BRby's Scalp All Crusted Over.

Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not 10 her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was a solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was so severe that
she could not rest, day or night. We
had about given up all hopes when we
read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, 4
box of Cuticura Ointment and n bot
tie of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then
she began to improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came Off he1
head and new hair began to grow. In
a very short time she was well. She Is

The uIc'S Ear.

Evolutionists explain satisfactorily
that the reason that the dogs ears lOp
is because for centuries the animal
has been dOmesticated by man and
has lain within the protecting infiu-
ence of his hut and fire. The dogs
ears are said to have originally stood
upright. as do the VOLTS to-day. but
gradually as the necessity for keen
hearing became less imperative the
dogs ears began to lop.
But how about the mule? 1t is the
duty of somebody to explain why the
mules ears lave no Topped down.
there is no need for him to have stiff
ears. The donkey, the horse and their
progeny the mule, have been under
mans protecting influence for centu-
ries and ages. The ass is the beast
of burden in the Bible. His ears were
stiff then. and they are stiff now. 1t
would seem It was about time for them
to begin to lop a !ittle.-!ndiana

One man who keeps a small flock of
chickens has a unique arrangement in
the form of a combination poultry.
house and woOdshed. The building IS
something like 20 feet long by about
80 feet wide. 1t is made of dressed
| pine boards on a foundation of nalur-
al stone laid in cement. In one end
is a ,oom for wood and kindling, and
in the other end a place for the chick
ems. A loose board partition separ-
ates the two rooms, with a small open
ing in the wall near the bottom large
enough for the chickens to go from
ne room to the other. This opening
is fitted with a small sliding door to
be closed at night in the wood room.
Such a combination house as this
for a small flock of chickens and for
keeping fire wood n kindling dry
and in the shelter is a good building
to be located comparatively near the
dwelling. The extra space in the
wood room with the loose partition af-
fords plenty Of air for the fowls with
out having the doors and windows
| open on cold nights. Nest boxes are
in both the poultry room and the
wood room. During the day the hens
can find exercise in the wood room,
and the high nest boxes are conven-
lent both for the lens and the poultry
man. The wood room serves both as
a place for storing food and as a
scratching shed for the poultry, and
with a little care in piling the wood
the hens will not soil it, and they will
derive much benefit in scratching in
the chips and sawdust.
When the ~incubatilg season opens
and the laying hens can be out most
of the time the nests in the wood
room are used for setting hens, with
all openings closed to exclude laying
stock and other intruderD. -

You may easily join concrete tile te
make perfect joints in the following
Take the tile that is to join
the main drain and with a cold chisel
cut the end SO that it will fit over the
side of the drain tile.
This is easily done by lightly cut
ting some with a chisel; now place
his onto the main tile at the point
it is to be placed, and With 2 pencil
mark around the outside Of the same.
Then with a chisel, says Farm World,
lightly cut into the main tile along
this mark about half way.
When cut entirely through in four
or five places on this mark and lightly
tapped with a hammer on the inside
of the main tile, the piece thus cut
will break out of the main evenly; the
edges may be smoothed and the tile
inserted in the same, previously crat-
ing the edges with cement mortar, and
hen by wiping the joint with cement
mortar outside same, o can make
the joint perfectly tight.
Elbow joints are made in the same
manner except that ends Of three tiles
are cut and Joined together to make
a segment Of the circle, and with the
joints sealed with cement mortar a
perfect joint may be used.
The tile should be made and allowed
to harden for at least thirty to sixty
days before placing it in the ground.
At a period of two days they may be
exposed to the weather without injury,
and when thirty days old may be
taken to the point where they are to
be laid, and no amount of freezing
will injure them in the least, which
cannot be said of the ordinary clay

Alfalfa meal as a feeding stuff is
having the consideration of the expert,
ment stations. 1t is only within the
past few years that alfalfa hay, to any
extent. has been ground into meal, as
a partial substitute for grain for
horses, cattle, sheep. hogs and poul,
try. Poultrymen, however, say that
fowls do not take to alfalfa hay or
meal as readily as they do to clover,
and many, especially the large con-
Germs. have cut alfalfa and gone back
to clover.
Alfalfa can be purchased on the mar
ket just as it is ground into a meal,
but more often it is mixed with mo-
lasses. corr chop. wheat screenings,
chaff. weed seeds or other waste
products.
1t is claimed for alfalfa meal that
it is fed with less waste than hay, and
possesses a higher percentage of
protein than ordinary hay-about Is
per cent, as compared with about 6
per cent in Timothy hay. But a pound
of alfalfa hay does not contain any
more nutriment when ground into
meal than it did before, and for home
consumption it is doubtful If the ad.
vantagcs are enough to pay for the
grinding.

THE UNION FAILED
Stage Hands in Topeka Failed
of Purpose.
Tried to Get "Starland" Con-
tingent to Walk Out.

It became known today that in the
matinee performance of Miss Nobody
From Starland' an effort was made by
an organization of Topeka stage hands
to cripple the Grand theater produc-
ton. Within the last year a pro-
visional union was established here by
a number of stage hands opposed to
the policy of the management of the
Crawford houses.
Travelling with the "Starland" aggre-
cation there are several stage hands in
the employ of the company. 1t is said
that in an effort to cripple the show
locally the union appealed to these men
to walk out. Not having orders from
their superiOrs in Chicago the travel
ing stage hands refused to do so.
While the TOpekans who compose the
union are not now in the employ of
the Crawford's most of them have been
previously. It is said that the Craw-
ford's would employ part of them but
that having affiliated with the pro-
visional organization this is impossi-
Bile.
No members of the Topeka union of
stage hands are in the employ of the
Crawford's in any of their three
houses here.
