Prejudice is n hard thing to overcome,

In the opinion OF legions of reliable
American people the most stubborn

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

-Four years ago l had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began. my wrist and shin itched like
poison. / would scratch those places
until they would bleed before l could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over. and the flesh I'M
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes It would begin to itch until
It would waken me from my sleep.
and | would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced it dry
eczema" / used an ointment which
the doctor gave me. but it did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. AS this trouble has
been in our family for years. and is
considered hereditary, I felt anxious
to try to head it off. l got the Cuti-
cura Soap. Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be just what / needed.
THE disease was making great
Roadway on my system until | got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin OF the great pest.
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago. until now, have never felt
any of its pest. and am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. ! always use the
Cuticura Soap for toilet. and hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment"

USE WINDMILL IN IRRIGATING
Water From Surface Tank
How to Apply.

A reader in the lower Panhandle OF
Texas asks for information in regard
to the possibility of irrigating gar
den OF an acre or more with wind
mills. The crops which he wishes TO
raise are onions, sweet potatoes and
peanuts. An ineSdaustible supply OF
water can be had at depth of about
40 feet and the winds are very strong,
especially in the spring.
The usual plan is to get good
supply of water from a surface tank.
writes H H. Harrington in the Farm
and Fireside. These tanks are usual
ly made by scraping the dirt from
the outside, so as to form an en-
bankment and an inner enclosure Of
whatever size is desired, say from
30 feet to 100 feet in diameter
The soil on the inside is not scraped
out because it has been found that,
as rule, the tank will hold water
better by leaving this soil undis-
turbed.
The soil is very rich and fertile
when water is applied, and a COM
paratively small amount of water Is
all that is needed. While making the
levee, pipe with a valve or cutoff
is placed in the embankment, and
when it is desired to irrigate. the
water is simply turned on from this
pipe, and by little surface bitches con-
veyed to the garden or small field.
where needed. Sometimes difficulty
may be found by the water sinking
into the ground through a hole and
refusing to pass along the surface
ditch. This can usually be remedied
by means of hoe If this fails, a
short plank trough will carry the wa
ter over the sink-hole.
Perforated tile would undoubtedly
be better means of conveying this
water, much less water being re
quired. This tile can be made from
concrete for use where there is little
or no alkali, as is the case on the low
er plains of Texas. Any kind of gar
den vegetables may be raised will
advantage. Sweet potatoes require
much less water than onions.
Watermelons will usually be founC
paying crop, because one or two If
rigations will be sufficient.
In the same way peanuts will b.
profitable. but sweet potatoes would
be the most profitable. The water Il
usually passed down the rows. ant
the ground must not be allowed to be
come too dry before the first irriga
ton. Otherwise, the tendency is t
escape beneath the surface and no
pass along the dead furrow on tn,
surface. One good windmill and tanl
should irrigate as much as five acres
if properly handled.

FARM NOTES.

Disk hard land thoroughly before
listing.
Many practices are followed in
saving seed corn.
Alfalfa should be sown soon afte-
oats or spring wheat seeding
Burn all scrap papers. coffee
grounds. egg shells. and sweepings.
Winter onion sets should be plant
ed in the fall to give the best re-
suits.
A good method to use in caring for
seed corn is to hang it up by the use
of strings.
The seed corn should be picked be-
fore frost and hung in a suitable
place for drying.
Now is the time that all farm build
ings should be fixed up for winter;
don't wait till snow flies.
Alfalfa can be threshed with an or
binary clover huller the same as 9TH
err species of the clover plant
1t does not pay to buy commercial
fertilizers TO supply what We have
wasted by ignorance or carelessness.
If your soil has been shallow plowed
the best thing is to only go a couple
inches deeper each fall until you reach
the desired depth.
1t is said that the production of
farm yard manure in this country now
represents value greater than the
total value of the corn crop.
Brick and cement are about as
cheap as lumber and last many times
as long. 1t is certainly a waste to
use much wood for floors or stills.
1t costs from s25 TO $40 an acre to
grow potatoes. In addition to this
cost must be added the depletion of
the soil which is great in the case of
the potato crop.

S35 a ton. each pound of digestibe
protein will cost less than Az cents.
If corn is worth s25 ton. each pound
of protein will cost about 16 cents a
pound In other words. a pound OF
protein in corn will cost nearly four
times as much as a pound of protein
in cottonseed meal. This clearly
shows that the dairy farmer will lose
money If he purchases corn to feed
his COWS. providing. of course. that
cottonseed meal is available. But If
cottonseed meal is not available other
feeding stuffs can be had. The buyer
of grain feeds should consider his
purchase in this light.

Spinach is one of the best things to
grow.
Fifteen to 20 ears of corn will plant
an acre.
Don't use barb wire if you can
avoid it.
Productive soil must contain a large
amount of vegetable matter.
There is no better fertilizer for
grass than farmyard manure.
Potatoes make a fairly good crop
with which to follow millet.
There is no more convenient place
to haul the manure than to the grass
land.
Small patches of Quack grass should
be dug out with forks and the roots
burned
Putting small gasoline engine on
the grain or corn binder is a new
wrinkle to save horse flesh.
Those who have not already saved
their SEED corn, however. must do so
from the product as il is husked.
Seed corn must be selected early
enough so that II may have plenty Of
time to dry before cold weather.
Cover crops are divided into two
classes. based upon whether or MOI
they add any considerable amount of
food
Cover crops, when plowed under, i'm
prove the physical condition of the
soil. making it porous and of better
filth.
Farmers operating on a large scale
often keep in Geographic or telephon-
ic connection with the market to
which their products are consigned.
Millet is rather hard on the fer
tility Of the land. but an ordinarily
rich corn belt soil should yield two
good crops of millet in succession.
A piece of rubber hose about a wire
pail handle offers a splendid safe
guard against cutting the hand when
carrying cement and other heavy
stuff.
The manner in which the corn is
stored is not so important so long
as some method is used which will
permit a free circulation of air all
about the ears.

Marketing Vegetables.

The successful marketing of vege-
tables. beyond doubt is the most Sc
rious question of all for commercial
growers. In many instances it is APP
parently impossible to make ship
ments to the city and realize a fair
profit. This condition is due TO high
freight or express charges. unscrupu-
lous dealers and too many middle
men. There is too much difference be-
tween the price received by the pro
Queer and that paid by the consumer,
and this is the primary cause of the
high cost of living in the large cities.

The farmer makes the most money
who devotes his fields to the growing
of crops to feed stock, making use of
all the raw products at home, thereby
not only saving much of the cost OF
transportation. bpt also maintaining
the fertility of the soil. Taking every
thing into consideration. corn will
probably produce more food per acre
for domestic animals than any other
plant, and there are but few feeds
which can be fed in a greater variety
of ways.

year resulting from careless firing
and waste of coal and oil. The first
