BABY WASTED TO SKELETON

My little son, when about year and half old, began to have sores come out on his face. I had a physi- clan treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come out on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about year and half of suffering he grew so bad that I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk.
 My aunt advised me to try Cuti- cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I sent to a drug store and got cake of Cuticura Soap and box of the Oint- ment and followed directions At the end of two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. I can sincerely say that only for Cuticura my child would have died. I used only one cake of Cuticura Soap and about three boxes of Ointment.
 q am a nurse and my profession brings me into many different fam flies and it is always a pleasure for me to tell my story and recommend Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. Egbert Shel- don, Litchfield, Conn.,. Oct. 23, 1909."

 Her.

Bringhurst, Ind.-"For three years" writes Mrs. Jennie Cassady of Bring hurst, Ind, q suffered from womanly weakness.

Quick Separation of Cream.

Cream kept ever so cdean, if left to stand warm, will sour or otherwise spoil very quickly. One of the most frequent mistakes is to not separate and cool the cream quickly after milk ing
 Milk should be separated as quickly as possible after milking, and the cream at once put in a tank of cold water and cooled to the temperature Of the water, tested by thermometer, before it is left to stand. The water should be changed about three times day-morning, noon and night. It is absolutely certain that if the future da1ryman expects to do a profitable business he must pursue a method in some manner similar to the one de- scribed and deliver his cream absolute iy sweet to the purchaser.

Fruiting Strawberries Two Years

Our soil is almost too heavy to carry the strawberry over, and I have never tried it to any extent until last season, as the work, l believed, would eat up any possible profit; but with the ex- perience gained in handling last years bed in such very dry season I would not hesitate to clean up a good bed, even on heavy soil On light soils it is much cheaper to carry over, and I have seen beds carried over two, three and even four years with practically as good returns as for the first crop. Last summer l saw bed fruiting for the third season that yielded between B. 900 and 5000 quarts to the acre, and many of them were fancy Had it not been for the drouth I believe this bed would have reached 5000 quarts, with much larger per cent. of fancy fruit

AGAINST BOIL WEEVIL
Pair of Injurious Little Insects Lays Enough Eggs to Reproduce 134,-
 100000 Individuals.

The boil weevil is undoubtedly the most serious menace the cotton plant CT has ever faced. Until it arrived there was apparently nothing to pre- vent a steady increase in cotton prod ucts answering to enIarging demands of the world as it was generally held that within the area now devoted to cotton raising there could be produced double the present crop. This bright outlook faded before the weevil, al though the earlier apprehensions of a possible abandonment of cotton raising as result of it's ravages have subsided
 In 1895 the weevil was not known in this country outside of few coun- ties on the southern Texas coast. By 1903 it had extended northward over much of eastern Texas and in Octo- Der of that year it established isolated colonies in Louisiana. By 1906 the enemy had entered nearly all of the cotton counties of Texas, had over spread Louisiana and was present in parts of Oklahoma and Arkansas, and it has since invaded Mississippi
 Some idea of the damage wrought may be obtained from a comparison of yields in ten counties that were free from the weevil in 1899, but bad ly infested in 1902. The yield in the latter year was only 47 per cent. as great as in the former.
 The pest is hard to exterminate on account of it's habits and rapidity of growth and multiplication. As it's name implies, the boil weevil passes nearly all of it's life in the fruit of the plant and cannot be reached with poison. From egg to adult stage re quires but 14 days, and a single pair will lay enough eggs in a season to reproduce 134,000000 individuals.
 Much good was expected from the introduction of the Guatemalan ant, in its own country the natural enemy of the weevil, but this importation suc- cumbed to changed climatic condi- tions. A native ant, however, known as Solenopsis geminata, and which travels up and down the cotton stalk. has taken issue with the weevil. first fighting him as an interloper and later hunting him out as an article of diet. According to the bureau of en- tomology, Solenopsis geminata is re- sponsible for the destruction of more than half the weevils that fall before their natural enemies. Good results have followed the introduction of new cultural methods, such as burning the cotton stalk in the fall as soon as possible after the last of the crop has been gathered, and by inducing speedy maturity of the following sea sons crop through early planting and the use of fertilizers

JUST A FUTILE MITE DEEF"
Circumstantial Evidence That Emma SaIter Needed Some Artificial
 Aid to Hearing.

You know how Emma Salter used to say she was a mite deef, but when she was real deef she'd buy her some kind of contrivance sos to make 1t easy for her friends" said Mrs. Jen- nings to her daughter; and the young woman nodded, forbearing to remind her mother that the span of her recol- lections was not precisely the duplicate of the old lady's.
 She's never bought one,, and she never will, now" said Mrs. Jennings, who had an exhausted air.
 q hollered at her all the way out to the Light, and all the way back; and while we were visiting Mis- Gorham the sunset gun sounded and made great noise.

Importation of Leeches.

Leeches are enumerated by the bu- reau of statistics under it's general head of animals imported, the total value of the imports of this species in 1908 having been $5,341; in 1907, $6,922; in 1906, $4,494 in 1905, $3,S62; in 1904, $3,5S9; in 1903, $3,240, and in 1902, $2,412-the commerce in leeches being thus of a growing character. The total number of leeehes i'm ported in the United States in the decade ending with 1908, is about $40, 900. Leeches are imported free of duty. Snails were at one time emu merated as an article of importation, the records from 1894 to 1898 showing snails imported to the extent of about $5,000, but the snail trade so dwin- dled, showing only $24 of imports in 1908, that the bureau discontinued it's statements of this article.

Pigeons are naturally very cleanly, and when allowed their liberty, select only the best food and the varieties that please them, but when they are confined, we must select these things for them if we wish to sue ceed.

That the steel car is of great value as a protection to passengers in the event of collision was demonstrated in a recent clash of two trains in the Hudson tunnel, New York city. There was no such telescoping as would probably have occurred with wooden cars, and the injuries were merely such as resulted from the pas sengers being thrown down by the shock of the collision.
