Girl Had Running Sores from Ecze-
ma-Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.
Last year. after having my little
girl treated by Il very prominent ply
Sician for an obstinate case of &c
Zema, | resorted to the Cuticura Rem
edieS, and WAS so we'll pleased with
the almost instantaneous relief afford
cd that we discarded the physicians
prescription and relied entirely on the
Cuticura Soap. Cuticura Ointment and
Cuticura Pills. When we commenced
with the Cuticura Remedies her feet
and limbs were covered with running
sores. In about six weeks we had her
completely well. and there has been no
recurrence of the trouble.
In July of this year little boy
in our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were
a mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies. washing
his hands and arms with the Cuticura
Soap. and amounting them with the
Cuticura Ointment and then gave him
the Cutcura Resolvent. In about three
weeks his hands and arms healed up.
So we have lots of cause for feeling
grateful for the Cuticura Remedies. We
find that the Cuticura Remedies are q
valuable household standby, living as
we do twelve miles from doctor Mrs.

The simplest remedy is to clip the
hair, as lice will not stay on a clipped
horse. Tobacco water made by boiling
some strong tobacco in water is effect
ual, but is somewhat poisonous if used
too freely or made too strong. One
pound of tobacco to four gallons of
water is about the proper proportion,
but, as tobacco varies considerably in
strength, this may not be quite strong
enough. Coal oil is too hard on the
skin to use undiluted. but made into
an emulsion by mixing with strong
soapsuds is very good. In places where
fish oil can be obtained this is a good
remedy, but makes the skin greasy

The Mother Sow

The principal test Of whether the SOW
Is good mixer or not is the condition
of her pigs, and her condition While
sucking them. If they do we'll and she
eats literally, keeps up good health
and digestion, and at the same time
gets u little thin while nursing them,
it is pretty good evidence that she is
8 good mixer, and will do to keep as
long as her usefulness lasts. But look
out for the SOW that fattens between
narrowing and weaving time. Her pigs
either die or become runts, for she
is not making good use of her feed that
q good SOW should.

Grazing Hogs.

Cowpeas without grain have so far
given better results, it is stated, than
any Of the other crops tested at the
Mississippi station In 1908 the COW
peas were grown on thin hill land and
an acre produced $50 pounds Of pork.
In 1901 the crop was grown on good
valley land and produced 1888 pounds
of pork per acre. The pigs were turn
ed on the pasturage when the COW
peas were ripe and were fed no grain
in addition TO the pasturage.
Alfalfa without grain has been
found TO be little more than a main
tenance ration for hogs The pigs
used in the test, which covered two
years. ranged from three to twenty
four months in age.

A NEW METAL.
MomeI a Substitute for Nickel and Not

A new metal called momel, which is
expected to cause something Of a stir

at the works of the Canadian Copper
company at Sudbury, Ont, says the
American Metal Worker
1t consists of a compound Of copper,
nickel, iron and one or two other min

sess AL its other essential qualities, but
it is not claimed that it would serve the
