HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN

II am q man seventy years old. My
hands were very sore and cracked
open on the insides for over a year
with large sores. They would crack
open and bleed. itch. burn and ache
SO that I could not sleep and could do
but little work. They were SO bad
that I could not dress myself in the
morning. They would bleed and the
blood dropped on the floor. called
on two doctors, but they did me no
good. I could get nothing to do any
good till got the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. About a year
ago my daughter got cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box Of Cuticura
Ointment and In one week from the
time I began to use them my hands
were all healed UP and they have not
been a mite sore since. I would not
be without the Cuticura Remedies.
"They also cured a bad sore on the
hand Of one of my neighbor's children,
and they think very highly Of the Cuti-
cura Remedies. John w. Hasty, So. Eff

TO FRESHEN UP RIBBONS
Many Methods May Be Employed, and
With Care They VIII Appear
Like New.

Messaline ribbons and those of tat
feta can be washed in gasoline and
cornmeal mixed, If but slightly soil.
ed. Velvet can be cleaned in the
same way.
Certain ribbons can stand washing
in soap and water. Experiment first
with a small end Take a thick suds
of white soap and rinse through sew
eral soapy waters and a final clear,
cool water. Press out most Of the
moisture between cloths and dry on
crock or press between linen cloths
while still damp.
Where it is proved that ribbon will
not wash without stiffening rinse
through gasoline or benzine several
times, then wipe dry with piece of
flannel and stretch until dry.
Ribbon betting can be stretched
tight on a board or the edge of a
stationary washstand and scrubbed
with a clean nail brush and thick
white suds. Keep stretched until
dry.
Ribbons with picot edges must be
carefully pinned into place through
each loop If it is to look fresh when
finished Gauze ribbons rarely stand
washing, but with care can be fresh
ened by using a little gum arabic
water.

CARE OF POULTRY IN WINTER
Not Much Hard Work Required to
Keep Flock In Summer, but Differ
ent In Cold Weather.
(By B. A. WEIGH


It does not require much hard work
to keep a flock in good condition in
the summer, but absolute neglect will
often completely destroy the winter
egg producing qualities Of not only
the old hens but the pullets as well.
II you have not removed every win
dow in the chicken house and substi-
tuted wire netting in order to provide
perfect ventilation do so at once.
Better that the chicks roost in the
trees than they be confined in YER
min ridden building.
Body lice will worry flock to
death, or so nearly so as to destroy it's
usefulness. These can be killed but
not easily.
Persian insect powder will do the
business. 1t should be applied with q
powder spray by one person while an
other holds the fowls by the legs so
that the powder may reach every part
of the skin through the disturbed
feathers.

These bright days make work in the
poultry yard a real pleasure.
Hens should not be expected to
drink ice water or eat corn out of
snow.
When fenced away from the gar
dens and flower beds fowls do little
damage and cause scarcely any annoy
ance on a farm.
Chickens will not scratch when they
are overfed nor when there is no
feed in the litter. The idea is to keep
them scratching.
The material from which egg shells
are made is carbonate of lime and
there are many forms in which this
may be furnished.
Hens that are not laying these days
can coaxed sometimes by feeding
them a small amount OF cut bone or
fresh meat in some form.
When it becomes necessary to wash
eees nm account Of their becoming
soiIed in the nest, don't use soap or
ANYTHING else but luke warm water.
Tho indian Runner duck is to the
duck family what the Leghorn is to
the hen family. They are great lay
ers but not so suitable for market
purposes.
If YOU keep the poultry house as
clean &c the dairy house and use
equal energy and good sense in ev-
erv other branch of the business you
will make money.

BENEFITS OF POULTRY SHOW
Of Particular Educational Value to Be-
ginner-Gives Fancier Chance to
See Live Birds.
Rv p IT WHITLEY

The educational value OF the pou1-
try show to the fancier, and particu-
larly to the beginner, cannot be over
estimated. A study of the standard
or other descriptions without the op-
portunity to see live specimens could
never give the clear, concise concep-
ton of a variety which the poultry
birds creates. Nor is this benefit
lost to the experienced fancier, for
every opportunity which he gets to
see the birds of his competitors and to
meet and exchange ideas with his fell
low-breeders is of direct educational
value After all, poultry breeding.
like all other livestock breeding. fol-
lows certain fashions, which are con-
stantly changing more or less slowly.
and for this reason the fancier who
never has opportunity to observe 9th
er mems stock can scarcely expect to
keep abreast of these fashions in
birds. To the fanciers, therefore, both
Old and new, the poultry show is lib
eral education, and in some sense a
necessity.

with poultry and who attend the show
largely from curiosity the exhibition
has distinct educational value. It
opens their eyes to the extent and
degree to which poultry breeding has
been carried, and brings a realization
of Importance of the industry In this
relation the show has direct value to
the industry in arousing interest in
poultry breeding and in gaining many
new recruits.
To the plain or utility poultryman
the show has, Of course, an education
al value. 1t may open his eyes to the
value of pure-bre6 stock as compared
with scrub or mongrei stock, though
here it would seem to fail somewhat
in it's possibilities. The writer has
been informed, however, that this ed
vocational influence is felt in the in

The t1Iqh Waist Line.

That women are 10th to give up
the empire effect of high waist line

break the otherwise stiff effect. These

ried out in gold tissue or gold beaded
chiffon or some other drapable fabric
that is light in effect, are simply
charming and make the figure of the
wearer appear at its best, as the soft
folds cling closely against the curves

dies Of this description will doubtless
be available. In fact, only short
time ago they were made on light

Plan of Feeding.

BY giving the hens just as much

in the litter, they will start scratching
and will keep it up until their crops
are filed.
At night they can be given all they
can eat of acceptable foods, varying
as frequently as circumstances allow.

In the summer time, even for confined

Provide warm, dry houses for them

given for the evening meal during

body. All grains should be scattered
among straw or chaff to induce exer-

should be given daily. Glover, il cut

sprinkling of ground grain i'll the

How RI Feed the FIocks.

Scratching is Of more Importance
than feeding, and it is not necessary
to feed them more than twice day,
as the noon meal usually satisfies the
fowls that they will not be inclined to
scratch and then exercise. The hen
that has to hustle for part of her liv-
ing will be laying eggs while the over
fed hen is serenely digesting her food
and quietly waiting for her owner to
bring more.
