ECZEMA ON BACK AND CHES!

Pierson, N. Dakota.-"The eczema
started on my scalp. 1t finally went
On to the back of my neck, then on to
my back, arms and chest. 1t broke
out in pimples first and then seemed
to run together in some places, max.
ing a sore about the size of a dime.
At times the itching and burning were
so intense that il seemed unbearable.
The more / scratched it the worse it
became, and there would be a slight
discharge from it, especially on my
scalp, so as to make my hair matted
and sticky close to the scalp. The
hair was dry, ~lifeless and thin. My
hair vas falling SO terribly that ! had
begun to despair of ever finding re-
lief. My clothing irritated the erup-
ton on my back. The affected parts
were almost a solid scab.
Il had been bothered with eczema
for about a year and a half. Then
began using the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. / used them daily for two
months and I vas cured" (Signed)

BEES AS CROP DESTROYERS
Sucking Of Nectar From the
Flower Is Very Unjust One.

Bees are many times accused of be-
ing destroyers of crops of different
kinds. more especially the fruit crops.
The charge that damage results from
the bees sucking the nectar from the
flower is a very unjust one, relates the
Perdue Agriculturist, for, while the bee
is taking the nectar from the flowers
it is aiding greatly in the pollenation
OF the flowers, making a good crop
possible.
A complaint which is very often made
Is that the honey bee punctures fruits,
apples, pears, grapes, etc, and suck
the juices. AS a matter of fact, bees
never puncture sound fruit. They do,
however, suck the juices from fruit if
the skin is broken by some other
means, thus using up fruit that is al,
ready damaged.

same day. This gave roasting-ears for
a longer season than if only one va.
riety had been planted at this planting.
Then a part Of the ground was re-
served for later planting, so that we
had plenty of sweet corn and snap
beans for home use from an early
season until frost. Besides this there
was considerable corn dried for winter
use and from $40 to So worth Of
sweet corn and beans sold off of the
half-acre plot.
About one dollars worth Of small
ears was fed to the stock and plenty
of seed saved for next years planting.
The slower and bean vines were
worth from fifty cents to one dollar for
stock feed. Considering everything,
the half acre planted to corn and
beans was worth not less than S25.
The main points in growing a good
crop of sweet corn are: Making the
soil rich by liberal applications OF
manure or commercial fertilizer, a
well prepared soil and good, frequent
shallow cultivation.
The corn should not be planted toe
thick but good seed should be used
in order to get a uniform stand. Then
one or two beans should be planted in
each hill.

Preparation of Orchard.

AS the orchard is to occupy the
iaud for several years, the work of
thoroughly preparing the soil before
planting is important.
Whether the planting is to be done
early or late in the season, there is no
time during the whole year SO oppor,
tune for effective work with the pillow,
subsoil pillow and harrow as just after
the first good fall rain. At this time
the subsoil is moist, not wet, and last
ing benefits result from stirring and
pulverizing the subsoil to a good
depth when it is in just the right con-
dition.

Protect the Trees,

In sections where rabbits abound II
is never advisable to leave the young
orchard without protection against
these animals. In a single night they
are capable OF doing more damage
than the cost Of protecting the entire
orchard would have amounted to in a
year. AS soon as the supply Of green
vegetation is destroyed by frost, then
the rabbits are very liable to turn to
a diet Of orchard tree bark, and in a
very short time they a girdle a lit
tie tree beyond repair. Protect the
young trees by all lea with wrap
pers, paint, or by fencing and then
kill, trap or poison the rabbits.

Brussels.-It Is related in the guide
books that Brussels" means the city
on the marsh" Nowadays visitors
will look in vain for a marsh, or, in
fact, for any sign of a river, although
the maps show that the Belgian capital
lies on the Senne, a tributary OF the
Schelde. Many years ago the stream
was not merely put in harness, but put
out Of sight. 1t now flows literally
under Brussels, the great b%oulevards
covering 1t. Here and there a basin
has been left for lighters to carry
goods to the seaport, but the aspect of
the city in chief is that of a strictly
dry town.
Whatever may have been the orig
tnal character Of the soil on which
Brussels was established, centuries
ago, it's marshy nature has been com.
pletely altered. The precipitous hills
thanking the old town were early &C.

the streets were carried up their sides
in the easiest possible curves. Thus
the Brussels of today is a city chiefly
of narrow, crooked ways, with no
perspectives save in the newer por.

NEGOTIATING ALFALFA SEED
Some Farmers Have Wrong Idea as
to Use of Materials for Legumes
Bacteria Gather Nitrogen.

by ]. F. NICHOLSON, Idaho Expert
ment Station.)
The correspondence recently re-
ceived by the Idaho experiment sta.
ton would indicate that some farm.
ers have a wrong idea as to the use
of incubation material for alfalfa and
other legumes. These bacteria ap-
assist in the termination of the seed,
in increasing the stand or in correct
ing detrimental influence that may be
operating in the soil. Their sole duty
is in gathering nitrogen from the air
and turning 1t over to the plants on
whose roots they grow.
If the soil is deficient in nitrogen
u fertilizers, therefore, they will
enable the legume to make a good
growth and yield. II the soil. on the
other hand, is sour, or contains al
kali, then these bacteria will be of
little use. Again. il poor seed is used,
or too much or % little seed is sown
the bacteria will not remedy these
troubles.
These bacteria need not be used If
the legumes already growing in any
particular soil show the nodules on
the roots. This can be determined by
careful examination of the roots for
the nodules on the same. New ground
is frequently deficient in these bac'
terra and they should be applied arti
ficially.

now it is evident that the whole popu-

the drivers and chauffeurs are excep-

RAISE SEED POTATOES
SuREST MEANS OF DEVELOPING
HIGH-GRADE TUsERS.
Uniformity of Size and Shape Should
Receive More Atte ntion-There Is
Increasing Demand for Fancy
Table Stock.
By WILLIAM A

The superiority of immature over
o as yet recognized by the American
potato grower. The European grow
ers, on the other hand, have long real
lied that, other things being equal,
larger crops can be produced from
immature seed than from mature seed.
Uniformity of size and shape is a
quality which should receive more
thought, and strains of potatoes giving
the greatest yield of fair-sized, shapely
tubers should be cultivated. 1t is par
ticularly important at present that
such strains be developed, because
there is an increasing demand for
fancy table stock to satisfy the re-
quirements Of a large and discriminate
ing class of consumers who are insist
ing on greater uniformity in size and
shape and are willing to pay more for
such potatoes.
The simplest and surest means of
developing high-grade seed potatoes
is that of the tuber-unit and hill-selec-
consists in selecting from the seed bin
a number Of the most perfectly
shaped tubers of from six to eight
ounces in weight. When planted these
are CHARTERED, as dropped, into four
equal parts. This is done by splitting
the bud-eye cluster in each direction
from seed to stem end. In other words,
the tuber is cut lengthwise. All tu-
bers showing d~iscolorations of the
flesh or other evidence of disease
should be rejected. Plant the four
