Fine Work aY Southern Bows

A few years ago the average yield
Of corn to the acre in South Caro-.
line was fraction over eight bushels:
last year the crop had grown to an
average Of Is and a fraction bushels,
This shows growth In intelligence of
culture as well as in quantity, says a
writer in The American Magazine.
The cause of the increase has been
the boys of South Carolina. and in
fact Of the whole south. Jerry Moore.
who in 1910 produced 228 bushels of
corn on enc acre of land, is the cham.
pion Of an army of over 5000 BOYS in
South Carolina alone enrolled in the
Boys Corn clubs Of the south. They
have not only been learning what can
be done on the farms with scientific
application Of fertilizers and a deeper
furrowing of the plow, but they have
taught their elders.

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

When my first baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
scale. Then it would break out
again and it spread all over his head
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
1t kept spreading until 1t was on his
hands and arms. / bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time.
He had it about six months when a
friend told me about Cuticura. l sent
and got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent.
a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box OF
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to i'm.
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head After
taking two bottles OF Resolyent, two
boxes of Ointment and three cakes of
Soap he was sound and well, and never
had any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. l don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
cura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap several times since
to use for cuts and sores and have
never known them to fail to cure what
I put them on. Cuticura Soap is the
best that l have ever used for toilet
purposes" (Signed) Mrs F. E. Har-
mon, R. F. D. 2, Atoka, Tenn, Sept.
10, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap and
Ointment are sold everywhere, a sam
pie of each, with 32-page book, will
be mailed free on application to "Cuti.
cura," Dept 16 L. Boston.

Clean up the poultry yard.

Clean up the poultry yard
Sow a patch Of cowpeas near the
poultry yard.
1t is a mistake to try to keep more
than one variety Of chickens.
If the hens lay soft-shelled eggs,
it is a sign they need some lime and
green food.
Always save the young ducks that
make the best growth for next sea-
sons breeders.
Select the breeders carefully from
the best matured fowls and those that
lay most freely.
When only a few fowls are to be
sold, the home market is usually the
most satisfactory.
The hens that are laying freely
need an abundance OF good, clean
water at all times.
A warm, dry board floor that can
be easily cleaned is the right place
to keep the chicks.
Kerosene is a great disinfectant to
be used in the roosts and nests. 1t

LUCKY MISTAKE.
Grocer Sent Pkg. of Postum and
Opened the Eyes of the Family.

A lady writes from Brookline, Mass:
"a package of Postum was sent me
one day by mistake.
81 notified the grocer, but finding
that there was no coffee for breakfast
next morning I prepared some Of the
Postum, following the directions very
carefully.
"It was an immediate success in my
family, and from that day we have
used it constantly, parents and chill
dren, too-for my three rosy young
sters are allowed to drink it freely at
breakfast and luncheon. They think it
delicious, and l would have a mutiny
on nay hands should I omit the be-
loved beverage.
my husband used to have very
delicate stomach while we were using
coffee, but to our surprise his stom-
ach has grown strong and entirely well
since we quit coffee and have been on
Postum.
Noting the good effects in my fam
lily / wrote to my sister, who was
coffee topper, and after much persua-
sion got her to try Postum.
"She was prejudiced against it at
first, but when she presently found
that all the ailments that coffee gave
her left and she got well quickly she
became and remains a thorough and
enthusiastic Postum convert.
"Her nerves, which had become
shattered by the use of coffee have
grown healthy again, and today she is
a new woman, thanks to Postum"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich, and the cause why will
be found in the great little book, "The
Road to Wellyille," which comes In
pkgs.
Ever read the above letter: A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full OF human
interest.

the streets, going about and meeting
his many friends. He was already the
favorite of the Democratic party
which was then all powerful, and re
NAMED so for several years.
He was then vastly different from
the man that I saw later in Quincy
That was in 1850, when he was a sena-
tor. He had grown fieshy, his face had
lost the glow of youth, his cheeks were
heavy and his eyes lacked their for
mer sparkle. His step was heavy
Eight years had wrought great
change.
THAT was the last time that I saw
him, but once again I heard his voice.
In 1853, the year Of the Lincoln-Doug-
las debates, l lay sick in Bloomington.
Senator Douglas came to address a po-
litical gathering. The meeting was
held two blocks away, and yet from
that distance and over the heads OF
an immense crowd I heard his great
voice booming forth. 1t was a forced
voice, raised so that all might hear
but at the distance [ could not dis
tinguish the words.
Il also saw Abraham Lincoln and
heard him speak. My first view OF
him was in Springfield, where, as a
boy, I went with my father and was
left alone in the law offices of Edward
Baker. AS I sat there a man came in
peculiar in appearance by reason OF
his great height and his ungain1iness
He sat down and drew his legs under
the chair. 1t made me think of 9
grasshopper. Then some one came in
and addressed him as Mr.. Lincoln
"Of the two men I believe that Lin
coin had the advantage before an audi
ence, because he seemed more of the
people, though Douglas did not hold
himself aloof."

Value of Han Manure

Have you got room to house your
hen manure? This may seem like a
peculiar question, but there is such
great fertilizing value in it that it is
well to place it where it will not leach
out by being exposed to the storms of
winter and spring. With it you can
raise luscious watermelons, such as
you never grew before, even on the
virgin sod. You can raise cucumbers
by the bushel on a small patch Put

The Power of Music.

Euripides (B. C. 4S0-4o6) was one of
The celebrated tragic Greek poets who
discoursed on music in this wise: mo
Dne has found out how to soothe with
music and sweet symphony those bit
Ter pangs by which death and sad
misfortune destroy families; and yet
10 assuage such griefs by music were
wisdom" The music OF the Greeks
evidently had the power to stir or
calm emotions, although neither melo-
tic nor harmonic as the terms are IN
lerstood today.

Charcoal for Poultry.

Charcoal is a very essential con-
ditioner and fowls will keep much more
healthy if a supply is at hand for them,
even though we must invest a few
cents with the dealer in order to
get it.
To get our supply Of charcoal when
we prune our orchard trees we pile
the brush, burning it in a heap, and
can get a sufficient supply of charcoal
from the ash heap, by sitting, to supply
our flock of fowls through the season.

A little miss of five years was under
the ban of disobedience. She had been
told to put away her playthings, as 1t
was near bedtime. She did not obey
the command, and, when forced to do
so, gave way to a petulant display of
temper Her father, who was up
stairs, heard the commotion, and be-
ing made acquainted with the cause,
summoned the child to his presence.
Irma started to the stairs, but sud
denly made turn, dashed along the
hall, and out of the house. Of course
she was soon captured, but her excite
ment was so great that she was put to
bed at once. Mothers efforts soothed
the child and then she was asked:
why did you run away when your
father called your" The reply came
promptly enough: you don't sup

The Useful Brush.

In good housekeeping a collection OF
brushes is found to be Indispensable.
A large brush made of fiber, for clean
ing the sink; a small painters brush
for greasing pans and griddies; small
scrubbtng brush for cleaning potatoes
and other vegetables, and fat brush
with a narrow back and long flexible
brtstles for slipping behind radiators
to disIodge the dust; a small camePs
hair water color brush is also fine to
dip in melted chocolate or colored
icing for decorating cake.
