CHURCH LIGHTED BY WIND
Novel Method Employed to Illuminate
Sacred Edifice Near Birming-
ham, England.

Probably one of the most novel
methods of providing lighting for a
church is that employed at the old
Cosely church, situated few miles
out from Birmingham, England.
About 600 feet from the church is
the mouth of disused coal mine,
around which are huge piles of tail
ings. Upon one of these steel tower
so feet high is erected and a windmill
is feet in diameter installed. At the
base of the tower in small house is
an electric generator which is run by
the mill. The current thus generated
feeds 27 lamps in the church, two in
the chapel, two in the vestry; operates
motor for pumping the pipe organ,
and also lights 80 lamps in the rec
tory. a storage battery in the rectory
is part of this unique lighting plant.

PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"a few davs after birth we noticed
m inhamed scot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have a stitch of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced 1t chronic eczema. He is
q very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh SO rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
mot until commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we. tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, ard left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
az much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured I don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until I would treat him, they
semed to relieve him so much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation." CSigned) Mrs. T. B.
Rosser, Mill Hall, Pa, Feb. 20, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold by druggists and deal
ers everywhere, a sample of each,
with 32-page book, will be mailed free
on application to "Cuticura," Dept
20 4, Boston.

especially suitable for the production
of large roasters. They are slow and
somewhat sluggish in movement, with
little desire for foraging, easily con-
fined by low fences, rather slow to
mature, persistent sitters, and rather
Indifferent layers of large brown
shelled eggs. Many poultrymen, how
ever, are getting very good egg yields
from them. The Brahmas, Cochins
and Langschans may be mentioned
as belonging to this class.
The general-purpose breed inclades
fowls which are fair of size and which
will also produce good quality of
brown-shelled eggs, making them espe-
cially adapted to the person wishing
supply of both eggs and meat. AS
one has to make frequent sales of flesh
in the shape of surplus cockerels and
hens, the carcass as well as egg pro-
duction should be considered. The
general-purpose breeds are usually
good sitters and good mothers. They
have medium-sized combs and wattles
and endure cold weather well. They
occupy medium position between the
egg and meat breeds as to size, egg
production and docility. The Plymouth
Rocks, W'yandottes, Orpingtons and
Rhode Island Reds are good repre-
sentatives of this class.
The choice of variety Of fowls
will deper.d largely on the purpose for
which they are to be kept, the market
demands, and whether sitters or non
sitters are desired If eggs are de-
sired for the market and the market
calls for eggs having white shells, one
of the Mediterranean varieties will
be suitable. If eggs that have brown
shells are required, one of the Ameri.
can or Asiatic varieties may be chos-
en-. Where meat is the chief object,
the heavy-bodied fowls, such as the
Asiatics, should be chosen. If fowls
are to be kept for the production Of
both eggs and meat, some variety
of the general-purpose class should be
chosen. While these do not attain
the great size Of the Asiatics, they
are sufficiently large to be reared fol-
meat and, at the same time, have the
tendency Tor egg production developed
sufficiently to produce large number
of eggs during the year.

Snakes in Prohibition Maine.

Snakes emptied two saloons in Port

a hox OF snakes sent to him from the

WRONG SORT
Perhaps Plain Old Meat, Potatoes and
Bread May Be Against You

A change to the right kind Of food
can lift one from sick bed. A lady
in Welden, ILL.,, says:
Last spring I became bed-fast with
severe stomach troubles accompanied
by sick headache. l got worse and
worse until l became so low I could
scarcely retain any food at all, al
though / tried aboug every kind.
81 had become completely discour-
aged, and given up all hope, and
thought 1 was doomed to starve to
death, until one day my husband, try
ing to find something I could retain,
brought home some Grape-Nuts.
ITO my surprise the food agreed
with me, digested perfectly and with
out distress. / began to gain strength
at once. My flesh (Which had been
fabby), grew firmer, my health i'm
proved in every way and every day,
and in very few weeks I gained 20
pounds in weight.
81 liked Grape-Nuts so we'll that for
four months / ate NO other food, and
always felt as we'll satisfied after eat
ing as If / had sat down to a fine ban
Quet.
81 had no return of the miserable
sick stomach nor of the headaches,
that l used to have when ate other
food. l am now we'll woman, doing
all my own work again, and feel that
life is worth living.

To Max. Fruit Jar Rubbers Last.

To have fruit Jar rubbers last, keep
them well covered il. a jar full of flour
until used, and as soon as removed
from empty jars. One can then afford
good quality of rubbers, as kept
thus they will safely last several sea-
sons. When there is doubt Of old
rubbers, they may often be made to
eke out one more season by using two
of. the rubbers to each jar and screw
ing down tight. Always stand newly
filled jars upside down until cool, to
test the tops and rubbers.-Designer.

PUT NITROGEN IN THE SOIL
All That is Needed Can Be Supplied
by Planting Legumes in Corn,
Cotton Etc.
Rv C. II. ALFORD.l

We are told by the experiment sta
tions in the south that most of our
soils contain an abundance of potash.
The air is we'll supplied with nitrogen
-four-fifths of 1t being composed OF
this element-and it is easily and
cheaply supplied to the soil by grow
ing legumes. The practical way for
all farmers to put all the nitrogen in
the soil necessary to produce maxi
mum crops is to grow legumes in the
corn, cotton, tobacco, sweet potatoes,
melons and so forth and so on.
Most of our soils are deficient in
phosphorus. Prairie lands are gener-
ally well supplied with phosphoric
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1911-07-12

acid. Lime land also generally ccn-
tains an abundance of phosphoric
acid. Acid phosphate. the form in
which PHOSPHORUS is generally aD-
piled to land, is made by mixing
equal weights of ground phosphate
rock and sulphuric acid. The sui
phuric acid is added to the ground
rock to make it available for plants.
If the soil is full of vegetable mat
ter, the vegetable acids will take the
place of the sulphuric acid and the
ground phosphate rock may be applied
to the soil. The ground rock can be
purchased for about one-fourth the
price of acid phosphate.
