INFANTILE
SKIN DISEASES.

Our oldest child, now six years of age, when
an infant six months old was attacked with a
%virulent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary
remedies failing, we called our family physician,
who attempted to cure 1t bnt 1t spread with
ton of the lit e fellows person, from the middle
of his back down to his knees, was one solid
rash. ugly, painful, blotched. and malicious. WI
had no rest at night, no peace by day. Finally
we were advised to try the CUTICURA RENE
DIES. The effect was simply marvellous. In
three or four weeks Il complete cure was
wrought, leaving the little fellows person as
white and healthy as though he had never been
attacked. In my opinion your valuable remedies
saved his life, and to-day he is "A strong, healthy
child, perfectly well, no repetition OF the disease
having ever occurred.

better remedy is to encircle the trees
with metallic troughs, and have these
filled with crude petroleum, or
other cheap oil The first cost of this
preventive is more than the former,
nut 1t Is more etfectual, and one renewal
is often enough for a season. Another
method, if the worms get ahead (and
some growers use it in preference to
ink or petroleum., is to syringe the
trees with mixture of one pound of
Paris green to one hundred gallons Of
water, just as the Larvae are Matching
out, One application is generally suf+
ftient, unless followed Immediately by
rain, Persian insect powder used as
directed for Paris green is very effect

Canker Worm.

In answer to an Arkansas correspond
ent the Farm and FjrcSide makes the
following reply:
Your troublesome insect is undoubt-
sdly the canEer-worm (anisopteryx
vernata), and in some sections of the
country, especially in some parts of
New England, it is the greatest pest
the apple-grower has to contend with;
yet if care be taken, with good judg-
ment and knowledge of its habits, it
may surely be disposed of. The female
has no wings; she comes out of the
ground in the warm days during the
winter and early spring and climbs up
the trunk of the tree, to lay her eggs
in the leaves and blossoms. These
eggs Matching produce the worms
which do the damage, often leav-
ing the trees as bare as If
fire had run through them; how
ever, The worms pass to the mature
form, sometimes about the first of July,
the date varying according to the
climate, and the trees generally leaf
out again, and yet the shock is often
so severe as to leave the trees very
weak. Now, taking advantage OF the
fact that the female has to climb up
the trunk, it is customary for the
orchardist to put around each tree a
strip of tarred paper about twelve
inches wide, and keep the same GOV,
cred with printers ink, or some mate,
rial of the same nature, from the first
of January until the moths stop climb
ing. Care must be taken, however
that the females do not form bridge
across the naper, and thus get up the
tree. Keep the ink fresh by renewal
during warm days, when the offending
insects are caught and destroyed. A still

NUGGETS OF KNOWLEDGE.

WHERE you can not climb over you must
creep under.
LEARNING and wisdom do not always go
together.
KNOWLEDGE of our duties is the most use
ful part of philosophy.
IT is best not to dispute where there is no
probability of convincing.
FAME comes only when deserved, and then
it is as inevitable as destiny.
THAT was wise counsellor who said:
keep cool and you command every body"
WHEN you want to buy thing ask the
opinion of your purse about it.
PROSPERITY is no just scale. Adversity
is the only balance to weigh friends,
KNOWLEDGE is like money-the more it is
circulated the more people get the benefit
of it,
WHEN a man has no good reason for doing
a thing, he has one good reason for letting
it alone
No BLINDNESS or lack of opportunity to do
great things deprives any of the right to be
a good man.
ALWAYS keep your designs and business
from the knowledge of others except wise
and true friends.
LARGE license is accorded to beauty
Every woman can venture to be saucy if
she pleases but not if she dlspleases.
THE man not in earnest seldom accom-.
plishes much in this world. Bulwer once
said "Nothing is so contagious as en-
thusiasm; it is the allegory of the tale Of
0rpheus; it moves stones, it chains brutes
Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity and
truth accomplishes no victories without it.n

Clover as ain Egg Food.

Clover contains two elements that
are in demand by the hen-nitrogen
and lime. 1t is rich in the elements
required for the white (albumen) and
the shell, and if plenty of it be pro-
vided for the hens no better food can
be given. Grain should only be pOr"
tion of the diet Of fowls, yet but few
hocks receive any thing but grain, and
rs such food will not promote laying,
1t is not surprising that many well-fed
focks do not prove profitable. Substi-
tute clover for grain, and the result
will be larger number of eggs at a
lower cost, and the flock will keep in
better condition,

Mutton Lambs.

Stephen Powers says the raising ana

makes money for the men engaged in
it. The do not complain of hard

pays, it will be engaged in, and ought
to be- 1t is the leading industry in
many parts Of Tennessee, Pennsylvas
MIA, Kentucky, New York and New
Jersey. Some Michigan and Ohio men
could thus keep from being
over stocked and squealing all
the time. 1t is one way
of diversifying sheep raising. 1t suits
some farmers and some regions to a
"t-y-t." Wool growing suits some
men and some regions, 50 all the
methods have their fitness, All the
lambs that go to market leave place
for the rest to fill profitably. Over
crowded Aocks, poor sheep, old ewes,
weak lambs, mad fockmasters, dis
gusted sheep raisers, What sort of
sheep raising shall we call it? If
man strikes out in new line that pays,
shall we call him crank? See if it

In the hurry Of speech, and often IN our

liable 10 occasional slips, which may have
the ludicrous effect of putting an entirely
