ITCHING TERRIBLE ON LIMB

r. F. D. No. 3, Clarkfeld, MINI
started with some small red and yell
low spots about the size of a pin head
on my leg and every morning there
was a dry scale on top covering the
affected part and when those scales
were falling off the itching was more
than l could stand at times. The first
year l did not mind it so much as it
was only itching very badly at times,
but the second year it advanced all
around my leg and the itching was
terrible. l had to be very careful to
have my clothing around the affected
part very loose. At night time | often
happened to scratch the sore in my
sleep. Then had to stand up, get out
of bed and walk the floor till the spell
was over.
Il bought lots of salves and tried
many different kinds of medicine but
without any success. l got a cake OF
Cuticura Soap and fifty-cent box Of
Cuticura Ointment and when l had
used them l was nearly over the itch
ing. But l kept on with the Cuticura
Soap for six weeks and the cure was
complete" (Signed) S. o. Gorden,

Sod ground ploWed any time when

barley seeded early, the ground being
thoroughly mellow and fine, will near

heavy grain and good straw. If there
is thin crust Of frozen soil or even
a light fall of snow on the ground
when it is plowed it will work no in

land may be plowed when wet in the
late fall and early winter months. the
freezing and thawing during the win

to the bottom, giving a fine mellow
soil for planting in the spring Heavy
sod should be plowed fully six inches

a day. The draught is easier on the
horses and plowman. For potatoes
and truck crops manure first from
the stables and corn straw spread on
top of the sod and then plowed uG-

lowed by most of our large truck
farmers and it is good one. For
fine seeds, such as onions, beets and
most of the roots the ground must not
only be deep, we'll filed with rotted
manure, but there must be generous
dressing of fine, rich manure to spread
on top of the ground and well mixed
with the top soil with spring tooth
harrow and the ground made fine and
level with the smoothing harrow. The
smaller and choicer vegetables are
mostly grown by gardeners. This
method gives a mellow seed bed, one
that will hold the light summer rains
necessary for rapid growth and early
maturity of the crop planted. Truck
ers nearly always have one-third of
their land seeded to clover or rye and
vetch to plow down to green manure.
Gardeners, on the other hand use
large quantities of manure. follow
close planting and all ground under

is known as full cropping"

mass of high-grade ore, about five hun
dred feet in depth. The value of the
score of big properties-including the
two greatest iron-ore producers in the
worlds not less than one billion

mine, is not happy. 1t has to move.
The property was acquired subject to

steam shovels from one to five miles
in three directions and converging at
the city limits, show that the city's
10000 inhabitants dwell on a great
bank of solid ore. The fee and lease
holders express a desire to be liberal
and to pay generous damages to prop
erty owners; but the city must change
its base. 1t is moving along on the
installment plan, and soon a brand
new Hibbing will appear nearby, with
schools, churches, banks, parks, and

Your honor, l submit that my client
did not break into the commissary at

open, and merely inserted his right

clients arm is not himself, and l fail
to see how you can punish the whole
individual for an offense committed

The defendant smiled, and with his

Insects outnumber all other forms
Of animal life inhabiting the face of
the earth. II the entire insect popu-
lation of a single acre of arabic farm
land, in any part of the United States,
could be brought together and care
fully examined, hundreds of different
kinds would be found, some of them
doubtless new to the naturalist, the
majority new to the farmer but all
either directly or indirectly affecting
the financial interests of the latter
Comparatively few of these insects
would be found actually to prey upon
the grain or grasses over this limited
area, the remainder being enemies
either of the few destructive species or
of each other. But the farmer him
self would probably know little re-
garding the habits of any of them,
despite the fact that he may have
spent the most of his life in their
midst, and sustained greater or less
animal loss by reason of their ravages.
The business of farming has made
years, but advancement in a knowl-
edge of insects has not kept pace
with this progress. Indeed, the mod
ern farmer who plants his grain with
grain drill, harvests it with self
binder, and threshes 1t with steam
threshing machine, probably knows
little if any more of these insects than
did his grandfather, who century ago
sowed his grain broadcast, reaped it
with hand sickle, and threshed it
with a fail. Inconsistent as it may
appear, not one farmer in ten has
even business acquaintance with
those insects that may cost him any
where from per cent. to 95 per cent
of his crop. This apathy in regard
to insects is doubtless due in part to
their generally minute forms and OBJ
scure habits of life, But much is due
to the innate propensity of men in
general to consider the raVages of in
sects as insurmountable and incom-
prehensible phenomena of nature, like
storms, floods, or unreasonable frosts,
that must be accepted without ques-
tion and without recourse Indeed, in
the minds of some they are dictated
by Providence whose acts are final
and above question. Precisely a sim
liar opinion relative to smallpox was
held by the old Arabian physicians
and by medieval schools.
A better knowledge of some of the
fundamental principles governing in
sect life and development than at
present prevails would teach the
farmer that insect depredations are
not to be placed in the same category
with floods, storms, and unreasonable
frosts, all of which are natural phe-
nomena, not influenced by the acts of
man. Ravages of insects, though
natural, are in many instances the
direct results of mans efforts to bring
large areas of country out of a state
of nature into high state of cultiva-
tion. To destroy hundreds of kinds of
plants, growing over large areas of
country, replacing these plants with
a selected few and increasing the pro-

ductiveness of these to the greatest
extent possible is agriculture itself,
and though it is practically feeding
the civilized world, it is nevertheless
contrary to the long established natur-
al order of things.
Probably not 5 per cent. of the diff
ferent kinds of insects that inhabit a
farm are injurious, while many times
as many are the farmers friends, be-
cause they are engaged in destroying
the pestiferous ones. In fact, the two
prime elements in restraining insects
are their natural enemies and unfavor-
able weather 1t must be remem-
bered, however, that weather affects
both friends and foes. Probably many
outbreaks of insects are not due to
weather conditions especially favor
able to the pests, but rather to those
conditions fatal to their natural ene-
mics; relieved of the restrain exer-
cised by their enemies, the species at
once develop in myriads and destroy
