To Flake Off An Old
 or SoiIed Complexion

woman need never cease to have a young looking complexion if she will adopt the simple mercolized wax habit. The wax actually takes off the old complexion, with all it's imperfections, and the newer and ilivelier skin which then appears, bears that rare beauty and irresistible loveliness that only a youthful skin possess. The skin is indecd youthful, in reality as well as in appearance The natural process of tissue change which slows up with the passing of the years, and in most conditions, of iIl.hcalth, is hastened along by this mer- trolizs,d wax treatment. Faded, muddy, lfrecl,led or blotc>.g skin is flaked off m ieowd9r- ike rarficles, little each day, caus- ing no inconvenience

Perfects Radio Device.

According to a leading Norwegian
newspaper, Engineer Hermod Peter
son has patented a device for the pro-
1uction Of electrical current for radio
telecraphy.
The electricity is received by an ac-
cumulator, which releases it at certain
Intervals. The system Is sparkless,
and the sounds are clearer than in the
older inventions, says the Scientific
American. The clearness of sound de-
ponds upon the regularity of the cur
rent, and with this system the current
is released with a mathematical ex-
actness.
The device has further advantages
in that it is cheaper, simpler and more
durable than those now in use. If the
claims for this invention prove well
founded, 1t is thought that it will mark
a distinct step in advance of what has
so far been accomplished in this line,
and hence its possibilities are creating
considerable interest in the radio
world.

Lambs bought on the market for fat
tening must be accustomed gradually
to rich green feed like rape, soybeans
or cowpeas, says the University Of
Missouri College of Agriculture. The
method commonly used by successful
feeders is to put the lambs on a COM
paratively dry timothy or bluegrass
pasture upon arrival at the farm.
Here they are allowed to rest and fill
up on grass for couple of days. An
abundance Of good clean drinking wa
ter should be provided at all times.
After a day or two the lambs are
turned into the cornfield for about an
hour, following their morning fill of
grass. They are then returned to the
bluegrass or timothy pasture. This
operation is repeated for three or four
days, and the time the lambs are al
lowed in the cornfield is increased
about an hour each day.
1t is not easy to drive load or two
of lambs out of large cornfield, and

If properly stored after harvest, veg

is located near good sized towns or
cities. In such places a constantly in
creasing number of people are living
in apartments and flats, where they
have storage facilities for only small
quantities of vegetables, or in houses
heated by furnaces in the basement,
making that part of the house too
warm for the storage of vegetables.

there is always the danger of leaving
behind few which have strayed from
the main flock. To avoid this trouble,
fence off "sheep tight" plot of two
or three acres. In this plot grow
forage to be used gradually to accus.
tom the lambs to their regular forage
in the larger field. This plan will be
found very convenient.
The lambs will eat the lower blades
of the corn and will learn to eat the

become troublesome by breaking down
the stalks in order to get to the ears,
II sufficient food is provided. If it is
desirable to pasture off the grain in
stead of husking out the corn, it will

mo one ever made sheep fat by
stinting them" 1t should be remem'
bered that as the fall season advances,
feed becomes scarce and unpalatable.
If the lambs are to be marketed as
fat lambs they should not be forced
to remain in the cornfield too long
without some additional feed. This is
particularly true where rape is not
available. 1t is necessary about
November 1 to begin feeding sor1e
grain in addition to the forage. Many
feeders also feed hay at this time, Civ
ing the lambs each evening as much
as they will eat before morning. A
few of the larger feeders begin feed
ing corn silage about November l.
AS much silage as the lambs will eat
up clean in about an hour, is the right
amount to feed both morning and eve
ming.
Provide plenty of salt and good wa.
ter. Shed or barn shelter is not ali
solutely necessary, but it is advisable
to have shelter to protect the lambs
from the cold fall rains.

POULTRY SUFFER FOR WATER
Lack Is Detrimental to Health and
Has Indirect Bearing
on Productivity.

allowing fowls to suffer, even for
short periods, for the want of water
is not only detrimental to robust health,
but has an indirect bearing on pro-
ductivity. Green food in variety is
beneficial not only because it helps
Stake thirst, but for its mineral salts
and its feeding value as roughage. For
this reason it should be fed in liberal
quantities. and pure water should not
only be always available, but in full
measure. Both stand for health and
productive values.

Protecting by Insulation.

In sections where low temperatures
prevail it is necessary to insulate the
storage cellar or house so that the veg
etables will not freeze. The above
ground type Of house much used in
many sections of the North, has thick
walls filled with sawdust or shavings.
1t is necessary that pains be taken
to provide for proper ventilation. In
many northern sections large storage
cellars are built partly underground.
Concrete storage cellars are coming
into quite general use. Outdoor banks
and pits are also familiar means en-
ployed to protect vegetables in cold
weather. The conical pit is used CON-
monty for such vegetables as pota-
toes, carrots, beets, turnips, satisfy,
parsnips, and heads of cabbage. The
bureau Of plant industry has issued
a Farmers Bulletin, No. $40, which
gives detailed Instructions regarding
the construction of these storage
places.
All vegetables which the farmer OF
