ECZEMA lTCHED AND BURNED

R. F. D. No. s, Maryville, Tenn
MY baby, when three months old,
took eczema on his face and head.
His head and one side of his face
were almost in a solid sore. The &C.
zema at first was kind of rash and
then it broke out in water pimples
and they would burst and looked very
badly. 1t would itch and burn so bad
ly that he could not rest at all and
his hair just all fell out at once till
his head was perfectly bald. He could
not sleep at night and was very cross.
Il tried remedies without any relief
at all; he only got worse all the time
until l used Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment. He had great relief the first
application. He was soon cured and
his hair began to grow back and now
he has just beautiful fine hair and
has no. sign Of eczema" (Signed)

PRACTICAL HINTS
FROM POULTRY YARD
Vermin Increase in Cold Weather
as Rapidly as During Summer
Give Turkeys Wide Range.
CBy E. ]. MILLERl

Don't stop the war on the lice just
because the weather is cold. If you
have them down, keep them down.
They will not increase so fast in the
cold weather, and that is the time to
exterminate them.
When you dug the potatoes did you
save the small ones for the hens
They are very fond of them when
boiled and mixed with a little bran.
A mess of them fed once in a while
makes variety, and is a treat
Have the runts and defective fowls
been culled? They are only a bill OF
expense, and the loss occasioned by
their keep is usually charged to the
flock as a whole, which is unfair This
should be charged to your own neg
lect. To keep up the vigor and utility
of your flock, the undesirables must
be disposed Of, so there will be no
danger Of their eggs being set in the
spring.
Keep the houses and runs clean 1t
will save trouble later in keeping the
fowls healthy.
Now that the fowls cannot help
themselves to bugs, and grasses, and
seeds, these, or their equivalent, must
be supplied, especially if the poultry
is confined. They must be carefully
watched and their wants attended to.
The hens must be kept quiet to in
sure good digestion.
Unless you intend to raise poultry
for exhibition purposes, there is no
need Of buying fancy birds at high
prices, to start or improve a flock.
What is called utility stock is much
better for practical purposes.
Air-slaked lime sprinkled on the
floor under the roosts, and on the drop
ping boards, will help to keep the
place healthy and the air pure
Utility stock is just as pure-bred,
often stronger, and just as good in
every way as the show birds, except
that they are lacking in some point of
color or marking, which disqualifies
them for the show pen.
Many people say turkeys should be
restricted in their range, but we do
not believe it. We have raised many

The Missouri station recommends as
early varieties for local and CONNER
cial planting, Green Mountain, Jewell,
Campbell, Early New Haven, Brighton,
Moore's Early and Norfolk. Wisconsin
recommends first of all Moores Early,
followed closely by Worden, Concord,
Wilder and Delaware. New York s
favorite varieties are Moores Early,
Catawba, Diamond, Concord, Agawam,
Niagara, Delaware and Worden. In
California, Cinifera, or European
grapes are grown. These are famed
as table, wine and raisin grapes. Some
of the more prominent of these are
the following: Raisin grapes: White
Muscat, Muscatel, Gordo Blanco, Sui
tana and Thompson Seedless. Table
grapes: Flame, Tokay, Emperor,
Black Hamburg and Chasselas, Red
wine grapes: Zinfandel, Carignan
and Mataro White wine grapes: Sau-
rignon, Riesling and Chasselas Dore.
Port wine grapes: Mission, Malvoisie
and Trousseau. Sherry and Madeira
wine grapes: Mission, Palomino and
Sultana.
Fine grapes are also grown under
glass, but for this purpose only Eu-
ropean varieties are used. Black Ham,
burg is the variety most used for this
purpose.

HOW THE FRENCH
P0ULTERER KILLS
Neck of Fowl Is DisIoCated by
Swift Back Chuck Given
Close to Head of Bird.

The French poulterer kills his fowls
by dislocating the neck with a swift
back chuck given close to the head
At once the dressing begins so that
it may be completed before the body
cools.
The legs and wings are tucked close
to the body, which is placed breast
downward against a board. moist
cloth is spread on the back, which
imparts a fine-grain appearance to the
flesh.
A weight is applied to secure the
required market fairness, and when
thoroughly cold the birds are removed,
packed carefully and closely in crates
or cases, according to their destina-
ton.

Calf Disorders.

Bowel troubles in calves are some
times caused by milk that is excess
sively rich. Milk that is moderate or
low in butter fat is usually better for
young calves. Indigestion in older
calves is usually due to unclean milk
or feed, unclean vessels, close con
finement in dark, unsanitary stalls
and irregular or excessive feeding. In
some cases it appears to be due main
ly to sheer WEAKNESS and inability to
digest

SHADE FOR ELECTRIC LAMPS
Clamps on Globe of Incandescent Light

An objection that has hitherto been
raised to incandescent electric lamps
is that there has been no satisfactory
way to shade them. A Kentucky man
has overcome this difficulty by the in

that can be clamped on the lamp in
