from a colony of tiny germs which

the million. Although commonly
called skin diseases" because they
set up the visible evidence of their
disturbance on the surface Of the
skin. all successful treatment must
come through the blood. This
makes it clear why you cannot ex-
pect any real substantial relief
from local remedies applied to the
surface of the skin.
There is no danger of ever be-
ing afflicted with skin diseases as
long as the blood is in perfect con-
dItion. 1t is only logical. there
fore, that the proper treatment for
pimples, blotches. sores. boils.
rough red scaly skin is TO purify
the blood of the tiny germs thai
cause these disorders.
When any of these symptoms
appear on any part Of your body.
you should take prompt steps to
rid the blood of the germs which
cause them. And the one remedy
which has no equal as a blood
cleanser is S. S. s.. the purely veg
etable blood remedy which has
! zen On the market for more than
hhJ years. S. S. S. is sold by
druggists everywhere.
DO not expect to be cured of
any form of skin disease by the
use of lotions. salves. ointments or
other local treatment. as such rem
edies cannot possibly reach the
source of the trouble. which is the
blood.

due to the action of bacteria. The

To further the study of the Nor
gan as a saddle breed, the United
States Department of Agriculture has
sent the 2-year-old Morgan stallion
Lucky from the Morgan horse farm
at Middlesbury, VT, to the Santa
Gertrudis ranch at Kingsville, Tex.
This is the "home ranch" of the
famous King Ranch, one of the larg-
est and best known cattle and horse
breeding establishments in the United
States. The Bureau of Animal In
dustry is paying close attention to
the saddle possibilities of the Morgan
horse. The King Ranch will breed
Lucky to some of its high class mares
and make a careful study of the pro-
duce.
Lucky is a brown stallion IA 81
hands high and weighs 925 pounds.
He was sired by Hugo. Hugo was
sired by Meteor Morgan and is out
of Calve by General Gates. The dam
of Lucky is Eunice by General Gates
and out of Caroline by Daniel Lam
bert. Lucky, his sire and dam, and
one of his grand dams were bred at
the government farm at Middlebury'
Lucky arrived safely at his new home
on July %.
Morgans have always been noted
for their endurance and stamina, and
have been used TO some extent on the
range for the production of COW po-
MES. The outcome of this systematic
study in cooperation between the
King Ranch and the Buraeu OF Ami
NAL Industry will be watched with
much interest by horse breeders.

waste in feeding silage than in feed
ing fodder, since good silage properly
fed is consumed. When corn is cut
for silage the land is cleared and
left ready for another crop sooner
than when the corn is shocked or is
husked from the standing stalk. Corn
can be put into the silo at a cost not

More Food Value From Corn silage

More Food Value From Corn Silage
Almost any green crop can be
made into silage successfully. Much
care, however, must be taken to
expel the air from such hOllow-tem-
med plants as the small cereal grains
by cutting fine and packing firmly.
Other crops, of which legumes are
examples, are deficient in the fer
mentable constituents needed for
paIatable silage. On the other hand,
a few crops, such as the saccharine
sorghum, have so much sugar that
unless cut at a more mature stage
they have a tendency to produce sour
silage.
In most parts of the United
States more food materials can be
obtained from an acre of corn as ST.
lage than from an acre of any 9TH
er crop that can be grown. Corn
is more easily harvested and put
into the silo than crops like rye

The advantage of wool pooling and
cooperative selling may well be out
lined as permitting the growers to
sell their wool collectively in a large
volume, thus attracting a large num-
Der of buyers and making possible the
payment of the full value Of the wool.
The larger buyers are not attracted
by individual clips unless they are of
considerable magnitude such as some
of those produced by the larger
ranchers in the West. Nor is the To-
cal buyer able to pay the full price for
woods which must be purchased a few
fleeces at a time and carried at his
personal expense and risk until suf-
ficient volume has been accumulated
to permit his Shipment to some CEN
trail wool market,
Volume handling such as is possible
where the entire clip of the communi-
ty is sold collectively reduces the cost
per pound of buying and handling
and will permit the purchaser, wheth-
err local wool merchant or some out
side buyer, OF pay a higher price per
