FISH SKIN

FISH ShlN
 Rarely there are people whose skin is dry and rough and tends to warty growths. In some cases the extensor surfaces (such as the back of the e1- bow or the front of the knee) are mostly affected. in others the whole skin is involved. In the severer eases the skin is thickened, horny and fssured. The color of the scales is usually white and silvery; where fore doctors speak of tichyosis (fish skin malady.) And those enterpris- ing individuals who used to be seen fish men, had this peculiarity of the skin. In very severe cases the skin is green blackish. Sometimes there is a. pointed or spinous appear off. showing a dry and shrivelled skin. This is in most cases a congenital condition; though it is not apt to show itself until the second year or later. It begins with unusual dryness. The hair in such cases is apt to be brittle and to lack lustre- The general health is usually good; though in the severer cases the skin may become sore from Assures form ing in the cold weather.
 By persistent care the skin may be kept in a very comfortable and good condition. The scales must be re- moved and the skin rendered soft by means of emollient applications. water. or steam baths with soap frictions will do very we'll for most cases. In severe cases a vigorous in unction with a 10 per cent. SaHcyic acid ointment (to be had of any druggist) will soften epidermal accu- mutations.

was beginning to slither upon the drip

raised when the Boss laid the boat
nearer the south shore with the re-
mark:

The Pearlhunter made no answer.
Crouched down by the jack light well
toward the bow of the boat, he had
been for some time watching the un-
usually thick tangle of winding marks
upon the Shiny bottom, piowed there
by the mussels or clans while feed
ing, dozens and hundreds of the creep
ing bivalves, half buried in the oOZe,

The Boss was In the very act of
turning the boat across the river to
the camp when he was startled by an
excited exclamation from his compan-
ion. who had suddenly leant low and
dangerously far out over the water.
He was up on the instant and had
flashed the jack light around the boat.
In his dripping hand there was an i'm
mense river mussel.
The old Boss had no sooner caught
the bluishpurple glitter shedding from
the hinge knobs of the giant bivalve
than he uttered shout that walked
the echoes up and down the river
shore, and brought the five men at the
camp running down to the waters
edge.
"a Blue MoOn" he yelled. "By the
gods. Blue Moon!"
He snatched 1t from the hand of his
companion and held 1t under the full
glare of the jack light. Next moment
he had handed it back and was driv-
ing the boat to shore, where the first
| glance at the peculiar markings Of the
mussel Instantly threw the whole
camp into the widest excitement.
They spread down by the light OF
the fire the whitest cloth the camp af-
forded. and the Boss cut the mussel
open. One pearl, large, lustrous,
dropped out upon the cloth and lay
twinkling up into their faces like q
fallen star. It passed from hand to

The farmers problems appear, all

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In choosing a farm one has the Op-
tions of buying with the intention Of
operating the place as his entire busi-
ness, buying a small farm and renting
enough additional land to meet his
needs, or renting farm either on the
share or cash basis. Ones choice in
the matter is usually determined by
the funds available.
If one has only a small amount Of
capital and wishes to undertake farm
ing as a business from which to de-
nearly all cases, begin as renter.
However, if he wishes to buy n farm
on which to live. deriving part of his
income from other sources, then, pos
sibly, purchasing Is desirable, even IL
capital is limited.
Whatever course is followed, it Is
highly desirable that one thoroughly
understand the basic principles gov
erning the farm business before de-
Gliding some of the finer points. A dis
regard of these basic principles Is re-
sponsible for large proportion of
farm failures.
A man may unconsciously work all
his life against some economic barrier
when success would have been COM
paratively easy If he had selected a
farm where the economic principle
would aid him instead of working
against him.

try Is imperative. There is.
perhaps, no single solution for
the situation which the farmers
are now facing, but there are
many steps which can be and

riculture on more satisfactory
basis and to stabilize the busI-
ness of farming, not In the in.

as Americas sixth crop. Government
statistics show rank of crops in this
order: Wheat, corn, cotton, hay,

Money in Producing Fuel.
With one of the practical, low-priced
power log saws now on the market,
the farmer can make his farm pay
substantial profits by producing fuel
"a commodity that has held up well
in price and for which there is an al
most unlimited demand Then, too,
there Is always a steady market for
ties, fence posts and timbers that
can easily and quickly be cut with
these lightweight, portable machines.
In this way the farmer, with little
work or expenses, can realize good
profits and still hang on to his grain
and live stock If he wants to, until
prices get better.
On nearly every farm in most sec
tions of the country there is timber
in more than sufficient quantities for
home use. There are live trees that
need to be taken out to give room for
younger ones to grow, or to clear the
land for cultivation; there are dead
trees that are allowed to decay; and
on thousands Of farms, the banks of
rivers and creeks are lined with great
logs and other drift wood.
For many years the farmer has been
interested in, and has readily accept
ed, machinery that would save him
time. labor and money. Now he is
selling upon machine that actually
makes money for hm-as well as saw
Ing him time and labor. Those who
have used the 1921 improved model

They do the work of ten to fifteen
