ECZEMA ALL OVER Him.

No Nights Rest for IA Year and
Limit of His Endurance Seemed
Near-Owes Recovery to Cuticura.
my son Clyde was almost com
pletely covered with eczema. Physi-
clans treated him for nearly a year
without helping him any. His head,
face and neck were covered with large
scabs which he would rub until they
fell off. Then blood and matter would
u out and that would be worse.
Friends coming to see him said that If
he got well he would be disfgured for
life. When it seemed as if he could
possibly stand it no longer, I used
some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Resolvent. That
was the first night for nearly a year
tina he slept. In the morning there
was a great change for the better. In
about six weeks he was perfectly well.

HANDLING OF DRAFT MARES.

In accordance with a request I will
state my method Of handling draft,
mares and their colts. First I feed the
mares a ration of oats. bran and some
corn or timothy hay and work them
moderately right up to the time of
foaling. When the time for them to
foal comes 1 stay with them nights
and I think the best way If possible is
to have two double stalls adjoining. and
have them well leaned and disinfected
by spraying with creolin. I also scat
ter lime over floor and whitewash
the rest. I keep the mare tied in one
stall until after she has the colt. and
as soon as the colt is born 1 disinfect
the naval and cut 1t about two inches
long and tie it. If possible I never let
the navel touch the hoor until disin-
fected. For hat I use cerolin In wa
ter for a wash ana then use boracic
acid and prepared chalk three or four
times a day until the navel is dried
up. AS soon as possible after foaling
I take the colt into another stall. which
Is well bedded and dry, and when I
see h mare is strong enough to get
up all right. I put her in with the colt

The Turned Up Mustaehe.

4ne German emperor, William H., Is
generally regarded as the inventor OF
the turned UP mustache. This is true
only as far as introducing 1T as a FASH
ion. 1t was invented in the court of
Philip ", about 1925. That monarch
was the first to wear his mustache
turned upward, says the Detroit Free
Press. From the Spanish court the
fashion spread all over Europe. Charles
l., of England, Philips brotherinlaw,
and many members OF the Austrian
Hapsburgs adopted 1t. It came to Bel
GUM and was introduced into Ger
many by the Spanish soldiers during
the 80 years war. 1t was also found
in Sweden as well as in France UNI
der Louis XIII. Under Louis XIV,
the beard went gut of fashion. and
during the time Of Rocco the elegant
world knew only clean shaven faces
until the French revolution brought the
mustache again into use. But nowhere,
except in its Spanish home, did the
mustache rise SO extravagantly as with
the German emperor and his imitators.

PROPER CARE Oh BROOD soMs

CARE OF BROOD SOWS
Sows by nature are not cannibals
and when they a their pigs some
good reason will be found-generaily
neglect on the part of the owner. H the
system Of the brood SOW Is natural IA
her bowels not constipated, h maj be
relied upon to be in good humor n
to properly feed her young. On the
other hand. Il she Is fretful and fever
tsh h Is apt to eat her pigs when.
born. When brood sows are allowed to
run on pasture and are properly fed
they very rarely eat their offspring.
j.. S. woodward. a New York arnler
says:
IF a SOW is compelled to live In the
barn yard, sleep in the straw stack and
fed only a little corn. she will be sure
to be feyerish, constipated and have
little or no milk and 10 to i will eat
her pigs If she doesn't lie on and
smother them before old enough, to
suck. We give our brood sows a good,
warm, dry pen in the basement, where
no frost is ever seen. We dent care
to have 1t overlarge-a pen Is feet
square is ample for six or eight soWs
up to within two weeks Of narrowing,
after which each SOW should be put
into a separate pen six or eight feet
square and have only q nal amount
of bedding and that should be OF cllaff
or cut straw.
THE best food for a brood SOW is
coarse wheat middlings or reground
bran, or bran and middlings may be
mixed half and half. which should be
made INTO a stiff mass with skim milk
II possible: II not with the house Stops
or water.
Besides this she should have all the
clover or alfalfa nay she will eat; she
will eat a lot Of it. Besides all these
she should have at least four pounds of
mangels or 6 beets to every 100
pounds OF live weight every day. II
these be given whole she will get ample
exercise in eating them. II available
poor apples are a fine feed In place OF
mangels.
1--WE one winter kept 10 sows in a
pen and fed nine bushels OF apples to
the lot each day in addition to 20
pounds of coarse middling and ali the
clover hay they wanted, and they came
through In apple pie" order and
raised over 100 pigs.
I'm addition to the above the sows
should have access to a box filled with
n mixture of six parts charcoal, two
parts wood ashes, with two pounds of
salt and a half pound Of copperas to
each bushel.
THE brood SOW should be fed just
enough to be kept thrifty and strong,
but not to make her fat, and the
amount will depend upon the size OF
the animal. I need not say she should
have all the water she wants at all
times. It is also very desirable that
the sows be handled so as to be very
tame and quiet. II sows are SO treated
| good filters Of fine pigs will be assured
n the owner will be made happy"

4 POOR HORSE.

The horse that is always poor, re-
CARELESS Of 6 and treatment usually
has poor digestion, says the Agrfcultur-
ist. The animal that cannot digest it's
lay on fat. If the horse retains
poor When you think it ought to be in
good flesh, find out whether or not it
is digesting It's God we'll. This can
often be told by whole grain or large
particles Of feed passing in the drop
pings.
Often the horse, even among young
ones, has poor teeth. In this condition
often it Is not able to eat enough and
finds 1t difficult to eat any Of certain
kinds of feeds. Watch the horse eat.
The one with a good set OF teeth goes
right after the feed when it Is hungry.
The n with poor teeth only minces
along and changes from grain to hay
and from hay to grain In an uncertain
way.
II the horse has poor teeth OF weak
digestive organs consult a veterinar-
ian and remedy the evil. One bad
tooth may cause all the trouble; or 1t
may be that all the teeth need smooth
ing or other treatment. All horses do
not have perfect teeth, neither do cows,
sheep and hogs.
Vary the feeds Of q horse that will
not get fat. Give it one kind at one
feed and another kind at another time.
Try mixed feeds and soft feeds. Change
to different kinds Of hay. You may
find by observation and experiments
Just what ais the animal and what
feeds 1t likes n can digest. A yari-
ETY. and some green feeds will usually
make a horse pick up. A little oil meal
Is good for winter and early spring.
According to the ST. Louis Agricul-
turist the question u.s.. How many
are fixed to bring out their
calves next spring weighing more than
they when they went into winter quar-
ters? Probably all OF the calf fat can
not be retained, but the loss in wean-
ing time should be made as light as
possible and after that a gain should
be registered. 1t is simply throwing
money away to carry calves through
h winter n to have them come out
In the spring Weighing many pounds
less than they did the fall before, if
indeed they come through" at all. 1t
is just a question Of feed and shelter.
Where alfalfa and corn are as plen-
ttful as they are IN many parts Of the
west, there isn't any reason why calves
should not be brought through the
winter with a good substantial gain In
weight.
Animals should never be allowed to
run down in condition Just because
the owner hasn't feed enough to keep
the creatures rightly. All stockmen
know that there is no time in an anil
mails life when it Is losing it's owner
money SO fast as when it is losing flesh.
The reverse is also true that the ami
NAL which is gaining is rarely losing
money for its owner.
II you are not fxed to carry through
the calves SO that a gain in weight will
be made this winter, better sell them
now, before they begin to fall off, and
buy again when grass comes In the
spring. It will be the cheapest policy
for you and also the most satisfactory
from he standpoint of the calf.

IMPoRTAMcE on sEEp CORN.

BY taking OF seed corn at this time OF
year. many more farmers will appreciate
certain points and profit by them than
later. says the st. Louis Agriculturist. No
doubt this all important question is well
understood among most circles of farmers
but not all OF them are aware Of what
vast Importance 1t is, and how care In
the matter will improve their crops. There
Is such q thing as getting 100 per cent
corn; that Is getting corn which will give
a terminating test of 100 per cent. Not
more h one man in 10 perhaps attains
this result. More important than cult
walton, preparation of the soil and care
afterwards is the practice Of gathering
the seed early and drying 1t out thorough
~ before freezing weather sets in. The
corn grower should take time to go
through the corn fields just after the corn
gets well denied and only those ears
which meet the approval should be Sc
lected.
out Is or 20 bushels Of very perfect corn
and hang it UP In one day. In some To-
caiities this task may be performed about
the first of September, but in the north
ern half Of the corn belt 1t may run up
to October L.
There is a knack in properly hanging
the seed corn to attain the very best re-
suits. The corn should be hung in such
a manner that one ear does not touch an
other ear, and arrange things so there
will be plenty Of ventilation between the
ears. A good method is to stretch a dozen
trands Of wire across the corn crib, some
high and some low. and hang the corn
to these.
To sum the matter up in advance OF the
seed making season We will say that one
man in one day will find enough good
corn for the average quarter section to
plant the crop the next year, and If he
will take our advice and select it at the
ftroo uya h a ya OF tod md harr f~ - - to-,
dry place, such as we have described, we
will give hin our word that there will be
no need next spring Of going to the
trouble to test even a single ear Of that
corn. 1t will grow. not 80 or 80 per cent,
but 100 per cent, because the same condi-
tions that make one ear vital in it's every
kernel will contribute to the same end
In the case of every kernel on every ear.
