BABY COVERED WITH SORES.

Have Died But for Cuticura.''

"My little son, when about year and
half old, began to have sores come out
on his face. I.had a physician treat him,
but the sores grew worse. Then they be-
gan to come on his arms, then on other
parts of his body, and then one came on
his chest, worse than the others. Then
I called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end of about year
and half of suffering he grew so bad
/ had to tie his hands in cloths at night
to keep him from scratching the sores
and tearing the flesh. lie got to be a
mere skeleton, and was hardly able to
walk. My Aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment. | sent to the
drug store and got a>cake of the Soap and
box of the Ointment, and at the end of
about two months the sores were all well.
He has never had any sores of any kind
since. He is now strong and healthy,
and can sincerely say that only for your
most wonderful remedies my precious child
would have died from those terrible sores.

IMPROVING OLD ORCHARDS.
Renovation Can Be Accomplished by
Pruning and Use of Barn
yard Manure.

The renovation of an old orchard
often requires SO much labor that one
is tempted to abandon it and begin
anew. If the trees are in very bad con-
dition severe pruning, heavy manur-
ing and thorough tillage will be neces-
sary. If barnyard manure is available,
spread all over the orchard at the rate
of so loads per acre in early spring,
and plow under, blowing as deep as
possible without serious injury to the
roots. Then disk or harrow repeated
ly, and about May 1 sow to cowpeas.
If the soil is very poor, turn under
the peas the last week of August and
at once sow rye six pecks to the acre,
which is to be plowed under in the
early spring.
The pruning is best done in January
and February, suggests Farm and
Home, and Immediately thereafter
spray the trees with 3O-pound solu-
ton of lime, sulphur and salt, which
will destroy all scale, insects, lichens,
moss, etc. After the leaves are out,
if the foliage is unhealthy, spray with
bordeaux mixture.

CUT GREEN BONE.
The Most Economical Feed When Fed
Judiciously-A Good Feed
Box to Use.

This article on the use of cut green
bone was secured for the benefit of our
readers who desire to have the most
thoroughly up-to-date information on
this subject, which has direct bearing
upon the question of winter-egg pro-
duction, says the Country Gentleman
When it is possible to have the cut
green bone within the limit of an out
lay that will not exceed the value of
the eggs produced, no kind of food
will equal it in value as an egg pro-
ducer. In localities where the raw ma.
terial can be obtained it is very large
ly used to advantage; those who use
it admit that it excels all other kind of
animal food for the laying hen.
We give below design for feed box,
made of wood, which is excellent for
feeding green cut bone, for an even dis
tribution among hens; the cut bone

BOX FOR FEEDING GREEN BONE

should be mixed in with the dry wheat
bran, using enough of the bran to sep
arate thoroughly the cut bone, placing
all in the feed box or trough, from
which the hens can help themselves.
This has the advantage of dividing the
cut bone equally, as we'll as providing
dry bran food, which is enjoyed by
the hens, who make good use of it in
the manufacture OF eggs. The Stats on
the trough prevent the fowls from
scratching the bran about and wasting
ing it.
Cut green bone is the great egg pro-
Queer. 1t aids the growth of pullets
intended for winter-egg production.
When fed to the young chicks, you
can almost see them grow. 1t con-
tains fat, lean, protein and phosphates.
From this can be made all the COM
ponent parts of the egg, even to the
shell. The egg contains about Is per
cent. of shell, skin, ETC., sc per cent.
of water, IL per cent. of protein and
ten per cent. of fat, and small per-
centage of mineral matter. This would
bone alone, dry and free from blood,
contains about one-third animal mat
ter and 81 per cent. of phosphate of
lime. To have the best cut green bone
for the hens, it should be at least one
half meat.
In making a comparison of foods,
Mr.. Jacobs says: cit will be seen that
green bone, rich in blood and adhering
meat, contains more protein, more fat
and so times as much mineral matter
as an egg-that is, pound for pound (of
eggs and green bone).. The bone not
only contains all the elements for pro-
ducing the egg, but has some to spare
for the maintenance of the fowl" This
is one of the few kinds of feed for hens
that contains full complement of the
necessary elements for making the en-
tire egg and a surplus as well for sus-
tanning health and vigor.
One pound of cut green bone is
full allowance per day for 16 hens; this
with wheat and cracked corn and some
shortcut clover or alfalfa hay, will
make perfect ration for the laying
hen.

Increase Eve Trouble.

Spectacles, according to an oculist,
often increase the eye trouble they
are meant to correct because they are
improperly used. The man who
needs glasses to read by, but not to see
at a distance, often puts them on in
a street car or similar place." says
this oculist, "and then when he looks
up still uses them for looking at
things little way off. This gradually
changes the focus of the eye, so that
he comes finally to see better with
them than without them. Then he
needs stronger glasses to read with
and the trouble gets worse and worse.
One way to avoid this is to wear the
reading glasses so low on the nose
that they may be looked over instead
of through when the glance is raised"

mad, and they got ready to roast pa,
and guess they would have eaten
him half cooked, if it hadn't been for
the performers and freaks who had
missed their pet dogs, and the circus
hands told them the cannibals had
just gone to the woods with mess of
dogs to roast for dog feast.
Well, they were just getting a fire
around pa, and he was giving the
grand hailing sigh of distress, when
the performers, headed by the fat
woman, whose peeled Mexican dog
was lost in the shuttle, came in
amongst the cannibals, and pa and the
other dogs were rescued, in the
darnedest fight / ever saw. The per
formers just walked right over the
cannibals, and mauled them with
stakes, and al the dogs that had not
been killed were pulled away from
the heather, and saved. The fat
woman got her dog all right, and
when pa came up from the stake
where they were going to burn him,
and congratulated her on recovering
him of being the leading cannibal
and that he was the one who put up
the whole job to steal the dogs. She
jabbed him with parasol, but pa
was innocent.
The Indians got back to the tent
along towards morning, and the can
nibals went back with us, and we had
10 ioI,
the nearest to roast oog we could get
for them at that time of night.
Pa seems to get it in the neck IN
this show, cause everything that goes
wrong is laid to him, and if anything
goes right, somebody else gets the
credit, and think he would resign if
| it was not for his pride. After the
| trouble about the Indians and the
cannibals the manager called pa up
and reprimanded him for INDUCING
the tribes in their wild orgies, and
| said we couldn't maintain discipline
as long as pa mixed up with them and
encouraged them in such things.
Pa tried to explain that he was the
victim instead of being tho cause of
the dog roast, but the manager dis.
missed pa by telling him not to let it
| occur again. Then to show the incon.
| sistency of the manager, he ordered
pa to go on ahead of the show to New
York, and advertise that the cannibals
in our show would give an exhibition
of roasting and eating human being,
| and to offer reward for anybody that
would consent to be roasted and eat
en- in public.
Pa has gone to New York to look
! for somebody who will take the posi-
| ton of meat for the cannibals, and he
is instructed to spare no expense to
| find such man. He thinks he may
find somebody connected with the
Equitable Life insurance scandal, who
has lost all desire to live any longer,
and who will gladly go into this "mu-
| tual'' scheme. I don't know.

sticks around him, and pa told me to
go to the circus lot and give an alarm,
and send the hands to rescue him.
Gee, but didn't run though, and yell
an alarm big enough for massacre.
l told the hands, who were sleeping
under the seats, or playing cards on
the trunks that the Indians were
burning pa at the stake, and some of
the hands said that would serve him
right, and the fellows that were play
ing cards said they didn't want TO
break up the game when they were
losers, to rescue no baldheaded cur
mudgeon. 1 thought pa was goner,
sure, cause l could hear the Indians
yell, and I thought l could smell flesh
burning. Oh, but l was scared for fear
they would burn pa alive.
Just then the man who had charge
of our cannibals, who each had a dog
that they were looking for a place to
roast, came along and told him about
/ the Indians corn roast, and he ordered
the oannibals to go drive the Indians
away from their fire and roast their
and the cannibals made rush for the
Indians and drove them away just as
they had lighted the fire around pa,
and we were not a minute too soon.
After the Indians had skedaddled for
the woods, and we cut the cords that
bound pa, tae cannibals went to work
and skun the dogs, and began to cook
them, and pa looked on, until it made
him squirmish, but he was SO tickled
at being saved from the Indians, that
he tried to be a good fellow with the
cannibals. l guess it would have been
all right, only the cannibals got to
drinking the Philadelphia beer, and
then it was all off, cause roast dog
wasn't good enough for them, and
they wanted to roast ga.
First they offered pa dog to eat, but
he had swore off on dog, and passed
on it. and that made the cannibals

Last year our show killed a Quaker,

The Quaker got in the show because
he owned a half inch of ground that
its tents were on, and he stood right
by the ring, and when the champion
female rider was suspended in the air
between two bareback horses, he
leaned over too far inside the ring,
and she kicked his hat clear up to the
roof of the tent, and a female trapeze
performer up there caught it and sat
down on it on the trapeze. The old

ager picked up a company of canni-
balls that had got left over from the
st. Louis fair, and who agreed to per-
form for their board and clothes, and
as they don't wear any clothes to
speak of, and only eat dog week days,
and hope to get human being to
roast on Sunday, it seemed pretty
good bargain.
Well, the Indians got permission to
hold a green corn dance in a piece of
woods near the circus lot, and the
management got them wagon load
of corn, and they had built fire and
were roasting the corn, and dancing,
and pa didn't know about it, and just
after dark the Quaker who owned the
woods complained to pa, who was on
watch Sunday night, that his Indians
had got off the reservation and were
preparing to go on the warpath, and
he wanted them to get off his prem
Uses. Pa said he would go right over
and drive them back to the tents.

and drive them off, but he said he
hadn't no time to go and wake up the
police, and they wouldn't get around
anyway before the middle of the
week. So pa took tent stake and
started for the green corn roast. The
Indians were taking turns dancing
and eating roasted corn, and they had

YOU are unable to quietly and calmly

The relation of the nerves and gem
erative organs in woman is SO close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement of the

Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability spirits easily affected, so
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps; pain in the abdominal

loss of voice; nervous dyspepsia; q

tration.

tration and suffering so surely as Lydia
