"The extent Of my sufferings can be

with no success, and tried all the patent
medicines recommended for Eczema,
without any good results. / then went
to the Indiana Mud baths, with the same
results, and then to Mt. Clements, the
celebrated medical resort, where the
treatment partially helped me, but the
disease shortly returned. l went to
Florida, thinking that a change of cli-
mate and water and the citron fruit
might cure me, but found no cure.
81 then tried S.S.S.and after three days
the burning and itching subsidized, and

He Is Accused OF Eating 300 Bushels
OF Apples in n Night.
Col. Deevers was one of the most cele-
brated characters in central Ohio. He
was nothing If not prodigal in his gen.
erosity, his flow of Language, his wealth
of imagination. The colonel never ex-
planned how ne got his title, but he al
ways insisted on being addressed by
that title.
On one occasion, says a local ex-
change the colonel employed a lawyer
to attend to q trifing matter for him
and promised speedy settlement of
the account. Time went by and the
colonel failed to keep his world The
lawyer stirred the colonel up about it
the next time he saw him in town, and
the upshot of it was that the colonel
agreed to send the lawyer dozen bush
els of the finest apples in Ohio. But no
apples came to the lawyer. Oneday he
saw the colonel in town and immediate
ly bore down on him for an explana-
ton. He got it. The colonel, taking his
friend by the lapel of his coat, said, i'm
pressively:
"Mr. Williams, fully expected to
send you those apples, L had 'em, sir;
yes, sir, 300 bushels Of the finest apples
ever raised in the state of Ohio. l had
'em all cribbed up, and one night a
derned little yearlin' bull broke in and
eat 'em all up. Yes, sir, ever last one of
'em."

STORAGE OF GRAIN.

Care Must BE Taken to Insure Itn
Keeping I'm Good Condition.
On the average farm IL is nearly al
ways necessary 70 store more or less
grain. Oats for seed andfeeding, wheat
for seed and exchange at the mill for
-four, as well as 10 market Wheat Is
cash crop and can be turned into
money at any time; 1t Is often as good
@ plan to store the wheat in the granary
and sell as the money Is needed as to sell
direct from the machine, when the
threshing is done, and then put the
money In the bank.
But IL is essential when grain Of any
kind is to be stored away that pains be
taken to store in such q way as will In
sure its keeping in good condition.
This granary should be clean, well-ven-
tilated and as nearly ver1nin-proof as
possible. A separate building will gen
orally supply these conditions more
fully than any other.
If o new granary is to be built, the
work should he done in good season, SO
ns to be sure to have 1t ready when the
threshing is done, as there is always
more or less loss every time that small
grain is handled, and it Is quite an item
to handle 1t as little as possible.
The granary should be built with the
floor well up from the ground, set ON
pillars; put inverted pans or sheets Of
iron over each post to keep out rats and
mice; have a good, solid floor and be
sure that it is tight. Have good ventila-
ton at the top. The size must, Of
course, depend on the quantity of grain
to be stored, but 1t Is best to have pten-
4y of room, so that In case it is necessary
to store damp grain there will be room
10 stir Il about.
With an old granary thorough clean
ing out should be given, and 1t will be
better II the inside is thoroughly white
washed, using O good lime wash into
which small quantity of carbolic acid
or copperas has been stirred.
1t is hardly good economy to start a
crop in such way OF under such con.
ditions that 1t will NOT be reasonably
sure of keeping in good condition.
There is always some loss in storing
grain; 1t is quite an item to mako this
as small as possible.--St. Louis Repub-

PASTURES NEED CARE.
The Future of Hay Farming in the
United states.

The Future OF Hay Farming in tho
United states.
The desire to cultivate as much land
as possible In order TO getthe most pos
sible from 1t has led to general neglect
of meadow and pasture lands Only
when II Is found that the soil had lost
so much fertility that 1t would not pay
for cultivating was 1t seeded down or
left to grow up with such heritage, both
weeds and grass, as nature provided.
The result Is that most OF the land now
in grass is by that very fact discredited
as being presumably fit for nothing
else. Yet there Is In all grass land q
constant tendency TO increase In fer
tility. II is so even when the land Is
left to grow UP with the weeds and
bushes. These shelter The surface, hold
the leaves that fall on tho land from
being blown away. The decomposition
Of these leaves gradually builds up the
soil, and 10 this must be added the ex-
crement from animals fed on the herb
age which the soil is still able to grow.
Usually when the improvement of
grass land is determined upon the soil
to be turned under and rot is regarded
as an important part Of the soil assets.
Improving the land rs meadow and
pasture by manuring 1t and still leav-
ing It unplowed is hardly ever thought
Of. Yet as In most cases the grass land
is, even with manure, not quite rich
enough for profitable cropping, the ex-
pertinent Is worth trying of applying
to II such manure as can be had and see
what the increased grass or hay prod
uct will be worth. This is done success
fully In England. Why may it not in the
older parts Of this country? The de-
mand for hay is generally good In all
eastern cities. VIII IL pay to fertilize
grass lands so as to make the growing
Of hay profitable? II 1t will not pay to
maintain fertility in grass land, the log
ical sequence is that all hay or grass
taken from It helps to reduce fertility
so that the soil will be worth nothing
for the production of any kind of crop.
1t Is likely that in the future, as in
the past, most of the hay crop On this
country will be produced In the years
when the rotation between cultivated
crops and grass requires that the land
be seeded. Our climate is notm like
that of England. Hence 1t cannot keep
good sod so many years without plow-
ing and reseeding. This also is so much
the best for cultivated land that there
need be no fear that the profits of cul-
tivated crops will so lessen the amount
of land In grass that there will not be
hay enough to feed with grain and
coarser fodder, nor that it will fail to
be supplied at reasonable prices.-Cul-
tivator.

THE CARS ARMY.


Russia Can Place a Mighty Military
Force in the Field.
The army of the czar is composed of
21 corps darme divided up into IA con-
scriptions. The strength Of each corps
is about $4,000 men. The infantry COM
prfses about 165 regiments of the line,
20 regiments of chasseurs, 16 regiments
of grenadiers and IL regiments of the
guard. This is very fine army, well
organized, of great resisting power and
prodigious tenacity, says the Detroit
Free Press. It is armed with repeat
ing rifle very much like the French Lee
bel, and which is highly esteemed by the
Russian generals. The artillery is COM
posed of 90 siege batteries, 1914 field
batteries, Is mountain batteries, 43 bat
teries, q cheval and three mortar regi-
ments--altogether nearly 5000 light
pieces and 1900 siege guns.
Besides this there are brigades Of
engineers, military train, railroad cleo.
tricians, torpedoists, velocipedists, po-
lice, etc. AS to the imperial cavalry it is
we'll known to be one of the finest and
by far the most considerable in Europe.
1t Is composed of regulars and regi-
ments like Cossael0s, for example, who
enjoy certain degree of independence
and some privileges and who yet submit
to the usual discipline. This cavalry is
divided into Ell squadrons, of which 352
are regular cavalry, cuirassiers.

ALUMINIUM CLOCK HANDS.
Substantial Advantages Attending
Their Use ON Big Clocks.

Substantial Advantages Attending
Their Use ON Big Clocks.
Aluminium is now used in making
clock hands, for which it is an ideal ma
terial. The pointers of great clocks
were formerly made of soft wood, says
and exchange. For these were substi-
tuted pointers made of thin sheets Of
copper, pointer being composed Of
two strips, wh ich were cupped or hol-
lowed, and then brought together edge
to edge, with the rounded sides out,
thus giving rigidity as well as lightness.
Aluminium pointers for big clocks are
made in this way, but they are far
lighter ard easier to balance.
1t is not unusual, on large clocks i'm
windows and elsewhere, to see pro-
jecting from the baseof the long pointer
and in line with the rod with it a ball at
the end. this rod being perhaps third
as long as the big pointer. This rod
and ball are a counterweight for the
big pointer, which, without counter
weight, would. in its movement around
the dial bear unevenly upon the arbor
or shaft which carries it. On great
clocks, and often on big clocks indoors,
this counterpoise is placed inside the
dial, out of sight, ON the arbor.
The heavier the pointer the greater
the weight required in the counter
poise; the greater the weight the more
friction on the arbor; and the more
friction the greater power required to
drive the clock. BY the use of alumni
ium pointers these drawbacks are re-
duced to a minimum,

To unload, fasten the ropes to beam,
and with the team draw the wagon
slowly out from under the load. The
first time may not always prove sue

As to be determined by practice. In un-
loading, IL the fodder is heavy, the front
end Of the rack must be tied to the wag-

rectly over the hind wheels, as the
weight of the fodder is liable to tip up
the rack. In tying the ropes to the
beam or post, do 1t high enough to pre-
vent the drawing downward upon the
fodder. They should be of equal length,
which may be regulated by one man
drawing down on one or the other while

POLITICIANS CLEVER RUsE.
How aConRressmhns weIls the Heads
of His Constituents.

of His Constituents.
There is ~ member OF congress who
does not live a thousand miles away
from Pennsylvania and New Jersey who
has hit upon q very clever scheme to
make himself solid throughout his dis
trict. In fact, this congressman is con-
tinually hitting uponsuch schemes, and
they extend so far that he canprobably
represent his district as long us he
wants or until his constituents conclude
to put him In some other Office, the gov
ernorship of his state, for instance, says
the Philadelphia Press.
His latest little scheme to bring him
self pleasantly to the recollection Of a
large number Of his constituents is
unique. There are several hundred post
offices in his district, and, OF course,
the usual number of applicants for each
one. The Endorsements of the apph-
cants are on file at the post office de-
partment, and usually contain long
list of names Of prominent patrons Of
the office.
When the congressman makes o. rec
concentration of a man for amy post
Office he takes the list Of the mans in
dorsers and sends each one personal
letter much after this fashion:
an accordance with your recommen-
datlon, / have to-day named - for
postmaster at ----."
Each man who receives such a letter
immediately has new idea of his own
in politics and is pleased to think that
his congressman recognizes his i'm
portance. In any case, the receipt of a
personal letter 1rom a member of con-
gress is apt to tickle the vanity Of a
private citizen.
