II is well to have a good reason for
everything and the main reason for
plowing up pastures is when the for.

Many such fields are found and they

Professor Kennedy Of the Iowa

covering that butchers pay n higher
price for heller beef than for steer
beef Of the same age and condition OF
flesh.
Henry Wallace says this was also a
surprise to him the first time he went
abroad. He found that the butchers
were willing to give premium on
heifers over steers and We found that
in one or two districts Of England
butchers would buy only heifers II
they could get them.
The reasons given by the butchers
are that the grain Of the flesh is finer,
the bone smaller. and therefore the
heifer cuts up better than the steer OF

there was less waste"
There is absolutely no sense or
reason for the discrimination made
against heller beef in the United
States. With COW beef 1t is somewhat
different, for the reason that COW

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. l would scratch those places
until they would bleed before ! could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over, and the flesh un-
derneath would look red and feverlsh.
Sometimes 1t would begin to itch until
It would waken me from my sleep,
and / would have to 60 through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced 1t dry
eczema" l 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 1t off. l got the Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be just what l needed.
"The disease was making great
headway on my system until l got
the Cutlcura 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 l am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which

BEST SOIL FOR DRY FARMING
Only Types Of Land Not Adapted Arc
AIkaII, Heavy Gimbo or Light
Sandy or Gravelly.


By H. F. PATTERSON. Montana Sta
s tion.) Iil
During the past two years we have
received large number of inquiries
as to the best type Of land for dry
farming. There are number OF dif-
ferent types upon which farmers have
had good success by following dry
farming principles. The only types OF
soil that are not we'll adapted to dry
farming are alkali lands, heavy gum
bo lands, or light sandy or grayelly
soils, for the reason that they do not
have a good physical condition. The
clay and alkali soils are so fine IN
texture that It is almost impossible
for the plants to make use OF the
moisture that these soils contain. The
sandy soils are so open and porous
that they will not hold any Of the
water and SO are not we'll adapted to
dry land farming OF these two types
of soil the heavy clay and the sandy,
the former is more desirable.
The subsoil is important in determin'
Ing whether land is well adapted for
dry farming methods or not. The sub.
soil should be Of such nature as to
absorb and hold large amount of wa
ter. 1t is In the subsoil that we find
the moisture reservoir, and unless this
soil Is Of such character rs to hold
the moisture, we are going to have
great deal Of trouble In trying to dry
farm 1t.
The best type Of soil for dry land
farming Is a sandy clay loan, soil
that has the power Of absorbing and
holding large amount of moisture
and that can be very easily worked,
and upon which the dust mulch can be
easily maintained. 1t Is very difficult
to maintain dust mulch upon q
heavy. stip, clay soil, whereas upon
a sandy loan this mulch can be main
tained without great deal Of work.
lhe slope Of the land best adapted
for dry land agriculture varies with
the different localities. Farmers, as a
rule, prefer the land that slopes gently
towards the north or the northeast.
This. however. is not the most impor-
tant point, but one worthy of full con-
sideration when choosing farm. The
north slope escapes the direct rays Of
the sun to degree, is trifle later
starting In the spring, which is fre-
quently an advantage, and is generally
not apt to suffer from hot winds and
drought.

Poultry Long, Openings
High Five Long, Divided
Being Two by Two and one4alf Feet SS. &5

In response to query for design
for poultry house to accommodate
125 fowls. the Country Gentleman
makes the following reply:
For 125 fowls. the arrangement of
the house illustrated is ideal. 1t can
be built on any farm; 1t will shelter
and protect poultry in the coldest
climate; and egg production should be
plentiful in such house during the
coldest winter weather. providing the
poultry are properly fed.
The building is 16 feet wide and 30.
long; the elevation in front is ten
feet and five In the rear. This gives
good fall for the roof and provides
sufficient height for the roosting Of
the fowls. The windows in the front
Of the house have IS panes Of eight
by ten glass In each. Between the
windows are four openings four feet
high and two and one-half wide.
These openings are closed with
frames covered with heavy muslin
cloth. The outside Of these, as well
as the glass windows. are covered with
half.inch mesh poultry netting. This
is to prevent the poultry getting out
and sparrows from flying through the
window. During the summer the
frames. which are hinged at the top
on the inside. are turned up against
the roof. permitting free circulation
of air. When air is required, the win

Revolt Recognized
 In Portugal Now
Decisive Battle of Royalist Uprising Is Expected
 at Oporto
Special from United Press.)

Especial from United PreSS.)
 Vigo. Oct. 7-Severe figthing between the Portuguese Royalists and Republi- cans is reported from across the front fer. Captain Couceiro, in command Of the Royal forces, is said to have been defeated at Braganza, in the north east, and at Vinhaes, 14 miles further west, a Royalist combination is re- ported surrounded.
 The most sensational news, however, comes from Oporto, where it is believ- ed the decisive battle of the uprising will be fought It is asserted that two modern battleships, purchased in some mysterious manner by the Roy alists, are. now off the port ready to lombard the town as soon as the land battle begins. The government has rushed endorsements to the garrison but there are persistent rumors that the city is seriously dissatisfied and many assertions are taking place.
 The crop has been very bad and the peasants are ready to fight for any body who will feed them.
 The Portuguese government, after repeated denials that there was any serious trouble, has at length recog- ndzed the revolt. Premier Chegas has issued a statement that force of 2,500 Royalists has crossed the northern frontier. He adds the rather naive declaration that they were permitted to penetrate the country so that the world might be sure of their hostile intentions before the Republicans in- tercepted them.

At meeting last night of the vari- ous committees of the John F. Rogers Council, K. of C., held in the Bridge port chapter rooms, it was announced that William J.

 At the meeting last night the com mittees planning the Boston visit prac- tically arranged to have the Bridge port delegation leave on the 2:39 train for Boston next Wednesday, afternoon, Oct II. A theatre party will be held in Boston on Wednesday night.
 Many unexpected applications for tickets for the Boston trip came to the committees last evening, swelling the ranks of the delegation to a number that exceeds the former estimates con- siderably.
