TERRIBLE SCALY ECZEMA.
Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and

S>ASSt
Face and Neck Were ALI Broken
out-Cured by Cuticura.
81 had an eruption appear on my
chest and body and extend upwards
and downwards, so that my neck and
face were all broken out; also my arms
and the lower limbs as far as the
knees. I at first thought 1t was prick
~ heat. But soon scales or crusts
formed where the breaking out was.
Instead of going to a physician, 1 pur-
chased a complete treatment Of the
Cuticura Remedies, in which 1 had
great faith, and all was satisfactory.
A year or two later the eruption ap-
peared again; only little lower; but
before it had time to spread 1 pro-
cured another supply Of the Cuticura
Remedies, and continued their use I'M
til the cure was complete. 1t is now
five years since the last attack, and
have not seen any signs Of a return.
I have more faith in Cuticura Rene

4 Serious Hereditary Trouble Cured
BY Dr.. Williams Pink Pills.
Sufferers from ailments that have af.
dioted in regular succession one genera
ton after another of their family are, as
q rule, inclined to submit to them as in
evitable. The case which follows proves
that such hereditary difficulties are not
beyond the reach Of curative forces and
should inspire hopefulness and readi-
ness to try remedies that have effected
signal cures. such as that which is here
given.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rannells, Of No. 4O8
East Seventh street, Newton, Kansas,
gives the following account Of her all
ment and her cure:
"For two years 1 suffered from trying
nervousness in my lower limbs from my
knees down, as my mother and my
grandmother had suffered before me.
The situation was for many years &C
cepted as unavoidable because heredi-
tary. But about two years ago, when my
son was realizing benefit from the use Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, I thought there
might possibly be some good in them for
me. My trouble had then become so
serious as to make it difficult for me to
sleep. often had to walk the floor in
restlessness the whole night. After TAX
Ing some six boxes the twitching disap-
peared and ceased to use the remedy.
I evidently stopped little too soon for
nervousness came back after a month or
so and used the pills again for short
time. Relief came at once and since
stopped using them the second time I
have been free from any return of the
twitchings or from any interference with
my sleep"
. DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
the worst cases of blcodlessness, indiges-
ton, influenza, headaches, lumbago, sci
atica, neuralgia, nervousness, spinal
weaknessand the special ailments of girls
and women. For further information,

ABOLISH THE BINDERS.

The best handlers of horses are
condemning binders.
The purpose of binders is to shut
off from view any object from behind
the horse that might cause the horse
to become alarmed and try to run
away.
AS to this, binders have proven
more disastrous than beneficial. If
a horse passes some object that is
not fully understood by him, and caus-
es fright, the shutting off from view
of this scarecrow by binders only in
creases the fear.
Any horse of ordinary good sense
can soon be taught not to scare at
flags, cars, covered wagons, umbre1-
las, etc, by letting him see them
and understand then.
Give the horse the full power of
all his senses; let them see, hear and
smell, if need be, to satisfy his fears.

RICH MILK FOR CHEESE.

Rich milk will give more cheese
per hundred weight than poor milk,
and the increased yields will be nearly
proportional to the fat contents Of
the different kinds of milk.
The quality of the cheese produced
from rich milk is better than that of
cheese from thin milk, and will COM
mand higher price. DR.. S. M. Bah
cock, in the 18th report OF the Wis
consin Experiment Station, page 134,
has shown that the price of cheese
stands in a direct relation to its fat
content. Professor Robertson, Dairy
Commissioner of Canada, made the
statement that the quality of cheese
from milk containing from three or
four percent of fat, was increased in
value by one eighth of a cent for ev-
cry two-tenths of per cent. of fat
in the milk. Payment on the basis of
the fat content of milk is, therefore,
the most accurate method for valu-
ing milk for cheese making, and divi-
dends should always be calulated from
the results obtained by the testing of
the milk delivered. Milk testing three
per cent. with a correct lactometer
reading of 1882 will yield S.S4 pounds
of cheese per hundred pounds of milk.
Milk testing three per cent, with
corrected lactometer reading of 1882
will yield 1890 pounds of cheese per
one hundred pounds of milk.
This object has been discussed fire.

FEEDING ENSILAGE TO DAIRY
COWS.

A practical and successful dairy
man gives his plan of feeding his
cows through the Jersey Bulletin, and
among other things he says:
We make ensilage our main food.
It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the
value of ensilage, for every dairyman
in the corn belt certainly knows the
value of this great feed. We feed from
80 to so pounds of ensilage per day
in proportion to the COW. 1t is our
intention for our COWS to have all
they want, and in the best condition.
In the winter the ensilage is not re-
moved from the silo until feeding time
and is fed steaming hot.
The ensilage ration is balanced
with bran and clover hay. The bran
is fed in proportion to the period of
lactation of the COW, and as much
as she will consume at a profit. We
feed our ensilage and bran the first
thing in the morning; then do our
milking and separating; then feed as
much clover hay as the COWS will
clean up before noon. The same meth
cd is followed in the evening, feed
ing hay the last thing at night.
We do not depend on grass alone
more than 60 to IS days in the year,
from about May 10th to July goth.
Then If we have any ensilage left ov-
er from winter we feed about 20 to
Is lbs. per day. If we have no ensil-
age we plant a small plot of sweet
corn early in the spring and begin
feeding as soon as it will do, cutting
from the field and hauling to the pas
ture each day. This is more expen-
sive way Of feeding than the ensilage,
but it is far better than to let the
COWS go hungry; for a hungry COW
won't give milk. Our COWS must have
all they want to eat 365 days each
year-Indiana Farmer.

CLEAN PIG GROWING.

Of the most important things. have
compared my own management with
that Of my neighbors who do not
take pains with their pigs, but let
their pens get filthy, the pigs full o
lice, and just go on pouring corn In
to their pens and doing nothing else.
They have just as well bred hogs as
l have, but my hogs at the same
market age on an average weigh rs
to so pounds more than theirs, though
we both finish and feed about the
same corn; that is about all they
will eat up clean at time. Why is
this so. / can account for it in only
one way. l keep my pens cleaned
out, whitewashed and scatter lime In
them, eery once in a while in the
fall and winter I thoroughly disinfect

way my hogs are not hurt with filth
and they get the full benefit of the

do not think that careless farmers
and stock growers have any idea how
much of their stock feed is sacrificed
to filth and vermine, or they would
practice differently in their manage
ment of their live stock. What l ex-
pend in the way of disinfecting my
pens and barns does not cost one per
cent of their losses in feedstuff.

you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for

The relation Of the nerves and gen.
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
organism which makes her a woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability spirits easily affected, SO
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps; pain in the abdominal
region and between the shoulders;
loss Of voice; nervous dyspepsia; a
tendency to cry at the least provoca-
tion-all these point to nervous pros
tration.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering SO surely as Lydia

Mrs. M. E. Shotwell, of 1O3 Flatbush
Avenue, BROOKLYN, N. Y, writes:
81 cannot express the wonderful relief

hams Vegetable Compound I suffered for
q long time with nervous prostratlon, back
ache, headache, loss of appetite. / could
not sleep and would walk the floor almost

life was a burden. / was advised to try
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and it has worked wonders for me.

gone and my friends say look ten years

Will not the volumes of letters from
women made strong by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound convince
all women of its virtues? Surely you
cannot wish to remain sick, weak
and discouraged, exhausted each day,
when you can be as easily cured al

SOME ILLS OF POULTRY.

Clean. varied, easily digested food
Is itself a medicine.
Ailments can be classed as colds,
indigestion, vices and accidents.
Birds can not tell their feelings,
hence We must Judge and prescribe
from symptoms alone.
When fowl sneezes, waters slight.
ly at eyes and nostrils, and dumps,
it has common cold, not regarded
as germ disease.
If digestive organs are clogged, ir-
ritated and congested, then the cir
culation Of blood is impeded, and the
system generally unbalanced.
When face and head swell a good
deal, and thed ischarge from nostrils
is profuse, fowls have Group Or influ-
enza. Irregularity of habit is apt to
accompany colds of all all kinds
The throat is so tender in colds
that bread and milk, warm mashes
and table scraps are about all which
fowls can swallow. A little ginger or
pepper in the mashes is helpful.
If you have scratching room in
which to drive the flock, fumigate
with sulphur their lodging-room. If
you have no suitable place for them
to go, burn oil of tar or resin in their
presence.
Canker in the mouth may extend
to throat and become diphtheria. The
diphtheria of fowls and man are diff.
erent according to the veterinarians,
but attendants on sick birds have
been known to take poultry diphtheria.
An ordinary cold, if taken at once,
can be arrested, by a one-grain pill
of quinine forced down each sick
bird. Give some bread crumbs in con.
nection, to cause quick digestion.

OLD STOCK BEST FOR BREEDERS.

The foundation of success in the
poultry business is good breeding
stock, that from which the future lay
ers are to come. In selecting and
saving breeding stock for next year,
keep the old geese, turkeys and ducks.
also all hens that have done good
service. 1t is quite probable that
they may have fallen behind those
that are young as egg producers, but
it is rule that the strongest young
stock are procured from the matured
birds. The hundreds of chicks that,
as rule, fall by the way side and per-
ish from no apparent cause are the
offspring of pullets. Breeding from
the younger stock every year de-
stroys the turkeys. This fault is not
SO frequent with geese, as the old
ones are not salable in the market,
the young ones only being sold and
the result is that geese give less
trouble in raising than any other class
of poultry. There is a tendency to
place too much reliance upon young
ducks for breedings purposes, result
ing in an increased loss Of ducklings
every year. When the old ducks only
are used, and breeders select the best
and most virogous for breeding pur-
poses, the difficulty of weak offspring
will be overcome. - Farmers Adj
