WOMAN MANAGING
farm At EIGHTY

Marion, o., June 6.-Sixty-one
years ago today Eunice Covert, a
direct descendant of the historically
famous Roger Williams of Rhode
Island, and D'Estaring Salisbury Co
vert of Cincinnati. plighted their
troth in the spacious drawing room
of the picturesque home here. The
furniture and mural decorations of
the room are the same as they were
the day that Salisbury, now dead,
claimed his bride, who is now in her
eightieth year. Despite her age she
is student Of intensive and scien-
tific farming. She manages the larg-
est agricultural lands in Marion
county, left her by her father, who
bought 1000 acres from the Govern
ment for $3.50 an acre in 1921. Mrs.
Covert's mother, Sophia Sweetser
Concklin, taught President Ruther-
ford B. Hayes his letters in school at
Delaware, Ohio. Mrs. Covert says
that Hayes, when President-elect,
claimed Mrs. Concklin gave him his
first start toward the Presidency of
the United States. Since receiving
her large inheritance, Mrs. Covert
has been her own business agent.
With her farmer tenants, she plans
the crops and is almost as active as
when girl. She is busy every min
ute and claims she has never found
time to grow old, that she is "al-
ways busy doing something"

TAKES OFF DANDRUfF HAIR STOPS FALLING
Girls! Try This! Makes Hair Thick. Glossy. Fluffy, 6eautiful-No
 More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli- cation of Danderine you cannot find . single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch. but what will please you most will be after a few weeks use. when you see new hair. fine and downy at first-yes-but really new hair-growing all over the scalp.
 A little Danderine immediately dou- bies the beauty of your hair. No diff ference how dull. faded. brittle and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect is amaz- ins-your hair will be light. fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incomparable luster. softness and luNuriance
 Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any store. and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any-that it has been neglected or injured by careless trestment-that's all-you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of 1t if you will just try a lit. tie Danderine. Adv.

and need the best care when work in the fields is most pressing.
 Fourth. the lactation period is heightened and the amount of milk given during the year increased. Cows that freshen in the spring milk heav- lily while grass is good, but as the pas lures dry up the flow of milk falls of and with the approach Of winter the COWS are nearly dry.
 Fifth. fall calves can be raised bet ter than those born in the spring. Young calves should be fed on milk for several months. after which they must be weaned and fed on solid food. If they are born in the spring, they will be tormented by flies all summer, they may be neglected because of the farm work, and when it is time to wean them they must be put on a dry winter ration.
 As more milk can be produced. high CT prices obtained. the labor more evenly distributed throughout the year. and better calves raised. winter dairy. ing offers the best returns to pro ducers.

Men in the Trenches.

Men who have been under fire iI the trenches or in the open, with shells falling all around them and men stricken on all sides. will tell you that they had no fear as long as they could fight and bear their part of the strug- gle.
 But when wounded. lying powerless and helpless on the field, the enemy descending on them, fear of the un. known. of the long hours of waiting torture, of what fate had in store for them, has wrung groans from hearts that no pain could influence.
 Each sound, each movement con. tained a menace for which they had no name, no reason. but which was full of unutterable horror. and for which there was no relief but merciful inconsistencies or removal into the zone of peace and safety.

A GOOD CHANCE. A Change of Food Works Wonders

Wrong food and drink cause a lot ol trouble in this world. To change is first aid when a person is i'll, particu larly from stomach and nervous trou bles. As an illustration: A lady :r Mo. was brought around to health again by leaving off coffee and some articles of food that did not agree with her.
 She says:
 For a number of years I suffered with stomach and bowel trouble which kept getting worse until l was i'll most of the time. About four years ago I left off coffee and began using Postum. My stomach and bowels improved right along. but I was so re- duced in flesh and so nervous that the least thing would overcome me.
 Then l changed my food and began using Grape-Nuts in addition to Postum. I lived on these two princi- pally for about four months. Day by day gained in flesh and strength un- til the nervous trouble had disap- peared. I feel that I owe my health to Postum and Grape-Tuts.
 Husband was troubled. for a long time, with occasional cramps, and slept badly. Finally I prevailed upon him to leave of coffee and take Postum. After he tried Postum for . few days he found that he could sleep and that his cramps disappeared. He never went back to coffee" Name gwen by Postum Co, Battle Creek. Mich.
 Postum comes in two forms:

Easily Constructed Breeding Crate.

A description and illustration is given herewith of a breeding crate described in Farmers Bulletin No. e05. issued by the United States de- partment of agriculture.
 The best size is six feet long. two feet four inches wide and two and one half feet high. It is made of two by four inch scan,ling, closed in front and open behind. On each side nail a two by four inch strip, reaching from the bottom at the rear end to a point about fl or l6 inches from the top at the front end for the boar to rest his feet on.
 The holes in the side cleats are for an iron rod to run through, just be- hind the sow's hook joints. The cut shows the bottom boards put in lengthwise.
 If put in lengthwise, the boar will not slip so much.
 Light slats nailed crosswise will pre- vent slipping.

The feeder should not rush up to the steers. soaring them. but should, rath. CT, approach the cattle with the great est care and consideration. getting them up as quietly as possible. Pas lures for cattle in quiet. secluded places are more valuable for fattening cattle than are those adjacent to pub lie roads or adjoining pastures where horses or breeding cattle are kept. Cattle soon respond to kind treatment and will feed better and make more rapid and economical gains.
 As to the number of cattle that should be run together in the same feed lot, it is customary to run them in droves of 100. There is no doubt. however, that except for convenience in caring for the cattle, smaller droves would be advisable. but they should be at least carefully assorted as to age and weight.
 The best method of watering is to keep water before them at all times. If one is to follow mature, this is the ideal system, as undoubtedly an ami malls thirst is its guide as to when it requires water. In whatever way wa ter is supplied. it is important that they receive water whenever they need it. and before any suffering from thirst is experienced. A system that does this with the least labor will be satisfactory. If cattle are warm. they should not be allowed water. as it will cause securing
