daughter who is ten months old was
suffering from an eruption all over
the body. In the beginning they were
small red spots and afterwards turned
to bloody sores. We tried all sorts
of ointments but they did not procure
any relief for our child. She cried
almost day and night and we scarcely
could touch her, because h was COW

I'VE had heard about the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and made a trial

one week she was totally we'll.

Small Fruit Matters.

During the fall and winter is a good
time to begin preparation for the Set
ting Of the strawberry bed next
spring, or those bush fruits that
should be found in every garden.
Late fall blowing is advantageous. 1t
tends to the destruction of insect life.
Fall plowed land is, as a rule, in a
workable condition in the spring
ahead of unplowed land.
The action of the elements will
make the soil more friable. Because
of these two points gained, the mois-
ture, contents and conserving power
Of the soil will be increased.

CHAPTER xxxv.
The Indian Trail.


The weather became colder as tie
day advanced. Scattered pellets OF
snow in the air dashed the faces of
tho troopers. who rode steadily for
ward, the capes OF their overcoats
thrown over their heads for protec-
ton. The snow Of the late storm lay
in drifts along >the banks Of the mar
row stream, and the horses picked
their passage higher up where the
wind had swept the brown earth clear,
at the same time keeping we'll below
the crest. A they thus toiled slow
ly forward. Hamlin related his story
to the Major in detail, carefully con-
cealing all suspicion Of McDonald's
connection with the crime. 1t was
growing dusk when the company
emerged into the Valley of the Cana
dian. All about them was d%esolation
and silence, and az they were still
miles away from the position assigned
for Black Kettles encampment. the
men were permitted to build fires and
prepare a warm meal under shelter OF
the bluffs. Two hours later the main

At the Maine experiment station, they

the pullets which soonest show red
combs and begin to sing, as pullets do
when getting ready to lay, and put

BY picking out these early layers they
got a flock which averaged $50 eggs

Protection From Rabbits.

Young apple trees can be easily pro-
tected from rabbits and mice by strips
OF wire netting. These may be rolled
around a broom handle to make them
cylindrical and thus keep their shape
when sprung on the trunks. Netting
"a inches wide is large enough. II
the netting is galvanized and if the
strips are made large enough to allow
for four or five years growth, no fur
ther attention need be given the trees
after once inclosed. The cost is only
a few cents, but this Is insurance, as
the time lost in replacing a tree is to
be considered.

During the last five years this dis

as discarded onions are usually de-

the crop profitable.

In spite of the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent at
tention to diet, babies and children
will become constipated, and it is
fact that constipation and indi-
gestion have wrecked many a young
life. To start with a good digestive
apparatus Is TO start life without
handicap.
But. as we can not all have per-
feet working bowels, we must do
the next best thing and acquire
them. or train them to become
healthy. This can he done by the
use of a laxative-tonic very highly
recommended by great many
mothers. The remedy is called Dr..
Caldwelrs Syrup Fepsin, and has
been on the market for two genera =
