ct can truthfully say Cuticura Rem

years of eczema. About four years
ago I noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger, and not
giving it any attention, it soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.
If / would have them in water for a
long time, they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. could
lay a pin in them. After using all
the salves I could think Of, / went to
three different doctors, but all did
me no good. The only relief got was
scratching.
$50 after hearing so much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, l pur-
chased one complete set, and after
using them three days my hands were
much better. Today my hands are
entirely we'll, one set being all used"

GIVE THE BOY SMALL FLOCK
Plan Given for Coop to Accommodate
Ten or Twelve Fowls and Has
Been Found Satisfactory.
(By MRS. K. A. GRIMES.)

By MRS. K. A. GRIMES.)
If boy has fowls of his own, he
will want to manage them SO as to
keep them separate from the other
poultry on the farm. The following
plan which is arranged to accommo-
date ten or twelve hens and a male.
has been found satisfactory.
The coop in question is five feet
wide and twelve feet long, giving
or six square feet per hen. 1t is six
feet high at the front and four feet
at the back, and is built from cheap
lumber and covered with tarred roof
ing.
The door into the coop is put at one
end of the front wall. 1t is closed with
a frame covered with wire netting hav-
ing a curtain of muslin on the inside
for use in the cold weather. The up
per half of the remaining part of the
front is also left open and covered
with netting, with an inside muslin
curtain.
In the warm weather these curtains
are kept rolled up, but in cold weather
they are let down over the openings.
The only other openings in the coop
are four little square doorways, eight
by ten inches in size.
In the center of the back wall, two
feet above the floor, fasten a frame
two feet wide and three feet long,
carrying two roosting poles. This
frame should be hinged to the wall,
so it can be raised out of the way
when desired.
Under it, foot from the floor,
make a little platform of boards to
catch the droppings. Do not fasten
this anywhere, as you will want to
take it up to clean it.
On the front corners of the roOst-
ing frame put legs a foot long, which
should rest on this dropping board
when the roost is lowered in place.
Have both resting poles the same
height, not set so the frame will slant.
On the ceiling, directly above the
roost, nail strips of inch board so as
to make a frame the same size, or a
trifle- larger, than the roost itself.
To this tack strips of burlap-sack-
ing long enough to reach the floor,

she will, barring the ravages Of black
head disease, raise 80 per cent. of
them. If she is allowed to roam she
may raise as many, but 1t will de-
pend largely upon their fortuitous
escape from water, cold and animal
foes. Their survival may also de-
pend upon the individual character
istics of the hen as a brooder, and
upon the care which she receives.
Poults improperly brooded during
the first week begin to die in the
second. They seem at this early
age particularly subject to lung and
abdominal troubles. Overheating and
chilling, and rapid changes from hot
to cool conditions, affect them fatally.
The connection between the lungs and
the abdominal air sacs is such that
both are affected by colds. One OF
the most common results of these in
Examinations is a suspension OF eating
followed by the absence OF ingesta IN
the intestine. The consequence OF
this is that the white material ex-
creted by the kidneys becomes more
apparent, and gives rise to the symp-
tom called white diarrhea. While this
Inflammation may or may not be due
to a specific germ, the disease is so
readily prevented by proper temper
ature conditions during the first three
weeks of the poult's life that it mat
tiers little whether it is a germ disease
or not. The disease is on the same
basis as pneumonia in human beings,
since germs in that case may cause
the disease, but they seem to get their
first foothold by determinations pro-
duced in the tissues as a result OF
changes of temperature.

INDIVIDUAL HOUSE FOR HOGS
improved Shelter for Swine Should be
Built as Closely as Possible
Good Dimensions.

For twenty years the A style Of in
dividual house has been in use. We
were we'll satisfied with them until
we saw a neighbor using something
that we liked better Then we were
anxious for some Of the old ones to
go to pieces so we could build a few
of the new style to give them trial.
Recently we built three and liked
them so well that we shall take to
pieces the balance of our old-styled
ones and make them go as far as they
will in building the new ones.
The most satisfactory dimensions
are as follows: Six feet square, two
and one-half feet high at the back and
five and one-half feet at front. The
front always to the south. The creep
door, IS inches wide and two feet
high, cut in east end, six inches from
the southeast corner. The larger door,
IS inches wide and four and one-half
feet high, cut in south side at east
corner. Should be built Of the best
matched lumber, battened or tongued
and grooved Of best quality. If metal
is used for the roof it should be laid
over paper or felt Of some kind to

Care of the Brooder,

Brush out the breeders every othe!
day, changing the material used in
floor covering. This may be of bran.
sand sawdust, or paper, but must be
dry. Damp bedding induces disease
every time.
When it is necessary to wash the
brooder choose a warm, sunny day, so
that the chicks will not need it, and
it can be thoroughly dried before re.
turning them at night If these con-
ditions cannot be complied with,
temporary brooder may be used for
the day by means Of a box and one or
two jugs Of hot water we'll wrapped
in flannel, the latter serving the
double purpose Of holding in the heat
and preventing a chick being crowd
ed up and burnt

These managers have no bottoms and
for that reason are light and easy to
handle. They are of fairly large ca
pacity and for that reason are very
handy for the man with but few
sheep, and for the man who some
times wishes to keep a little hay be-
fore his sheep while the pasture is
short. They can be put in corners
and out of the way in manner that
cannot be done with the ordinary
type. When throwing hay down from
the NOW they are much easier to hit
than the common kind as they are
far wider at the top. In length, we
usually make them about eight feet,
as we have more boards of that
length around than of any other.

CEMENT FEED FLOORS BEST
More Expensive Than Others, But Pay
for Difference in Comparative
Iy Short Period.

The writer constructed floor 20x2O
feet last September and has been u.s.
ing it almost constantly and with the
greatest satisfaction. Though it cost
about two weeks Of hard labor and SIS
in cash I almost feel that 1 have a re-
turn for my outlay both in labor and
cash already, says a writer in an ex-
change. Am quite sure / have saved
SIS worth Of feed and believe the ex-
ira labor in carrying out corn, a
basket at a time, through the deep
mud to dry (muddy) spot through
all that bad weather would have al
most equaled the labor of building the
floor. But more than this is the sat-
isfaction OF feeding in this clean and
handy way, which can only be appre-
ciated by trying it.
Our floor was made right beside the
cribs, in what had been a hog wallow.
Stones were gathered from the fields
and laid in the bottom. These were
covered and 1eveled by smaller stones
and coarse gravel, then thick layer
of concrete (eight parts Of gravel to
one Of cement), then the surface coat
Of four or five parts of coarse sand to
one part of cement, the concrete be-
ing forced to the bottom on all sides
to prevent rat invasion. After remov-
ing the board forms, posts were set
on three sides and the same wide
boards were nailed on the inside to the
posts, fitting down to the floor Thus
Enclosed no feed is rooted off the floor,
and the cobs and other waste need not
be cleaned off so often. With bins on
one or more sides all cobs and manure
can easily be scooped into the same
and saved. The floor should be slight
ly lower at one corner for drainage
While constructing our floor posts
were set in the middle, so we could di-
vide it for pigs and hogs, which makes
it very convenient, always having a
clean, dry, handy place to slop and
feed the pigs, and also a place to pen
them up quickly for any kind of treat

prevent moisture forming on the I'M
der side of the roof, which keeps the
floor wet.
It should be built as close as pos
sible. The only ventilation and sun
shine needed can be had at the doors.
When the weather is too cold for safe
narrowing a lantern can be hung to
a rafter on the high side with a short
h rdle across the doors. There is no
need of craw-fishing to get away from
an angry sow.-John NJ Jamison, in

round the coop when they are dropped
in place.
At the lower edges put Stats to
keep them in place, as on the other
curtains. On cold nights this makes
a snug and yet not stuffy sleeping
place for the biddies.
The nest boxes-two are plenty

of the coop. This will be against the
front wall, in the corner farthest from
