the Corn Club l became very much
interested, as | always liked to work
on the farm, and enrolled as a men,
ber two years ago. | selected the
same plat of ground for my corn
this year that | had in corn last
year, which was clay soil. 1t had
been in red top and clover for three
years. On April 10th | broke the
ground eight inches deep with a two
horse Oliver chilled plow and applied
one ton of ground limestone rock
and 600 pounds of 7. j. Turley's 2-S-
10 fertilizer, narrowing and drag
ging three times. planted the corn
on May 18th in rows three and one
third feet apart and between ten
and twelve inches in the row with a
Campbell one horse drill. | had a
good stand and plowed it five times
with a fve-tooth one-horse cultiva-
tor, using mule twenty-one years
old. We have used this same corn
on our farm for twenty years. The
variety was improved Red Cob corn.
No barnyard manure was used. The
net profit on the acre after paying
full prices for all the work done and
all expenses was $57 35, valuing the
corn at sixty cents a bushel.

How to Test Water.

Every one knows and admits the ne
cessity for pure water. When you are
away from home, and are not sure OF
the character of the water supply, it
would not be a bad idea to make few
simple tests. The results may prove
that it was decidedly worth while to
take the trouble. Here are two tests
that you can make very easily:
Fill tumbler with water, drop in a
lump of white sugar. cover 1t with a
saucer, and let it stand overnight on
the bricks at the side of the range. on
the kitchen mantelpiece. or. in fact,
anywhere where the temperature will
not sink below 60 degrees. II next
morning the contents are clear, the
water is pure. If. on the other hand,
the liquid is cloudy. some source OF
contamination is indisputably proved
The second test is to drop few
grains of permanganate Of potash into
tumbler of water cover. and let
stand for an hour. II the water is still
Of the bright rosy color to which the
chemical turned it, 1t is perfectly safe
for drinking; II II is of a brownish
color, it is impure, although the i'm
purity may be of the kind that boil

interests. Kings Haakon and Chris

that the conference would have good
and happy results for the three peo-
Piles.
"The deliberations consolidated the
good relations among the three king
doms and resulted in an agreement to
pursue the cooperation so happily be-
gun and to arrange, when circum-

HOW TO HEAL SKIN
AND SCALP TROUBLES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes, and
similar itching skin troubles.
At any reliable druggists get a jar
of Resinol Ointment and cake OF
Resinol Soap. With the Resinol Socp
and warm water battle the affected
parts thoroughly, until they are free
from crusts and the skin is softened.
Dry very gently, spread on a thin layer
of the Resinol Ointment, and cover
with light bandage. This should be
done twice a day Usually the dis
tressing itching and burning stops
with the first treatment, and the skin
soon becomes clear and healthy again.
