How surprising It Is then upon examining ono under the microscope to observo tho various parts of which It Is composed. The part mnrked 0 Is the glossa or. ns wo may call It. the tongue. It is covered with hair, ia very flexible and when in use. taking up

from hairs and thorefore no doubt It

with the outsldo world by means of a groove marked G. If now the nmount of nectar In a flower is small It mny bo taken up though this hollow in the glossa. If tho nmount is so large that all of It cannot be taken up through this tubo the labial palpi, marked L P. are used In addition, nectar being drawn up between the labial palpi and tho glossn.

HEAD SOLID MASS OF HUMOR "I think tho Cuticura Remedies are the host retnedlos for eczema I hnvo ever heard of. My mother had a child who had a rash on Its head when It was real young. Doctor called it baby rash. Ho gnvo us medicine, but it did no good. In a few days the head was a solid mass; a running sore. It was awful, the child cried continually. Wo had to hold him and watch him to keep him from scratching the 6ore. His suffering was dreadful. At last we remembered Cuticura Rome dies. We got a dollar bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a box of Cuticura Olntmont. and a bnr of Cuticura Soap. We gnvo the Resolvent ns directed, washed the head with the Cuticura
Soap, and applied the Cuticura Ointment We had not used half beforo tho child's head was clear and free from eczema, and it has never come back again. His head was healthy and ho had a beautiful head of hair. I think the Cuticura Ointment very good for the hair. It makes the hair grow and prevents falling hair." (Signed) Mrs. Francis Lund.

m Notes
t.'tsngers for Cow Stalls. Many questions arise as to the type of manger to when one is building or remodeling a barn. In tho figure is shown a design which la both sanitary and modern. This typo is considered liest slnces less work is required In keeplak the walk Jn front
of the cows clean. A cow. wmie eat
ing, sometimes throws some of the grain and hny forward and out of
roach, but with this construction it is a very easy matter to return tho feed to the manger. If it seems doslrablo partitions may be built between each manger. In many ways this Is to bo desired, especially where cows aro in tho habft of stealing grain from their neighbors.
Corn Producer Wins $530. Peter C. Pavta of CSranby, Maas., sot a new world's record for corn of last year's production, Rnd was given a $50 nward by the New England Corn exposition judgo. Tliö ri-cord was made on ono acre of lixnd, from which Mr. Davis harvested 1WM bushels of crib dry yollow flint corn. His yield at harvest time was 127 bushels of shollcd corn.
Beauty of Lawns. A flno lawn Is one of the luxuries of r country home. A naturally pretty lawn may be spoiled by too many thrubs and flowers, and by too few.
Learn to prevent swarming If you want honey. Nevor plow clay foil when the ground sticks to tho plow. Oats should be seeded Just as early ! as tho ground can be worked. 1 As soon ns tho ground can bo work- j 1 In tho spring peas may bo planted, j Agrlculturo intelligently followed j
call for the highest type of talent and intellect. One of the great est sources of weeds on the farm la the sowing of Impure seed Hoes will make Just as mnrh honey in a soap box or a nail keg as in the
finest luve ever made. j Too many farmers try to grow j sweet forn without any or with too j little commercial fertilizer, j The horte'a feot should bo watched for signs of cracked heel or scratches ! during cold, muddy weather.
During slippery weather see that your wagon Is in good condition and pulling as lightly ns possible. Profitable oat culture consists In good heavy northern-grown seed, a well-prepared seed bed and early seeding. The hive In which tho bees rear their young Is not where we look for honey, but In tho super, or second story. Tho winter affords time to spend n good part of rough days at repairing
the farm Implements and in mending
Borne of the smaller tnols that will
