Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1910-03-18

The hiring of a farmland ought to
be regarded as a most important act;
yet many farmers are careless about
the matter, for which carelessness they
as we'll as the hired mar are often
brought to grief.
In employing a hand one should not
be too eXacting as to his aptness and
temperament. Still. we would not
bind ourselves by any specific agree
ment to a hand till we first had the
opportunity of observing his charac-
teristics. or knew him by u~ndeniable
reputation or recommendation.
So it is preferable to hire some
steady. dependable farmboy of your
own neighborhood. Where this can
not be done, take the stranger who is
seeking employment On trial for a
week or two; study him from all sides;
give him a chance to learn your ways,
and if the trial seems satisfactory
to both the risk in hiring him will
not be so great as though he were
hired during the first hour of your
acquaintance.
Have your agreement with a hired
man down in 'black and white A
written agreement never Injuries any
body, and no honest, fair-minded man
will object to one. All points liable to
cause any misunderstanding later on
should be thoroughly discussed, set
tied and included in the articles of
agreement, all of which may be the
means of saving the farmer from be-
- 1ocl - @;-l% ,JooD with M haln
and the farm hand from being out Of
employment-hunting for another job
of work at a season when wages are
the highest.-M. Albertus Coverdell In
Twentieth Century Farmer.
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1910-03-18
Buying Trees.

The Ohio Experiment Station be-
lieves that it is a good plan for the
farmer to learn something of a mans
reputation through his neighborhood
before buying trees of him. Then, if
possible, go early in the season and eX-
anime his trees. If an order is given,
specify that the trees must be of his
own growing and that there must be
no substituting. If ordering from a
distant firm, select those who advertise
in first-class periodicals., and specify,
as before, no substituting. Reputable
nurserymen and seedsmen try to keep
their stock pure and the varieties true
to name, but they often buy of others,
and mistakes may occur in handling.
If nurserymen and seedsmen are to be
censured more than other business
men for lax methods, says the direct.
or of the Ohio station, it is because
they get stock from doubtful sources,
by exchange or purchase, and because
they so often substitute a variety which
is lust as good"

Census reports tell us that in the
United States we have to-day at least
~233.59S,OS5 chickens, 6.559,367 turkeys,
5,67G,S63 geese and 4,S07 1853 ducks.
Poultry is an asset on at least IS 4,
per cent Of the farms of this country,
and at least $4,000 900 chickens, not
counting other varieties of poultry,
are consumed annually. The secre-
tary of the United States Department
of Agriculture says thai our hens lay
about 1,G66, 900. 900 dozens of eggs a
year, amounting to enough money to
pay the interest on the national debt.
Again. we are confronted with the
fact that the poultry and egg crops
comprise 1863 per cent of the total
animal products of this country, and
that, exclusive of the eggs n poultry
consumed by the owners of the hen,
the eggs alone bring annually SGD
900, 900 and the poultry crop is worth
$3.50 600, 900 a year. Still further i'm
provement is shown in the fact that in
ten agricultural colleges poultry hua
bandry is taught.

Tiny Buby'S Pitirui Case.

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be a few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off, leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
head there appeared a heavy C a
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see so small a baby look as she
did. Imaginet The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
By using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. I'm
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby our drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining a little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath Now the
baby is four months old. She is a fine
picture of a fat little baby and all is

A writer in the Revue Scientifque
discusses the effects of ivy growing
on walls of various kinds, and arrives
at the following conclusions: 1t is
not advisable to allow the plant to
grow on walls formed of newly cut
stone. since it soon destroys the
smooth surface, although the damage
does not extend to any noticeable
depth; it is bad for ancient walls of
cut stone, the joints of which have
