LITTLE BABY
CURED OF ECZEMA
Parents Applied to Hospitals and
Doctors but Could Get No Re-
ief-GrewWorse Under Doctors
Prescription - Friends Recon-
mended Cuticura = Result
A SPEEDY AND
PERMANENT CURE

eve express to you herewith our best
thanks for the cure of our baby from
eczema. The eczema appeared when
the child was three months old. We
applied to several doctors and hospitals,
each of which gave us something differ
ent every time, but nothing brought re-
lief. A physician recommended salve
which we threw into the fire after two
days use as the eczema became worse
so that the baby scratched his face. At
last, one of our friends recommended to
us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment. A few days afterwards improve
ment could be noted. Since then we
have used nothing but Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment, and now the
baby is six months old and is quite cured.
All that we used was one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and two boxes Cuticura ONT
ment, costing in all SIPS. Even the
poorest man can pay that instead of
throwing it into the doctors lap. l
myself only make twelve dollars week
as a teamster, but l recommend the
Cuticura Remedies strongly to all moth
ers whose children suffer from such dis
eases. They are cheap, harmless and
good. C. F. Kara and Wife, 343 East

lJtiI;zinu Skim Milk.

There are many fruit farms on
which the flock of fowls is becoming
every year a large factor. The by
products Of these are utilized to some
extent for the poultry, but not so
much as the byproducts of the dairy
farm. There is no better way of util-
Izing skim milk than by feeding to
poultry, suggests Kansas Farmer.
When this skim milk is allowed to
sour and is made into curd for the
fowls 1t is still more extensively
available. There is no byprOduct that
need go to waste when you have plen-
ty of chickens around. They are the
scavengers Of the farm and make lots
of waste material into good fresh
eggs.

Kansas City is tasting the proof Of
the pudding, says a correspondent of
the st. Louis Globe Democrat, writing
on the parks of the city. The 1882

boulevard system has been returned

ues The park board selects a street

the widening and original construction
Is assessed against the adjacent prop

Is provided by the board. 1t has been
the rule that ground fronting on a
street transformed into a boulevard
has Immediately doubled and some
times has trebled in value. The most
undesirable localities have been wiped
out. The little frame houses and ten
ements having frontage on the streets
taken into the charming Paseo scheme
are giving place to fine churches and
large apartment houses.
The Paseo is a wonderland in tree
and shrub growth. No two blocks are
treated alike. On one section is the
Pergola. The foliage screens create
vistas and hooks of charming surprise.
Three rows of trees Kessler plants on
either side of his boulevards. AS they
grow he takes out every other tree
The trees removed are transplanted to
do duty on new sections of the sys-

A mixture of material and moral in

Corn Should Not Be Too Green-cut-

ting and Putting 1t Up.
Many people make the mistake OF
cutting corn too green for silage. Al
this stage there is larger percentage
of water, and the silage when taken
out has q large amount of acid, less
starch and>sugar and hence is less nu-
tritious. Corn planted in drills with
stalks eight to ten inches apart will
mature good proportion of ears.
Harvesting should not begin until
the ears are passing the roasting stage
and begin to glaze Unless the season
is exceptionally dry the stalks and
leaves will remain green, but too ma
ture OF dry corn is more liable to mold.
This may he found in spots around the
sides or more generally over the silo
wherever the air has gained access to
cause the fungous growth. This condi-
ton may be improved by tramping the
material carefully in the silo, adding
water by sprinkling with hose, or II
this is not available direct stream Of
water into the blower or elevator suf-
6cient to saturate the cut fodder. This
moisture assists the material to settle
and acts as seal to keep out the air.
There should be labor and teams
enough to keep the cutter running
steadily. Nothing is gained by cutting
large amount Of corn beforehand,
hauling and piling near the machine
to be handled over again. Aim to har-
vest at the least expense n ton. This
will be accomplished as follows: If
hand cutting is practiced, cut and hand
directly to the man loading, not throw
ing on the ground In bundles, which
will require an extra handling. Let
each load come to the table Of the ma
chine in turn, handing the corn direct
ly to the feeder. If the corn is long
and heavy an extra man Is needed on
the table to assist.
Power should be ample and in pro-
portion to the size of the cutter. The
blower is replacing the elevator ma
chine, economizing space and largely
doing away with the stopping Of an
entire crew to repair the elevator. If
the corn is heavy and the stalk large
