SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR

MY mother used to have a very bad
humor on her lead which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it l had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite OF what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking Of how her hair was falling
out ard the doctors did it no good.
She says. Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scalding of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fins
head of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four.
MY own case was an eczema in my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then 1 thought l would fee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. I did for four or
five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun

IRRIGATE COTTON IN TEXAS
Wonderful Results Accomplished by
That Method in Lower Rio Grarde
Valley This Season.

Wonderful results were accom-
plished this season growing cotton by
means of irrigation in the lower valley
of the Rio Grande. 1t is said to be
the only locality in the United States
where this product is raised by sup
plying artificially the moisture needs
Of the plants unless it be a few small
irrigated farms in the more arid re
gions of Texas.
One bale al acre Is an extraordinar
lily large yield under the ordinary
methods of farming, where the rain.
fall is depended upon to supply the
moisture for the crop anywhere in the
south. The average yield is less
than one half-bale an acre n season
with another. In the lower valley Of
the Rio Grande this season, where ir
rigation was practised in growing the
crop, as high as two bales an acre Is
being obtained by farmers, says s
Mercedes (Tex.) dispatch in the St
Louis Globe-Democrat. T. P. Cheney
who has a farm two and a half miles
south of the town Of Donna, picked 81
bales off 60 acres up to September 10
and when the crop season closed hi
had gathered 60 more bales from tn.
same ground, making something ovel
two bales an acre. The revenue from
this cotton will be about $4,000, no
counting the seed, which will sell foI
enough money to pay for all the ex
penses of the crop, including tn,
planting, cultivating, picking and mai
keting, according to MI. Cheney's est
mate.
This is only one illustration Of VIVA
is being done in this region in GROWN,
cotton. 1t Is not unusual for one bal,
Of the staple to be grown to an acr,
by the valley farmers. When the har
vest of cotton Is over the same land Ii
planted in winter vegetables or som,
! other kind of crops, and they are gath
cred and out of the way before tn,
next cotton planting season arrives.
One Of the most important feature,
of this new era of cotton production
in the Rio Grande valley during tn,
last three years is that it has resulte,
in such a reduction of the boil weeyi
pest in this region that those insecti
are no longer considered a seriou,
menace to the crop.

SOME DEFECTS TO OVERLOOK
Frosted Comb of Fowl Does Not De-
tract From Breeding Qualities of
Pure Breeds.

When buying pure-bred fowls for
improvement, one need not mind GER
tain defects, provided the birds are
healthy and vigorous, as all defects
are not transmitted to their progeny,
writes A. E. Vandervort in Country
Gentleman. When the comb of a bird
is torn or frosted, or the bird is in
jured in any way accidentally, it does
not destroy the quality of the stock
for breeding purposes, unless, of
course, the birds are disabled entire
ly. An injured or frosted comb will
not grow out again, but new feathers
will appear on the body when moult-
ing takes place. Any defect, however,
that is inherited, or appears voluntar-
lily, such as Hoped combs, crooked
backs, wrong colored feathers in the
plumage, etc, may be transmitted to
the next generation. Minor defects
may be overlooked, but defects that
are indications of the impurity of the
bred should not be allowed.

ERSSSS&

In old weather there is no better
feed than corn.
Intensive poultry keeping On heavy
soils is a gamble.
1t pays to rake the litter into piles
several times a day.
Keep the cockerels by themselves
until the breeding season, if it can pos
sibly be done.
Should the farmer still continue to
neglect the hen? That is a good sub
ject for debate. Try it.
A realization of the value of a we'll
kept flock of poultry is of the great
est importance to the farmer.
The poultry yard should not be a
place of drudgery, but should be ar
ranged for comfort when being built.
Take your best pigeons to the shows
the coming season, and let the people
see what is being done in the fancy.
Plenty of sunshine, fresh air and
clean fresh water will furnish all that
is needed to handle any flock profit
ably.
We rob ourselves when we over
fed our chickens; we rob the chick
ems as we'll as ourselves when we
underfeed.
Buckwheat, fed sparingly, is a first
rate egg producing grain. Care must
ke taken not to feed too freely, as it
Is very fattening.
Hens will always level a mound If
possible, and if a few grains of some
thing they like is scattered through
the pile they will work all the harder.
Fix the drinking vessels so that
the chickens will rot get in the wa
ter to become chilled or they are
more than likely to die in onse-
quence.
To harden the shtells so that the
eges will ship we'll, the hens should
have ground bone, crushed shell, or
lime, or all three at different times
and at frequent intervals.
The consumption of eggs and fowls
is rapidly increasing on the farm.
With the retail price OF ham at ~
cents per pound farmers will eat more
eggs and less ham and bacon.
It pays to bank the hen houses and
make the floors warmer for the feet
then look to plenty of litter. The best
layers are the comfortable hens, and
-ou know howl is with cold feet.
The Plymouth Rock breed makes an
excellent general purpose fowl. 1t is
a good layer, of delicious favor for ia.

CEMENT SILO BUILDING
Reinforced Concrete for Practical
Use on Farm.
Tank in Lyon County, Kansas, Is Thir-
ty Feet High and Fifteen Feet In
Diameter-Green Fodder the
Year Round.

The first cement silo in Lyon coun-
ty-the seventh or eighth to be built
In Kansas-is on the farm of George
Randolph, two miles south Of Emporia.
The silo and the value of ensilage for
stock during the winter months is ap-
preciated by every farmer who Is pro-
pressive in his agriculture. Perhaps
every farm in the state has a silo of
home construction, built Of boards
and covered with earth. But the &C.
ment silo is to the one of boards as
the wheat binder is to the cradle and
scythe. And, thanks largely to the
extension department of the Agricul-
tural College at Manhattan, the farm
ers are beginning to realize the i'm
portance of green fodder the year
round for their milch COWS and stock.
For that is one of the wonders of the
cement silo.
The structure of MI. Randolph's
was built this summer under the d.
rection of Mr.. Human, formerly of
the Agricultural College of Kansas,
now head of the extension department
of the College of Colorado. The silo
Is 80 feet high and Is feet in diam
eter. 1t is 4 inches thick at the base
and 2h inches at the top. The &C.
ment was applied over a framework
of metal lath and is REINFORCED
throughout with steel rods. The
foundation is sunk but four feet in the
ground; locations where the drainage
is not as good as it is in the Randolph
silo require a deeper foundation. The
entire cost of the structure was $500.
Mr.. Randolph filled the silo during
the first three weeks of October. The
capacity is supposed to be los tons,
but the amount Of fodder slowed away

A brushy hillside makes an ideal
place for pheasant raising. The

nests must be well protected and the

fond Of carrots, onions, lettuce and
the other greens.

of land"
One man reports an instance in
which rats destroyed three-fourths of
the crop on IL acres. A large portion
of the crop grown on the Potomac
fats, nea Washington, was destroyed
by rats.
The most serious charge against
rats grows out of their relation to
human health. 1t is now positively
known that rats are responsible for
the spread Of bubonic plague, a NAL
ady which, in spite Of modern meth
DDS of fighting it, has within the past
dozen years destroyed owe 5000, 900

ticular means by which the disease Is
transmitted from rat to rat and from
rat to man is solely by the rat flea.
