PHYSICIAN ADVISES CUTICURA REMEDIES "Four years ago I had places break out on my wrist and on my shin which would itch and burn by spells, and scratching them would not seem to give any relief. When the trouble first began, my wrist and shin itched like poison. I would scratch those places until they would bleed before I could get any relief. Afterwards the places would scale over, and the flesh un derneath would look red and feverish. Sometimes it would begin to Itch until It would waken me from my sleep, and I would have to go through the scratching ordeal again. Our physician pronounced it "dry eczema." I used an ointment which «hen ie doctor gave me. but it did no good. he advised me to try the Cutl cura Remedies. As this trouble has been in our family for years, and Is considered hereditary, I felt anxious to try to head it off. I got the Cutl cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, and they seemed to be Just what I needed. "The disease was making great headway on my system until I got the Cutlcura Remedies which have cleared my skin of the great pest. From the time the eczema healed four years ago, until now, I have never felt any of its pest, and I am thankful to the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment which certainly cured me. I always use the Cutlcura Soap for toilet, and I hope other sufferers from skin diseases will use the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment" (Signed) Irven Hutchison, Three Riv ers, Mich., Mar. 16, 1911.

J'HERAPIONr.n FARM HOW BEES COLLECT POLLEN Important Part Played by the Auricle In the Proeeae—Dust Gathers en Body Halra. The pollen dust gathers on the body hairs of the bees as the result of the visits paid to the flowers. These hairs, •s seen under the microscope, are branched, and therefore are admirably adapted to hold the pollen, writes F. W. U Bladen la the Gleanings in Bee Culture^ In the bumble bee (and probably also the honey bee) the pollen dust lp the hairs on the thorax la collected on brushes on the inner sides of the metatarsi, or basal Joint of the foot, of the middle pair at tegs, whloh are Fig. 1—Junction of tibia and meta tarsus In hind leg of worker honey bee, outer side. Fig. 2—Diagrammatic section of the same, showing mode of conveying pol len. a, metatarsus b, tibia c, comb d, receiver for pollen e, auricle f, fringe of hair on auricle. moistened with honey from the tongue to make the dust cohere. The pollen dust in the hair on the abdomen is col lected on brushes on the Inner sides of the metatarsi of the hind legs, and this Is probably moistened by rubbing the hind legs together. After this the pollen is transferred to the corblcula (or pollen-basket) on the tibiae of the hind legs, where, as every one knows, it accumulates Into a great lump as the result of repeated contributions from the metatarsi. But how does it get there? It is evident, as Cheshire observed, that the pollen on the right metatarsus is transferred to the left corblcula, and the pollen on the left metatarsus Is transferred to the right corblcula. Cheshire sup posed ("Bees and Beekeeping," 1886) that the metatarsus discharges its pollen on the corblcula by scraping Its brush on the upper side of the tibia hut I find that this is not the case. The pollen is scraped off the metatarsal brush by a comb (c) situated at the end of the tibia on the inside, and it passes Into a small concave receiver (d) that joins the comb then, when the leg is straightened, a projection on the metatarsus called the auricle (e)« closes upon the receiver, compresses the pollen, and at the same time forces it out to the lower end of the corblcu la, which is here slightly depressed and almost wholly devoid of hairs. The compression of the pollen in the receiver is an essential part of the process for loose pollen grains such as occur on the metatarsal brushes would not hold together in the corblc ula. In the bumble bee the angle between the surface of the receiver and that of the corblcula is obtuse, and the compressed pollen easily passes from the one to the other but in the honey bee there is a sharp angle at the corner, and the auricle bears a fringe of hairs (f) to guide the stream of pollen to the corblcula also the honey bee's auricle Is evidently pressed back by the pollen, for it has no other means of escape. POST PULLER SAVES LABOR Implement Can Be Made of Strong Tongue Taken From Some DIs i carded Farm Machine. When a fence must be moved a good post puller ssves an unmerciful lot of back ache and time, writes Gilbert F. Farrlsh in the Wisconsin Agricul turist. Such a lifter can be made of a strong tongue from some discarded farm machine. A strap of live-eighths iron is made into a heavy claw at one end and bolted on the tongue so that ithe claw projects beyond the end of Ithe tongue. A heavy ring with a stout chain attached is also a part of A Peat Ptrffsr. the outfit The ring is put ever the post down to the ground. The claws are caught under a link of the chain and a block put under the pole as a fulcrum. This leverage will raise the post with very little effort. Every farm ought to have such a lifter. The parts shosld be solid and strong, for U|f ftral* la tremendou^ i 5 4 4 BEES ARE QUITE PROFITABLE As Adjunct to Farm Nothing Pays .to, Well When Properly Cared POP—T Work for Women. (By MRS. I* TAYLOR, Ohio.) As an adjunct to farming I know of nothing, when properly cared for, that pays so well, considering the time spent and the money invested, as bees. Last year, two colonies produced 80 pounds'per colony of surplus hon ey, which sold for $20. The beee cost $5, so there is a gain of $15, or 300 per cent No other stock or crop paid us as welL A bee-keeper not tar from here av eraged 112 pounds of honey from his colonies. He sold it for 19 cents a pound. This seems like a very large yield, but with Improved methods we expect to do even better. One farmer in this community manages to clear $100 each year from his bees. Me keeps from twelve to fifteen colonies, and his farm does not suffer from neglect in the least. If the men have not time to attend to the bees, the women can look after them. They are generally about the premises and have a better oppor tunity for watching them. For gentleness In handling, ability to gather honey and to keep free from moth, I prefer the Italians. Any chaff hive will answer the purpose. It should be chaff lined all through and for wintering out of doors a chaff cushion should be placed over the bees to absorb moisture. TO MAKE FOUNDATION SOLID Gasoline Machine Will Not Do Good Work Unless Placed on Good Sub stsntlal Bsse. It Is unreasonable to expect a gaso line engine to do good work unless it Is mounted on a solid foundation. There is nothing better than concrete for this and when placing same In position, fastenings should be set In the concrete as shown In the accom panying Illustration, says the Prairie Farmer. These fastenings can be made by any blacksmith or In most any farm work shop. They are placed In the concrete when it is poured and should, of course, be placed so as to engage with the holes in the body of Solid Engine Foundation. the engine. Care should be used not to Injure the threads on the ends of the rod, and to this end it is best to keep the nuts on same. Starting Plants In Houses. A good way to use tin cans or cigar boxes is to plant cabbage, lettuce, parsley, pepper, radish and tomato seeds in them, about the middle of this month. Place the cans or boxes in the kitchen windows. Cauliflower, celery and egg plant may also be started In tbe house. Bore holes in the sides of these boxes, an Inch from the bottom, in order to give ventilation. Start cu? cumber and squash seeds in straw berry boxes. Spreading Manure. Get Into the habit of hauling ma nure to the field every day as it is taken from the barn. The sooner ma nure is spread in the field the smaller the IOSB u of fertility Incurred, and the smaller the amount of labor required to handle It. Bees ard FhrorvINofes Asparagus will grow in any good well-drained farm land. Onion sets should be set out just as early as ground can be worked. Almost all our common garden veg etables require a somewhat algallne soil. Selling all the hay and grain raised on the farm is a sure method of selling the farm. Young cabbage plants require thor ough protection in the hotbed and cold frame. It is seldom that the very early va rieties of potatoes yield so well as those a little later. Long, straight rows will make easier work with the horse cultlvstor or wheel hoe later on. For sandy land the mammoth red clover has proved superior to alslke or the medium red varieties. Heroic pruning measures are needed to bring many old trees into bearing, but It need not all be done the first year. There is no danger of an overrlch soil for asparagus. In fact this crop can only be grown profitably on vary rich land. Did you ever think how much ground a good ear of corn will plant? It is just that much ground wasted if you plant a poor ear. It is as- Idle and useless to expect good crops from inferior seed as It would be to endeavor to breed thor oughbred cattle from Bcrub stock. Asparagus roots, properly planted, fertilized and given good culture, will continue to produce large spears for fifteen to twenty years in succession. Alslke clover is a perennial and can be grown on ground that is too low and moist for the medium red or mammoth it is grawn equally well en high ground. i i i i V i y V w v S a 4 4 u i „iii»»i -J.t« .M-IHH.* —, 1 "ONE MILLION LEAGUE FOR MANITOBA." The purposes of the "Million for Manitoba League" are set out in the fact that Manitoba wants more peo ple. Today the population is less than five hundred thousand, and the de termination of the representative men of the Province to devote their best energies to increasing this to a mil lion Is a worthy one. There is already a widespread Interest in every munic ipality committees are appointed, whose duties are to secure such a thorough knowledge of local condi tions that, whether tbe applicant for Information be a laborer for the farm, a would-be tenant, a probable home steader, the buyer of a small Improved farm or the purchaser of a large tract for colonizing farmers, the informa tion is at hand, free. The advantages that Manitoba pos sesses are many, and with the ex ploitation that will be given them by the birth of this new acquisition to the settlement and immigration prop aganda that Is being carried on by the Dominion Government, there is no doubt that the establishment of the bureau will very soon bring about the results looked for. Manitoba is prac tically the gateway of the great grain belt of the West. Its farm lands have demonstrated time and again that they have a yielding value that practically makes them worth over one hundred dollars per acre. Added to the yielding value of the land, there is an Increased value on account of its nearness to markets, and the mat ter of freight rates Is carefully con sidered by the cautious buyer. But the Information more valuable to the incoming settler is that it still has an Immense amount of vacant fertile land open for homesteads. This dispels the Idea that free homesteads in Manitoba are about exhausted. In addition to this, the territory recently added to the Province will open up a home steading area which when filled should fully satisfy the "Million for Manitoba League." Within the old boundaries there is an area of 47,360, 000 acres, less than six million acres of the 16% million acres occupied be ing under cultivation. At present there are over 20 million acres of available land capable of being put under the plough. If in every one of the 195,000 vacant quarter sections of the Prov ince an average family of tour persons were placed, there would be added a rural population of nearly 800,000. So there is room for additional hundreds of thousands on the farms of Mani toba, without any possibility of con gestion. The population per mile in Iowa is 39.4, in Minnesota it Is 23.5. That in Manitoba is only 7.1. A glance at the map, copies of which will be forwarded upon application to any Canadian Government Agent, shows that Manitoba is wonderfully well supplied with railways. There are but few farms that are more than ten or twelve miles from a railway line: elevators are convenient, and markets are always good. The grow ing of grain, while a big feature in the inducements held out, is well re enforced by the great possibilities that exist in all portions of tbe Province, for the raising of stock, for dairying, for hogs, and for a successful class of mixed farming, and what gives addi tional Interest Is the fact that there 1B so much land in the Province open for free homesteading that Improved farms in almost all of the 98 munici palities can be purchased at very low figures. Many of the owners of these have made sufficient upon which to re tire and are becoming residents of the cities. In addition to tbe export mar ket for the produce of the farm, Man itoba has a number of large cities and towns providing a splendid local mar ket Truck and garden farming are highly profitable branches. Winnipeg is a city bordering on 200,000. Bran don is a splendid centra.

The Dominion and Provincial immi gration officials are working In strong sympathy with the "Million for Mani toba League," and in addition to the general literature sent out by the Gov ernment, the League has prepared pamphlets giving useful and concise information, which on addressing the Secretary, Million League, Winnipeg, Manitoba, will be forwarded fre*.

The careful mother, watching close ly the physical peculiarities of her children, soon learns that health is in a great measure dependent upon nor mal, healthy, regular bowel action. When the bowels are inactive, loss of appetite, restlessness during sleep, ir ritability and a dozen and one similar evidences of physical disorder are soon apparent. Keep the bowels free and clear and good health Is assured. At the first sign of constipation give the child a teaspoonful of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at bed-time and repeat tbe dose the following night, if necessary. You will find the child will quickly re cover its accustomed good spirits, and eat and sleep normally. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far preferable to salts, cathartics and purgative waters which are harsh In their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on the bowels easily and naturally, yet positively, and causes no griping or discomfort. Its tonic properties build up the stomaoh, liver and bowels, re storing their normal condition. Druggists everywhere sell Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin in 50c and $1.00 bottles. If you have never tried this remedy, send for a sample to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 201 Washington St., Mon ticello. 111. He will gladly send a trial bottle without any expense to you whatever. Divination.
