PICK CHICKENS BY VACUUM.

Can chickens be picked by the
vacuum cleaner process? II SO, there
will be great saving OF labor.
New Jersey man who raises broilers
for the market had his attention called
to the subject when his wife bought
vacuum cleaner for use around the
house. When the idea occurred to
him that the vacuum cleaner might
be utilized to pick feathers, he set the
machine at work at full speed, and
rubbed the nozzle over a broiler. Even
the pin feathers were removed and no
smuggling was needed, says the MilWau-
kee Evening Wisconsin. Then ne
thought he would save the feathers,
and in place of the bag to receive the
dust he tied pillow castings to the re-
ceiving end of the tube. This plan
worked well, too, and he can pick his
broilers and make feather pillows at
the same time. If his plan lowers the
price of broilers the chicken man will
receive the thanks OF grateful pub
lie. There is only one chance for cr1t1-
cism Of the summary process here de-
scribed, and that is that 1t packs
feathers into pillow-cases without
cleaning them, which OF course will
not do But the picking plan is great.
If vacuum cleaners can be made to
pluck fowls they will relieve farmers
much to put gray into their lives, and
will mark a new era in the triumph OF
machinery over hand labor.

the cause Of the explosion that re-
suited in the death of ten men and
the serious injury of ten others in the
O'Gara mine No. 9, mile south of

A key of powder exploded and ig-
nited black damp. There was heavy
blast and the roof of the mine fell In
fifteen men caught by cave-in some
distance from the entrance escaped by

That more lives were not lost was
due to the fact that the shift was

Although golfers walk miles over
the links, a specialist In nervous dis
eases says that the general idea of the
players that they are getting great
benefit from the walking is all wrong.
This is about the way he explains It:
New, | don't wish to say that playing
golf isn't good exercise. but admit it
is one of the best. The great benefit,
however, does not come from the walk
ing, but from the pure, open air, the
diversion of the players minds from
everyday cares, and the actual exer.
else they get by swinging the clubs"

TALE OF HOMESICK PONY

Twelve years ago George Lawrence
rode from Menard county, Texas, to
a point in Louisiana, 20 miles west
of New Orleans The animal ridden
was a native Texas pony. Several
times. shortly after his arrival in Lou
isiana, the pony got out of the in.
closure where it was kept and started
back TO Texas, one time covering Sc
miles of the way before it was caught.
Early in January, this year. the pony
was missing, and was believed TO have
been stolen. Search was made at
the time. but no clue to the where
abouts of the pony could be obtained.
Then Lawrence got a letter from an
old friend in Menard county, telling
him that the pony had come back
20 the plains of Texas and had been
recognized by the brand. The animal
had gone 500 miles between the Lou
isiana point and it's old home in Me
nard county, finding its way back &c
it's nativity after a lapse of twelve
years.

DOCTOR PRESCRlBES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

II wish to let you know of a couple
of recent cures which l have made
by the use of the Cuticura Remedies.
Last August, Mr.. - of this city
came to my office, troubled with a
severe skin eruption. 1t was dermatitis
in its worst form. 1t started with a
slight eruption and would affect most
parts of his body, thighs, elbows,
chest, back and abdomen-and would
terminate in little pustules. The itch
ing and burning was dreadful and he
would almost tear his skin apart, try
ing to get relief. / recommended all
the various treatments l could think
of and he spent about fifteen dollars
on prescriptions, but nothing seemed
to help him.
"In the meantime my wife,, who
was continually suffering with a slight
skin trouble and who had been try
ing different prescriptions and meth
DDS with my assistance, told me she
was going to get some of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them fair trial.
But as I did not know much about
whether it would help her. Her skin
would thicken, break and bleed, es-
pecially on the fingers, wrists and
arms. could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first ap-
piled the warm baths of Cuticura
Soap and applications of Cuticura
Ointment she saw a decided improve
ment and in a few days she was COM
pletely cured.
Il lost no time In recommending
the Cuticura Remedies to Mr.. -,
and this was two months ago. l told
him to wash with warm baths of the
Cuticura Soap and to apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment generously. Believe
ne, from the very first days use Of
the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly
relieved and today he is completely
cured through their use. I have great
faith in the Cuticura Remedies and
shall always have a good word for
them now that I am convinced of
their wonderful merits" (Signed) B.

stated day, when with the others
who have passed away during the
year, it is buried.
