SOFT, WHITE HANDS
May BE Obtained i'm One Night.

For preserving the hands as well
as for preventing redness, roughness,
and chapping, and imparting that vel
vety softness and whiteness much de-
sired by women Cuticura Soap, assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior to all other skin soaps.
For those who work in corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, 1t is Invaluable.
Treatment.-Bathe and soak the
hands on retiring in a strong, hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura Oint-
ment, and in severe cases spread the
Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces of
old linen or cotton. Wear during the
night old, loose gloves, or a light
bandage of old cotton or linen to pro-
tect the clothing from stain. For red,
rough, and chapped hands, dry, fis-
sured, itching, feverish palms, and
shapeless nails with painful finger
ends, this treatment is most effective.

out the world, Potter Drug &c Chem.

First Use of Iron.

As q result of his interesting lives
tigation, DR.. Ridgeway concludes that
the smelling of iron originated in Cen
trail Europe, and especially in the re-
gion known as Noricum, equivalent to
modern Austria and Bavaria. In
Egypt it can be traced back to the
ninth century B. c., and in Libya to
about 450 B. c. First mention of its
use in China goes back to 400 r. c..
while in Uganda it is said to have been
in use only some five or six centuries.
The above date for the first use OF
iron in Egypt refers to the metal OBJ
tanned in smelling. The use of native
iron in the form of meteorites dates
back to remote antiquity. The weap-
ons made from these were obtained.
like flint implements, by chipping.
And it is interesting to remember that
recent investigations have shown that
the iron of many meteorites is sort
of natural steel. y

the liver? Where is the spleen?
How large is the stomach? How long
are the intestines? There are two
lungs, one on the right, the other on
the left; one has two lobes, how many
has the other? How many bones are

or hollow? Do the bones of bird
contain marrow? How many toes has
a dog? Does a COW have teeth? Can
a horse breathe through his mouth ?
Why does a dog pant with his tongue
out? Why do most perching birds
ro0Ss on one leg when asleep? why
does a fox terrier run on three legs?

FertiIizinq Wheat,

want to use fertilizer on one
hundred acres Of my wheat during the
coming year. How is the best way to
apply it. Should | SOW it before SOW
ing the wheat or with it? This lat
ter method is gaining great popular
ity in this part Of the country. What
is a good fertilizer for clover? Would
the sowing of this fertilizer necessar-
lily have to be kept up regularly? How
much of an increase can be made by
frequent cultivation? Can wheat be
cultivated in any way in order to in
crease the yield? U, P. H.
Answer: Sow wheat fertilizer with
the wheat in the drill, if the drill has
an attachment for that purpose. or
SOW it broadcast. A good plan is to
apply tie mineral fertilizers, that is,
potash and phosphoric acid, in the
fall and apply the nitrogen IN the
spring. Nitrogen fertilizers generally
are readily soluble, and If not taken
up by the plants shortly after apply
ing, are apt to be washed away by
rains and lost.
Glover has the power to furnish its
own supply of nitrogen which Is gath
cred from the air. This leaves only
potash and phosphoric acid to be ap-
piled to the land. Sometimes lime Is
also needed The sowing of fertilizers
need not necessarily be kept up. but
1t will be found to pay If judiciouSly
done, that is, to put upon the land
for each crop the amount Of fertilizer
that that particular crop Is capable
of using. When single application of
fertilizer is made 1t does not all be-
come soluble in single YEAR and its
gcod effects may last for SEVERAL
years.
We do not know how much of an in.
crease in the yield can be made by
frequent cultivatiom but we do know
ta,et there Is considerable benefit in
doing so. In a recent number OF this
paper there was an article giving
some results of ain experiment along
this line. A SIMILAR experiment Is
being carried on at the State Fair
grounds with corn. COW peas, etc..

Breed to Sound Horses.

Unsound horses are a d1sappoint-
ment to their purchasers. A sound
horse is always ready for service and
can perform more work chan On un-
sound animal. Many farmers are so
careless In breeding to unsound stall
lions and perpetuating unsound hors-
es, that several of the states have
passed license stallion laws, disquali-
flying unsound sires from peTfurming
breeding service. This precaution ap-
peared necessary to protect farmers
from the consequences of their own
carelessness and indifference in the
horse industry. AS like begets like, a
generation OF sound horses can be
produced only by using sound breed

Give the hens warm water to drink.
Don't neglect to put up some good
corn fodder for the cattle.
Neatness and cleanliness in mar
keting poultry products will pay big.
A 1000-pound steer on feed for six
months will produce three or four
tons of manure.
1t is better to keep fewer cattle
and keen them well than to poorly
care for greater number.
Beef is the imperial flesh food of
the age said the late L. H. Kerrick,
and many people agree with him.
While at the fairs, look up the bulls
for sale and consider the advisability
Of breeding up your cattle stocks.
The farmers should feed their corn
and barley crops to cattle and hogs
and save soil fertility and market the
finished product.
Many farmers will not milk cows
even if they realize that certain profits
will result. Such farmers stand in
great need of pure-bred beef bull.
Some green corn cut now and
thrown into the cattle yards is eager
ly' made use of by the bovife tribe in
the production of both flesh and milk.
Don't allow the young stock to be
infested with lice. Spray them thor
oughly with solution of commercial
dip and kerosene and rub well into
the hair.
Humor the hens, this will keep
them happy. therefore they will sing.
A hen can't sing very long before
she will lay, so the bread upon the
waters returns many fold.
Young chicks must keep their feet
dry, especially nights. A good coop
can be made of dry-goods box turn
ed down ON the side, and raised an
inch or SO from the ground. Put on
roof, a door with hinges, and a but
ton to fasten 1t, and cover the whole
with good roofing paper.

Broody Hens.


1t IS not always true that when a
hen shows signs of broodiness it is
natures hint that she needs a rest.
When hen lays a few eggs and then
becomes broody it is due to racial
rather than natural or physical caus-
es. In the case of the hen that has
been laying for a period it is undoubt-
edly true that signs Of broOdiness in
dicate that exhausted nature demands
rest, and it should be given. 1t is
not always desirable to put eggs un-
der the broody hens and allow them
to bring off brood of chickens; so
in such case it is necessary to break
up the fever, at the same time giving
the hen rest.
Cruel methods are sometimes re-
sorted to in breaking up the broody
biddies, when mere humane treat
ment would serve the purpose just as
well. Dipping them in cold water will
no doubt, break them, but the shock
to their bodies, which record a tenn
perature of about 10 degrees is dan
gerous. Conlining them in light coops
without food or water for several days
as practiced by some, will also break
them, but when they are released
from their prison the hens are nearer
dead than alive.
When hen first becomes broody 1t
is better to let her sit for few days
and then break her up. This will give
the hen a rest and allow her system
to recuperate, besides making it much
easier to break up the broody fit than
II taken in hand when the symptoms
first appear. After remaining on the
nest two or three days, the hen may
then be confined in an airy coop or
pen, large enough to admit OF exercise
but free from anything from which
she can make a nest. Feed lightly
and give plenty of water. A small coop
with slat bottom thru which the
air can circulate also makes good
jail for the broody hen. A sitting hen
must feel the sensation of warmth
under her body when she is ON the
nest, else she will soon give up the
work. When confined in a coop such
as mentioned, the coop to be raised
a few inches from the ground allowing
the air to circulate freely, the hen
will speedily discover that 1t is i'm
| possible to impart warmth to anything
and the sitting fever will soon abate.
A red rag fastened to the feet of a
biddy in such manner as to attract
her attention is said to be an effective
way of breaking broody hens, but this
probably might be classed among the
cruel methods, as the hen will be con.
tinually trying to get away from the
! rag.
Confinement for a few days is as
good a method as any, and, if given
food and water, when released the
hens will be ready to commence lay
ing again in short time. If allowed
to occupy nests as long as they are
disposed they will often sit for weeks,
and may not lay again for several
months. thereby becoming source of
loss instead of proft.-W. f. P. in the
Indiana Farmer.
