About four years ago | was af-

my face and few covering my body.
which produced a severe itching irri-
tation, and which caused me a great
deal of annoyance and suffering, to
such an extent that | was forced to
call in two of the leading physicians
of my town. After a thorough eXami-
nation of the dreaded complaint they
announced it to be skin eczema in its
worst form. They treated me for the
same for the length of one year. but
the treatment did me no good. Finally
my husband purchased set of the
Cuticura Remedies, and after using the
contents of the first bottle of CutiCura

use of the CutiCura Remedies for six

What Makes Quality In Eggs.

The grocer soon learns that he must
send good eggs to his customers or he
will not have them long, and the farm
cr who is progressive will soon learn
that he must do the same. The word
fresh" when applied to eggs, may
mean a great deal, or 1t may not. The
egg grower who wishes to create a reg
ular demand for his eggs at high
prices must market his stock promptly,
for there is nothing that so disgustS
the experienced handler of eggs as TO
find that the eggs that he bought for
fresh had been held in the country for
two or three weeks. Storage eggs, tnat
are put into the refrigerator immedi-
tely after they are laid, come out bet
ter, after four or five months have
elapsed. than the eggs that are allowed
to remain in the farmers pantry for a
month after they are laid before they
are marketed.

FOul Odors In Cellar,

When cellars become musty or foul,
and odors are noticed. the best thing to
do is to close all the doors and windows
and burn enough sulphur to FIJI the cell
lar room with dense fumes. Leave il
closed for an hour or two and then open
the doors and windows. Next, white
wash the walls and ceilings with two
coats of good whitewash. Sulphur gas
is heavy and settles, hence care must
be used to asitate the air In the cellar
by selecting windy day for tile work.
Sulphur fumes will destroy all kinds of
germs.

New Use for WatcrmeIons.

A Georgia farmer is said to have be
come the pioneer in a new industry
namely. making sirup out of watermel
ons. He cuts the melons in halves
scoops out the pulp, runs it through &
cider mill, presses ont the juice ant
then boils the liquid for twelve hours
over a hot fire. Out OF go melons
worth 81 or Sc at wholesale, he gets
thirty gallons of sirup, and markets the
product 1T 80 cents a gallon. The re
fuse is red to the hogs, cattle and chick
ems, and the whole operation is very
profitable.

Levy. the great authority, once re
moved the eyes Of several bats and
covered the vacant sockets with leather
patches. In this condition the bats flew
about the room, avoiding the walls and
corners. and when door was open they
flew ont of it without touching the jam
Dor the frame.
"Afterward, in Tying through a sewer
that made a right angle. the bats turned
mt the proper point without brushing the
walls, and they flew through threads
suspended from the ceiling without
touching them, though between the
threads there was only an interval sut-
hcent for their passage with spread
pinions.
Bats living in the dark, have found
their eyes almost useless, and have de
yeloped a sixth sense that takes the

Late Weeds,

The late weeds in the garden-those
that come in August and September.
are the ones that produce seed before
the fact is noticed and thus stock the
ground with weeds the next year. The
garden is often neglected late In the
summer, but it should be kept clear of
weeds until .rost, and the result will
be a great saving of labor in the grow
ing of small fruits and vegetables, ms
most of the work required is due to the
weeds and grass which spring up at all
times.
