birth,
Where Charity dwells on this beauti-
full earth;
Where mercy and kindness are joined
hand in hand,
And PHYS tear falls at the warm
hearts command.
There are doors that the least gentle
knock will unbar,
And others that swing on their hing
es ajar,
Giving egress to angels who lovingly
scan
The woes and the wants Of the Mon
eyless Man.
Does he work? Does he strive? Is he
faithful and true?
Does he know what man has done,
and what he may do?
Or does he creep on with the slug
CARDS slow pace,
And refuse to take part in ambitions
proud race?
Does he drink while his neighbor, with
whole heart and soul,
Is giving his strength to be first at
the goal?
If such be his crimes, pity him if you
can
Content to be scorned at Moneyless
Man.
Labor, taught by the brain, with its
strong, skilled hand,
Has reared princely palaces over the
land,
and the man who will work will, soon
err or late,
Cease to sigh like Vagrant, at some
rich mans gate.

CHANGING BREEDS
OR CHANGING FEEDS

In travelling over the country we Of
ten find poultry breeders who are
continually changing from one breed
to another, and in the same way. we
find them changing from one feed or
system of feeding to another. Meth
er seems to make very much pro-
gress.
The first man seems to think that
all depends upon the breed or variety
and when one breed fails for him, he
sells the stock he has, buys a new
start and begins all over again, but
follows the same old system of feed
ing and care which failed before, and
as a result, in two or three years, is
ready to sell out and try some other
breed.
The other man thinks it is all in
feeding and tries everything he hears
of in the form of poultry food, not
staying with one feed or system of
feeding long enough to get definite
results.
The facts are that neither breeding
nor feeding alone will succeed, but
proper breeding and proper feeding
will bring good results.
OF the many lessons learned in the
Egg Laying contests conducted at this
station, the two which stand out very
prominently are that there is no
"best" breed and 'best" feed. Almost
every breed and variety can point
with pride to some winning made in
the contest. This leads us to believe
that there is more in the breeding
than there is in the breed or variety,
and that strain tells more than either.
In other words, we believe that it is
possible through breeding to produce
either high or low egg producers.
1t is also true that person can in
fiuence the number Of eggs produced
through the feeding. The proper So
luton of this problem is for every
poultry raiser to select the variety he
likes best and which is best suited to
his conditions, and improve his stock
by selecting breeding stock and work
out a system Of feeding which is the
most practical, using as a base fol-
the ration the feed which is the cheap
est and easiest obtained, and purchas-
ing only such feeds as are needed to
produce a balance.

try, write Missouri State Poultry Elk

ANCIENT GRAVE
NEAR HARTFORD
OHIO COUNTIAN FINDS nAss OF
HUMAN BONES BURIW ~
MOUND.
WALLED WITH STONES
Pit Was Well Constructed Bus Dsdies
Were Piled PrOniscuouly-
Relieved Indian.

While excavating for stone to be
used in the foundation Of a new
house which he is going TO build
nearby, Mr.. Barrett Russell, who
lives four miles East of Hartford,
discovered a pit in which we're de-
posted the bones of about fifteen hu-
man bodies. The grave was walled
with stone and showed that great
pains had been taken in its construc-
ton. The bones were in a good
state of preservation and wore ex-
amined carefully by Mr.. Russell. 1t
seems, however, that little care was
taken i'm depositing them in their
resting place as some of the skele-
tons we're lying across the ones be-
meath them.
of an infant. The second teeth were
| in the act of pushing the first set
/ from their seat, which fact indicates
that the child was from five to six
years old There were remains of
other infants but most of the skele-
tons apparently belonged to adults.
The remarkable discovery of Mr..
Russell, it seems, is not generally
known as yet. but in the immediate
vicinity where the news has spread
there is much speculation as to what
race the people buried in the mound
belonged. Because of the fact that
| the grave was found on "a slight
mound some believed it a burying
place of the ancient Mound Build
ters. Others believe the bodies were
buried by Indians, and recall the Wis
ii to this section of an old Indian q
year or two ago as their proof. The
Indian came to the neighborhood
where the grave was found in search
of an old Indian burying ground. He
made inquiries of several citizens
living nearby and produced a map of
the section in which the grave was
supposed to be located. He stayed
there several days but his search was
failure and he was forced to give
up the hopes of finding the resting
place of his kinsmen.
This theory is the most plausible
and it is likely that there are other
graves in the vicinity. 1t was entire
ly by accident that this pit was die
covered for had Mr.. Russell not been
seeking the large stones covering the
grave its existence would never have
been known.
