Test the Eggs Under Hens.

l have been using hens as well as
incubators and consider it just as es
sential and profitable TO test the eggs
under the hens as the incubators, says
Kate ThySOn Mari in Poultry Success.
The advantages are that the hen is,
when relieved of the infertile eggs,
less liable to tramp the chicks, since
the nest is not SO full. Again, If the
eggs are not valuable and one has set
three hens, for instance, the good eggs
can in most cases be given to two hens
and the other reset, thus saving two
weeks of the hens time
Roll piece of tar paper into funnel

round and of proper size to admit the
egg halfway, as in testing. Make
about eighteen inches long.

AWFUL PSORIASIS IS YEARS.
Terrible ScaIy Humor in Patches All
Over the Body-Skin Cracked and
Bleeding-Cured by Cuticura.

81 was afflicted with psoriasis for
thirty-fve years. 1t was in patches
all over my body. used three cakes
of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Oint-
ment and two bottles of Resolvent.
In thirty days 1 was completely cured,
and 1 think permanently, as it was
about five years ago. The psoriasis
first made it's appearance in red spots,
generally forming a circle, leaving in
the center spot about the size of a
silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short
time the affected circle would form
a heavy dry scale of white silvery
appearance and would gradually drop
off. To remove the entire scales by
bathing or using oil to soften them
the flesh would be perfectly raw, and
a light discharge of bloody substance
would ooze out. That scaly crust
would form again in twenty-four hours.
1t was worse on my arms and limbs,
although it was in spots all over my
body, also on my scalp. If l let the
scales remain too long without remov-
ing by bath or otherwise, the skin
would crack and bleed. l suffered in
tense itching, worse at nights after
getting warm in bed, or blood warm
by exercise, when it would be almost
unbearable. W. NJ. Chidester, Hutch

neither a business nor a trade. So,
while it was possible to get men of

Flynn was on night duty at the time,
and the arrest was made just as he
was relieved in the morning, so he
brought the prisoner in himself and
had him booked" as vagrant. Then
he sat about the station and smoked
for time before going home to break

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES D

Bring in the hoboes!" was the or
der, and Policeman Flynn knew tnat
that meant to round up all Migrants.
The department had been severely
scored because of the increase In she
number of petty thefts.
Now, the term "vagrant' is compre-
hensive in its meaning, and may be
made to include many different kinds
of people. Anyone who has no visible
means of support and no place to sleep
Gomez under that general classified
ton. Whether he is anxious to steal or
anxious to work is quite immaterial;
if he has no job and no home and no
money, he is vagrant, and his inten-
lions count for little or nothing. A
man of Policeman Flynn'S judgment
would like to discriminate occasion
ally, but, under such an order as had
been given, a conscientious officer has
no chance. So, when he saw the man
ager of a small manufacturing estab-
lishment on his beat holding shabby
looking fellow by the collar, he knew
that the time had come for him to act

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear

can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
