Ministry Accuses Peary.

Copenhagen, Oct.-A Greenland
clergyman named Ludwigs, who is
member of the Cape York Mission,
and is acquainted with both Doctor
Cook and Commander Peary, has
opened a campaign against the latter,
repeating some old allegations as to
his i'll treatment of the Eskimos.
Among other charges, he alleges
that Commander Peary once deserted
band of women and children on the
ice without food, because they hinder
ed the rapid advance of his expedi-
ton.
Captain C. E. Borchgrevink, the
antarctic explorer, who wintered in
the southern polar region in 1900 and
is about to undertake another expedi-
ton there, has expressed his opposi-
ton to the proposed submission Of,
Doctor Cooks records to the UniverL
sity of Copenhagen and to the Com
mittee of the American Geographical
Society.
In the course Of an interview, Cap
tain Borchgrevink declares that this

WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA.
They Clog the Pores---Only a
Liquid Can Reach the Inner
Skin.

Since the old-fashioned theory of
curing eczema through the blood has
been given up by scientists, many
different salves have been tried for
skin diseases. But it has been found
that these salves only clog the pores
and can not penetrate to the inner
skin below the epidermis where the
eczema germs are lodged.
Thistle quality of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous
success of the only standard liquid
eczema cure, oil of wintergreen as
compounded in D. D. d. Prescription.
After ten years of cure after cure,
the worlds leading skin specialists
have accepted this as the true eczema
cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to
recommend D. D. D. Prescription at
$1.00 bottle, but for the benefit of
those who have never tried the pre-
scription, we arranged with the D.
D. d, Laboratories of Chicago for a
special large trial bottle at Is cents
on a special offer now. This first
bottle ought to convince every suf-
ferer, and, at any rate, it will surely
take away the itch at once.

WATER FOR THE BEES.

Give the bees plenty of water They
need great deal. and will fly a long
distance to get 1t.
I II there is no running stream or
lake of pure water near it is well to
place a pail of fresh water near the
apiary every day.
; Bees use water to dilute the heavy,
thick honey left over from winter to
make it suitable for the young larvae,
and also to make the cell wax pliable.
Bees should be protected from the
wind on the north and west by
close-set hedge or high fence.
All weeds should be kept down in
front of the hives. Now plot six
feet wide and then cut the weeds and
grass close to the ground with d hoe
An hour once week spent on the
care of the bees will bring larger re-
turns for the effort than any other
labor on the farm.
A newspaper man of Chicago who
lives few miles out In the country
last year sold 1925 worth of honey to
three big hotels. He says he did not
spend more than an hour week look

able. The hotels and hospitals in the
large cities always want squads.
Geese live almost entirely on grass
and pay nearly as we'll as hogs.
Fowls have nostrils, but no noses,
and do not possess the sense of smell.
Provide dark secluded nests for the
hens to lay their eggs in.
The hen carries her teeth in her
gizzard, therefore feed plenty of grit.
Eggs for Matching should be kept
where the temperature is even and
not near fire or in damp cellar.
Save the earliest and best pullets
for winter layers. If one or two are
not SO thrifty as the rest. get rid of
them.
If your yards are without grass, air
Stacked lime scattered about the
houses and yards frequently will keep
them disinfected and purified.
If you have been bothered with
gape-worms scatter lime thickly about
the yard and this will help to drive
them out.
In feeding scraps be sure they are
not spoiled, as the fowls are liable
to become affected with ptomaine poi

ing boiled, can be chopped up and
fed to chickens.
A good way to pack eggs for carry
ing to market is to simply place them
on end in oats. This does not injure
the oats and they can afterwards be
used for feed.
Count your focks as you feed. A
missing one may be found and rescued
from some trouble if it is looked for at
once.
If you have no range for the poul-
try you must give them green stun all
