Itching and Burning of the Skin

As in eczema; the frightful scaling, as
in psoriasis; the loss of hair and crust

facial Disagreement, as in pimples
and ringworm; the awful suffering Of
infants, and anxiety of wornout par

most superhuman virtues to success

purity and sweetness, the power to
afford immediate relief, the certainty
of speedy and permanent cure, the

table matter l. absolutely essential
to q productive and profitable soil.
II gives lightness, looseness and
friableness to the soil and enables IL
to resist drouth. Lands that have

their vegetable matter burned out

ure. II this is not available, a crop
OF clover or cowpeas turned under
when reasonably mature will answer
admirably. Ii is a mistake to turn
any OF these crops under when worry

that they do not supply as much
vegetable matter and plant food as
they will II allowed to grow longer.
The practice. Of allowing a crop OF
weeds to grow upon a piece Of land
to be plowed under to furnish vege.
table matter, while helpful, Is not the
best, because the weeds are likely to
be allowed, through pressure OF 9TH
er work, to ripen seed before they are
turned under, and in this manner Is
the way paved for endless labor with
future crops. Besides, the weeds do
not draw any valuable plant food
from the air and from the depths Of
the subsoil as do such crops asclover
and cowpeas.
1t Is a matter Of the highestimpor-
tance that all vegetable matter pro.
duced on the farm be returned to the
soil instead Of being burned, in order
that the supply OF humus be main.
tanned The eaatern farmer and par.
ticulsrly the Pennsylvania German,
goes to the trouble every year to
haul all OF his straw and corn fodder
to she barn to be Used as feed and
bedding, so that it may be incorpor-
ated with the manure, the liquid be
absorbed and saved, and so that
none OF this vegetable matter may
be lost.
While it is scarcely necessary for us
in the Middle West to invest this
much labor in this phase Of manure
saving, it will not pay us to burr
any more straw or corn stalks and
other vegetable matter, unless the
burning is necessary to destroy a
heavy crop OF weed seed.
By carefully saving all OF the vege.
table matter produced on the farm
and returning it to the soil as man
IRE, and by systematic rotation OF
crops, in which once every four years
the land ia in clover, and this ia none
too o. ten for Missouri conditions, the
eastern farmer has been able to keep
the vegetable matter in his soil, al
though it has been in cultivation for
more than a hundred years. The
earlier we in the Middle West learn
the lessons that the eastern farmer
was long ago forced to learn, the
easier it will be for us to keep our
soils up to their present high state of
fertility and productiveness.

Ny face was in such condition that
I could not go out. 1t was going

ELECTRICITY AND PLANT LIFE.

How electricity influences plant
growth has been easy TO explain. 1t is
pointed out that the heat can have lit
tie effect, as this cannot replace, or
greatly reinforce the heat of sunshine.
The electricity acts as a stimplus to
to all the vital processes. Capillary at
traction of water is promoted by a
positive current flowing upward. and,
as electric influence is beneficial only
with an abundance of water. the rise
of fluid is assumed to play a part. in
some exceptions a positive flow down
ward gives the best results, which is
thought to mean that more food is
supplied by the leaves than is gener-
ally thought.

The camp was visited Tuesday morn

amounted almost to a clOudburst. The
railroad bridge here was somewhat
damaged but fortunately its repair was
a matter of but a few hours a sec

destroyed. several trees were uprOOted.
and the large galvanized iron tank at
the corral was carried away down the
gulch. Besides this there was little
serious damage done.

HEN FIRST AMONG MONEY MAX
ERS.

With the strength born of govern
ment statistics Franklin Forbes con-
tends in the Current Success maya
zine that the mother Of the American
| chicken is al once the most product
! i've. as size is the most reliable. Of all
of our industrial money makers.
The last census OF poultry of the
United States showed that the total
number Of chickens was 233.59S, O45;
turkeys, 6,599.367; geese 5.676,SG3. and
ducks. 4.SO7.35S. Eighty eight and one
eighth per cent Of the farmers of this
country had poultry as an asset At
least 100000. 900 chickens, to say moth
ing of other kinds of poultry, are con-
sumed each year.
According To the government author
tiles egg and poultry earnings for
one recent year amounted TO $3.50. OOO,-
600. The total value Of the gold, silver.
wool and sheep produced in America
during the year in question was S272,-
434,315.
The sugar production the same year
was but $20,OOO,0OO.
That part Of the wheat crop used at
home, which many consider the most
valuable of all our agricultural pro-
ducts. was worth S229.OOO,0OO
The great American hog. as cOnsum-
ed at home and abroad. brought 1885,
529.O35.
The value of the oat crop was SIS
$4,000
Potatoes grown in the United States
We're valued at nearly as large a sum
as were the oats.
The product of tobacco plantations
was estimated to be worth S35,579.225.
Cotton, the dethroned king Of sta
pies. could show only $259,161,64O. as
against the magnificent earnings of its
feathered rival.
The crops of flax. timothy, clover.
millet and cane seeds. broom corn. cas-
tor beans. hay. hay straw. etc. could
not. all told, come within measurable
distance of many millions of the pOul-
try earnings.
The hens produced in this country
annually would fill 43,127O0O crates,
each of the latter holding 800 eggs;
also a train of refrigerator cars to
carry these eggs would be nearly 900
miles long; furthermore. il would take
107,S18 such cars to maks up this lit
tie train.
The ideal hen. Mr.. Forbes discovers
through the scientists. should lay i'm
the neighbOrhOod Of 200 egs a year |
There are many gifted creatures Of this !
sort, and millions would be added to |
the national wealth if all chickens |
could be persuaded to make such per-
fOrmances their ambition.
Exhaustive experiments by we'll |
equipped investigators prove that the !
egg deserves it's reputation as an cas- |
lily asismilated and highly nutritious
food, if eaten raw or lightly cooked |
Such experiments also show that eggs
at y cents per dozen are a cheap |
source of nutrients; at Is cents some |

college athletics tend to prolong
rather than to shorten life. THE nos

chat athletes die young has been
so often made without definite refu-

those who mistake rumor for fact.

butterfly bow could be devised. This
bow Is made of lace, white or colored,
in width from four, five to six inches.
The first step is to form the body OF
the insect with some white wadding.
and then to cover it with fine white
cambria. Cover that again with some

silk twist cross-strap the body from
its head to the fine-pointed end of the
body. Make then three fans of the
lace, that is, take the lace and d.

From the bottom or straight edge OF
each lace division slope off enough
lace so that when each section is
gathered and drawn up the sections
will all three be widest in the middle
and taper down on each side. The
middle section is to be sewed into
a tight little bunch of gathers at the
body head. while the other two sec

insect, when gathered are to be
drawn down to the insects side. none

to double the wing effect. for each
