THOUGHT CHILD WOULD DIE.
Whole Body Covered with Cuban Itch
-cuticura Remedies Cured at Cost
of Se~venty-Five Cents.

my little boy, when only an infant
of three months, caught the Cuban
Itch. Sores broke out from his head
to the bottom of his feet. He would
itch and claw himself and cry all the
time. He could not sleep day or night,
and a light dress is all he could wear.
| called n of our best doctors to
treat him, but he seemed to get worse.
He Suffered so terribly that my hus-
band said he believed he would have
to die. | had almost given up hope
when a lady friend told me to try the
Cuticura Remedies. l used the Cutis
cura Soap and applied the C~uticura
Ointment and he at once fell into a
sleep, and he slept with ease for the
first time since two months. After
three applications the sores began to
dry up, and in just two weeks from the
day ! commenced to use the C~uticura
Remedies my baby was entirely we'll.
The treatment only cost 75c, and l
would have gladly paidrS100 If l could
not have got it cheaper. / feel safe in
saying that the Cuticura Remedies
saved his life. He is now a boy of FIVE
years. Mrs. Zana Miller, Union City,

Drummer Found Something Good

the train stopped to take water and
the conductor neglected to send back
a fagman. A limited express, running
at the rate of ten miles an hour, came
along and bumped the real end of the
first train. The drummer was lifted
from his seat and pitched, head first.
agaipst the seat ahead. His silk hat
was jammed clear down over his ears.
He picked himself up and settled back
In his seat. No bones had been

FERTILITY OF SOIL.
The Problem of Its Maintenance Is an
Important One for Farmers.

The plant food of a soil soluble in
water, and so capable of absorption by
the roots of plants, is never more than
an extremely small fraction of n per
cent at any one time, says D. ]. T.
Willard of Kansas. However, as the
roots absorb the parts in solution, more
dissolve from the soil. This cannot
continue indefinitely, and the processes
by which rocks are made into Soil
must by their continued action on the.
rock particles in the soil continually
renew the available bustances, or ster-
ility will result.
The maintenance of soil fertility
and the restoration of fertility to a
partially exhausted soil are problems
OF the highest importance. Crops can
not be produced without available min
eral and heterogeneous substances in the
soil, and continuous cropping must in
evitably reduce the supply.
Unless means are taken to restore
them 1t is only a question of time
When profitable production must cease.
Nitrogen can be restored to a soil
by the culture of clover, alfalfa, cow
peas, etc. Leguminous plants of any
kind. by cooperation with bacteria
growing on their roots, can acquire
nitrogen from the air, and the r
residues left in and IN the soil will
greatly increase the supply of that
element.
With the loss of mineral substances
the case is different; they can be re-
stored only by the addition of manure
or commercial fertilizers. These cost
care, labor and money, but if all care
possible and a moderate amount Of
labor be expended in saving and ap-
plying barnyard manure, the demand
for money will be reduced to a mini
mum and its expenditure may be post
poned many years.
The nitrogen, phosphorus and DO
tassium contained in the excretions Of
one COW for a year, if bought in the
form of commercial fertilizers, would
cost at least $35 in Kansas. A horse
excretes fertilizer to the value OF $25
per annum, and the excrement of one
hog is worth owe So compared with
commercial fertilizers.
In fact, these farm manures are
worth more than commercial f%ertiliz-
ers containing an equal amount Of nj
phosphorus and potassium, as
organic matter in them is of great
benefit to the soil in the production Of

FARM SCALES
The Satisfaction Which One Farmer
Gets Out Of Their Possession.

A pair of wagon scales on the
farm are like the necessities of life
In the home and family. would
not know how to do without them, de-
clares a writer in Farm and Home.
| never owned a farm without scales
and 1t seems to me the farmer that
a could go to sleep If his barn was
on fire. There is no end to the rea,
sons for scales on the farm. The sat
isfaction they afford is alone worth
ten times their cost.
AT this time l am delivering 20. 900
bushels Of onions to a large storage
buyer. ! weigh the loads as they 20
out and the wagons as they return.
| compare my weights with the buy-
ers'. Although they may weigh me
short 80 to 100 pounds some loads, IL
Is q great satisfaction to know what IL
going on and that it is not a great.
deal worse. The farmer is a back
number that will deliver grain to an
elevator and cattle and hops to a
shipper, not knowing his weights.
! might enter into a long, practi-
cal use for scales on the farm, for
scientific uses in the feed lot, ETC.. but
! do not believe that the farmer who
mas made money enough to buy a
pair Of scales needs details. He only
needs to wake up, install a pair Of
scales on his farm, read good farm
Journals and do business on business
principles.

KEEP UP THE WHEAT LAND.
Fertility of the Soil Must Be Kept Up
at Any Cost.

The fertility of the wheat land must
be kept up at any cost, but we are
certain that in some parts of the west
the fertility Is surely declining. Only
a small per cent. of our farmers have
as yet reversed the process. 1t is easy
enough to keep up the fertility of the
wheat fields If the owner of the wheat
farm is willing to take the informa
ton that has been collected from the
experiences of other men. Wheat land
cannot be kept up in fertility If the
process of wheat raising every year is
followed.
Two things must be done-a rota.
ton must be established and some
fertilizer such as potash and phosphate
must be applied in some quantities
each year. Rotating so as to bring in
a leguminous crop every few years
will help keep up the supply of nitro.
gen and will improve the physical tex
ture of the soil. Potash and phos-
phorus can be applied in small quaint.
ties each year at a small cost per acre
and this must be done If the quality of
the land is to be maintained. Rota-
ton is a good thing, but it can never
bring in potash or phosphorus that
have been taken from the land or
which the land lacks.
With proper handling our wheat
lands can be made to produce the
great crops they did 40 years ago.
In fact, it is possible to make them
produce more than they did in their
old condition, for In addition to put.
ting back the fertilizer we can i'm,
prove them by draining, many of the
wheat fields being in need of this.
But this cannot all be done in a day.
A little should be done each year in
the way of putting in the fertilizers
the crops must have. The benefits of
rotation cannot be gained in a few
years, but the periodical turning under
of sod or the roots of leguminous
plants will be a constant method Of
improving soil conditions.
In the middle west are millions of
acres of land that are kept in wheat
year after year, but which are now
producing ten bushels less per acre
thar they used to produce, says the
Farmers Review. The returns will
be still less in years to come, If steps
are taken to prevent further exhaus.
ton. 1t Is not only the loss of the
fertility that has to be considered.
but the badness Of the physical con.
dition resulting from the loss of fer.
tility. In fertile ground the roots
strike deep and spread out in all d.
rections. These roots rot and leave
the soil in a good condition physically.
But in poor soil the, root systems are
weak and the soil gradually packs
down SO hard that the frosts even do
not go down far. There is no way in
which the farmer can make money
easier than by improving the fertility
OF the land he has in wheat.

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
ilg quality of the goods. This trou.
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied

was to paint the trunk cf the tree
with carbolic acid and let it soak

says the acid will kill such scales as
