HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN

II am a man seventy years old. My
hands were very sore and cracked
open on the insides for over a year
with large sores. They would crack
open and bleed, itch, burn and ache
SO that l could not sleep and could do
but little work. They were so bad
that l could not dress myself in the
morning. They would bleed and the
blood dropped Of the floor. l called
on two doctors, but they did me no
good. I could get nothing to do any
good till / got the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. About a year
ago my daughter got a cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box OF Cuticura
Ointment and in one week from the
time | began to use them my hands
were all healed up and they have not
been a mite, sore since. would not
be without the Cuticura Remedies.

WHAT WOULD THEY SAY NOW?
Interesting Ttterances OF Great Men OF
But a Few Years Ago Regarding
the Tar West.
{By f. Il. LAKA.)
(By F., Il, IAKA.)

It is hard for us Of the present day
to realize that there ever was a time
when the size and Importance of the
United States was SO little understood
that grants Of lane were given to in
Gividuals deciding "all the land from
Virginia west" and all the n west
Of the Mississippi river etWeen GER
tain northern and southern bouHda-
ries, for small sums Of mony or in rec
ignition Of some service to the exist
ing government.
And still later, not more than a CEN
tury ago, two Of the most productive
sections OF our great country We're
thought to be entirely worthless.
In referring to the Oregon country
north Of the Columbia river Daniel
Webster wrote: Il believe oregon to
be q poor country, no way important
United States.
On the same subject, Senator Duffy
said on the floor OF the senate that
he would not give a "pinch Of snuff
for the whole country as an agricul-
tural proposition, and with mock
gravity concluded his arrangement
with, Il thank God for having placed
the Rocky Mountains there" AT that
time that mountain range was deem
ed impossible.
At the conclusion of the Mexican
war when New Mexico and California
which tract includes what is now Ari-
IONA, were caded to the United States
as part of the indemnity, Daniel Web
ster referred to them as "a barren
waste-a desert OF plain and noun
tain; a region Of vag n wild
beasts: deserts Of shifting n and
Whirl-winds Of dust, Of cactus and
prairie dogs.
Il have never heard of anything,
and cannot conceive Of anything more
ridiculous in itself, more absurd and
more %affrontive to all sober judg-
ment than the cry that we are getting
indemnity by the acquisition of New
Mexico and California. [ hold that
they are not worth a dollar
And all this pessimism was express
ed by the big men Of the nation but
e few years ago. Wha WOuld these

CARE OF DUCKS IN WINTER.

Supply plenty of dry bedding and
keep the ducks shut in the enclosure
until about eight o'clock in the morn-
ing.
A small pen can be built adjoining
their regular rcOsting quarters, where
they can be fed and Watered Ind kept
unmolested until time to let them out.
It is a good plan to feed early Of
warm bran mash. cooked vegetables
with clover clippings stirred in.
Feed about all they will eat Of this.
AT noon give half as much mash, or
9 small ration Of grain.
At night give q fair feed Of whole
corn. In severe weather give the
corn warn and as much as they will
eat VI quickly.
It is best to feed the breeders bulky
stutf-yegetables, cut fodder and clo-
yer.
They love to saw into cabbages, and
his vegetable is a cheap and excellent
feed for either ducks or chicks.
Meat must be given in some form:
they are more ~ravenous for meat than
are hens.
Cracklings mixed in the morning
mash are good in cold weather, but
lean meat or meatmeal is preferable
as a regular diet.

Mr.. Coolies Work for Profitab BILE Farm
ing in Randolph.

To the Editor: Since the contest
in growing corn has been won by Ran
dolph county, our people, especially
IN the western part of the county, are
becoming interested III the improve
ment and culture of the soil. There
are quite q number Of farmers who in
tend trying improved methods TO see
how much can be made from one or
more acres the coming season. Mr..
S. E. Coble, who has III charge tho
demonstration work for the northern
part of the county. paid this section
a visit last week.
Mr.. Coble. who is a splendid farm
er himself, is very much interested in
this work and is stirring the people on
this subject wherever he goes. L
think good will be accomplished by
his efforts. He does not antagonize
the interest of the towns. but he is
advising the people to move to
the country who seek health, happi-
ness and homes. 1t is very pleasant
indeed to listen to Mr.. Coble as he
pictures wildly the farmer of the near
future driving behind a pair of fine
horses in a rubber tired buggy down
a Macadan1 road, through a country
dotted with beautiful homes, in froIt
Of which will be seen the lovely wives
and daughters walking among the
flower gardens, pictures Of content
ment and happiness. This he says is
W. dix oHtI AZ wv picture, Out IS IL true
prophecy Of is soon coming. 1t
does not require a wise mar to sec
that there is q brighter day already
here for the agricultural classes of
people. / do not air any reasonable
person Will deny the fact that In the
past several years farm products have
been lower in price than other things.
This has had a tendency to DISCOURAGE
rather tina stimulate a greater effort.
But today with prices as they are for
corn, wheat, cotton, meat and yageta-
bles, poultry and all kinds Of stock
there is a greater incentive to better
farming. This will Of itself necessi-
tate better roads and better schools.
SO We can see Mr.. Coolies picture !,
soon to be a realty.
