"School Girl"; -The cause of the so.. called "blackheads" is the clogging of the pores with dust and grease, which hardens and. pits the face with tiny black specks. The first step is to thoroughly cleanse the skin. Every night wash thoroughly with. warm - `water and a good soap, Dry skin care- ,fully, apply to the spots an ointment e made of 1, ounce soap liniment and 1 ounce ether well mixed, and allow it to. remain on during the night. Wash off in the-.morntg with warm water and rinse with cold. Continue. this treatment until the blackheads have ddisappeared, To contract the pores 1 wipe the face with a -little alcohol or eau de cologne. Frequently pimples appear with the blackheads, and when en this is the case znake axi ointment of the following ingredients, 2 grams beta napthol, 20 grams. sulphur pre- cipitate,:20 grams potash soap. Mix thoroughly and apply to the - pimples at night. This preparation may be used at the same time as the black- head ointment. Do not be discour- aged if you see no improvement in your complexion as; the weeks slip, by. It sometimes requires months to get rid of pimples and blackheads. "Perplexed": -1. A felon is an in- fection of the tissue around the finger nail. The constant application of a wet dressing, equal parts of alcohol and water,. may check it.

All roosters, old hens, early broil- ers, green ducks.` During the first week in June, kill riff, dispose of or remove from the flock, the male birds after the breed- ing season. Their presence in the flock after this date causes a loss of a million dollars a year to Canadian feed farmers through the sale of partially i the incubated and bad eggs in the producefapp which is marketed. All old hens r thei also be marketed at this date. thei The proper way to carry a fowl is dilut to place it under the arm, the head i pointing to the rear, and the feet held b firmly by the hand. In` this way the cont bird can be carried for miles without the least discomfort to it or the per- son carrying it. In former years, the common prac- ithre tise was to carry poultry by the legs, I fore head hanging downward. This was a third bad mode and one that never was used by regular poultrymen. When the head is hanging downward there is no- thing to prevent a rush of blood to it,1 as and it is the belief that many cases of fresh vertigo can be traced to such acts off space carelessness. thequan But still more cruel is liftingears Y body by their wings. Shou'd the fowl struggle when thus handled, it is a eery easy matter to snap the cords of the wings and thus permanently in- jure the bird. Poultry roughly handled lose confi- dence in their attendant, and loss of confidence in the hennery often has a 4. The eyes should have a rest from. reading and from all kinds of fine work.

A Question of "I's" "Pink is the proper color," the little rabbit politelyinformed Araminta Jane. They were having a most de- lightful afternoon tea, Doroth who had been feeding them daintiesties , — bits of cake, goosetea and crackers— had quite suddenly decided to see whether any of her flowers were up and had left the white rabbit and the china doll together under a large tree in the orchard: "I am sure blue is the proper color," A.i•a.minta contradicted, still very politely. That was how it started! Both svei•e sure they were right and soon they made such a noise that a little squirrel came to see what the trouble was. "Brown!" he maintained stoutly when they told hien of the argument. A crow hopping afterea fat worm, stop- ped long enough to caw, "Black." And he was upheld by the raven, who hap- pened along soon after, "I'll go and ask the owl," offered the squirrel after' theyhad argued them- selves hoarse without coming to any agreement.

By Henry G. Bell, Agronomist, Buckwheat pancakes may form a welcome substitute for breakfast wheat cereal and bread toast, d while wheat ranges around the $2,50.: a bushel mark,. Buckwheat characteristics strongly recommend this crop for cereal pro- duction. Buckwheat is a dry .grain which calf be ;stored. After wheat, cornd rye, buckwheat contains a maximum of food in a minimum of volume, Buckwheat is strong in both flesh producer and in energy and heat pro- ducer.
