WOMAN OF 70 HAS A FACE LIKE THAT OF A YOUNG GIRL.

LONG-GUARDED FAMILY SECRET LEARNED THROUGH A PROVINCIAL LADY.

"From mother to daughter, generation after generation," writes a lady now 70 years old, "wo havo been noted throughout tho little provincial town where wo live for the beauty of our complexions, preserved even to old age. Of late so many of our friends seem to have been deceived and disappointed by harmful skin remodies that we have decided that it is not right for us to keep to ourselves any longer the formula that has always boon considered as our family secret, and to which wo owe our 'eternal youth.' Thereforo we take this , opportunity of communicating it to our sister readers. Simply take 2oz rosewater, 1 dram tincture of benzoin and 2oz Flowers of Qx.jsoin, and mix thorn yourself at homo. Any chemist can supply you with what is necessary. Shako the lotion before using and apply with ti, clean pieco of cotton wool 0V a spougo regularly night and morning. In Seas than a week you will surely be asSced what has caused such a wonderful improvement in your appearance. The fr'oshncss of your complexion will be dazzling. We know because avc ha\e often made tho very same experiment among our friends, and this is the only thing we ourselves have ever used. It is our family remedy for all complexion troubles and has never failed to give the very highest degree of satisfaction; in fact wo consider it an ideal means for preserving the natural healtlrof the skin. The formula is old fashioned, simple and inexpensive, but always efficacious. We would be very happy to give you others, but this is the only one we possess of which wo know the bene- ! fits from personal experience. Important: Inquiries recently made of a noted dermatologist proved conclusively that the above lotion is unequalled for the purposes for which it is recommended and it may therefore be regarded as being thoroughly reliable.

for cattle, and ought to be a household remedy on every farm. Although castor oil is better for calves, sheep and pigs, linseed oil can bo given in the following doses: —Calves, from 4oz to 10 07. according to age; sheep and pigs, Go , /, to lOoz; dogs may be given loz to 2(i7, according to size.

Solway Show. Judging by the entries which have already come to hand, the 1914 show of the Masterton A. and P. Association is going to be a record one. The Association is very fortunate in having such an able president as Mr O. C. Cooper, who is supported by a . good committee. Mr Cooper is taking a particularly keen interest in tho Association, and is -desirous of seeing the Solway Show the premier show of New Zealand, jc will not oe his fault if this desirable result is not achieved. The Association is also fortunate in possessing such a capable secretary as Mr Emmett, who has the interests of the Association at heart, and is determined that no Agricultural Society in New Zealand shail out-do the 1914 show at Solway. Intending competitors are reminded that entries close on January 31st. i * • • Cure for Hoven. The following is a cure for hoven or bloat: —To a vessel of water add enough lime to make sure there is more than sufficient for the water to dissolve. Let the lime settle to the bottom, and pour off the clear lime-water. To each bottle of this lime-water add a large wine-glassful oi paraffin. To a beast give a bottloful of the mixture, to a calf half, and to a sheep a third. It being harmless, the dose can bo repeated after half an hour, if need be. The mixture can be kept ready during the season, as the sooner it is administered after the symptoms are noticed the better. It will keep for months. Many Wairarapa farmers already know of this remedy, but I have no doubt thero a good many who have not come across it. • * * • Fattening Ewes. It will be found that it does not pay to keep very old ewes. Old station ewes, taken down country, will give perhaps a couple of good crops of lambs, but they should be culled out while it is possible to fatten them. If a longer delay is made the ewes begin to die or to become useless for anything else but dog mutton. If ewes give in all five crops of lambs they have not done badly.

Ewes should be eliminated from the flock if they are in poor condition though on good feed. There is, in this case, something constitutionally wrong. A faulty mouth is a sound reason for pulling out ewes, and so is a poor udder. Some ewes have not sufficient milk to keep one lamb, to say nothing of a couple. These should have no place in a flock, because it is important that every ewe should be a good mother. When lambs are put up to tho operator at tailing time, there is a vast difference in them. Some are rolling fat, others are weeds, and the cause of this difference is mainly owing to the mothers, one lamb possessing a good mother, nad the other a poor one. Udders frequently go wrong, at weaning time, and this should be watched for. Some ewes, whether from foot rot or other causes, should be put out of tho flock, and, of course, any that exhibit traces of disease of any kind. The Wairarapa farmer knows that there is no use trying to build up a really good :flock if diseaso in any shape is allowed to be present.
