SCAlD HEAD ON A CHILD.
Mass of Running Sores

Messrs. WEEKS K POTTER: Dear lSirs.-It af
fords me great pleasure to testify to the re-
markaple healing and curative effect of your
CUTICURA on my chid's head. He had an af-
lection similar to Scald Head, which covere d
the entire scalp with one mass Of running
sores. The itching was very severe, causing
him to scratch it until IL bted. For nineteen
months he had to wear an oilskin cap After
five applications of CUTIcURA, we We're able to
comb his hair, and about one box cured him.
This is simply remarkable, as he received the
prescriptions of two physicians of high stand
Ing in our city without any apparent benefit,
and was under various forms of treatment for
nearly one year and a half.
lam, gentlemen, yours very truly,
CALVIN w. SAWYER.

CAUTIoN.-If procurable, use the CUrIcURA
SOAP.

4 hive of bees without a queen will con-
tinue working with spirit, If they have no
eggs or larvae from which to grow a queen.
But If they build a comb when hav-
ing no queen it is drone comb. A hive
with a queen year or more old has, under
airy circumstances. q strong determination
to build some drone comb, and if the honey
is coming in rapidly and new combs are
needed for storing, it will often build large
amount of drone comb. A hive with a
young queen grown during the season builds
worker comb almost entirely. The skillful
e-keeper takes advantage of this fact to
get his combs for the brood chambers of his
hives built in hives having young queens,
and thus he avoids having much drone comb.

slaughter.Hou.e Manure for Corn.

J. R. T., page 132, says he drew out about
60 twohorse dump cart loads of slaughter
house manure on one and a-half acres,
plowed it in, and planted one acre to field
corn, and the half acre to sweet corn; that
corn did not appear to do as well as at first,
the tap root drying up as If burned; yet he
got los bushels of field ear corn on the acre.
He wants to know if slaughter house manure
contains all the necessary ingredients for a
corn crop, and how best to apply 1t to a
sandy loan.
1t is highly probable that the application
was too large without thoroughly mixing 1t
with the soil. and being plowed in was left
in a layer, which in a warm soil rapidly I'M
derwent fermentation, and produced the
whitening effect upon the corn. The flesh
ings of the slaughter-house make very act

cient in phnsphoric acid.

This makes a better manure for corn. But
the bone, unless fine, is dissolved slowly in
the soil, and would not have very strong
effect the first year. In a clay loan, the
slaughter house refuse would not probably
have fermented rapidly enough to produce
the effect mentioned by J. r. f. The best
way 10 apply this refuse to his soil is to
spread it on the surface, cultivate it in well,
mixing thoroughly, then pillow, say five
inches deep, and he will have no whitening
corn. His turnIps, being planted later than
the corn, were not effected, except favorably.
because the fermentation had largely SUBJ
sided, and this turnip does not root deep,
and turnIps generally are gross feeders on
heterogeneous and phosphate manures.
On a remarkably dry soil it would be
better to apply this slaughter house refuse
in the fall, cultivating it in, and then plow-
ing in spring. He will probably find the
soil in a bstter STATE for larger corn crop
this year than last, and he will be able TO
make better report after the next crop.

Selecting Breeding Turkeys.

While all breeders like to have and breed
heavy weights" and customers buying tur-
key all call for large birds. it is fact that for
market purposes, moderate sized and even
small turkeys command a more ready sale
than do large ones. We have watched the
market for few days past and know this TO
be fact. However, we do no. wish to dis
courage breeders from running up the
weights. even if they attain the much de-
sired weight OF a 90 pound cobb. er at three
or four years old, for as long as there is a
lively demand among breeders for heavy

which is of fine proportion, long in the body
