OF educating a farmer was Imaginable
to many people who rejoiced in lit

college education to a man who must
make a living from the soil. 1t took
good many years to bring people to re-

the law compeis man to get col

Even at the present time there are
many men both on the farm and in
the cities who doubt the value Of a
college education for the farmer
Many a farm boy is squarely con

with a terrible eczema, being a mass
of sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed. During
that time 1 suffered continual tor
ture from itching and burning. After
being given up by my doctor l was ad-
vised to try Cuticura Remedies. After
the first bath with Cuticura Soap and
application of Cuticura Ointment l en-
joyed the first good sleep during my
entire illness. | also used Cuticura
Resolvent and the treatment was con-
tinued for about three weeks. At the
end of that time l was able to be
about the house, entirely cured, and
