BABY's wATERY ECZEMA

Etched and Scratched Until Blood
Ran-$5O Spent on Useless Treat
ments-Diseaxe Seemed IncurabIc
Cured by Cuticura for $3.50.
when my little boy was two and
half months old he broke out on both
cheeks with eczema. 1t was the itchy,
watery kind and we had to keep his
little hands wrapped up all the time,
and if he would happen to get them
uncovered he would claw his face till
the blood Streamed down on his cloth
ing. We called in a physician at once,
but he gave an ointment which was so
severe that my babe would scream
when it was put on. We changed doc
tors and medicines until we had spent
fifty dollars or more and baby was get
ting worse. I was so worn out watch
ing and caring for him night and, day
that 1 almost felt sure the disease was
incurable. But finally reading of the
good results of the Cuticura Remedies,
determined to try them. / can truth
fully say 1 was more than surprised,
for L bought only a dollar and a ;half's
worth Of the Cuticura Remedies (Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills), and
they did more good than all my doc
tors medicines had tried, and in fact
entirely cured him. His face is per-
fectly clear of the least spot or scar
of anything. Mrs. w. M. Comerer,

A Line of Talk.

Two telephone girls were talking over
the wire one afternoon. The subject OF
the conversation was lawn party,
which was to take place the next day:
Roth were discussing what they should
wear, and after five minutes had come
to no decision.
In the midst Of this important CONVEX
sation a masculine voice interrupted, ask
ing humbly what number he had. The
lack of reply did not squelch the inquir-
or. for he asked again for the number.
One of the girls became indignant and
scornfully asked:
"What line do you think you are on,
anyhow?
1WeII,'' said the man, 81 am not sure,
but Judging from what l have heard /
should say / was on a clothesline. y

For Filling Sacks.
"NN~~N~N~

For Filling Sacks.
In filing sacks with grain, -four, ce-
ment, ETC., it has been found impossible
for one man to do the work. A second
laborer is required to hold open the
mouth of the bag while the other does
the filling. The necessity Of the ex-
ira laborer is eliminated in the sack
filing apparatus shown here, the in
vention Of a Washington man. This
apparatus was designed primarily to
provide device by which bags could
be quickly and economically filled by
one man. A hopper is provided, to
which pulley is attached at one end.
At the front are the frames for sup
porting the bags after the later have
been fastened in position. The grain
or other article to be placed in the

bags is shoveled into the hopper, from
which 1t drops by gravity into the bags.
AS the grain descends the bags are
shaken at regular intervals by an ar
rangement attached to the pulley. The
bags are in this way automatically
lifted off the ground a trife at each
turn of the pulley, allowing the grain
to settle, filling the bags to their ut
most capacity. This does away with
the ordinary laborious method formerly
employed by hand. 1t is claimed that
the bags can be filed in one-fourth the
time heretofore required and by one
man.

Industry That Has Not Suffered.

"While times have affected nearly all
manufacturing enterprises, the corset
business has not suffered" said a sales
man of feminine wearing apparel. '"The
company | represent has been making
corsets for the last fifty-five years and
never had two months like January and
February of this year.
Buyers are corset mad. The demand
is keeping the machines working day
and night. The change in dresses and
suits has resulted in this: The corset
that would do two or three years ago
will not do now, and more high priced
corsets are being kansas City

HeIpful Hints.

Oil up the work harness.
The neglected colt or calf will prove
profitless.
Cattle will never do well In the same
pasture as sheep.
Wood charcoal should always be
kept in the hog pen.
How are the farm implements? Any
of them need repairs?
To improve live stock, requires in
telligence and thought.
1t is good plan to have the horses
and cows clean up their managers after
each feed.
There is such thing as overlooking.
Feed stock all the food they will as
simulate, but not more.
Don't have a lot Of manure lying
in the yards all summer 1t will lose
Just about half Of it's value by fall.
1t is better to feed the COWS fodder
and hay after milking, as it keeps
the dust down. Feed the grain before
milking.
Don't plant poor, weak seed corn
next spring. 1t is time and money
thrown away There is plenty of good,
strong seed to be had.
Farmers must read in order to keep
up with the times. There has been as
great an evolution in agriculture as in
any other line Of business.
Do you follow crop rotation on your
farm? It's the only way to properly
manage a farm for best results In pro-
ducing big crops and maintaining the
fertility.
The best feed for making muscle is
oats. They are not heating nor very
fattening. The young calves should be
given oats in order to give them mus
Gle and make them plump.

Pioneer DAYS in Missouri.

In 1851 there was in Huntsville a man
who pulled teeth for Is cents, and
photogl apher who made daguerreotypes
at $1.50 each. The first was called

They moved in the highest circles, as
being the representatives Of the sciences
and arts. With DEER birds and all man
ner of game in the woods and fine fish
in the streams, so cheap that the poorest
larders were stocked with it, the grocers
did big business in mackerel, herring
and sardines. The latter, were real
dainties, because the better food was so
plentiful the pioneers got tired of it.

Throat Troubles Weaken the system.
A serious illness is often brought on
by a neglected sore throat.
All throat troubles invariably weak
en- the system and should not be al
lowed to go unchecked.
A gargle made with twelve drops of
Sloan's Eminent in half glass of
water will break up a sore throat.
Sloan's Eminent is an excellent rem
edy for tonsilitis, Group, asthma and
bronchitis. Applied freely to the out
side Of the throat and chest it draws
out the Inflammation, reduces the swell
ing and relieves any soreness. Twelve
drops of this Liniment in half a glass
of water makes a splendid antiseptic
gargle
Mr.. Albert W. Price of Fredonia,
Kans., writes 1--WE have used Sloan's
Liniment in the family for about q
year, and find it an excellent relief for
colds and hay fever attacks. Two
drops of the Liniment in teaspoon
full Of water will stop coughing and

Feeding Sheep.

It is most convenient for the ma
jority Of sheep owners who have not
large barns in which to care for their
sheep to attempt to feed them in
troughs arranged about the feed lots !;
but this method has its disadvantages
for during night of heavy storm the
troughs will have become filled with
sleet and snow. A reversible feed
trough that can be easily turned over,
presenting a dry, clean trough, will
greatly obviate this discomfort in feed
ing out of doors.

Foundered Horses.

A. S. Alexander, veterinary surgeon,
explodes the old idea that horse can
become "chest-foundered." He says
that such cases are those suffering
from chronic founder (laminitis),
which affects the feet and not the chest.
In Outstanding cases Of foot lameness
the chest muscles may waste away in
sympathy, and that fact has led to
the "chest founder" idea. Such horse
should be shod with wide-webbed, fat
bar shoes, put on over dressing of tar
and oakum, and thick leather sole.
Then clip off the hair and blister the
hoof heads (coronets) of forefeet with
a mixture of one dram Of biniodide Of
mercury and two ounces of cerate Of
cantharides rubbed in for fifteen min
utes. Wash blister off in forty-eight
hours, then apply lard daily. Blister
every three or four weeks.

Big Lobster from Maine Coast.

There is on exhibition in window in
Saco the largest lobster that has been
landed in those parts for years, If not
ever. The lobster measures 30 inches in
length and his body proper is 70 inches
long. Before boiling he weighed 9A
pounds, and boiled weighs z pounds.
The lobster was caught by John e.
Lewis, Jr., off Straton's island in Saco
bay. in one of his traps. The big fellow
was the only occupant of the trap. and
none of the Holsters in the other traps
near by was of greater than average
size.-Kennebec Journal.

Wash Eggs for Market.

It would in a sense be better to
wash eggs sent to market than to send
them in dirty condition. But washed
eggs have no keeping qualities. The
water appears to dissolve the gela-
tinous substance which seals the pores
Of the shell, and air is thus admitted
and soon starts decomposition. The
better way to treat dirty eggs is to
take wooden rag only slightly mois-
tened with water and gently rub off
the dirt.

When fowls crow at night, which Is
the fact when the number quartered is
greater than the capacity Of the house,
they sweat. This sweating causes the
feathers to rot at the base, giving them
the very appearance Of molting. This
explains why so many fiocks. look
ragged In early summer.
1t is a noted fact that the majority
of cases where roup has become cpl
demic among fowls the latter were
crowded in tightly-built houses when
the weather is very cold and allowing
the houses to remain closed all the next
day. This creates q moisture which
generates dampness, and the whole
house feels very much like vault. At
night the house is more or less filled
with dampness emanating from the
fowls breath, but If, on the following
morning, the windows are opened wide,
this dampness will be dispelled. This
Is great point in favor Of the scratch
ing shed plan of house.

be grown IN the CeuIIoI OIdteS.
Transplanting.
As the time approaches for removing
young plants from the fats in the
house or from the hotbed outside, an
extra amount Of airing must be given
TO harden them. Plants which have
started indoors or under glass are
more or less tender and will not be
able to thrive under the rigor Of early
spring planting without treatment.
They must become hardened, or accli-
mated, to the new conditions.
At least a week before transplanting
remove the sash entirely from the bot
bed during the day and allow abund-
ance Of ventilation at night, except
when heavy frost threatens. This will
give the plants practically an outside
temperature for the greater part of the
day and they will grow stronger and
harder thereby. At this time also less
watering should be given to check
growth and make the plants more re-
sistant to the cold. All plants can en-
dure lower degree of temperature I'M
der dry than under moist conditions.
Most seedlings are transplanted di-
rect from the fiat or hotbed to the open
garden when they have attained
height Of from four to six inches or
more. When facilities are at hand
better way Is to first transplant them
to a cold frame, which is the same as
hotbed without the heat. In the cold
frames they become accustomed to low
er temperature and are still protected
from frost Of nights and on cold days.
A still better way Is to transplant the
young plants at the appearance Of
their second or third set Of true leaves
to two inch flower pots.
Disking Alfalfa.
The work Of disking alfalfa requires
a little bit of skill. The disk must be
set just so 1t will cut the ground suf-
fciently and do as little damage as
possible. A little experience will en-
able any intelligent man to do the very
best work in the field. There are times
and conditions when the spring tooth
harrow may do all right, but gener-
ally nothing but good sharp disk with
enough big horses in front and COM
petent man on the seat can do the
work. / use only the smoothing har-
row in the early spring, but after each
moving 1 use disk or spring tooth,
whichever I think best, always finish
ing with a spike tooth, SO as to leave
the field in the very best possible con-
dition for the growing crop. 1t is
real pleasure to see the alfalfa start
out anew and grow about one inch
day on an average-Denver Field and

COTTON SHIPPERS WIN.

Little Rock.-According to ad-
vices received from the general
freight offices of the Iron Mountain
at st. Louis, that road has surren-
dered in the fight being waged with
with the cotton shippers in Arkan-
sas concerning the railroads right
to select the compress to which cot
ton in transit is to be delivered. No
tees have been sent to all {SQn
Mountain agents in the interior of
the state to advise shippers that
hereafter they will be permitted to
select the compress at which they
desire their cotton to be handled,
instructions to this effect to be
shown in the bills of lading at the
time of issuance. The railroad still
reserves the right to deliver the
cotton to any compress, should no
particular cotton compress be speci-
fed in the bills of lading. This con-
troversy is several years old.

DEATH OF TREES FEARED.

Fort Smith.-Fruit growers in
this locality are very much exercis-
ed over the danger which threatens
the fruit trees by the San Jose scale,
which, it is claimed, is attacking
every tree of all kinds in this city
and vicinity. One grower mas been
assured by the director of the ex-
pertinent station at Fayetteville that
the specimen sent for examination
is the genuine San Jose scale, and
that unless something is done to ex-
terminate the pest there will be
great destruction Of fruit and shade
trees within the next two years.
There is some talk of memorial
ling the legislature to make an
appropriation to pay experts in
treating affected trees. In one or
two instances owners of ornamental
trees have cut down those affected
with the scale to prevent it spread
ing to the unaffected trees.
