Good Time to Turn Farmer.

In theory there never was a better tme than right now for sensible man to move from city to country The movement has been away from the farm until prices of all kinds of food and fiber are high. There Is nothing in sight to indicate that prices will be greatly reduced by in creased production. A crop well grown and handled with good business judgment will be reasonably sure of sale at fair price. There never was a time when it was so easy to learn new methods and the principles of scientific farming. A man starting now may receive at once the benefit of 90 years of the experience and study of good farmers and scientific experts. For example millions of acres of land in the eastern states are almost nonproductive and thrown on the market at low figure. simply be- cause they are waterlogged and sour When these farms are drained and lined they become at once productive and double in value for farm purposes. They are naturally strong and drain age and lime make their strength available.-H. w. Collingwood, in Metropolitan Magazine.

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

When my boy was six years old, he 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. It started in a 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 I got Cuticura Soap, Cuti- cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and gave them according to directions. 1 used them in the morning and that evening, before 1 put my boy to bed, l used them again and the improve ment even in those few hours was sur prising, the inflammation seemed to be so much less. I 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 sev- enteenth year and he has never had a return of the eczema.
 q took care of friends child that had eczema on its face and limbs and used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. They acted on the child just as they did on my son and it has never re- turned I would recommend the Cuti- cura Remedies to anyone. Mrs. A. J.

About Egypt.

The total area of Egypt proper is aoout 4S0,0O0 square miles, of which however, only some f4.000 square miles are arable. The population ex- ceeds 1o.O00,000. the density of the settled part thus surpassing that of any other land on earth. Belgium not excepted. This superiority of Egypt as an agricultural country is owing to the equable climate: the possibility of carrying on farming all the year round, a constant supply of water and. as a consequence of the Nile over.
