CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczemn
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Roth Cured nv Cuficura

Last year, after having my little girl
treated by a very prominent physician
for an obstinate case of eczema, re-
sorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and
was SO well pleased with the almost in
Simultaneous relief afforded that we dis
carded 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 COW
cred with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely well, and
there has been no recurrence of the
trouble.
I'm July of this year a little boy In
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and In twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were n mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, and in about three
weeks his hands and arms healed up.

Life and Diseases of Grap..

The author Of a Texas bulletin pre-
sents data covering period of nine
teen years, secured for the most part
from his records of an eight-acre grape
vineyard planted in 1867 near Den
ison, Tex. The soil In this vineyard Is
a light sandy soil from 6 inches to 3
feet deep, with red and yellow clay
subsoll. The land has had but one
application Of fertilizer, consisting of
heavy coat of cotton-seed meal some
twelve years ago. Data have also been
collected from vineyards grown on diff
ferent soils. including black waxy'
and lime soils.
In table l the relative longevity,
health and vigor of twenty-six species
of grapes grown in the vineyard at
DenisOn are noted. The species usual
ly found native to lime soils are dis
tinguished from those native to sandy
soils Table gives the names of each
variety cultivated, the specific blood.
the number of vines of each planted
in 1887. and the number and percent-
age alive in 1905, together with notes
on the color, economic value and use
of the fruits, and condition of the
vines in 1905. The varieties are noted
which have been found suitable for
''black waxy" soils with clay subsoils.
and for ''black waxy" and adobe
soils underlaid with white rock as
near as two feet from the surface.
The author presents data on extern
sive personal observations and reports
secured from different expermenters
in Texas on the adaptability of differ
ent varieties Of grapes for the llmy
rolls in Texas. 1t is stated that all
species and varieties grow well In
sandy soils where carbonate of lime
does not exceed % per cent Of the soil.
Some species will flourish In soils
which contain as high as 40 to 60 per
cent Of lime.
Varieties much subject to rot and nil
dew are not recommended for plant
ing in the humid forest region of East
Texas unless spraying with sulphate or
carbonate of copper solution is thor
oughy attended to- Grapes are not
considered to succeed well in Doggy or
seepy soils on account of late fronts
and fungus diseased

On the British Coast the Creatures
Are Kept for "Mflking."
1t is not generally known that cutie
fish are cultivated on some farms in
order to be 'milked." These cuttlefish
farms are located on parts of the Brit
ish coast and the cuttlefish are kept in
tanks or ponds to be 'mIlked' of their
ink.
The pond or tank is connected with
the sea by a pipe and a thousand or
more cuttlefsh are kept in single one
They form a most curious sight as they
move about, trailing their long arms
and staring out of their bullying eyes.
They are guarded by screens, which
prevent them from being scared. For
if they are suddenly frightened, says
Popular Science Siftings, they will
squirt their milk" into the water and
it would. therefore, be lost. This fluid,
or milk, is very valuable. and each cut
tie will yield about 10 soverelgns' worth
year. 1t is secreted in bag which
can be opened and closed at will, the
cutie ejecting the fluid to darken the
water SO that it may escape unseen
when attacked. The best cuttiefish are
procured in China, where for some rea-
son or other they produce the best
quality of milk"
When the farmer considers Ii oppor-
tune to milk the cuttles, he proceeds by
opening the sluices of the pond and
gently agitating the water. The cuttles
then swim around the pond and as soon
as one passes through the sluice is clos
ed. The cutie passes down a small
channel into a basin or metal recepta-
Gle and as soon as it is securely there
the water is drained off. 1t Is then
frightened and at once squirts the fluid
from the bag. When it is exhausted it
is lifted out, the milk is collected and
the basin is prepared for another.

MANY Opportunities.
The Demand for Technically Quail
fed Young Men

In view of the general impression
that the professions are greatly over
crowded, it is surprising to learn that
some Of the leading railroads of the
country are finding much difficulty in
securing properly qualified young
men to fill subordinate positions on
the engineering staff. One road in
particular has recently gone so far
as to make the fact known to the
public press, and to invite communi-
cation from young men who have
passed through technical schools, and
possess the necessary qualifications
to enable them to commence work
as rodmen and ehainmen, or do the
simpler instrumental work connect
ed with the construction and main
tenance Of railroads. It was further
stated that the remuneration would
be sufficient to enable these men to
maintain themselves at once in de-
eency and comfort, and that for
those who showed aptitude and ap-
plication there was a reasonable ex-
pectation Of early promotion. Fur
ther evidence of the excellent open
ing afforded by the present industrial
activity is found in the fact that, IN
one Of tie leading technical colleges
- the country, every member Of the
graduating class OF 1906 had secured
an appointment some months before
the close of the college year The
demand for teehnically qualified men
in railroad work has questionably
been stimulated by the recognition
Of the fact that the increase in the
capacity Of weight and motive power
and rolling stock, and the demand
for more intelligent supervision due
TO the Introduction Of electric trac-
1ion on steam roads, is rendering it
desirable that not only the engineer
ing department, but also those which
have to do with the maintenance and
operation of the road should be run
by men with sufficient technical
knowledge, with sufficient training in
natural science, to enable them to
exercise more intelligent oversight
of their departments than is possible

knowledge is bounded by the limits

Cotton.
Cotton is a special crop adapted to
certain localities in the south. Il
has limitation in the markets be-
cause of the demand for cotton in the
mills. The growers state that fair
crop of about 100000 bales, could
be handled at good prices. But all in
excess of that amount would assist in
lowering the value for the reason
that the manufacturer would combine
and hold for the cotton that had to
be marketed at low prices. Because
Of such conditions the cotton associa-
ton sounds a warning note to prevent
the increase in acreage planted to
that crop. If the acreage planted is
enough to give an additional output
of two or thee million pounds in ex-
cess, then there is a gave danger for
all growers.
The same story prevails in all sec
>tions where special crops are grown.
It applies to the hop industry and all
other cultivated crops having limit
to the quality consumed. There is a
lesson then for every tiller Of the soil
to learn so that ne can repeat it to
his sons and grandsons. That is, di-
versifed farming is the safest and
best plan for handling the soil. Ev-
cry farm has special fields adapted to
various crops. A side hill will give
better returns from a peach orchard
than anything that can be cultivated.

HORACE MARVIN DEAD.
Body Discovered Eight Miles From
His Home.

Dover, Del, May The body Of
little Horace Marvin, who disappeared
from the farm Of his father at Kits
Hammock, near here. March 4, was
found this afternoon in marsh in a
fair state Of reservation, The spot
where the body was found is about a
half mile east Of the farm house to-
ward the Delaware river. Kits Ham
mock is between seven and eight
miles from here and is without COM
rnunication with any place From
information brought by horsemen it
is learned that the clothes on the
child were the same as he wore the
day he disappeared. The body was
found lying face downward.
DR.. Marvin at the time the body
was found was not ready to say
whether the body Of his child was
placed where found or whether the
child wandered in the marsh and
lost his way. The marsh was frozen
over the day the boy disappeared.
There is a theory that the boy was
murdered, and his body placed il
the marsh, as the long grass where
the body was found was burned and
cleared four weeks ago. 1t is said
the body lay under pile of grass and
that the clothing showed no evidence
Of having been touched by FIRE
The body was found by Ollie Pleas
anton, neighbor, who was cunning
for ducks on the marsh today. He
had the body borne to the house and
covered with a sheet. Pleasanton has
figured in the case since Horace was
lost, having reported that be had
seen the two strange men who ap-
peared there inquiring about the top
ography of the country three days
before the disappearance.
