Agonizing Eczema (Salt Rheum) No rest, day or night, for those afflicted with that awful skin dis ease, eczema, or salt rheum as it is commonly called. The intense burning, itching and smarting, especially at night, or when the affected part is exposed to strong heat, or hot water, are almost unbearable, and relief is gladly welcomed. To get rid of eczema it is neces sary to have the blood cleansed by the use of a thoroughly reliable blood medicine such as Burdock Blood Bitters which during the past 60 years has met with great success in relieving such diseases by its blood cleansing and purifying properties. STh# T, Milburn Co1., Ltd., ’Toronto, Ont> The Weed of the Week, Perennial Sow Thistle Perennial Sow Thistle with its creeping rootstalks and bright yellow flowers has been well named the “Yellow Peril”. Thousands of seeds are produced on an average plant and these may he blown long dis tances by the wind thereby infesting new areas. United action is needed by all farmers if this menace to clean • raps is to be controlled. It is distinguished from the An nual Sow Thistle of which there are two, vhe Common Annual and the | Syring Annual, by its numerous un-. derground footstalks, deeply cut leaves and bright yellow flowers one and a half inches in diameter. The annuals are shorter, have only fib rous roots and small rale yellow flowers, less than one half an inch in diameter. To control Perennial Sow Thistle, hand pick scattered plants and mow patches before they become estab lished. The plants are filled with a latter milky juice and if the flower when picked or mown down they should be destroyed as there is a possibility of seed maturing. Drainage, a short rotation of crops building up the fertility of the soil by means of manure, clovers, green manure crops and fertilizers, early maturing varieties, smother crops, hoed crops, annual hay and annual pasture mixtures are all factors in the control of Sow Thistle.

Early oats are preferable to late oats when the rotation includes grain. Plow deeply immediately after the crop has been removed and leave in the rough state for a week or more as long as dry weather prevails. Fol low later with the cultivator using broad shares which overlap to get any plants which remain. This dry nuthod has proven very effective and should be undertaken as early in the season as possible in order to catch dry hot weather. A black summer fallow and a parital summer fallow have also proven effective. When a black summer fallow is followed the ground should he kept absolute ly black for the entire season. This will entail the loss of a crop. By the partial summer fallow' method the ground may be worked until time to sow' a hoed crop, a smother crop of buckwheat or rape or fall wheat oi rye. If the infested area is cut be fore plants come in flower the crop may be used for green feed and the ground wmrked as previously outlin ed. Avoid outside threshing of any crops infested with Sow Thistle.

There are times that we’ll remember When we both are old and gray— The trip to see the King.and Queen Is one thing that will stay. When the Royal Train left London, We’d but a fleeting glance— Our lovely Queen—+o see the King We did not have a chance. And my! but we felt badly too, And some sat down and cried, And then we fell ba.'k into line And to each other sighed. Oh well, we had our first train ride, We saw the royal train, And maybe in the years ahead The King will come again. Right wearily our coach we found To make our homeward way, For we’d been up since 4 a.m. And felt we’d had a day. The brakeman shouted down the aisle, Bells rang, the whistles blew, This train enroute for Thedford town For Forest, Blackwell too. But just a short way we had gone When we heard some one say, We’re going to Niagara Falls, Three cheers for good Ross Gray. Some laughed, some sang, some ■clapped their hands, And no one now felt sad— That order from Ross Qray had made A thousand children glad. 'Twas night when we pulled in the Falls, The royal train beside, And thro’ the lighted windows all Its beauty we espied. We thrilled to step outside our door, And touch the royal car, We watched them served the even ing meal, We who had come so far. Anl ’then the word was passed along, Coming the King and Queen, If you will go quickly out * They may be clearly seen. And there at last we saw them both And when we saw them smile, We knew that they had won our hearts In just that little while. We cheered and waved a last adieu, As out of sight they drew— And we had seen the King and Queen Could it be really true? And of the journey home that night. There is so much to tell, We only wish we knew just how To tell the story well. About the sandwiches we had, And pepsi-cola too, And how we played up in the bunks Such fun we never knew. Then later when the eats ran low, No worry still we felt, We took a drink of water And tightened up our belts. And when at last grey morning dawn ed We saw that we were home, No spot on earth looked quite so good, We’d lost desire to roam. Yet once we’d had a long, long sleep Our tongues how they did go, We wanted all the folks at home About our trip to know. And written down on history’s page We’ll find Ross 'Gray’s name, We’ll hear about his wisdom, We’ll marvel at his fame. But his truly great achievement In this is plainly seen, He sent a thousand Lambton kids To see the King and Queen.

Keeping pace with and helping onward Canadian agriculture, it has also, since the Eighteen Eighties, spread out to most lands beyond the seas. Romance fills the years and experiences of the Company in its ventures abroad. A Canadian company with Canadian headquarters, it is today as solidly entrenched in the business of a score of other countries as it is in its native land. Transacting business in 52 countries in addition to Canada, in the languages and currencies of these various countries is as fasci nating as it is profitable. For while the exigencies of crops and conditions may vary the Company’s fortune in these lands, yet it is a fact, that in the years from 1928 to 1937, because of this export business, Massey- Harris spent, in Canada $21,261,763 more than the total revenue from its sales in Canada. Surely a valuable asset to our country and a Canadian achievement of which we may all be justly proud. .'PIERCE REUNION I The annual Pierce reunion was J Held at the home of Alex Brandie at I Bothwell, when about 55 attended.
