His First Lesson In Economy.

When ! was a very small boy and
a dime looked pretty big to me, met
John II. Fariey-who had always been
my good, friend-on the street one
June day says Frank Harris.
Frank, he said, the Fourth Of
July is coming soon. You'll want
some change then. Let me be your
banker until then and you'll have
some money for firecrackers, torpe
does, lemonade ald peanuts

and every day thereafter until the
Fourth l turned over 10 him my small
earnings. When the day OF days came
around | had fund that enabled me
to celebrate in proper style, while
many CT my playmates were fat
broke. 1t was my first lesson in thrift,
and it was a good one. Hundreds OF
Cleveland people would be glad today
TO testify TO the fact that when John

boy he was q friend indeed"

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

When our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in q doctor.
He said 1t was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three OF the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what 1t was to sleep we'll from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours OF the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally l got set of the Cuticura
Remedies and I am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited year
and a half to see II 1t would return
but 1T never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as 1t possibly could
be. l hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason.

and il was found that the chicks on
the sod covered floor were stronger,
freer OF disease and thrived better in
every way than chicks in breeders
with no earth covering for the floors.
From this experiment the idea was
evolved that earthen floors were the
proper kind for. young chicks and con.
tinued experiments were made on a
large scale.
The black earth floor was tried with
$4,000 chicks and proved so successful
that less than FIVE per cent. of ordin.
airy brooder raised chicks die.
The idea OF Mr.. Kellerstrass is that
board floors are too hard and un.
natural for the feet OF young chicks,
and that soil is soft and natural floor
for them. BY standing on the board
floor the chicks acquire leg weakness
that results in the white bowel trouble
and general weakening of the young
birds. With loose, dry soil as a floor
the chicks will early learn to scratch
and become active. Through scratch.

For good many years the general
farmer has contented himself with oc-
casionally going over his potato
plants with bucket and stick In an
attempt to eradicate entirely the de-
structive potato beetle or bug" In
4 way, this has answered the purpose,
since the plants were saved from be-
ing entirely consumed by the hordes
Of insect pests that continually swarm
ed up from nowhere, but Of course 1t
was impossible to rid each plant of all
he bugs that infested 1t. Some of
The eggs were sure to remain and
hatch.
Then there were the many varied
plant diseases TO which the tubers
we're subjected and a few years ago
10 methods were available to effectu-
lily control them, since no systematic
study had been given to this branch of
agriculture.

Realizing that more scientific meth
DDS should be adopted to successfully
combat these different pests, the New
York experiment station at Geneva
made some very interesting and care
full experiments In recent years, the
results of which have lately been pub
lished in bulletin form.
Their research revealed that FIRE
Quent sprayings during the dry sea
sons Of the year effected much better
plant conditions and proportionately
increased potato crop.
Out of eleven volunteer expert
ments, there was shown an average
gain per acre. due to spraying, OF 66K
bushels. The average net cost Of
spraying per acre was 81 cents and
the average price of potatoes at dig
ging time was 60 cents per bushel. A
little mental arithmetic makes Il self
evident that It pays to spray.

SAVES LIVES
OF CHICKENS
Kansas Poultry Raiser Has DIG
covered and Put INTO Practice
Means of Preventing Large
Mortality Among Chicks.

A well-known Kansas City poultry
nan, Ernest Kellerstrass, has discov-
cred and put into practise new
means of preventing the common
large mortality of brooder chicks. The
remedy is so simple that at first
thought it appears almost ridiculous.
Il consists only in the use Of black
soil in the floor OF the brooder.
MIR. Kellerstrass by accident, two or
.hree years ago. noticed that a piece of
sod placed on the floor of brooder
vas quickly worked on by the chicks.
rhey stood on IL and scratched on 1t
n preference TO the wooden floor Of
he brooder. The entire floor of the
,roodcr was then covered with sod.

and after removing all the furniture
bolted the doors so that he was unable

clared he had a. life interest in the

tate OF his wife.
