ECZEMA LIKE POISON ON FACE

5S Wilson ST., New Haven, Conn.,
when my baby was about three
months old he started to cry and fret.
He had red spots on his face which
l was told was eczema. 1t broke out
like poison, started on Ills face and
went down his whole body and
back of his ears. He suffered dread
fully with it, l did not get any rest
for several weeks. He scratched his
face so it was a running eruption. He
was fretful and restless.
Il applied lots of remedies but all
failed. Then l got some Cuticura
Soap and Ointment at the druggists
and tried them. My baby improved so l
kept on. Now he is healed and l can
see no sign of the trouble" (Signed)

PROFIT MADE IN CAPONlZlNG
Increased Value Of Birds Rays Well for
Time and Labor-operation 10
Not Difficult.

AS vast majority Of poultry own
ers and growers are not professional
and keep the poultry incidentally and
in the main for the use of the family,
it is not surprising that so few poul-
try owners undertake to caponize the
cockerels. But IL all poultry owners
were aware Of the increase of profit
that capons pay over the ordinary
poultry l think great many more
would learn how to perform the op-
Grafton and caponize all the surplus
males every fall.
Even If it were done only to sup
ply the use of them on ones own ia
BILE 1t would pay well, says writer in
an exchange. AS almost all farmers
themselves emasculate all their sur
plus boars and bull calves, and some
even the male colts, it is evident that
with little more skill they can emas-
can sell them for from half more up
to twice as much as the cockerels
would bring in the market.
AS caponizing requires keen eye
and steady hand, as we'll as the spe-
cial tools for doing the work, it would
be we'll for one withou: experience, if
he can get the opportunity, to see
some one who is expert at the work
and then make a few trials himself.
In order to make the job easier I
think it will be we'll to etherize or
chloroform the chicken, so that it will
be absolutely still. However, if one
knows how to do the job and has the
tools it takes but little while, and
there is no reason to believe that the
suffering will be great.

lowed by the chickens just now, if you
are feeding them properly.
Proper feeding always improves the
table qualities of the fowls, making
the meat more tender and juicy and
of finer flavor.
There is always greater demand
and consequently better price for a
nice fat fowl than for lean one, es'
pecially in dressed poultry. You thus
make gain in the price per pound as
we'll as in the number of pounds, by
fattening your poultry before you put
1t on the market.
The fowls to be fattened should be
taken away from the rest of the flock
and put in a warm, comfortable room

SHELTER FOR BIRDS
Particularly Desirable Where
Edible Material Is Scarce.
Designs Of TWO Houses Given In Bull
Ietin Issued by Agricultural De-
partment-lmportance of Pro-

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The farmer who will build a food
shelter and furnish an abundance of
food in it will find that many birds of
value to him as insect-destroyers, will
haunt his premises. This is particu-
larly true when there is a scarcity of
bird food in the vicinity. The United
States department of agriculture in a
recently published bulletin on bird
houses has offered designs for shell
.ers that will protect food in all kinds
Of weather.

that is both small and dark. In these
conditions they will spend most of
their time on the roost and grow fat
rapidly. By moving about and exer
cising they would work off most of
the fat.
Tighten the pen at feeding time and
besure that they have plenty of fresh
water to drink after feeding. Feed
corn, barley, oats and buckwheat
mixed together or separately, with
skim-milk.
Mix little charcoal, sulphur and
red pepper, or some good poultry con-
dition powder with the meal. This
is an advantage, as 1t keeps the fowls
healthy and in good appetite.
The milk should be boiled first and
poured hot over the meal, stirring I'M
til the food is stiff and crumbly. Some
poultry feeders round this feed into
the shape of pills and cram these in.
to the crop, but this is repulsive and
| think not necessary. The fowls
should be fed five times a day at reg.
ular intervals.
If this treatment is kept up fol-
three weeks it should add two or three
pounds to the weight of the chicken
in fine, juicy flesh and bring the top
price on the market. The fattening
must stop as soon as the fowls cease
to put on flesh, for they will lose it
again otherwise.

ed by degrees to enter the Enclosure.
Such food as suet, seeds, or cracked
suts will prove attractive as bait.
Two designs are given in the bulle-
in for adequate food shelters. The
irst may be attached to tree, the

glass. There is no bottom to either Of
hese structures.
Besides protecting food, such shell
ser will provide place where one in

If the farmer has neither the time
lor inclination to make a shelter but
IT'LL desires to attract valuable birds
oy putting out food, the next best
hing is to fasten the bait to trunks or
branches of trees or scatter it on the
ground in sheltered places.
Desirable birds may be attracted by
,ther means than food, particularly in
summer. On warm days they appre-
.iate fresh water for drinking and

In some places the crematory method

chemicals to reduce garbage while
