HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN

Il am a 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 1 could not sleep and could do
but little work. They were SO bad
that l could not dress myself in the
morning. They would bleed and the
blood dropped on the floor. l called
on two doctors, but they did me no
good. l could get nothing to do any
good till l got the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. About a year
ago my daughter got a cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment and in week from the
time 1 began to use them my hands
were all healed up and they have not
been a mite sore since. l would not
be without the Cuticura Remedies.
They also cured a bad sore on the
hand of one of my neighbor's children,
apd they think very highly of the Cuti-
cura Remedies. John W. Hasty, So. Eff

GIVE HEN PLENTY OF SPACE
Most of Trouble Experienced by Be-
ginners Is That They Cramp
Fowls In Close Quarters.

How often we hear of some one who
has a large number of chickens com
planning of getting only n few eggs
each day. Again we learn OF others
having only a few hens who get near
ly al many eggs each day as they
have fowls. This is the rule rather
than the exception.
The secret of the trouble Is over
crowding in houses and yards. Too
many animals living together in a
limited space will not thrive. The
house, grounds and atmosphere be-
come filled with their excretion and
exhalations. When one becomes Ill
a large part or all Of them become
i'll, and conditions are such that low
production or fatal results soon fol-
low.
The beginner, and many old timers,
make the grave mistake Of giving
their poultry too little room. Simply
because a large number Of chickens
will crowd into a house OF coop, they
allow them to roost in a crowded con-

lose in development of young stock
and in egg production of old stock.
They are among the number that de-
clare that there is no profit in poultry.
The Plymouth Rock breed, while OF
a hardy variety, are inclined to fight
when crowded too closely. Ample
roosting space and plenty of nests
should be provided if best results are
desired from them.
While roosting during the Nesting
period at night, poultry needs an
abundance of fresh air to breathe. The
average poultry house is poorly sup
piled with windows and other means
of proper ventilation. The birds on
the roost breathe the anne air

GETTING EVEN WITH MAMMA
In This Case, ChiId's Punishment Ger
tainIy Failed to Have Salu-

A little girl had been so very
naughty that her mother found it
necessary to shut her up in a dark
closet-in that family the direst
punishment for the worst offense.
For Is minutes the door had been
locked without, a sound coming from
behind 1t. Not a whimper, not a sniffie.
At last the stern but anxious parent
unlocked the closet door and peered
into the darkness. She could see
nothing.
What are you doing in there?" she
cried.
And then a little voice piped from
the blackness:
