ThuHtps in Pigs.

Don't kill those little chubby fat pigs
because they have the 'thumps," says
a writer in Farm and Fireside. Quit
kitchen refuse, bran and anything but
so much corn. Give them coal to eat
whenever they want it. One man
killed three of his pigs because ne did
not know what was wrong with them.
He said they had fits when they went
10 drink their slop. He thought they
were going mad, so he knocked them
in the head. With a little care they
could have been saved.

FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA.
Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep
Hands, Arms and Legs Affected
Cuticura Cured in SIX DAYS

Il had eczema nearly fifteen years.
The affected parts were my hands,
arms and legs. They were the worst
in the winter time. and were always
itchy. and | could not keep from
scratching them. l had to keep both
hands bandaged all the time, and at
night l would have to scratch through
the banIageS, as the itching was so
severe. and at times | would have to
tear everything off my hands to
scratch the skin. l could not rest or
sleep. l had several physicians treat
ME. but they could not give me a
permanent cure, nor even could they
stop the itching. After using the Cuti
cura Soap, one box of Cuticura ONT
ment and two bottles of Cuticura Re
solvent for about six days the itching
had ceased. and now the sores have
disappeared. and l never felt better in
my life than l do now. Edward Wor-

Farmers and Poultry Fnucfera

The farmer has a real grievance
against the poultry fancier. in that he
has done all of his crossing and in
breeding of fathers, daughters, uncles
and aunts without any regard to prac-
teal utility, says Farming, whether
the hens from which he has been breed
ing We're producing 60 eggs year or
200 made no difference. His whole aim
has been to breed out a fowl fight
feather or two, or to create a better
comb, or eyes of a better tint at a
sacrifice of everything else. The re
suit is that when q farmer goes into
the market to buy thoroughbreds with
his money in his pocket ready and will
ing to pay for the best stock. he not
only often pays for qualities he does
not need, but actually pays a premium
for something that has been obtained
at sacrifice of the very qualities
which he does need. There are q few
men, however, raising thoroughbred
stock that is bred to lay" or to meet
certain market demands, and those are
the men that should be parrOnized.

Stacking Wheat.

Years ago it was common custom
to stack the wheat as soon as it was
we'll cured in the shock. but gradually
this custom was abandoned until in
many parts of the country 1t was
rare sight to see a stack.
OF recent years a reaction seems TO
be slowly taking place and stacking is
again coming into fashion, according to
a writer In American Agriculturist.
The reason for this is not in doubt
1t IS the bitter and costly experiences
that have come home to farmers
through leaving their grain In tn
shock until the machine came around.
OF course. when everybody stacked and
the thrashing season occupied six
weeks or more, majority of the crops
were necessarily left standing in the
shock for weeks, exposed to storms
and winds.
Now, of course while it is a fact that
rainy seasons in July are uncommon,
they are Of sufficiently regular occllr-
renee to make the damage they inflict
far outweigh the cost of annually
stacking or storing the grain.
Stacking can be carried on every
moment of the day that the wheat is
dry enough to handle. If the stack is
uncompleted at night or when a shower
comes up it can be covered with tar
paulin. With his grain once safely in
the stack the farmer is independent OF
the weather and the machine boss and
can go about his other work serenely
conscious that he has done his duty in
safeguarding his principal cash crop.

that grass beats all the drugs in crea-
