MRS. SELBY AND PRIZE BABY
"I have always used Cutlcura Soap
and no other for my baby and he baa
never had a Bore of any kind. Ho
does not even chafe as most babies
do. I feel sure that it ia all owing to
Cutlcura Soap, for ho Is lino and
healthy, and when five months old,
won a prize In a baby contest. It
makes my heart acho to go Into so
many homes and see a bwcet-faced
baby with tho whole top of its head
a solid mass of scurf, Caused by poor
soap. I always recommend Cutlcura,
and nine times out of ten tho next

I am so glad you told mo of Cutlcura.' "

feet In diameter, with a bearing sur
face 18 Inches wide. The wheels wero
designed for use on soft soil.
Cottonseed Meal.
If cottonseed meal costs delivered
$35 n ton, each pound of digestible
protein will cost loss than 4V6 cents.
If corn Ib worth $25 a ton, each pound
of protein will cost about 16 cents a
pounu. in other words, a pound of
protein in corn will cost nearly four
times as much as a pound of protein
in cottonseed meal. ThiB clearly
shows that tho dairy farmer will lose
money If ho purchases corn to feed
his cows, providing, of course, that
cottonseed meal Is available. But if
cottonseed meal 1b not available other
feeding stuffs can bo had. Tho buyer
of grain feeds should consider his
purchase In thU light.
Marketing Vegetables.
The successful marketing of vege
tables, beyond doubt, is the most se
rious question of all for commercial
growers. In many instances it 1b ap
parently impossible to make ship
ments to the city and realize a fair
profit This condition is duo to high
freight or express charges, unscrupu
lous dealers and too many middle
men. There Is too much difference bo
tweon tho price- received by tho pro
ducer and that paid by tho consumer,
nnd this 1b tho primary cause of tho
high cost of living in the large cltleB.
Winter Feed for Oeeie.
I never feed any apodal grcon food
except cabbage to my breeding geese
during tho wlntor. But I rnlso field
corn and feed that, allowing tho geese
the range except when thero la snow
on the ground, says a writer In an ex
change. I have tried various fn0ri
.but never have found any nd vantage
ovor corn, ine pasiuro is, or course,
best of all for geese, since the bird's
will care for themselves.
Profit In Alfalfa.
One middle west seed company pur
chased recently 700 bushels of alfalfa
need. The seed, uncleaned, sold for
$8.50 the bushel, and was Bold by Ste
ven Heel of Shawnee, Okla., who re
ceived $6,060 tor the 700 bushels.
Prevent Washing of Soils. .
On billy lands great difficulty is ex
perienced In preventing washing by
heavy fall and winter rains. The use
of cover crops, therefore, becomes Im
perative on euch lands If clean cul
ture Is to bo practiced In the summer.
Size of Farms.
Our farms aro decreasing in size,
the average number of acres In farms
having decreased from 146 In 1900 to
138 In 1910.

SELECTING GOOD SEED CORN
Little Practice Will Enable One to
Become Quick and Reliable Judge
Points to Study.
With n llttlo practice ono can be
como u quick nml reliable judge of an
ear of corn suitable for Feed. Hut tt
will be necessary to study such points
as triipness to t pe, shape of ears, eolol
of kernels, tips and butts of ears, unl'
fortuity of kernels, shape of kernels,
spaco between kernels and tho pet
cent, of grain to the cob. Briefly It
should be stnted that tho rows of ker
nels should bo straight, running from
butt to tip; tho kernels w-odgoshuped,
thus Insuring a large per cent, of tho
corn on tho cob. Tho furrows, or
the space between tho kernels, should
ho narrow; the gtnins deep, tho colt
comparatively small. Tho color of tho
kernels should bo uniform, having no
Indication of a mixed vnrlety. All cars
that show Immaturity or rotted ker
nels should bo eliminated, and espe
cial enro should be tnken to select
ears with largo gprms. Tho fact should
bo borne In mind that n largo yield
requires oars that aro well tilled and
as few nubbins and barren stalks as
possible. It costs as much to produce
nubbins as It docs good ears, nnd or
dinarily 20 bushels to tho aero will
cost as much work ami other expense
nB 10, hence tho economy of Increas
ing the yield.
PLAN FOR STRETCHING WIRE

Inng tho wlro over them. Jn the low
places drive them Into tho post up
ward, and hook tho wlro under them.
Then stretch tho wire ns tight as de
sired. Ono mnn can stretch nearly as
much wlro this way ns two can with
out the uso of tho nails.
Stock Crops.
The farmer makes tho most money
wlto devotes his fields to tho growing
of crops to feed stock, making uso of
all tho raw products nt homo, thereby
not only saving much of tho cost rtf
transportation, bpt nlBo maintaining
tho fertility of the soil. Taking every
thing Into consideration, corn will
probably produce more rood per acre
for domestic animals thnn nny othor
plant, nnd there nro but fow feeds
which can bo fed in a greater variety
of wnys.
World's Wool Crop.
About one-third of tho wool crop
of tho entire world Is produced In
Australasia, which Includes New Zeal
nnd and Tnsmanln. Last year's crop
exceeding 800,000,000 pounds. Tho
flocks of this section contain ncnrlv
rlwlcc as many sheep as thoso of tho
united States.
Spinach Is one of the best things to
grow.
Fifteen to 20 ears of corn will plant
an acre.
Don't use barb wlro If you can
avoid It.
Productive soil must contain a largo
amount of vegetablo matter.
There is no better fertilizer for
grasB than farmyard manure.
Potatoes make a fairly good crop
with which to follow millet.
There ia no more convenient placo
to haul the manuro than to tfto grass
land.
Small patches of quack grass should
be dug out with forks and tho roots
burned.
Putting a small gasoline englno on
Iho grain or corn binder Is a new
wrinklo to save horse flesh.
Those who have not already saved
their seed corn, however, must do so
from the product as it Ib busked.
Seed corn must be selected early
enough so that It may have plenty of
time to dry beforo cold weather.
Cover crops are divided Into two
classes, based upon whether or not
they add any considerable amount of
food.
Cover crops, when plowed under, Im
prove the physical condition of the
soil, making it porous and of better
tilth.
Farmers operating on a large scale
often keep In telegraphic or telephon
ic connection with the market to
which their products are consigned.
Millet is rather bard on the for
tuity of the land, but an ordinarily
rich corn belt soil should yield two
good crops of millet In succession.
A piece of rubber hose about a wlro
pall handle offers a splendid safe
guard against cutting the band when
carrying cemont and other heavy
stuff.
Tho manner In which the corn is
stored Is not so Important so long
as some method Is used which will
permit a free circulation of air all
about the ears. '
Youth and Age.
"The difference botween youth nnd
go was never bo well put," said Itov.
C. V. Pcttlow, In an address nt an

We Get a
The big coiTeo trust, made up of Brazilian
growers and American importers, has been trying
vurious tactics to boost the prico of coffee nnd got
moro money from the people.
Always the mnn who is trying to dig extra
money out of the public pocket, on a combination,
hates the man who blocks tho gnmc.
Now comes a plaintive bleat from tho "exas
perated" ones.
The Jotirnal of Commerce lately-said: "A stir
ring circular hns just been issued to the cofioo
trade." The article further 6nye':
"Tho coffee world is discussing what is to ho
tho future of coffco as a result of the campaign
of raiseducation carried on by the cereal coffeo
people. Wo lmvo before us a letter, from one of
tho largest roasters in tho South asking whnt can
bo done to counteract the work, of the enemies
of coffee.
"Tho matter should have been taken up by
the Brazilian Gov't when they wero completing
their benutiful valorization scheme."
Then the article proceeds to de
nounce Postum and works into a
fine frenzy, because we have pub
lished facts regarding the effect of
coffee on some people.
The harrowing tale goes on.
, "Where a few years ago every
body drank coffee, several cups a
day, now we find in every walk In
life people who Imaglno they can-
not drink it (The underscoring Ib
ours.) Ilurly blacksmiths, carpen
ters, laborers and athletes havo dls?
continued or cut down the uso of
f coffee; as thore is not a person
who reads this and will not be ablo
to And the same conditions existing
among his own circle of acquaint
ances, Ib it not well for tho Brazil
fans to sit up and take notice?"
- Isn't it curious tbeso "bur
ly" strong men should pick out cof
fee to "imagine" about? Why not
"imagine" that regular doses of
whiskey are harmful, or dally slugs
of morphine?
It "Imagination" makes the caf
feine In coffee clog the liver, de
press the heart, and steadily tear
down the nervous system, bringing
on one or more' of the dozens of
types of diseases which follow
broken-down nervous systems,
many people don't know It.
But It remained for the man who
has coffee, morphine or whiskey
to sell, to have the supreme nerve
to say: "You only imagine your
disorders. Keep on buying from
me.1
