IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA.
Whole Body Mass Of Raw, Bleeding,
Torturlng Humor - Hoped Death
Would End Fearful Suffering.
In Despair; Cured by cutlcura.

on my head and kept spreading until

head to foot. looked more like q
piece of raw beef than a human be.
ing. The pain and agony endured
seemed more than could bear. Blood
and pus oozed from the great sore on
my scalp, from under my finger nails,
and nearly all over my body. My
ears were so crusted and swollen I
was afraid they would break off.
Every hair in my head fell out. I
could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making me cry out from the
pain. My family doctor did all he
could, but I got worse and worse. My
condition was awful. I did not think
1 could live, and wanted death to
come and end my frightful sufferings.
I'm this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edies. I said would, but had no hope
Of recovery. But oh, what blessed re-
lief I experienced after applying Cuti-
cura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep had had in weeks. 1t
was as grateful as ice to burning
tongue. 1 would bathe with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. I also took Cuti-
cura ResOlVent for the blood In a
short time the sores stopped running,
the flesh began to heal, and knew ]
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in a
short time was completely cured

eczema to use Cuticura. Mrs. VIM

Practical Ieehouse.

space sufficiently large, that the sides
of the building are kept from becom-
ing warm by the cool current which
passes from the ground up and into
the ice chamber. A 12x1S-inch blind
at each gable permits free circula-
ton of air and is in my estimation
better than cupola as there is more
of draft over the ice. AS is shown
in the cut there are double doors four
feet wide extending from the founda-
tion to the caves. A 4x4-inch scantling
put in the peak for attaching double
pulley, facilitates the handling of the
ice; the man in the wagon sets the
tongs in a cake and another man in
the doorway seizes 1t with his tongs
as it is drawn up; in this way only
three men are necessary at the build
ing, one to unload and two to pack.
Beneath the building a number of
eight-inch tiles are set on end with a
little piece of board over each; on the
dirt floor is six inches of sawdust. The
cakes of ice are set on edge, each tier
being finished and covered with a
layer of sawdust before another is
begun. 1t is better not to have the
cakes too close together, SO that the
sawdust will sift down between. Saw
dust is better than cracked ice to fill
in with, as it does not leave air spaces
and also prevents the cakes from
freezing together so solidly. When fill
ing, loose boards are placed in front
of the doors and about ten or twelve
inches back of them is filled in with
sawdust. Our icehouse is filled from
a pond about mile away. Ice saws
are used, and the cakes cut from 25 to
80 inches square; common wagon
box will hold two tiers, 80 cakes of 49,
inch ice. The capacity of this ice
house is 40 tons, but of course any
size could be built on the same plan
and larger one would keep the ice in
a much better condition.

COUNTRY ROADS.
They Should Be Improved So as to
Leave a Walk Along the Side.

The neglected condition of our roads
and the fact that we are not building
them according to law, greatly assist
the hard roads advocates lin their ar
guments for hard roads, writes an Illi-
nois correspondent Of the Prairie
Farmer.
School children and other footmen
are daily trespassing by going through
the fields because there are no walks
provided. Where the roads are 60
feet wide, no more provision is made
for walk than where they are re-
duced to 40 feet and the whole width
Is used up with the grades and bitches.
We can't get to neighbor when it is
muddy without going through barb
wires or hedges and yet some people
wonder why some Of our youngsters
are so anxious to get to town.
These conditions prohibit women on
foot from using the roads, whereas, If
they were built according to law they
could wheel their baby carriages to
their neighbors' homes with satisfac-
tion, even when the wagon track is
muddy.
If this one condition were remedied,
the fine made sufficient, and enough
wardens provided to protect the walks
from injury it would be a great move
ment toward improving our roads.
think all of the grades, walks and
the boundaries of the roads should be
determined by competent engineers
whose duty it shall be to mark the
same with suitable stones wherever il
is necessary.
The benefit and satisfaction derived
from such improvements would greatly
overbalace the small increase of oul
taxes in the country.
Should our lawmakers bring this
subject before the Legislature they
would certainly be so well pleased witt
the support that they would get from
the farmers that they would enact 6
law that would put the above provis
| ions into effect.

MONEY MADE IN LIVE STOCK
IN CENTRAL CANADA.

w. ]. Henderson, visiting Seattle,
writes the Canadian Government
Agent at Spokane, Wash, and says:
II have neighbors in Central Canada

past 20 years, and are now getting
from the same land 20 to 80 bushels of
wheat per acre, 40 to go bushels of

all around had finished putting in

as it was late not to put in much
wheat, so put in five acres of wheat
and ten acres oats, one-half acre pota-
toes and vegetables. All kinds Of veg

tomatoes, onions, carrots, peas, beans,
cabbage. My wheat yielded about 20
bushels per acre, for which 1 got rs

horses and sheep, as prices are high
for such, and it costs nothing to raise

their work horses out for the winter,
and they come in fresh and fat in the
spring. Cattle live out seven or eight
months. They NOW the prairie grass

A NOTABLE VICTORY.
Farmers of Wisconsin Help Secure
Law for Building of Good Roads.

A notable victory was won in Wis
,consin, largely by farmers. at the elec-
ton in November. 1t was the adop-
ton of the amendment to the state
constitution authorizing state aid for
the building of roads. The state con-
stitution forbade the Legislature to ap-
propriate any money for internal i'm
provements, but this state-aid amend
ment went through by a majority of
10000. A great change was wrought
in the sentiment of the farmers, says
the Hoard's Dairyman, as soon as they
came to see the following facts:
1. That up to the present time
farm property has had to bear all the
expense of making country roads.
2. That it is nothing more than
fair that city, village and all other
property in the state should bear a
just share of the expense of making
better roads.
3. That we never will have good
roads as long as we continue in our
present state.
The farmers saw the point and rose
to the occasion.

BARLEY AND OATS.
Experiment of Growing Mixed Crop by
Ontario Experiment Station.

Barley and oats grown as mixed
crop at the Ontario experiment sta
ton, gave in 1907 the highest yield of
grain, 1879 pounds per acre, where
four pecks of each were used per acre.
The mixture Of Manshury barley and
Daubeney oats has been found to ripen
well together and to produce a lrge
yield of grain. The results with crop
mixtures Of IL and eight kinds of
grain, in combinations made up of uni
form weights Of seed, or of quantities
in the same proportion as when the
crops are grown separately, showed
the supremacy of Manshury six rowed
barley when used in this way. In the
average of six years work and the re-
suits of "a tests this variety repre-.
sented 17.6 per cent in the mixture.

MORE ABOUT ALFALFA.

The value of alfalfa is seen in some
such facts as the following:
An acre in hay brings $25 to $35 a
year according to yield, for feeding
purposes.
There is always good market for
alfalfa hay, which yields more than
double that of timothy.
Hogs, cows and sheep are fond of al
falfa grazing and pastures and they
thrive greatly on it,
Land that will grow alfalfa luxuri-
antly is worth double that of land that
will grow only timothy hay.
-Four times cutting year of alfalfa

a Good Argument.

One of the best arguments In favor
of pure-bred dairy stock is the fact
that practically every inquirer wants
registered bulls or registered cows.
No one is advertising for grades or the
product of scrub bulls. The demand
for animals of good dairy breeding
cannot be satisfied. The breeding of
dairy stock offers most excellent op-
portunity for the young man who de.
sires to become breeder One beauty
of breeding dairy stock is that the
sale OF butter-fat alone pays expenses
and still yields nice profit, and the
