IRRIGATION IN VERMONT.
Necessity for 1t Considered by S. Har-
greayes.

Garden Irrigation was a topic taken
/ up by S. Hargreaves, gardener at thr
Vermont experiment station, at the re-
cent farmers meeting" in Burlington
Mr.. Hargreaves spoke in part as fol-
lows:
Notwithstanding the fact that irriga
ton is very ancient art, it appears that
many gardeners are slow to make usa
of it, even when crops are unmstakahlY
suffering for want of water. Why is il
that the New Englander is quite will
ing to water his lawn and few vego-
tables or flowers in the back ward vet
is entirely indifferent to extending his
efforts TO the larger area where his crops
intended for market are growing Per-
haps to many it does not seem necessary
to irrigate market garden crops, for Il
has so often happened that they have
matured without such attention in past
years. So it has become habit to let
all corps rustic for themselves for mois-
ture.
This is why Vermont crops have no
insurance against droughts, and is one
reason for her failures and abandoned
farms. Irrigation is not an absolute
necessity for many Vermont crops, yet
| am quite convinced that it might be
used to advantage on some particular
crop almost every year. If one crop
can be saved from destruction, in many
cases it means the difference in profit and
loss when the accounts for the year are
squared up.
Although the weather records for Yer
mont show annual precipitation as low
as twenty-three inches, and a maximum
as high as fifty inches, these are not fig.
ures we can work from as a basis in
figuring out the irrigation problem. The
most important features calling for at
tention are the droughty spells that ap
pear spasmodically, destroying the prof
its of seasons work. These are the
seasons when the gardener should be
making his largest profits by supplying
the market with vegetables and small
fruits when those that depend on the
natural rainfall are unable to mature
products and supply the demand
"The garden is the one department of
the farm that will need attention in the
matter of moisture, for here the most
valuable crops are grown, if we Judge |
from the standpoint of value per acre. /
The fttest subjects for irrigation. then, /.
are the gardens. In no other cases should /
irrigation be attempted without the use |
of considerable Judgment. and the sum
ming up of all the points that might pos
sibly influence the results that spell sue /
cess or failure"

IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Break in Egg Prices Expected Butter
Firm.

/
| Boston, Feb. 2S.-The local market Tor
! eggs is lower and unsettled and it begins
| TO look as though the long expected
break in prices was at hand, as large
quantities OF stock were at the railroad
terminals late yesterday, which will be
available for to-day's market. As much
as 45c dozen was obtained for hennery
eggs late Saturday, and yesterday morn.
ing some further business was done at
that level, but as the day wore on the
offerings increased while the demand
slackened, and at closing time not few
dealers had a surplus.
The prices quoted are those at which
business was done late yesterday, but 1t
is very likely they will be lower to-day.
since there will be available what was
left over yesterday and what comes in
over night Buyers, it might be said,
are not disposed to buy any more eggs
at current prices than they see an i'm
mediate use for.
Higher prices in outside markets foe
butter are responsible for better de-
mand for that product here and the
market is firmer, though prices have not
advanced. The cheese market continues
very firm, as receipts are very light, as
stocks on hand are being steadily re-
duced.

New Facts About Eczema.

For years eczema was thought to bt
incurable, and it is so considered to-da,
by many people. But since the com
pounding of Cadum, eczema is now a
durable disease. Cadum has proved a
blessing to many who have suffered fo1
years from distressing, stubborn and dis
figuring skin diseases. 1t is soothing
and healing to an inhamed, irritated OF
diseased skin. 1t stops the itching at
once, and begins healing with the first
application. 1t is antiseptic, and when
applied to an open sore or wound pre-.
vents infection from disease germs. Ca
dun quickly acts upon eczema, pimples,
sores, blotches, ulcers, eruptions, rashes,
rough skin, chafngs, itching piles, etc,

ers, called at the Taylor house. Their
eyes stared Their lips were tightly
drawn. They shook their heads as IL
their dreams were bad. There was a
fifteenth who was wide awake. He
explained to Joe and his wife that
sleepwalking had become catching and
that whatever the fourteen somnam-
bulists did they could not be held re-
sponsible for.
But what are they going to do"
was asked
The question was answered by Joe
and his wife being picked up like bags
of oats and carried TO the mill pond.
Not word from one of the fourteen.
Some sighed and moaned in their sleep,
but no talking.
"All have weak hearts and must not
be awakened too suddenly" whispered
the fifteenth.
Mr. and Mrs. Taylor were lifted up
and flung into the water They were
hauled out and flung in again. They
were toyed with until they choked and
gasped and coughed and strangIed and
were half drowned Then the four
teen silently disappeared. and the df-
teenth whispered:
"You'lI get this every time there il
any further sleepwalking. It's a sure
cure"
And so it was. Next morning Joe
Taylor limped to work and thence on
to the day of his death brass band
might have played in his bedroom
without awakening him for midnighr
saunter.

al have suffered from the same trouble
tpainful finger nailsl at different periods OF
my life. The first time of its occurrence,
perhaps twenty-five years ago, after trying
home remedies without getting helped, |
asked my doctor to prescribe for me, but It
was not for year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The inflammation and
suppuration began at the base of the finger
nail. Sometimes IT was so painful that l
had to use poultice to induce suppuration.
After the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period of
inflammation, possibly not more than week
or two afterwards. These frequent infam-
nations resulted in the loss of the nail.
Perhaps ten years later, | began again
to suffer from the same trouble. Again [
tried various remedies, among them a pre-
scription from a doctor of friend of mine,
who had suffered from like trouble. This
seemed to help somewhat for a time but it
was not a permanent cure, next tried pre-
scription from my own doctor, but this was
so irritating to the sensitive, diseased skin
that could not use 1t. ! began to use Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment. ] had used the
Cuticura Ointment previously on my chill

the Soap exclusively, but rubbed the Cuti-

night thoroughly, and as often beside as /

time they were apparently well. There was
