IS very hard 70 determine. The London
bus horse does Is miles a day, and IN
the old days a pair Of coach horses used
to do 20 miles, pulling q coach weighing
one ton. Other horses have made over
50 miles a day, but these were never
worked over twice n week good horse
can trot from 20 to 80 miles for several
days but he cannot keep il up. lie may
be able to make 60 miles in one day, but
he must rest the next. Small horses can
stand more work and recover from It
more easily than large animals, but the
larger ones are much better at pulling a
heavy load.

WILL EXPERIMENT
 WITH BURR GLOVER

Special Agent A. D. McNair of the United States department of agricul- rure spent yesterday in this city to arrange the details of an experiment with burr clover, which will be con- ducted by the agricultural department of the State Normal school. An acre will be used for demonstration pur- poses to show the possibilities of rota- tion of crops with the clover as a cov- CT crop. The ground will be sown this fall with the clover, which will be plowed under next spring, to be planted in cotton Early corn, peas, and late corn will then be planted in successive years, with a winter crop of the clover each year.
 Mr. McNair believes the burr clov- CT has greater possibilities than any other winter cover crop. It stays green all winter, furnishing an admir- able pasture, prevents the land from washing and at the same time fer tilizes the soil, while the clover itself if allowed to mature is a very profit able crop. MT. McNair said that one man who he induced to SOW this clover last fall had realized S75 this year from the sale of about one-half the seed he produced on one acre

ECZEMA LODGES IN THE SKIN
Not Blood Gisease-cured by Oil Of
Wintersreen Compound.

For many years eczema was suppos-
ed to be a blood disease and was
enormously treated as such. but now
the best authorities agree that eczema
is only a skin disease and must be
cured through the skin. The eminent
skin specialist. DR.. D. D. Dennis, first
discovered the eczema germ and his
discovery was quickly taken up in
both Germany and France.
To kill the eczema germ and at the
same time heal the skin, DIR. Dennis
compounded oil of wintergreen, thy
mol, glycerine, etc. The remedy is a
liquid, not mere salve, hence it sinks
right into the pores Of the skin.
Washing with this oil of winter
green compound seems to take
the itch away at once; soon
disappears. The prescription has now
been used so long as to have proven its
absolute merit and we do not hesitate
to express our confidence in D. u. d.
