BABYS SKIN TORTURE
Toster-Milburn Co.. Buffalo. N. Y.

when our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore There
was no end to the suffering for him
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what 1t was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally got set of the Cuticura
Remedies and l am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited a year
and a half to see if it would return
but 1t never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as it possibly could
be- / hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,

tate and came along at full speed.
Sound asleep, but dreaming of i'm

his cot toward the north. and Beattie
from his cot toward the south. The
runaway horses dashed between the
sleepers, overseeing everything in the
way, but missing Beattie and Ralston
by margins too narrow to be meas

slept in his town house and Beattie
has found shelter under the ample
roof of his house on his big planta-

HUSkING OUT THE CORN CROP
Easy to Do Part of Work In Barr
During Indictment Weather If
Managed Properly.
nv GEORGE RpowNN

In sections of the country where the
corn crop is quite large it is almost
impossible to shuck out the entire
crop in the barn. hence the most
handy and economical method of dis
posing of the corn and fodder in the
open field during the early fall months
is sought out This is the way We
gather our corn:
As soon as the crop is ready to haul
into the barn we fill up our large base
ment floor which holds about two
good days husking, and keep it stored
there for bad autumn days which are
sure to come.
When we are driven from the fields
by storms we husk and bundle this
stored fodder out, and by the use of
sling attachment fastened upon our
hay rope we easily pull the bundles,
about fifteen at a load into the mows
with the use of the farm team. In
this manner the basement floor is
ready for more shocks from the field
as soon as the weather permits.
Out in the fields on nice days we can
keep the husking moving by employ
ing the low farm wagon upon which
is fitted a combination wagon box and
rack. The wings of this rack closed
up form a tight box and by letting
one wing down and driving alongside
the shock row each shock is readily
husked out. the corn thrown directly
into the bed, the fodder bundled, and
shocked or piled into lunches. Each
evening after the days husking is
stored in the cribs the same wagon
is employed in gathering in the days
husking of fodder which is hauled to
the barn and securely stored away.
In this manner each days work is
finished up clean and no concern is
felt by us as to what the weather of the
next day or two may be. In one cor
ner of the wagon bed is box for
choice ears of seed, selected as we
go along. If the fodder is to be
shocked up in punches for stacking
later on, we carry a discarded kero-
sene can, fitted with a temporary bat
tom into which has been placed ball
of Irvine with one end threaded out
through the spout.
From this ball we cut out our supply
of Irvine for tying the punches and
have no trouble from the Irvine en-
tangling among the fodder.
We aim to get all the corn into the
cribs and the fodder into the stacks
and barns as early as possible. for
after winter storms set in, fodder rap
idly depreciates even in we'll shocked
punches in the open field

His First Lesson in Economy

when l was a very small boy and
a dime looked pretty big to me, met
John H. Farley-who had always been
my good friend--on the street one
June day." says Frank Harris.
Frank, he said, the Fourth of
July is coming soon. You'll want
some change then. Let me be your
banker until then and you'll have
some money for firecrackers, torpe-
does, lemonade and peanuts
Il emptied my pockets into his hand
and every day thereafter until the
Fourth | turned over to him my small
earnings. When the day of days came
around l had a fund that enabled me
to celebrate in proper style, while
many of my playmates were fiat
broke. 1t was my first lesson in thrift.
and 1t was a good one Hundreds of
Cleveland people would be glad today
to testify to the fact that when John
II. Farley was friend of a man or a
boy he was friend indeed. "-Cleve-
land Leader.

about by the fungus, and the fungus
cannot start except by its own repro
ductive methods
Keep the spores away from the
green ears and the corn will remain
sound. Keep the field free from the
substance on which the spores are
produced and the crop will remain
free from danger
Practically the new infection comes
from the old stalks, not often from
the new infected ears to corn grown
the same season
Obviously the thing necessary then,
is to take out of the field and destroy
every rot-infected ear at husking time
and then to remove from badly in
fected fields the stalks by cutting
them low and burning them.
Of course better remedy is to ro-
tate crops so that corn shall not fol.

If these suggestions are strictly
carried out and corn is not allowed
to follow corn in the same soil oftener
than once in three years, carrot may
be effectually banished.

Little value attaches to coal ashes
as fertilizer. In some classes of soil
it might be beneficial TO use as me-
chanical agent, but it would have lit
tie other value. In closely compacted
soils or clays the mechanical action of
coal ashes might be in a measure
beneficial by loosening the substance
of the soil and permitting a freer cir
culation of air and water. though the
use of such ashes is of doubtful value.
Any soil which could be improved in
this mechanical way would doubtless
be equally improved by the gro1, sh of
clover, alfalfa. cow-eas or some ether
legume the long roots of which would
have the effect of loosening up the
soil, of adding quantity of humus to
it when the crop is plowed under. and
of fertilizing it very materially by the
development of the nitrogen-secreting
bacteria on the roots

loves Crime.

George was manly fellow, yet. sur
prising as it may seem, he was guilty
of grave charge, a criminal offense-
theft, for had he not many times,
stolen kisses from his fair sweet
heart?
Maude, one of the most lovable of
girls, was equally guilty as an acces-
sorry; she received the stolen property.
Each seemed to have perfect conf
dence in the other, however, and when
sentence was pronounced by proper
ly qualified official. they decided to
serve their time together.
They remained loyal to the end,
neither making any effort to have
their sentence abrogated or shortened,
but during the course of their long
term together several small offenses
were directly chargeable to them.

proviued by two boys who sell papers
and who live in one of the two houses

charge of the children said that the
boys had arranged the outing "of their

Bio Yield of Etherized Rhubarb.

Interesting and rather important re-
suits were obtained with the forcing
of rhubarb by the use OF ether in eX'
periments at Cornell station. The
roots were dug after growth haG
ceased in the fall and placed in an
alright chamber in which was set a
dish containing a half-ounce of ether.
Then the plants were removed 20 the
cellars, according to the usual method
of cellar-grown rhubarb. The crop Of
the roots treated with ether shows a
big gain, both in size and weight of
the individual stocks and in earliness
The yield was increased more than
sixty per cent 1t is probable that the
roots would be good for nothing after
such forcing, but with these results,
the grower could afford to produce a
new set of roots for use each year.
The combination of larger yield and
earliness makes a vast difference in
the receipts from the rhubarb crop.
