"Raising the Hand"

The raising of the hand which re-

Fowls Require salt.

Fowls require salt in their ration in
order TO thrive best, the same as do
all other animals. The mineral ele-
ments in the salt are desired by the
fowls, and their systems crave them.
But only little salt is needed-not
more than handful a week to the av-
erage-sized farm flock Too much may
be more harmful than too little. And
since fowls often do not know VIII AIi
they have had enough of it, we dare
not place the salt beforc them, and
let them eat all they want, as can lie
done with most other farm animals.
SO the best way is TO mix handful
occasionally with the soft food or
mash. This seasons the food and gives
it a palatable taste, as well as proving
a benefit TO the fowls.-Agricultur Il
Epitomist.

superior to the Mule.

The greatest hybrid that the world
has ever known is the mule. This is
cross between the horse and the ass.
The resultant mule was, however, par
rem, and the possibility of developing
more perfect type through selection
did not exist. The mule had to BE-
taken as he was and made the most If.
At that he has borne the brunt OF corn
field labor at home and tugged the ia
TONS cannon into the ever-advancing
frontier. He has surpassed both the
horse and the ass that bred him in
many ways. The zebra is evidently a
creature superior in every way to the
mule, and it is believed. with selection
and scientific breeding, it will take d
place in the world that will tend to re-
tire the latter, and, possibly, the horse,
from the field of action.

value of Humus in Soil.

The value of humus in the soil is
not only that it supplies an element of
plant food, but that it absorbs mois-
says the Rural Californian 1t also
prevents soil erosion and waste. The
most successful farmer is the one who
takes the most pains to utilize every
element OF his farm products that con-
tributes humus to the soil. This is
especially important in localities where
the surface is uneven or broken, and
the earth is not firm. or. in other
words, is easily eroded by rainfall

How Wars Can BE stopped.

Lord Charles Beresford, head of the

Tiny Baby's PitifuI Case.


Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot. all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit. We were unable TO put clothes
on her. At first it seemed TO be few
mattered pimples They would break
the skin and peel off, leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body. leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see so small haby look as she
did Imagine. The doctor was afraid
TO put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
BY using the Cuticura Ointment We
softened the scab and it came off. Tn
der this, where the real matter was.
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath Now the
baby is four months old She is a fine
picture of fat little baby and all is
we'll We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura ONT
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re
solvent. If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer

For Tender Steak.

A round steak may be made tender
by soaking it over night in butter
milk. If there is no time to do this
pound the steak thoroughly and as it
fries add little water and cover it
well TO create steam This makes the
toughest meat tender. Although it is
better to broil steak than to fry it, il
the latter process is used butter gives
a better flavor than lard. A round
steak is nice stuffed with bread dress
ing and baked. 1t must be cooked
slowly and basted often with the liquor.
