An advertisement for girl to
work on a New Zealand dairy farm
concludes with the statement that
there are four good looking sons in
the family. Who can doubt that
this bait will secure many bite or
hundreds Of replies Will be sent in to
that advertisement? Most girls dis
like dairy work, but who can resist
membership in family where she
is sure to be waited on, attended to

until the new girl will own fourth
interest in the dairy as well as the
rest Of the farm.

A FEW SHEEP DoN'Ts.
What the Patient Animals Have to
Say in Reference to
Their Comfort.

The editor of the Farm and Fireside
has interviewed Sir Sheep and OBJ
tanned the following pertinent protests
as to his treatment:
Don't put us in a cold, bleak place
to winter. We are very tender and
need comfortable quarters.
Don't expect us to thrive without
! plenty Of good water. OF course. we
could eat snow for five or six months
and live, but you try it for a single
day and see how you enjoy the change.
Don't feed us buckwheat and then
wonder why we pull our wool.
Don't conf1ne US to a small open
shed for the winter, but give us also
a good yard where we al enjoy the
sunshine.
Don't look for a profit from us If
wintered on straw, or timothy hay, and
no grain, but feed SO as to keep us in
a good, hearty condition. Then feed
for milk on a ration of clover hay,
oats, wheat bran, turnips, or any good
mil%k-producing food, as this is very
essential t o our young. wherefrom all
your profit is derived.
Don't, as l said before, keep us on
timothy hay alone, for in case you find
any of us cold and l~ifeless, you will be
telling your neighbors we died of grub
in the head, when in reality it was a
lack of grub in the stomach.
Doa't turn us out on some old bar
rem hillside in the spring as o O as
you can discover a little green spot in
the valley and then declare there is no
profit in sheep.
Don't, II we have become weak and
thin, and refuse to W our young,
kick. club and misuse us, and use lam
guage entirely UNFIT for your Sabbath
school class t hear, but tie the dog
near by, and as we are no friend to
the canine race our mother love soon
turns to the innocent, helpless crea-
ture at our side and the trouble is
over.
Don't shear us the first Of April,
then leave us out in the open air ex-
posed to the cold and storm.
You would not for q moment think
OF raising a good wheat or corn crop
without some labor and expense, and
it is the same with Us. Just exercise
q little patience. kind treatment and
proper care and food, and we will am
ply repay you for your time and trou-

o Y TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts
Hands Pinned Down--Mirac-
ulous Cure by C%uticura.

when my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extended
70 quickly over the whole body that we at
once called in the doctor. We then went
to another doctor, but he could not help
him, and in our despair we went to q
third one. Matters became 80 bad that
he had regular holes in his cheeks, large
enough TO put q finger into. The food
had to be given with n 9, DON, for his
mouth was covered with crusts as thick
as q finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and suppurate,
as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest,
and back, in short the whole body, vas
covered over and over. We had no rest
by day or night. Whenever he was laid
in his bed, we had to pin his hands down;
otherwise he would scratch his face, and
make an open sore. ! think his face must
have itched most fearfully..
I'VE finally thought nothing could hep,
wife with the child to Europe, hoping that
the sea air might cure him, otherwise he
was to be put under good medical care
there. But, Lord be blessed, matters came
differently, and we soon saw a miracle. A
friend of ours spoke about Cuticura. We
made a trial with C~uticura Soap, ONT
ment, and Resolvent, and within ten days
or two weeks we noticed a decided inn
provement. just as quickly as the sick
ness had appeared It also began to dis.
| appear, and within ten weeks the child
was absolutely well, and his skin was
smooth and white as never before. +.

AS his natural heirs It is our duty to
protect him from such persons.
We went down to the train to meet
him, and warned him that he must be
very cautious Of strangers during his
stay In New York. When WI took the

elderly gentleman with q long, white

some remark about bees. which have
always been a hobby Of his. The pro-
