Denton.-An innovation in agricultural
methods in Caroline has been introduced
IN Tuckahoe Neck by Aaron c. Reber,
owner of the Emerson farm. on the road
between Denton and Hillsboro. Mr..
Reber brought from the West a steam
plow, with six shares. and drawn by a 20
horsepower engine
One of the reasons leading Mr. Rcber
to adopt Dakota methods in Maryland
was that the drouth had made the fallow
land so dry that it was not thought
eNpedlent to pillow it with horses. as their
strength was not sufficient to turn the
heavy sod The eXperimenter say, that
land plowed in such dry condition is
more easily pulverized and more pro
ductlve than when turned in a wet state.
By steam blowing, the six plows can turn
20 acres a day. while with horses the
average per plow is not over two acres
a day Three men operated the steam
pillow rs against six, required by the
ordinary plan.

LEG A MASS OF HUMOR

About seven years ago a small
abrasion appeared on my right leg
just above my ankle. 1t irritated me
so that l began to scratch it, and it
began to spread until my leg from my
ankle to the knee was one solid scale
like scab. The irritation was always
worse at night and would not allow
me to sleep, or my wife either, and it
was completely undermining our
health. l lost fifty pounds in weight
and was almost out of my mind with
pain and chagrin as no matter where
the irritation came, at work, on the
street or in the presence of company,
l would have to scratch it until had
the blood running down into my shoe.
l simply cannot describe my suffer-
ing during those seven years. The
pain, modification, loss Of sleep, both
to myself and wife is simply indie
scribable on paper and one has to ex-
perience it to know what 1t is.
Il tried all kinds of doctors and rem
edies but might as well have thrown
my money down sewer. They would
dry up for little while and fill me
with hope only to break out again just
as bad If not worse. l had given up
hope of ever being cured when I was
induced by my wife to give the Cuti-
cura Remedies trial. After taking
the Cuticura Remedies for a little
while l began to see a change, and
after taking a dozen bottles of Cuti-
cura Resolvent in conjunction with
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment, the trouble had entirely disap-
peared and my leg was as fine as the
day was born. Now after lapse Of

renee l feel perfectly safe In extend

good the Cuticura Remedies have done
for me. l shall always recommend
