the skin vclvety and fine. Oatmeal,
barley, rice and other farlnaceous sub
stances are often recommended for the
same purpose, either alone or In com.
bination. but bran Is the cheapest and
best OF them all. Tincture OF benzoin
added to the water makes 1t soft and
agreeable. A few drops OF ammonia,
not too much, will soften water used

THE MAN, NOT THE FARM.

The vast difference that is often no
tceable between the general appear.
ance as well as the productiveness Of
farms lying side by side or In the same
neighborhood Is quite likely more due
to difference in the proprietors and the
methods they follow in the conduct OF
their respective farms than to any
original difference In fertility OF the
soil. An intelligent and farsIghted
farmer can bring a naturally poor farm
up to fair state Of productivity, while
negligent and shiftiess one can, with
good deal less effort, bankrupt a nat.
urally fertile one and make It an IN
desirable piece OF property.

MORE SEED.

A good many have experienced great
dimeulty In getting n stand OF alfalfa.
In some cases this seems to have been
partly the result OF an improper prepa.
ration Of the soil or lack OF sufficient
moisture at the time OF termination,
but quite as likely to the fact that In
sumeient seed was sowed. While some
authorities In the northern states rec.
ommend the sowing OF fifteen TO eight
cen pounds per acre, II Is a common
practice in Nebraska and Kansas,
where this legume Is extensively
grown, to SOW from twenty-five TO ti1lr.
