his head was coated over with solid scab

besides two large tumor-like kernels on

wonderful CUTICURA REMEDIES, his scalp
is perfectly we'll, and the kernels have

II seems to us that too many in the
south and west fail to appreciate the
value of few acres well titled. In fact,
some in the south have but few acres
and then neglect to till them well. If
a man has a fertile farm and under
takes to cultivate large number of
acres, he will finally exhaust its fertili-
ty. Where a man is trying to cultivate
more land than he can manage, he fails
nearly every time to return any fertility

farming seems to become apparent to
the majority of farmers only when in.

fail to see the value of intensive farm

We can look about us in our own
neighborhood and see that the intensive
farmer is the one who has made the
money. Men running large farms have,
too, male money, but in the majority
of eases the intensive ones have made
more money than the extensive ones
have-Addison d. Smith, in Farm, Field

smoothness and solid character. They
are soon uneven and distorted in some
degree, and are liable to be more or less
displaced. To prevent this result, the
material should be placed in successive
layers, and each one beaten hard before
the next one is applied. 1t is here that
broken stone, with its angles, has a
great advantage over rounded and worn
gravel. the smooth pebbles of which

treated; then the third; and last, the

How to Keep Cream In Good Condition

How to Keep Cream In Good Condition
in a Hot Climate.
The underground method of cooling a
dairy has been tried without much sue
cess Tor some years, and more especial
ly when it was first introduced about a
dozen years ago. The plan was to dig
a deep ditch like drain, and lay large
tiles or stone channel in it connected
at the further end with the open air by
a pipe. to supply the draft But the
device was opposed to scientific princi-
pies and chiefly to that one on which it
is impossible to cause cold current of
air to rise in warm atmosphere, or to
make a warm current flow downwards
into a cold, underground passage by
any natural influence. To do this is to
oppose that universal law by which
lighter air rises and colder and denser
air falls-the law of gravitation in fact.
But it is possible to get a cool cur
rent of air in this way by some mechan-
zeal device which will either draw the
air through the underground channel,
or force it through it. Many devices
have been tried for thus ventilating
houses, as by burning something in a
suitable pipe above the channel and
thus producing a current, part
of which is diverted into the apartment
TO be cooled. But none of them has
become practically useful. The most
effective way OF overcoming the diff
Guilty described, so far as / have
learned, is to use two-storied cellar,
so to speak, or what may be called a
sub-cellar, the lower part of which is
at least IL or Is feet below the surface,
and is closed against the upper and
warmer air, by perfectly close floor
having tightly fitting trap door in ii
and a stairway down to the bottom.
The cellar is lined with brick or stone
and kept whitewashed with lime to in

SHEEP SHEHRlNGS.

If you have sheep that are old fatten
and market them.
A wELL-KEPr sheep will shear bet
ter fleece than poorly kept one.
A SHEEP that only shears four or five
pounds of wool barely pays expenses.
Ewes that are sucking lambs should
be fed little longer than the other
sheep.
THE sheep that shears good fleece
and furnishes a fine carcass is the kind
to raise.
ONE advantage with small flock is
that the owner can give them better
attention.
For the small farmer, sheep are not
only suitable, but with good man.
agement can be made a very profitable
stock.
THE best way of keeping the sheep
from becoming foul is by trimming
the legs before turning out on the
pasture.
WHATEVER class of sheep you keep,
let them be the best of that class, and
then treat them so as to secure the best
results.
SHEEP distribute their droppings
more evenly than cattle, and generally
on the highest ground where it is usual

THERE is more proportionate diff.
ference il value between good and poor
sheep than between good and poor
animals of any other class of stock. -

A CHARACTER STUDY.

Aou Can Judge Man from the way he

A sure indication of character is found
In the way in which q man carries his
hands" said c. G.. Clarke, of Boston.
You notice men on the street. See
the young man with swinging arms
and palms which are displayed to all
who take the trouble to look. He is
one of that class whose heart is as open
as his hands. He is frank, unsuspicious,
free spender, and believer in the
honesty of his fellows. Notice the bust
ness man more advanced in years. His
hands are always closed so tightly that
he gives you the impression he is ever
expecting an attack. This is the atti-
tude of men bent upon certain object.
1t is an attitude which displays the
qualities of a determination and fight.
I'm debate you will observe some OF

may rest assured that if sheer determi.

plies his knuckles will win before his
colleague who uses his palm. The way
in which the thumb is held is also a
true sign of character. The man who

The upper part was used for churn-

roof over it and thick stone walls. A

into the lower one. Two tiers of shelves
were made on three sides of this lower
part, and these held the milk and but

turc did not vary more than two or
three degrees the whole year The
only objection to it was that at
times it was damp, but on my
suggestion to use fresh burned
lime to absorb the water-which il
does very greedily - this fault was
wholly removed, with the consequent
mustiness that troubled him in the hot
test part of the summer. This cellar
had been in use for several years, and
had been found quite satisfactory. No
doubt it might meet the case in ques-
ton. if the soil is quite free from water
to the required depth. This is obvi-
ously sine quo non, unless the drain
age could be secured at moderate eX-
pense. Some GOODNESS may be secured
by using salt water or other solutions
of crystalline and saline substances. A
lowering of the temperature of six or
eight degrees may be made by dissolv-
ing n pound of salt in ten gallons of
water, and more by adding sulphate OF
soda to the salt. But in practice all

A Legacy of Anguish .

The rheumatic faint transmitted from
parent to child is indeed legacy of an
guish. Moreover, trif1ng causes. such as
sitting in draught, the neglect to speedily
change damp clothing; readily develop it.
Whether rheumatism be hereditary or con.
tracted by exposure, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is the surest depurent for expelling
the virus from the blood and for preventing
the later entertainments of the disease.
Equally potent is it in arresting malarious,
bilious and kidney trouble and constipation.
