How TO Dry Wet Eurs.

Few furs are spoiled by slight damp
ness, but none will be pretty or even
serviceable after being thoroughly sat
urated with water unless properly
dried, for much moisture stiffens the
skin and causes it to crack Chinchil-
la is usually quickly ruined if soaked
with rain, while some other skins will
be uninjured if hung in dry, but not
hot room and shaken every two or
three hours If a wet fur garment is
fastened to the wall or door, etc. SO
the grain of the skin is down, permit
ting the moisture to run off, the result
when dry will be most satisfactory
When the first heavy wet is gone, it
Is well to use a light riding whip to
beat the fur slightly, thus Fastening
the drying as well as preventing the
hair from mating. If the fur is a soft
one, such as chinchilla or sealskin, it
should be rubbed with a velvet hat
brush when quite dry. Hard furs,
such as mink and lynx, require stiff
bristles, lynx always being stroked the
way of the grain.

How to Clean White Gloves.

There is no excuse for not wearing
white gloves in the morning, because
to keep them clean is SO little trouble
and absolutely no expense. In the aft
ern0on or evening the gloves should
be put to soak overnight in water that
is only warm, but very soapy. Any
good white laundry soap serves the
purpose. In cases where the gloves are
extremely dirty soap may be rubbed
on them directly, but this sometimes
stiffens the leather. After lying in the
water until the next day the gloves
should be put into a fresh soapy BATH
and squeezed, not rubbed, under Wa
ter. The soaking will have loosened
the dirt, and this one bath should be
sufficiently cleansing Ii it is not, put
the gloves through another soapy wa
ter and then rinse in warm, not hot
water, always squeezing and never rub
bing. When the last yestige of CRIME
Is removed, spread out the gloves on
q soft towel, pulling them into shape.
Every hour or SO afterWard they should
be taken down and rubbed between the
hands In this lies the secret of their
drying soft.

How to Wash Ribbon.

The most satisfactory way to wash
ribbon is to put it in a basin Of warm
water and rub it we'll with white soap,
then wash as you would anything else
While wet iron it on the right side
and when dry rub it as if washing It
until all of the stiffness has left Il,
then iron out the wrinkles. Washed

How to Mend Worn shoe iriros

Take a piece of velvet skirt binding
just long enough to fit inside the heel
section, cover the wrong side with a

This keeps a shoe from slipping up
and down and saves the stockings
from wearing out.

Rats.

II the poultry house is in such
condition that rats may run around
in it or under the floor if 1t has a
wooden floor, the farmer might as
well give up raising chickens in that
building. Rats are as bad as any dis
ease the fowls can have because they
are so cunning in their work and Of
ten are impossible to exterminate.
At the time the house is built, fut-
ure trouble with rats can be avoided
by putting one-inch-mesh wire net
ting under the floor, or burying it in
the earth If that constitutes the floor
OF the house. Cement floors are very
certain to keep out all kinds OF var
mits, says the Agricultural Epitomist.
and their use is often advisable for
that reason If no other
If you are bothered with rats in
an old poultry house that has a
wooden floor. there is scarcely any
way out of the difficulty unless the
construction of the floor is changed.
If the floor is an earth one. remove
three or four inches oflthe top crust
(which will be good for the sanitary
effects anyway and before refilling
with fresh soil or gravel cover with
fine mesh wire netting being careful
to see that 1t fits up tight at the wall
of the house.

Canker Among the Hogs.

There is some complaint of canker
by hog growers. and as the Okla
homa Station has tested the follow
ing remedy for it and found it valu-
able, we give it here from the sta
ton bulletin;
This is a parasitic disease and is
contagious, spreading rapidly among
pigs. The cause of the disease is a
small parasite similar in-some re-
speets to that of mango, but is much
more difficult TO treat successfully.
The disease first shows by con-
traction or wrinkling of the skin OF
the nose or face. This is often ac-
companied by slight swelling. The
pig rubs It's nose sniffies, and shows
in various ways that the diseased
spots irritate and burn. Gradually
these diseased spots break out as
small sores, occasionally sloughine
out to form ulcers of considerable
size. These sores or ulcers may oc-
cur on any part OF the head and occa-
sionally they Will extend over the
sides and under part Of the body.
Since the disease is contagious
and spreads easily. all pigs showing
any signs of the trouble should be
separated from the healthy ones. The
following preparation should be APP
piled to the diseased spots: A mix
ture of earbolic acid and lard in the
proportion of one OF acid to eight
Of lard may be applied to the dis
eased spots before sloughing occurs.
For open sores or slongbs use iodine
one part and vaseline six parts APP
ply this ointment once every two or
three days. A tobacco solution, to-
bacco one part and water twenty
parts, may be made by sleeping tho
tobacco for ten to twenty hours in
warm water This may be applied
to the ulcers instead of the iodine
and vaseline. The disease is gener-
ally stubborn to treat and several
applications of any of the above rene
dies may be required to affect a cure.

Robbing the Mississippi

A curious result Of scientific study Of
the Blue Ridge Mountain region Of
North Carolina and Virginia Is the show
ing that the Atlantic is slowly gaining
some Of the waters that have heretofore
flowed toward the Mississippi.
This arises from the fact that the
Blue Ridge, instead Of being crest with
strong slopes on each side, is an escarp-
ment separating a mountainous upland
on the northwest from a lower mountain
Gus land on the southeast, and the high
level head waters of the streams that
flow toward tho Mississippi are continu-
ally losing length by the retreat Of the
escarpment through the retrogressive
erosion Of the low-levcl head waters Of
the Administering streams
Fiom a practical point Of view, Of
course. the change is very slow But by
such changes many Of the earih's fea.

Gentleness pays with the flock Of
poultry the same as with the dairy
herd or any other kind Of live stock.
A mistake many farmers make is
this: Every time the fowls get into
mischief they are theoretically
shooed, dubbed or pelted with stones
or other missiles. This will certainly
drive the fowls away from the seat Of
trouble, but it will do more than that
1T will drive the profit out Of them
Don't make your fowls act toward
you as though you were a scarecrow.
Make them feel that when you come
around there is a protector among
them, not something that will scare
or harm them.-Epitomist.

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

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
pitfalls 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
