STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS

"Some nine years ago : I noticed
small pimples breaking out on the
back of my hands. They became very
Irritating, and gradually became
worse, SO that I could not sleep at
night. I consulted a physician who
treated me q long time, but it got
worse, and 1 could not put my hands
in water. / was treated at the hos
pital, and it was just the same. I vas
told that 1t was a very bad case Of
eczema. Well, I just kept on using
everything that I could for nearly
eight years until I was advised to try
Cuticura Ointment. I did SO, and I
found after a few applications and by
bandaging my hands well up that the
burning sensations were disappearing,
1 could sleep well, and did not have
any itching during the night. I began
after a while to use Cuticura Soap for
a wash for them, and I think by using
the Soap ami Ointment I was much
benefited. ! stuck to the Cuticura
treatment, aud thought If 1 could use
other remedies for over seven years
with no result, and after only having
a few applications and finding eas
from Cuticura Ointment, 1 thought it
deserved a fair trial with a severe

ment and Soap for nearly six months,

Their LAST Hone Gone.

When the minister praised the rasp-
berry jam at Mrs. Green's bountiful
Saturday night supper, he could not
imagine why Angie and Horatio, the
twins, gazed at him so re~proachfully.

cart, which tramps and packs 1t. The
more this is done the better. Ere
quently the stack is made in the form
of a loop SO that the horse and empty
cart return oyer the same drive by
which they entered.
The outside of this stack soon willis,
heats and decays a little, forming an
alright mat, which preserves the
stack as thoroughly az when put in
silos. When feeding 1t out, it is cut
down in sections with a broadax,
though the hay knife is used to some
extent. Native cattle carrying some
flesh are to be preferred. Where the
object is to Craze the following sum-
mer young cattle do not do as well,
are more easily put out of condition,
become tucked up and gaunt, and
when put on grass have not the ca
pacity to eat and consume a sufficient
amount Of grass to make gains. With
them too much of the grazing season
Is lost in recovering a normal condi-
ton. The writer at one time had &C.
casion to weigh the silage and found
that a steer would eat as much as
100 pounds per day of this pea silage,
but at the same time he was drinking
no water. In a herd Of 1875 head the
writer has seen several days pass
without a footprint near the water
supply.
A small amount of hay is fed in
connection with the silage, as is
shown by the hay shed, which is a
necessary part of the equipment. This
hay shed holds from 10 to 20 tons and
has ample capacity for 1875 head.
About a year ago a writer in your
columns cited gains made Of nearly
100 pounds in eight weeks. No n
either in my experience or observa-
ton has made such gains, and u op-
portunities have been exceptionally
good. The writer has weighed his
cattle off the pastures at the end of
the grazing season, shrunk them 8
per cent, and weighed them again at
the beginning Of the grazing season
the following spring, and at the end
of a 30-mile drive they showed a loss
ofs35 pounds per head, from which we
conclude that they lost some flesh,
but grew enough to about hold their
own. This was on pea silage. Corn
silage would have shown up some
what better. In any event they must
be wintered cheaply. The advantage
of selection and buying in the fall is
an important one.

DIE Precautions.

In a town in Georgia there was an
old preacher whose knowledge OF the
world was not wide nor deep, but VINO
conceived It to be a place where, II
one should trust his fellow men, ne
should at the same time keep an eye
on his own interests.
One hot day he pulled OF his coat
and preached a vigorous sermon I'M
der the pines, in his shirt sleeves. AT
the close Of the open-air service one
of his admirers approached him and
said, ~regreTully:
81 don't suppose that you knew that
the editor Of one Of the big New YORK
Sunday papers was here when you
pulled off your coat"
81 reckon I knew 1t well, for Id

as be might be, and anyway, I put my

A certain business man has a curl

He wouldn't sell 1t for $1,000; no, nor

poses, although they did quite a lot
Of work around the farm during the
year.
A pair of horses weighing from
L,400 to 1900 pounds each are heavy
enough for any kind Of farm work,
but many farmers prefer a horse with
more weight
In considering the size of a farm
team, 1t Is well to remember before
the purchase is made what the regu-
Lar duties of the team are to be; for
many farmers who need only one pair
of horses will want to use them on
The road for wagon work as well as to
hook up to the carriage on Sundays.
Therefore, they will not require ex-
ira heavy ones, but rather a pair that
are known as call around" horses, and
II these weigh 1,400 to 1900 pounds
each they will have plenty of size,
and If they are well shaped and have

Two Stations and Two Mares Of Pure

Spreader In Virginia.
Ry q. RI. cLINToN1

By 8. II. CLINTON.)
A little over a year ago l paid a
visit to a breeding farm in the ia
nous valley of Virginia." where Per
cheron horses were raised, and was
struck with the fact that this breed
possessed admirable qualities as farm
horses, as well as city drafters.
Two stations and two mares were
working on a big manure-spreader,
being all driven by one nan These
superb animals were pure-bred Per-
cherons, and averaged 1850 each.
The young stations were easily man
aged, although they were being used
IN the stud
The mares were splendid specimens
Of the breed, and it was a great sight
to see these four magnificent animals
working quietly together.
The compactness of body, the
cleanness of limb and the splendid
structure of their feet, all go to make
the Percheron popular, both as a
tarm horse and a city drafter.
For farm work they do not need to
weigh 1850, as did those four pure
breeds just mentioned, these being

Making Beef.

To make beef at the least cost and
most profit to the producer, the AMI
mails must be kept growing rapidly and
constantly all the time from birth un-
til a year or Ii months old, and then
sent to market. They should bring
more per pound than older beeves be-
cause better. Veal (the flesh Of calves
from six to eight weeks old) brings
more than any other fresh meat in
market, unless it be dollhouse lambs
and there is no good reason why the
flesh of yearlings should not bring
more than the patriarchal beef of old
oxen and superannuated COWS.
