According to the German school OF
medicine. eczema is local disease.
and not caused by bad blood, External
treatment is, therefore, of the greatest
curative value. This view is proven
to be correct by the results following
the external use of Cadum. the new
skin remedy. Itching is stopped as
soon as Cadum is applied. the skin
heals quickly. and the disease disap-
pears. Many other troubles besides
eczema also yield readily to it, such as
redness, pimples, rash, roughness
scaly skin, chafings, acne. sores, ulcers
eruptions, hives, letter, itch, herpes
psoriasis, ringworm. itching piles, etc
II costs but 10 cents to buy a trial box
of Cadum. Even the very poor can
thus afford to use it.

else. How pleasant to see nelghbor-
hood which has a record of thrift,
good homes, good schools, progressive
men and Women. Such neighborhoods
are valuable asset. Farms in such
neiehborhoods are worth money and
will grow in value each year. On
the other hand, too often, poor
schools, no churches, an air OF back
woodism. Farms in such neighboI
hoods decrease in value. Good thrifty
citizens shun them. If a progressive
man settles in such a neighborhood
he soons sells out for what he can get.
He is not in sympathy with his
neighbors, and the result is that only
families viciously inclined will stay.
Therefore it is the duty of every
farmer to not only see that his own
farm is growing in value each year,
but to devote little of his time to
his neigh orhood. Help the schools,
help the church, join the grange or
the farmers union, join the fruit
growers association or the livestock
association, and give them little
time. In the long run these will not
only make better communities but
they will have an actual money value;
more than he may be able to realize.
Finally and probably the most i'm
portant of all this preachment; we
should all take stock of ourselves to
see if any growth has taken place the
last year, it stronger character has
been formed, if we are better prepared
for the struggles of life. Ii they are,
then we may welcome the new year,
and it will bring increased happiness
and increased welfare. But il life
has backslidden, if the money passion
has absorbed all our efforts, if there
has been a moral backsliding, or
loosening of the fibre that builds,
then the new year offers little that
will benefit the man or woman.

Beginning a New Year.

By the time this issue of The Ranch
reaches it readers, the new year will
have we'll been started on it's way, but
a new years sermon will be APP
propriate. The year 1910 with all it's
successes, failures, pleasures and
heart burnings has passed into the
realms of things that we're. The year
1911 with its hopes, it's aspirations
and it's future, good or bad, is with
as. The beginning Of each year is
splendid time to stop and take stock;
to see il we have advanced or receded,
in the time that has added a year to
our age, to see if we are better qualifi
ed for the future or if we have lost
ground.
The farmer should ascertain if his
fam is in better condition than a
year ago, or worse. He should ascer
tain if he has more stock and better,
or if he has less and that poorer. He
should ascertain whether he has rob-
bed the soil or if he is keeping it to it's
original vitality. He should ascertain
whether be has more debts, and if he
has, why? Debts are not alwys bad
thing. All great fortunes are builded
upon debt. 1t is not the amount Of
the debt that encumbers a business
or farm, that is bad, so much as lack
of the ability to meet it's obligations,
to pay it's interests and reduce the
principal. If man goes into debt
for a good farm, or for better stock,
or better improvements it is a good
debt. 1t is often the making Of the
farm and the added value will offset
many times the debt. Such farmers
have no cause to complain. Ii debt
has been added and the business or
the farm has not been benefited, then
the farmer or the manager must take
stock and discover why no advance
ments have been made, and why a
larger debt has been created. And in
all events he must cut down the eX
pense or the business or the farm will
soon be sold and another failure
reported.
But there is still another consider
alton besides the money consideration
for each farmer to ponder. Every
member of community at the first of
the year should ask themselves whether
the community, in which they live,

"The Spraying Issue" 1t is one of
the best issues ever published for the
