Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkal This dries the
scalp. makes tn hair brittle, and is very
harmful Just plain mulsiied cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less) is much better than the most ex-
pensiSe soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub il in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance OF rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily
and removes every particle of dust,
dirt dandrnff and excessive oil The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and il
leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy
end easy to manage
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
most any drug store II is very cheap,
and few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.

Unite in Thrashing Grain.

The farm bureau in Columbia county
Conn, discovered through its agricultur-
al survey last March that the spring
planting Of small grains would be great
er than usual, but it was found also
that the town of Columbia owned nc
thrashing machine. AT meeting OF
farmers called by the county agent a
committee was appointed to induce, il
possible, a man to buy thrashing ma
chine and do the work. A man was
found. He bought a new machine and
declared himself ready TO begin. The
farmers agreed to let him thrash all
their grain at seven cents bushel, the
farmers furnishing power. The machine
followed an itinerary mapped out by
the farmers committee, instead of visit
ing farms at random, as has been the
custom in that state. Grain was
thrashed much more quickly and at a
cost much less than heretofore. This
plan is thought to be good example OF
efficient coz operation

OPINIONS ON FARM BUREAUS.
Expressions from Farmers in Various
Parts of Vermont.

From an Orleans county farmer: 1.-THE
formation of the Orleans County Agri-
cultural association and the appoint
ment Of a county agent has been very
beneficial to me and, | think, to all farm
ers of the county who have taken ad-
vantage of it. The county agent has
been particularly helpful by advice Civ
en- in regard to mixing chemicals in the
right proportions for the various crops,
mixing of grains to make balanced ra-
ton and by the testing of seed grains
for purity and advising the proper
amounts to usep
A Chittenden county farmer says: 81
think that the county agent helps the
farmers to cooperate. We have be-
come better acquainted, we have come
to a better understanding of our common
problems, and, because we have bet
ter understanding Of our common prob
lens, we are able TO see more clearly
our own needs and are better enabled
to solve our problems in more bust
ness-like ssay. From this spirit OF co
operation we have learned that we do
not know it all and that neighbor Jones
can show us a thing or two we don't
know IL would be a calamity to the
farmers to be obliged to return to the
old pre-country agent days"
A Rutland county farmer remarks as
follows; ut is not easy TO answer Just
how the county agent has helped me as
farmer in special way, as / find the
greatest help is having some place to
90 with problems which come up and
feel that l am intruding on no one when
| ask for information, and for that rea-
son getting help more promptly and
using it for present needs, instead Of
so much delay that it could not be used
till the next season and perhaps be for
gotten by that time. / might give as
special helps; Soil testing for acidity,
treating oats and barley for smut, the
value of rape for hog pasture, the value
of self-feeders for hogs and how to con-
struct one. / believe the help to the
county to be much greater than might
appear from the number of farmers who
go to the county agent for advice; the
increased interest in COW testing, the
growing of soy beans, more clover, ETC.,
in fact, every man who has had assist
ance and raised better crops in conse-
quence exerts a certain influence on ev-
cry farmer who sees those crops grow
