Points For a Profitable Cow.

The following are the essential
points in good dairy COW. as stated
by practical man:
A continuous milking COW will al
most always have large jaw, In
dicative OF good feeding qualities; a
long slim eve neck, accompanied by
a thin sharp wither. AS you pass
down her back you will find the
double chine; her ribs will spring
from her back, so that they form
wedge, viewed from the front, on
both sides.
Next, you will find high hip bones
the higher the better-if you can
hang your hat on them all the bet
ter. Her thighs will be fiat, and she
will have a large paunch, the more
the better. What is the value of the
last indication? The greatest bulk
of food is composed of roughage. The
COW cannot make something out of
nothing; to produce large flow, she
must be a big eater. II she and her
feeders, and have had the structural
form here described they will be big
producers. In addition, the COW,
must be loose jointed, and she must
have wedge shape, viewed on both
sides, as we'll as from the top and
under lines. Such a cow, so built,
cannot put the feed on her back, but
will utilize it to put it in the pail

ECZEMA SEEMED INCURABLE
Body was Raw-Discharged from
Hospitals as HoPeless-Cuticura
Remedies Cured Him.

"From the age of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Ovens life was
made intolerable by eczema in its worst
form. In spite of treatments the disease
gradually spread until nearly every part of
his body was quite raw. He used to tear
himself dreadfully in his sleep and the
agony he went through is quite beyond
words. The regimental doctor pronounced
the case hopeless. We had him in hos
pitals four times and he was pronounced
one of the worst cases ever admitted.
From each he was discharged as incurable.
We kept trying remedy after remedy, but
had gotten almost past hoping for cure.
Six months ago we purchased a set OF
Cuticura Remedies. The result was truly
marvellous and to-day he is perfectly cured.

FARM AND HOME.
Rustloss steel.

Industry was greatly advanced
when inventors learned how to utilize
the iron ores which contain phospho-
rus. Left in the iron or steel this
phosphorus made brittle metal. The
simple plan OF using lime with the
melted iron ore made many of these
ores available, as the lime made a
chemical combination with the phos-
phorus and thus removed 1t. This
gave pure iron and made a combina-
ton Of lime and phosphoric acid,
which, In basic Stag gives an excel
lent fertilizer. Now we are told of a
new process for preventing rust on
steel or iron. The plan is to treat
the metal with form of phosphorus
which prevents or retards oxidizing
If this be true we shall take the phos-
phorus out of the ore and then put a
part of it back into the steel. But
let us not be too sure about this. A
rustless steel is greatly to be desired,
but false story about 1t might make
a fortune for a fakir. = Rural New
Yorker.

Photographs as Aids in Dentistry.
Dentists patients who have molars
out under chloroform complain after
ward of having heard strange and hor-
rible noises during the anaesthetic
sleep. A practitioner mere mas be-
thought himself Of remedy for these
unpleasant effects. He first of all re-
moved his operating room to the back
of the house, where no sounds reached
from the street, and found that his pa
tients,- after the tooth pulling awoke
if not from refreshing, at least from
a peaceful sleep. What they took to
be alarm gongs and falling avalanches
when under chloroform in the room In
the front Of the house were only the
rumbling of carts and ringing Of
tram bells magni6ed during anaesthetic
sleep. Now the dentist has devised a
still greater improvement. While he
pulls teeth a photograph in the
next room sings the jewel song from
Faust" Lohengrin's "Abschied" or the
last drawing room ballad. The patti
ents' sleep is lulled by sweet music
When they awake they not only have
been relieved of annoying molars, but
carry melodious memories with them,
and go away humming tune.
