FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA.

IT had eczema nearly fifteen years.
The affected parts were my hands,
arms and legs. They we're the worst
in the winter time, and were always
itchy, and I could not keep from
scratching them. had to keep both
hands bandaged all the time, and at
night would have to scratch though
the bandages as the itching was SO
severe, and at times would have to
tear everything of my hands to
scratch the skin. I could not rest or
sleep. I had several physicians treat
me but they could not give me a
permanent cure nor even could they
stop the itching. After using the
Cuticura Soap, one box Of Cuticura
Ointment and two bottles Of Cuticura
Resolvent for about six days the
itching had ceased, and now the sores
have disappeared, and I never felt
better In my life than ! do now.

BY having board slant onto the edge

ping sacks on the board, the solution
which drips from them will all run
back into the barrel. BY having two

barrel and the other on the board

ming another furrow alongside the
first one and throwing the dirt over
them.
II the soil in which one Is obliged
to plant his potatoes Is such that 1t
runs together or packs badly during
the winter, nothing may be gained by
fall plowing. With soil of this kind,
to get an early start in the spring
one should not apply the manure In
the fall or during the winter and
leave 1t upon the surface, as 1t holds
frost and moisture and prevents early
plowing. Neither should the draw
ing out of the manure be left until
spring, as few days delay then may
make the difference between paying
crop and one that does not.
All things considered, a piece of
land that had q good supply Of hui

more profitable for me to use good.
sized potatoes for seed rather than
small ones. When the former are
used, cut as nearly as possible to
pieces having two eyes each, when
small tubers are used I cut off the
seed end.
When late potatoes are desired, 1t
is hardly possible to get the land in
too good condition. 1t should be
plowed and narrowed and disked till
1t is so fine that each piece of seed
will lie in a bed Of mellow earth and
have fine covering of the same.
The object in raising early potatoes
Is to get tubers, as early as possible,
big enough to pass In the market; In
late potatoes, good yield of large,
smooth tubers, is desired and to get
these the ground must be In the best
shape possible when planted.
In selecting the land, in deciding
upon the variety and whether to raise

Land for Goat Raising.

In general way, all land in the
United States except very low,
swampy tracts. are suitable for goat
raising. The feed that goats prefer
is browse with a small admixture OF
weeds and grass. and therefore those
tracts burdened with brushwood and
briers are especially desirable. The
fact makes It clear that In the colder
parts OF the country 1t would be neces-
sary to provide some feed in winter.
as nothing but the soft twigs remain
at that time as browse. Goats will
eat grass II required to do so, and
will thrive upon 1t, but grass land is
regarded as being 80 much more
profitable for hay production or as pas
ture for cattle and sheep that the plac-
ing of goats upon 1t is not to be con-
sidered.--G. f. Thompson, United
States Department Of Agriculture.
