RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY
ltched So He Could Not Sleep

"On July II, 1909, we left Boston for
a trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in Ireland
few days nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to doc
tor who gave us medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form of
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. 1t
irritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
1t developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face
when we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and 1t used to
Itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with 1t at different
times 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura

cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-

THISTLES IN DRY COUNTRY
Extent to Which This Pest Prevails
is Positively Acknowledgements
Should Fight IT,

The extent 10 which this pest pre-
walls in dry areas is positively alarm
ing Where grain crops are grown
every year, the thistles come in and
take possession of the crop in dry
year. The possession is SO complete
in many instances and the thistles
grow so closely that they cannot make
a rank growth. They not only smother
the grain, but they crowd each other
to such an extent that they cannot
possibly make a strong growth. In
some areas this is true OF whole
fields and of every field in which grain
is grown in a dry year such as the
present, says a writer In the Dakota
Farmer. / speak not from hearsay,
but from observation.
What is to be done to meet the
evil? OF course where every farm
grows Russian thistles in an unfenced
country, 1t will be impossible to keep
any farm absolutely free from the
thistles. 1t should be possible, how
ever, to prevent them from doing
great damage.
The summer-fallow will remove
them from, the surface soil for the time
being, providing the work is thorough,
but of course they may roll over the
| land and strew seed on 1t the follow
| ing autumn or winter.
Land may be plowed Immediately
when the grain is removed. This will
| prevent much seed from maturing
that would otherwise mature, and 1t
will prevent the plants from being
carried elsewhere by the wind. The
| objection to this lies In the difficulty
! found In doing this work at such a
| time.
Winter rye may be probably grown
on such land. Preparing the land for
rye will be hard on the thistles The
following spring the rye may be har.
rowed two or three times. This will be
hard on the thistles and good for the
rye. If winter wheat can be success
fully grown, similar results may be
made to follow.
Growing a crop Of corn and caring
for 1t properly will go far toward
| cleaning piece of land thus infested
in single season. Some of the seeds
may live over until the spring, but the
seeds of Russian thistles seldom live
more than two years.
Much may also be accomplished b,
narrowing spring grain The graiI
may be narrowed two to four times
with much profit to the grain and will
great injury to the thistles. It is no
the purpose in this paper to discus
the exact methods of narrowing. Thi
is very effective way Of destroying
these plants. If all farmers were t
fight the pest as outlined, 1t woul
cease to be seriously harmful.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Oats for the brood sows WIN pro-
duce better muscle for the pigs.
Don't rush matters when loading
fat hogs. A little haste may kill fat
porker.
Pneumonia kills many pigs before
the herd gets used to sleeping in damp
pens or drafts.
The young boars that are to be de-
veloped for breeding purposes should
be selected at an early age.
For the breeding Of mules select
mares that have good sized, roomy
bodies and short, strong limbs.
Hang the windows SO that the wind
will shoot overhead when they are
open, and not right on the cows.
There is hardly any reasonable
limit on the price farmer can af-
ford to pay for good brood SOW.
Frequent change to fresh pasture is
one Of the best ways to stimulate the
growth of both the grass and the pigs.
The dreaded gap between fall and
spring pasturing has been successful,
ly spanned in this country by the silo.
1t is good plan to soak shelled
corn for the hogs and II 1t is ground
before it is soaked, SO much the bet
ter
| 1t is generally advisable to study
an environment Of locality before Sc
lecting particular breed of live
stock.
Give the young boar as many kinds
of food as can reasonably be provided
but do not make sudden changes In
his diet
After the pigs have been put into
the fattening pen in the fall they
should be fed all that they will cal
| with q relish.
| If little rape seed is sprinkled II
with the rye, variety Of feed will be
provided, and the hogs will do ever
better than upon rye alone.
The special care Of the young boar'
should commence at weaving time
when they should be separated from
the gifts and other hogs placed in ,
yard away from the rest of the herd.

Yield per acre
Soil Treatment.

Summarizing these results, Prof. l..
A. Merrill, in recent bulletin, report
ing seven years Investigations in dry
farming methods, says: THE writer's
opinion is that on deep, heavy clay
soils, blowing to depth of ten inches
will insure as good and possibly better
results than blowing to a greater
depth, but that on lighter soils an oc-
casional blowing to depth of fifteen
to eighteen inches Is advisable.
While the results above mentioned
are not applicable to all sections, and
we would not, of course, recommend
blowing the land to a depth of ten
inches regardless of local conditions,
we believe they are of value in call
ing the attention of our readers to the
fact that the average farmer is not
blowing his land deep enough. Those
who are blowing their stubble lands
this fall in anticipation of droughty
conditions next year should pillow their
land from one to two inches deeper
chan they have been doing In the past
Those who have been blowing six or
seven inches deep will undoubtedly
Improve the producing power of their
land by blowing seven or eight inches
this fall, while those who have been II
the habit of blowing only four or five
inches in depth may we'll pillow two
inches deeper. This, Of course, is only
a general statement, and each person
must determine for himself what hi
may reasonably expect from deeper
| blowing. However, as a general propo
sition there Is no question but tina
we have reached the stage when W.
must work our land deeper and give /
more surface cultivation.
If deeper blowing conserves NOR
moisture in the arid belt, there is nj
reason why it should not also do thu
same in the humid belt No one knows
of course, whether next year will be
dry one or not, but even IL we shout
have a normal rainfall our soils vii
still be short of moisture We neve
have what is ordinarily called we

DEPTH FOR FLOWING
Methods Of TiIlage May Be Look
ed Into With Profit.
Some OF Western Experiment Stations
Reached Conclusion That Excess
sIvely Deep Flowing Not
Always Profitable.

In these dry years farmers In the
humid belt may with profit look into
the methods of soil tillage OF the dry
farmers. There was time when the
dry farmer talked about shallow plow-
ing and surface cultivation, claiming
that stirring the soil deeply left II
loose and open and resulted In loss
of moisture This was before suo-sur-
face packers and other dry farming
machinery came into use. When the
big traction engines came into use ana
plows, discs, and other tillage machin-
cry could be hauled by means OF me-
chanical power. experimenting In deep
blowing, subsoiling, subsequent discing
and sub-surface packing became COM
mon and before long deep blowing be-
came the rule. 1t is not uncommon
for dry farmers to pillow to de pth OF
is inches, and eight to ten inches Is
now the usual depth, says the Farmer
and Breeder. They are plowing to
that depth with horses, usually using
from five to six on gang pillow.
Naturally some of the western ex-
pertinent stations have been studying
soil tillage questions under arid condi-
lions and they have come to the con
clusion that excessively deep blowing
is not profitable, but that depth OF
eight to ten inches, as rule, gives
the most remunerative results. For q
period of five years, on four different
fields, the Utah experiment station
has obtained the following average re-
suits with wheat:

Forms Potash on Vegetables.

One Of the most puzzling points In
the use of fertilizers Is the effect OF
the various forms of potash. Some
vegetables and fruits seem to thrive
best in muriate Of potash. Others give
better yields when treated with sui
phate of potash. Even the garden
vegetables seem to have their prefer
ence, according to recent tests at the
Maine experiment station. Thus rhu-
barb gives a much heavier yield with
muriate of potash, while onions, cauli.
flower and asparagus give heavier
crops with sulphate. orchard fruits,

On one of the fields included in the
four fields referred to in the above
table, blowing to a depth of 10 inches
gave the highest yield-23.4 bushels
per acre. On the other three fields
blowing over 10 inches in depth gave
the highest yields, yet the difference
was not sufficiently large to offset the
extra cost of the deeper blowing and
subsoiling. On two other fields, during
1907 and 1908, the following average
yields were obtained from different
depths of blowing:
