States Cotton Crop.

Regardless of the fact thae ina Az. kansas river is above flood stage and thousands Of acres of cotton from Fort Smith to the mouth of the river have been inundated, the majority of plant CTS in the state have nothing 10 com plain about II is estimated that not more than ten Der cent Of the cotton lands of the state are subject 10 over. flow, and Of this percentage all is not under water.
 The upland cotton is in fine shape. While rains have not been extensive in the state within the last ten days, there has been enough rainfall 10 keep the staple from suffering. At this par tieular time of the year planters say that rain is not needed except in oeca- sional showers. Later in the season, when the cotton is in bloom, heavier rains are more beneficial to the crop.
 The situation in the flooded districts Is now very acute The cotton under water has probably been destroyed, and the season is getting so far ad- vanced that replanting will be only an experiment.

Then he was so bad that his face and head were nothing but one sore and his ears looked as If they were going to fall off, so we tried another doctor for four months, the baby never getting any better. His hand and legs had big sores on them and the poor little fellow suffered so terribly that he could not sleep. After he had suffered six months we tried set of the Cuticura Remedies and the first treatment let him sleep and rest well; in one week the sores were gone and in two months he had clear face. Now he is two years and has never had eczema again. Mrs. Louis beck, R. F. D. 3, San Antonio, Tex, Apr. b, 1907.'

kanc aroo as a Food.

Twenty or 50 years ago tho back country squatters, in order to destroy kangaroos. used to dig huge pits at the corners of their paddocks. running yards of calico along their wire fences and then drive the kangaroos into the pits. clubbing and shooting them. In those days kangaroo skins were of no value; now that they are almost ex. tinct. there is a great demand for ttem. The flesh of young kangaroo Is by no means to be despisea. and kangaroo tail soup Is a delicaey now hardly to be obtained.
