scratching till the blood came. It kept
getting worse, couldn't sleep nights

itching stopped for about three days,
but when it started again, was even
worse than before. The eczema itched
SO badly I couldn't stand it any more.

some medicine, but didn't do any good.

Ointment, and washed off the affected
part with Cuticura Soap three times a

About the Farm.

Because the wind blows and the
snow flies, don't stop farming. Plan,
read, study, think.
These are about the most trying
days for the cows. They need a lit
tie extra care and must have it or
you will suffer for it next summer.
Cold weather doesn't keep sheen
from wanting salt. They are ready
for it every time you give it to them.
Keep some where they can get it all
the time.
Now about those pigs. Got to
keep 'em warm. You can't feed 'em
enough to keep them growing if they
shiyer it all off in cold pens.
A good cow is a good COW any,
where, be she what breed she may.
The farmer who invests in a full
blood dairy bull and few well-bred
dairy cows will have a paid-up policy
for the new year guaranteeing him
against loss from rust, hailstorm.
etc. Such a farmer has shown fore
sight.
