SKIN DISEASE.
A Remarkable Letter from y. A. Tucker.
Esq, Manufacturer of the hay
State SuperpbospEate.

Messrs WEEKS & POTTER: Gentlemen,-I think
have paid for medicines and medical treatment
during the last twenty years all of three thousand
dollars, without receiving any permanent relief.
Last May while taking Turkish bath at II Bea-
con St., young man employed there by the name
of VIM. Corbett induced me to allow him to apply a
preparation that he had upon me, assuring me that
it was perfectly harmless and for certain consider
alton he would cure within thirty days from the
time he commenced. In case he failed to do so
was to pay him nothing: I consented and he appp-
ease entirely disappeared. l very eheerfully paid
him the amount agreed upon and then asked him
what this remedy was, and he replied that it was no
other than CUTIcURA.
Since that time have had no trouble from this
disease, and have not had such good health in TWEEN
ty years as have had during the last six months.
have since my recovery bought CUTIcURA and
given it to friends suffering with skin diseases, and
in every instance it has cured them. L believe it to
be the greatest discovery of the present century.

Cleaning of Wool.

An interesting contribution to our knowl-
edge of woods is afforded by an article by
Mrs. Helen III. S. Richards of Jamaica
Plains, incident to an investigation of oils
1.-THE natural oil or grease of sleeps wool)
for the purpose of abating fire by sponta-
neous combustion. This study is in refer
ence to the cleaning of the wool by naptha,
or what is known as gasoline, of about So
deg. Naptha of this quality boils at 80 deg.
to 100 deg. F., and the air of 80 deg to 60
deg. F. completely removes it. The process
Of cleaning the wool by naptha was simply
to pack it in a closed vessel, allowing it to
remain in contact with it for about twenty
minutes without any application of heat.
The liquid was then run off and the naptha
applied; this process being repeated two or
three times according to the amount of
grease in the wool.
After this process the wool is dried, ther
beaten of its dust, and washed in warm
water, without the aid Of any other sub
stance than the soap Of potash which is left
on the fibre, and which the naptha does
not remove. The wool after being thus
cleaned, is very white and soft, and has a
"crinky' appearance. Formerly this pro-
cess of cleaning was objected to, because it
was was thought to remove the natural oil
too completely, a part being needed to work
the fibre. 1t was thought to extract the
grease from the inner tube Of the fibre, and
the caustic potash was believed to injure
the wool. But Mrs. Richards shows that
these objections are not tenable, but that
the naptha has these positive advantages
LIST, the cleansing of the wool is done more
perfectly than by any other method; End,
the fibre is in better condition for taking
dyes; 3rd, the waste products of the wool
are readily recovered, thus preventing fur
ther pollution Of streams from wool-washi1fs
establishments. The oil removed from the
wool by the naptha is equal to the best' for
currying leather, and is not liable to spon-
taneous bombustion.-Diri Rural.

Seven Acres Enough.

In an outssof-the-way corner of the town of
Needham, not far from the village of Wei
lesley, resides Eben Morrison, on a small
farm of about seven acres OF land, with q
moderate-sized house and barn. One acre
or Whereabouts Of this seven is meadow and
cannot be titled, while another has been re-
claimed from this meadow by burying such
stones upon it as he dug up from the up
land Upon this acre of reclaimed meadow
he now cuts about ton and a half of good
hay. Four acres Of his little farm he has in
tillage. For the whole place he paid some
twelve or fourteen years ago $1400, while
ever since he has raised enough to support
his family in a good and comfortable man
ner He keeps two horses to work his land
and draw out his manure from Boston. also
one COW, for which animal he has to buy the
most of his hay and all his grain. He sells
annually from two to three thousand dollars
worth of vegetables and berries.
Mr. Morrison manures his land very heav-
ily, applying the whole of it broadcast, and
plows it in. His first crops are radishes,
lettuce and spinach. At this season of the
year he has lettuce under glass; some are
well up from the seed. He transplants from
the glass to open ground, as soon as the
frost is out of the ground in the Spring, at
the same time he sows his radishes and
spinach where last Summer he had a straw
TENDER. He is covering it with tomatoes
and squash vines which he prefers to either
leaves or coarse horse litter, which latter
lay too close and are apt to smother the spin
ach. This spinach will be ready to cut ear
1y in the Spring He sows his peas early in
the Spring, and plants between the rows GU
cumbers for pickles. Beets he also sows
early, and as he pulls these he puts in cante
lope melons; he also plants melons where
his radishes have grown; squashes he plants
among his early beans and potatoes; plow
ing in his manure broadcast enables him to
do this, and one object he labors for with
his squashes is to have them take root at the
joints, then if the maggots kill the first root
the vine still flourishes.
Mr.. Morrison is one of the most success
full squash growers in this vicinity. Winter
potatoes he only raises for his own use,
among which he plants Winter crockneck
squashes. He raises large quantities of to-
matoes, but neither cabbages nor turnips.
These latter, he claims, draw too heavily up
on the soil, while squashes pay him much
better. Half an acre of strawberries, the
produce of which he sold to Wellesley Col
Iege at 20 cents per box, some days deliver
ing 14O boxes, though he did not average so
much during the season. This shows what
the right kind of man can do upon small
piece of land in New England. He raises
no sweet corn, as he claims it takes too
much land, and he must rise that which re-
quires little space but more labor. He cuts
his garment according to his cloth and
makes remarkably close fit.-Boston Cul-
tivator.
