I mean the one sitting opposite you?"
The gentleman smiled sardonically
"Oh, he's my brother!" came the
reply.
The lady went scarlet, and her con.

Who Is he?"
The other woman turned scornfully
and angrily upon her.
"Oh, he's only my husband!" came
the hitting reply.

WHITE PIMPLEs ON HEAD

Ransom, 1ll.-"The trouble started
on our baby when he was only about
two weeks old Started like little
white pimples, looked like an old scab
OF blood and matter. His whole head
was covered for few months, then 1t
went to his ear, shoulders, and his
whole body, 1t seemed to como out
thick and sticky on his head, while
on the other parts of his body It was
more like water coming out of the
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread. The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch. Never had a
full nights sleep, restless all night.
THE sores were horrid to look at.
II lasted until he was about two and a
half years old Then We saw an &c.
zema advertisement in the paper to
use -, but 1t did no good. Then
we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. We put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on thick at bed time and put a
tight hood on so he could not scratch
the sores. Then we washed 1t clean
with Cuticura Soap and warm water
twice a day. and he was completely
cured (Signed) Mrs. L. +. Sulzber.

In growing corn for seed the farmer
must first find the variety best adapt
ed to his needs and then work to
bring 1t as near perfection as possible
1t is always best to select the varieties
grown on soil and in the climate
where the seed is to be improved. be
cause the corn plant is peculiarly sen
sitiye to Its surroundings.
\ Corn that grows we'll on certain
! soils will often, If transplanted to 9th
oer soils prove a failure, and the re
verse is true. That is to say, corn
which shows up badly on certain soils
may develop to perfection on other
soils that are rightly adapted to Its
needs.
This is very important factor in
the selection Of seed, and the breeder
should never go far from home for his
seed If he can possibly obtain good
corn that has been grown on soil and
In the climate in which he expects to
conduct his breeding operation.
II he must send away for his seed
however, he should select 1t from that
locality which nearest approaches his
own, both as to soil and climate.
A great deal Of poor seed.corn re-
suits from lrck Of care in the har.
vesting and storing. 1t should be al
lowed to mature thoroughly before be-
ing picked, as immature corn does
not obtain all the plant.food intended
for 1t, consequently its vitality Is
weakened.
Immature corn is hard to keep, as II
Is liable to sprout and unless there Is
good circulation Of air 1t will become
heated and moldy. Seed-corn should
always be selected from the field and
never from the load at the crib.
Selecting seed at the time of gener.
al harvest is Objectionable, because
many times the work Is done late in
the season and in hurry, and the
care Of seed-corn is apt to be neglect.

The stalks from which seed.enrs are
selected should be Of medium size,

These ears should be at convenient

The ear when matured should break

I have learned that the best way ia

Partial Soillnq.

Partial soiling may be practiced to
good advantage on dairy farms where
the silo is not used. as most pastures
get short and poor In the latter part
OF summer or fall. An acre Of corn
planted on a place convenient to the
yards or pasture will be worth a great
deal ut that time. A little green corn
cut and fed will save shrinkage in

stock, which would require n great
deal OF feed to regain II once lost.

give stalks. very high per cent. of
which bear ears in similar manner.
The first month after 1t has been
picked Is the. most critical time in the
handling Of seed.corn. As 1t contains
q large amount of moisture at that
time, 1t must be stored in dry, well
ventilated place. and in such a way
that each ear will be exposed to free
circulation Of air. Seed-corn should
always be stored in the ear. but never
in barrels. boxes, or sacks, or above
large quantities Of grain.
There are many ways of preserving
seed-corn, as by striking the butts on
sharp nails driven through board.
tying ears together in pairs and hang.
ing them over wire, or, by laying
them on racks. Any method that will
provide free circulation of air is de-
sirable.
The corn should be thoroughly
dried and protected throughout the
winter from all sudden or extreme
changes Of temperature or humidity.
1t must never be allowed to freeze be.
fore it is thoroughly dry, as its fer
tility will be affected.
