NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

My little son, boy Of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At
the time | was induced to try Cuti.
cura he was SO bad that l had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as 1t was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inHa
of skin on his whole body that VI =
not affected. He was one mass OF
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and In removing them 1t used
to take the skin off with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreakng. I began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint'
ment began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled of twenty
times, but 1t finally yielded to the
treatment. Now can say that he is
entirely cured, and stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,

KANSAS STATE NEWS
To Teach Farmers by Mall.

The cry of back to the land has
been heard III Kansas and those who
have obeyed are anxious to make the
most Of their opportunities. With hogs
up in the air, wheat soaring and every
farm product bringing top prices, the
farmers are not satisfied. They are
seeking to increase the yield OF their
acres and looking to the Kansas ex-
pertinent station and the Agricultural
college to determine how this may
best be done. In order to meet the
call for scientific knowledge in the
best manner, the college, through the
extension department, has prepared
courses in many subjects and Is now
offering these to the people Of the
state. They have been arranged for
the purpase of instructing those who
are unable to, attend the college and
are the embodiment Of the same work
offered resident students. The follow
Ing are some Of the courses arranged
for correspondence instruction: Ele-
mentary agriculture, soils, farm
crops, stock feeding, orcharding, vege-
table gardening, landscape gardening,
cooking, sewing, injurious insects,
farm dairying, poultry management
farm drainage, highway construction
and dairy manufacturing.

packaaes for Delivering Milk.

The dairy department of the Kansas
Agricultural college is experimenting
with single service package for de-
livering milk. This package is made
of pasteboard covered with paraffin
and is thrown away after being used.
There are several shapes of packages,
the most convient one of which is an
oblong cylindrical can, Quart cans
will cost about five-eights OF a cent
each. The advantage of this package
are that it does not break easily, does
not need to be washed, and 1t is light
er than the glass bottles now in use.
The college. Is. trying to determine
whether these packages are less ex-
pensive than glass and which is the
most sanitary.

New Flooring for Dairy Barns.

The Kansas Agricultural college is
experimenting with the latest idea
for good floor for dairy barn In
the form of brick made by compress
ing pieces of waste cork into a good
grade of asphalt. These brick are a
little larger than building brick, 3x9x4,
and are made from pieces of cork that
would otherwise be wasted in insulat-
ing refrigerators and cold storage
supplies. The dairy department OF the
Agricultural college will floor several
stables with 1t in order to determine
its value. The bricks are to be laid
fat on a stand base and grouted with
hot asphalt. 1t is thought that a
floor of this kind will not be quite as
hard nor as cold as cement.
