About two months ago my hands

skin would scale on, and the good
flesh would burn and itch dreadfully.
When my hands first started to get
sore, there were small blisters Ike wa
ter blisters which formed. They
itched dreadfully. 1t just seemed as
though / could tear the skin all on. I
would scratch them and the skin would
peel OF. and the flesh would be all
red and crack open and bleed. It wor-
ried me very much, as l had never
had anything the matter with my skin.
! was SO afraid ! would have to give
up my employment.
my doctor said he didn't think 1t
would amount to anything. But 1t kept
getting worse. One day saw a piece
in one Of the papers about a lady who
had the same trouble with her hands.
She had used Cuticura Soap and Oint.

Ancient, indeed. are the prerogatives
that are accorded to women In leap

tell Just how or when they originated.
However. the ancient Scottish parlia-
ment gives US date as well as law
upon which to hang the right OF wom-

as convention forbids them to do In
other years.
In the year 1928 this body passed
Law which, in its quaint old English,
expressly conferred on womankind the
right to propose marriage in leap year.
Here is the law, just as It was written

good sheep feed but should not be
depended upon entirely.
Bulky weeds such as clover hay.
cow-pea hay or Soy-bean hay are all
good sheep feeds. II the sheep have
access to some winter pasture It is a
great help in keeping them in condi-
ton. Succulent foods such as turnips
and other vegetables are good winter
feeds. The fact that a sheep win
exc out an existence where other
farm animals would starye is no evil
dence that it is economy to allow It to

FORAGE Plants

For four important reasons, the clo-
vers are among the most valuable Of
forage plants. First the manurial cost
Of their production IL exceptionally
low. Second. they are richer In pro-
tein than most Of the forage crops;
far richer than the grasses. Third,
they enrich the soil In nitrogen an
well as subsoil II, so that the follow
ing crops are almost invariably good.
Fourth. In permanent mowings they
