1t shows thar they know enough to

has led me to think that q better way

at the Ames short course how he feeds
his hogs with self-feedey Puts the
grain In there and the water In An

ANCORA GOATS.
Experience Of Lumber Firm in Mich
tgan in Clearing Brush Land
by Their Ala

A lumber arm IN northssn Michigan
having large tracts of cutover hard.
wood lands and wanting to clear psrt
Of 1t for farm or ranch were. early
in 1904, influenced by an article IN
one of the farm Journals TO utilizing
the Angora goat to keep down the
brush, briars, weeds and underground
until the land could be seeded to tame
grasses and then Craze cattle and
horses on il until the hardwood
stumps would rot out which will be
only matter of few years. BY
this method they expect to subdue
the brush land ready for cultivation
without the great expense of clearing
and grubbing by hand and have a
profitable return from the land and
Angoras in the meantime.
In August, 1904, they turned 600
Angora goats onto 100 acres Of land
from which the timber had been cut
two years previous to that time. This
land was so thickly covered with a
growth OF brush, brias, elders, sumac
and weeds that it was almost impos-
sible for one to get through It. With
in 60 days they were compelled to
turn them onto another 100, as one
would say there was not enough brush
left on the land for a rabbit to live
The blackberry bushes. the tender
shoots OF the elders, and other brush
were eaten to the ground, and the
larger brush, such as maple, beech,
hemlock, wild cherry elders and
sumac were peeled four or five feet
from the ground.
They wintered the lot on the rough.

using no grain or heavy feed what
ever, except a small amount of culled
beans fed TO the weaker ones and

WORST FORM OF ECZEMA.
Black spotches All Over Face-Af
fected Parts Now Clear as Ever
Cured by the Cuticura REM
cdies.

About four years ago I was aff1ict-
ed with black splotches all over my
face and a 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. Fin
ally my husband purchased a set of
the Cuticura Remedies, and after
using the contents of the first bottle
of Cuticura Resolvent in connection
with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
the breaking out entirely stopped. l
continued the use of the Cuticura
Remedies for six months, and after
that every splotch was entirely gone
and the affected parts were left as
clear as ever. The Cuticura Rene
dies not only cured me of that dread
full disease, eczema, but other compli-
Gated troubles as well. Lizzie E.

JEALOUS OF Boobies WIFE.
New York Woman's Excuse for Fits
of Extravaganza.

Women dearly love an excuse for
little extravagances, says the New
York Globe. OF course, the masculine
readers OF this column are not expect
ed to indorse this, for, according to
the masculine thought, women need
no excuse" for their extravagances-
they just have them without rhyme or
reason.
An uptown woman has a charming
excuse for any extra indulgence in
her two-year-old blueeyed son Bob
bic and Bobbie's future wife. In trust
for Bobbie is handsome estate which
gives her great concern because she
feels that she must save and econo-
mize for Bobbie, for Boobies college
education, his European trip, and, "oh,
dearl" she always adds, Boobies
wife" Wearying of a continued spell
of economy, in a moment of reckless
extravaganza she'll buy lot of dear,
delightful things, have her fingers
manicured, her hair shampooed and
take fascinating trips here and there.
And then when her conscience will
prick she'll say, why not? Boobies
wife will, and he won't care how
much it costs" And Boobies wife
won't, either. She'll spend joyously
and gloriously.
