ECZEMA IN RED BLoTCHEs

205 Kanter Ave, Detroit, Mich
Some time last summer / was taken
with eczema. 1t began in my hair
first with red blotches, then scaly,
spreading to my face. The blotches
were red on my face, dry and sealy,
not large; on my scalp they were
larger, some scabby. They came on
my hands. The inside of my hands
were all little Jumps as though full of
shot about one-sixteenth of an inch
under the skin. Then they went to
the outside and between and all over
my fingers. 1t also began on the bot
toms of my feet and the calves of my
legs, and itch, oh, my! l never had
anything like it and hope never will
again. The itching was terrible My
hands got SO could scarcely work.
Il tried different eczema ointments
but without results. also took medi-
cine for it but it did no good. 1 saw
the advertisement for a sample of
Cuticura Ointment and Soap and sent
for one. They did me so much good
bought some more, using them as
per directions, and in about three
weeks was we'll again. Cuticura Soap

SEEKS HER HUSBAND AT 100
kittitas squaw : -esses In Finery to

Spokane, Wash.-A tale of the 10y
atty of an Indian squaw comes from
Ellenburg. where odd Julia" Hansen,
as the whites know her, has donned
her f1nery at 100 and is endeavoring
to WOO back the husband who has
deserted her. She has attracted much
attention on the streets as day by day
she has sought the runaway He has
not returned to her yet, but she be-
lieEes that his old love will be re-
awakened in time.
Julia is the last of the chieftain-
esses of the Sockley tribe of Kitti-
tas Indians. She and her sisters
have been we'll known to the white
settlers since the region was first
invaded. The three Of them once
owned more than 1000 horses and
much land, but the property was
largely dtssipated by the husbands.
who were unable to withstand white
temptations. These derelictions,
however, did not shake the loyalty
of the squaws. Old Nancy, another OF
the sisters, for years led her blind
husband about with every evidence of
devotion, so that they become known
as the Darby and Joan of Kittitas
Valley.
Julia met her husband more than
eighty years ago at one of the great
councils of the Kittitas tribe.

Helpful Article On Growing
Alfalfa In Kentucky
Alfalfa In Kentucky

Alfalfa demands certain soil condi-
tions before it will thrive. Provide these
conditions and it is probable that it
can be grown on any soil in the State.

Cutting aud Curing Alfalfa

Alfalfa is ready to cut when part of
the blooms have appeared. AS the
plants do net always bloom, it is safe
to rely upon this indication however.
The best method of determination is by
examining the crown of the plant.
When the young shoots or buds appear
the alfalfa should be cut. Do not delay
cutting, or the next crop will be in
jured
The best hay is made when most of
the curing is done in the shock. The
bay should be allowed to wilt, but the
leaves should not become dry. 1t should
then be raked into small windrows and
shocked. After curing in the shock
for day or so, depending upon the
weather, the shocks should be opened,
and after few hours drying the hay is
in condition to be hauled in.

good crops of alfalfa can be grown. 1t
can be furnished by bone-meal, acid
phosphate, and perhaps ground rock
phosphate. Bone meal is a reliable
source. At least three to four hundred
pounds the acre should be applied
broadcast after the land is prepared
for seeding, and should be disked in.
Probably there is sufficient potass-
ium in all of our soils to last for great
many years. This becomes available
rapidly enough for plant requirements
in soils well supplied with organic
matter.
Soils in lifeless condition through
exhaustion of organtic matter are not
suited for alfalfa. The organtic con-
tent must be increased either by apply
ing manure or by blowing under green
crops

Perfect Drainage

Alfalfa requires a perfectly drained
soil. The roots must have air as well
as moisture. No soil is well enough
drained for alfalfa when the water
stands nearer than three feet from the
surface for more than two or three days
even in a wet time. The drainage
may be tested by digging three or four
feet and watching closely to see how
long water stands. If the water stands
for a longer period than stated above
tile drainage is required. Choose the
best naturally drained land on the farm
for alfalfa.
Alfalfa demands an abundance of
carbonate of lime. Few soils even in
the limestone regions contain sufficient
lime for alfalfa requirements. Except
ions are the limestone hills where the
stone is near the surface and the soil
full Of limestone pebbles. A test for
carbonate Of lime may be made with
muriatie acid. Secure some at the

incubation Is Necessary

In order that alfalfa may obtain nit
rogen from the air, nodules must be
produced on the roots of the plants.
Unless these are present the plants will
draw their nitrogen from the soil supply
as in the case of other crops. Inoculat-
ion is usually necessary, as the proper
bacteria for alfalfa are seldom present
in soils new to the crop. incubation
is best accomplished by applying soil
from an established alfalfa field in
which the plants have nodules on the
roots About 200 pounds Of soil the
acre is applied and Immediately har
rowed in SO the hot sun will not destroy
the bacteria. Soil from a sweet clover
patch will also answer. If neither Of
these soils is available, the artificial
laboratory cultures may be used.
Directions for using accompany these
cultures. An inoculated soil is abso.
