AWFUL ECZEMA ON FACE


Freeland, "Baby's eczema
started In little spots and would burst
and run all over his face and wher-
ever the water would touch his face,
it would make another sore. Pimples
would break out and make his face
sore and infiamed, and he was very
cross and fretful. 1t was awful He
suffered tortures from it, and we had
to tie mittens on his hands to keep
him from scratching. A friend Of mine
told me of the Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment and went to a drug store and
bought them.
when we would battle his face with
the Cuticura Soap and apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment, he would be much bet
ter. He would wake up in the nights
and cry with his face and we would
put on some Of the Cuticura Ointment
and then he would rest all night. They
have cured him completely of the
eczema" (Signed) Mrs. Harry Wright.

nMNOITy

There is no special method that
need be followed in raising bull calf.
Bad ventilation in the COW stable is
responsible for many diseased cattle.
1t is every dairyman's business to
ask each COW what she does with her
feed.
Do not hurry the COWS in moving
them about the place or to and from
the barn.
It is better to grow beets. common
ly known as mangels, rather than car
rots for cows.
The Babcock test for a cows pro-
duction is often an acid test of her
owners gumption.
No feed returns sas much profit as
that which puts COW in good condi-
ton just before calving time.
If your cows are not paying for
their feed hold a little examination
and see If you are to blame.
Repeated groupings of corn have a
tendency to wear the land. Better
rotate and use some grass crop.
Calf raising is necessity on every
dairy farm. 1t IL the only economical
and safe method Of keeping herd

CHEAPER MEAT.

1t is interesting to note the methods
OF serving meats and the variety OF
prices charged for the same cut. One
feels that twenty-five cents pound
for calf's liver is almost prohibitive,
yet we notice in other places it may
be bought for ten to fifteen cents
pound.
One must study the home market.
and by pricing the different cuts learn
what the prices are for, flank, chuck,
shoulder piece, neck and round steak.
Brisket and hook are used for stews
and soup Shank for stewing and
soup, and four ribs which may be used
for roasting. BY usin small
amount of meat, which gives flavor
to the dish, one may cut the cost OF
meat. Hamburg steak or chicken
mixed with macaroni and baked
makes good substantial dish with
very little meat.
Beef Loaf.ATake two pounds of
hamburg steak. mix with half cup
of crumbs, season with salt, pepper.
onion Juice; add two well beaten eggs,
three tablespoonful of sweet cream,

I'LL the pan two-thirds full of boiling
water, lay slices Of bacon over the
top, then put peeled potatoes into the
pan and bake until the potatoes are
done. Serve with the gravy in the
pan slightly thickened.
If liver is reasonable in price, cook
it, after parboiling in bacon fat or
with slice or two of bacon or salt
pork. After frying. remove the bacon
and liver, add little flour and milk
and water to make nice smooth

WEED HARMFUL 70 WOMEN
Scientific investigation Has Proved
That Tobacco Should Not Be
Used BY the Fair Sex.

It seems that at last purely physio-
logical reason has been found why
women should not smoke, apart from
the very general prejudice which ex-
lists In this country.
Smoking says DR.. Hargrave. q
London physician, does not have the
same effect on women that it does
on men. AS imperious necessity felt
by most smokers to satisfy their pas
sion after eating is physiologically ex-
planned by the excitation of the salt
vary glands which secretions, SO use
full in digestion. the smoke augments.
Moreover, it has been shown that it
sterilizes the saliva and that this is
really beneficial from the viewpoint
of the possible infection from the
foods themselves.
But with women it is a serious con.
clusion reached from many expert.
ments that few Of them need tobacco
while the proportion of men whose
salivary secretions were stimulated
and sterilized by smoking was very
large, the proportion Of women on the
other hand, was very small. Even
In women who had been habitual
smokers for years, the action of this
weed was found to be less marked, in
fact almost negligible.
So apparently DR.. Hargraves is Of
the opinion that women should moi
smoke, because they do not need it.

BAKING DAY.

Most housekeepers who have all of
their own work to do, like to plan
their work in such way that no time
will be lost waiting for things and
each piece of work may fit in and fol-
low without waste OF time.
If the bread is set or ,sponged at
night it will be ready to mold into
q large loaf the first thing in the
morning. Then In an hour or two
it can be made into loaves and baked
before noon. When making steamed
brown bread, get it made and steam
ing Immediately after breakfast, then
it may be ready for the noon meal,
after 1t has dried off in the oven for
half hour.
!. Pieffer Neusse.--Mix and sift to-
gether one cup of sugar, two cups OF
flour, half tablespoonful of cinna-
mon, a fourth of tablespoonful of
cloves, mace, nutmeg and teaspoon
of baking powder; add the grated rind
of lemon, fourth Of cup OF
chopped citron and three beaten eggs.
Make in balls the size Of hickory
nut and bake on buttered paper I'M
til a golden brown.
RaIsin Brown Bread.-Take one cup
full each Of rye meal, graduated corn
meal, graham -four; add three-fourths
of a teaspoonful of soda, one and a
half teaspoonfuls of salt, three-fourths
of cup Of molasses, one and three
fourths cups Of milk or water and q
cup of chopped raisins. Steam in ba-
king powder cans well buttered for
three hours.
If materials and utensils are close
at hand in cooking, much time may
thus be saved. Have plenty Of the
small and useful utensils that are
used every minute in cooking within
reach.
Clean up as you go along, putting
back the box of baking powder well
covered, as. soon as it is used. Place
the spoons and small utensils, egg
beaten and such things, in bowl or
pitcher, pouring over cold water to
soak them. When they are to be
washed they will be done in half the
time
Clean wash dresses and aprons are
best for all kinds of homework. and
especially for cooking.

GIVE THE VEGETABLES ROOM
Much Garden Truck Has Been Ruined
by Not Thinning Out at Proper
Time-Nerve Needed.

Do not be afraid to thin out your
plants they must not be crowded,
Probably more garden stun has been
ruined for want of being thinned at
the proper time than by any other
cause.
However that may be, one of the
most puzzling things for the begin
ner to find out Is whether any particu-
lar vegetable should be thinned or
transplanted, and how far apart the
plants should stand afterward.
He will get some help from the cat
alogues as to the distances. but
whether he should transplant or thin
is the kind Of thing that is not in the
book.
It requires great deal of nerve to
pull up and destroy the unnecessary
seeding more nerve than the anna
teur possesses. They say that a per.
son never becomes a good gardener
until he steels his nerve to this
ruthless sacrifle
A vegetable must have plenty of
room to develop its best size and
flavor, and one can take no pride in
SNAIL commonplace vegetables.

Pneumonia and ErysIpeIas serum

Pneumonia and ErysIpelas Serum.
Not long before his death last Feb
ruary Dr. Philip Hanson Bliss of Bal
timore discovered serum for the treat
ment of pneumonia and erysipelas,
which are now being tested with much
interest. DR.. Ford of the Johns Hop
kins medical school, who followed DIR.
Bliss in his work, says that the serum
for pneumonia is not cure in any
such sense as the antitoxin for diph-
iberia, but that it is helpful in the
treatment OF the disease.

Some excitement was caused in
Wexford (Ireland) the other day, by
the vagaries of a bullock. which ran
amuck. The animal took refuge in the
house Of a man named Murphy and
climbed the stairs and entered bed

other articles, and then took head

DAT SMUT CAUSED BIG LOSS
Subject Gaining Importance Because
Farmers Failed to Use Simple
FormaIin Treatment.

Dat smut, which was practically
eradicated from the state by the CAM
paign carried on by the agronomy de-
partment OF the College Of Agriculture
of the University of Wisconsin. is
again assuming Importance, through
the failure Of many farmers to use the
simple formalin treatment to prevent
the disease. The fact that oat smut
caused serious losses last summer in
some fields in the state should con-
vince farmers that safety lies only
in the treating Of their seed oats.
One pint of formalin, or formalde-
hyde, which may be obtained at any
drug store, viii treat thirty bushels
of oats This solution should be made
by using one pint of formalin to thir-
ty-six gallons of water in tank or
barrels. The oats should then be put
in gunny sacks, filed only two-thirds
full, and submerged in the formalin
for only ten minutes.
When the sacks of oats are with
drawn from the barrels or tank they
should be allowed to drain, thereby
saving considerable solution that
would otherwise be wasted. The oats
are then emptied on a threshing
floor, and covered with blankets an
hour or two, so as to make the treat
ment more effective. After this the
oats are allowed to dry. Oats treated
with the formalin solution will usual
ly dry sufficiently for sowing in one
or two days. After treatment the
oats swell considerably, and it Is
necessary for the seeder or drill to
be set SO that II will SOW about one
bushel more per acre.
Oats can be treated effectively sew
eral weeks or months previous to
sowing if desired, and if properly
dried the terminating power will not
suffer. For the average farmer just
previous to sowing will prove most
convenient.

and is, perhaps, all things considered,
the most popular breed in this coun-
try at the present time.
Its origin is commonly given as a
cross between the Black Java and the
American Dominique. Besides the
Java other Asiatic blood has probably
been used in making the breed.
The Plymouth Rock is more like
the Asiatic than like the European
chicken. It approaches in size and
fattening qualities the Cochin or
Brahma. but has lost the excessive
feathering, slowness of growth and
general clumsiness of those breeds.
The best recommendation for the
Plymouth Rock on the farm is the
excellent growth made by the young
chickens. In this quality they have
no superior. The Plymouth Rock
pullets are good layers, but as year
ling hens are prone to turn into fat
rather than eggs
Another objection to the barred
variety is the difficulty in keeping the
breed true to the standard type. The
pure-bred type birds are required to
have even and distinct bars of the
same shade in male and female.
These are difficult points to main
tain. and resort is often made to
double mating or the keeping of two
breeding pens, one to produce cock
erels and the other pullets.
The white and bun Plymouth Rocks
are later products than the barred
variety. Much Of what has been said
will apply to them also. The following
differences might be noted:
The white variety is free from the
color objection Of the barred type, but
the objection to the fattening tend
ency applies to hens of this variety
perhaps more forcibly than to the
barred.
Buff Plymouth Rocks will probably
average smaller than the other varie-
ties Of the breed Although a solid
colored bird, they like all buff breeds,
except the buff Cochins, will be found
dificult to breed to one color, owing
to the tendency to possess black OF
white in the wings and tail.
