When my boy was six years old, ne
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. 1t
started in small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until it very nearly covered the back
part Of his leg to the knee.
Finally l got Cuticura Soap. Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pill- and
gave them according to directions. L
used them in the morning and that
evening, before | put my boy to bed,

ment even in those few hours was sur
prising, the Inflammation seemed to
be so much less ! used two boxes Of
Cuticura Ointment, the same of the
Pills and the Soap and my boy was
cured. My son is now in his sew
enteenth year and he has never had
return of the eczema.

had eczema on its face and limbs and

FAMOUS PAINTINGS.
Three Are Presented to a New York
School by Dublin Women


Visitors to Young's art galleries in Kim
ball hail. New York, have noticed three
beautiful paintings, two by Alfred Gray
and the other by GregOr Gray. They are
to be sold and the proceeds will be given
the Ephpheta School for the Deaf at
300 North Fortieth avenue. Miss Duffy,
daughter of a Dublin physician, who in
herited the paintings, has offered them to
the school as a Christmas gift. Miss
Duffy formerly lived in Chicago.
Alfred and Gregor Gray are members
of the Royal Hlbernfan academy of Dub
lin. Alfred is probably the most dis
tinguished painter of the Dublin school
and makes a specially of landscapes and
cattle. Gregor Gray excels in the de-
lineation of character of the Irish peo-
pie. Many Will remember the painting
by Alfred Gray shown in the World's
fair, AN Irish Harvest Field-Peasants
Loading Corn" loaned by a wealthy
New York art collector. James J. Hill
has in his collection Gray's painting of
Scotch cattle, which he values at $780,
600.
The Duke of Fife, who is the son-in-
law and cousin of King Edward VII,
commissioned Alfred Gray to paint his
tie on his estate at Mar. Among the pic
lures the artist painted there-one show
ing a herd of Scotch cattle with mount
ain scenery and the other a haying scene
on the Fife estate-are two that are
now exhibited as a Christmas Offering
The other is of an Irish character selling
Christmas wares, by Gregor Gray. Plat
mum prints have been made and will be
sold for the charity.

BUTCHERS PROFITS.
A Practical Demonstration in Cutting
Up "Critters."

When the venerable James Wilson,
secretary of agriculture, in his recent an
nual report, made the statement that the
meat dealers of hicago-the retailers
were making a gross profit of 46 per
cent. on every carcass of beef that they
sold, laymen opened their eyes in amaze
ment. Practical tests made by master
butchers in st. Louis show that the de-
partment of agriculture slightly under
estimated the gross profit, according to
John Schofeld, secretary Of the Master
Butchers of America In st. Louis re-
Gently number of 50O-pound beeves
were cut by a master butcher, one Of the
experts in his line. Every cut was care
fully weighed; the percentage of the diff
ferent cuts was closely figured. Then
the prices at which the different cuts
were sold in Chicago were furnished by
former AID. Duddleston, himself a mas
ter butcher. The computations show that
there was a gross profit of exactly 47h
per cent. to the retailer Of course, prof
its are materially cut down when ex-
penses are figured in, but the most liberal
figures show, says Mr.. Schofeld, that
there is still profit of 10 or 20 per cent
net left for the retailer

or, if that does not agree with your
conscience, give him the following
treatment: Five grains Of arsenic
once every "a hours for two weeks,
then omit a week and go on as
before. For a small horse give four
grains instead Of five; for very
large horse, six. Heaves are caused
by weak condition of a nerve, and
anything you can do to relieve this
will help the horse. Feed we'll and get
him in good condition, but give very
little rough feed. and even that is
best cut fine and made moist.-B.,

DISCOVER WHITE PINE.
Timber Cruisers on the Western Slope
of the 0lympics.

Alonzo Jergens and a party of timber
cruisers have returned to Seattle with
lie news of the discovery Of a vast body
Of white pine timber in the high alti-
udes Of the western slope of the Olym-
pic mountain range. The timber is re
puted to be the heaviest in the world,
standing, according to careful estimates,
as much as 100000 feet to the square
nile. OF this the white pine will average
100000 feet. The stand of white pine
IS found above the 1000 feet mark.
Trees of white pine measuring 8 feet
thick and $50 feet high were common,
and thousands of trees containing TO-
300 feet Of lumber were cruised. The
news of this discovery is extremely well
come to the match manufacturers on the
Pacific coast, for the white pine forests
are being rapidly depleted of the avail
able supply. The newly found great
stand of timber is 200 miles from q rail
road, and in the mountain Businesses.

ness and science Of the highest order.
Land is becoming scarce or rather
the population is increasing to such
an extent that there are more people
to occupy the land, resulting in each
land holder having less average. This
being the case, and since present-day
living demands more than in days
gone by, it remains for those who hold
and cultivate land to make more out
of it than did the farmers of gen
Grafton ago. Each farm unit must be-
come the scene of greater activity and
greater production. Not only must two
bushels of corn grow where only one
bushel grew before, but the farmer
must keep enough live stock of the
highest CrGlr to profitably consume
not only the two bushels of corn but
the entire corn, plants, ears, blades,
stalks, and all, returning profit in
animal growth and production and an
equivalent profit in manure as by
product for increasing and maintain
ing the fertility of the land he cult
Yates. Unless some unknown future
means Of fertilizer supply is discov-
cred or developed it will become an
absolute necessity for every farmer to
practice diversified farming in order
to secure needed supplies for fertiliz-
erS.
On the average farm we hold that
diversified farming is by far the best
method of securing the greatest per-
manent returns from the land. The
growing Of the plant crops and the
breeding and keeping of live stock of
some kind, or several kinds are means
of producing highly marketable goods
and at the same time of manufacture
ing high grade fertilizers at home.
saving the cost of double transporta-
tion and making more efficient use of
commercial fertilizers that may be
purchased Live stock and their prod
ucts now command very high prices,
and all indications point to the fact
that they will be at very good prices
from now on indefinitely. The diversi-
fed farmer is able to make a living
with the failure of a crop, or even
with the failure of several crops, if
he does not raise enough grain to feed
his animals he can buy grain to feed
them and at least not lose money on
them; if the animal crop fails he can
sell his grain. There is seldom an
ail-around failure of both plant and
animal crops. Also, making the breed
ing and growing of high bred live
stock on the farm a strong side line
allows the farmer to turn to good &C
count much roughage and waste feeds
that could not be sold on the market
or utilized to advantage in any other
way

Raising Cattle.


The surest money that one can make
in handling cattle is to sart with a
drove Of steer calves and grow them
to feed lot age and size, and if mar
ket conditions are then right to finish
before selling. Whether or not the
finishing is done, the gain made in
growing is a sure gain, and the maker
of it can not lose. He who stands
to lose or make is he who buys near
ly matured steers and feeds them
he either makes, comes out even or
loses The grower of steer calves to
a feed lot age uses little grain, hence
has nothing but nis time invested in
the growth made-his time in putting
up roughness and feeding it. His pas
