Treasure for Antiuuarians,

In a recent issue of the London
Times announcement is made of the
discovery at Caervoran, on the Roman
wall, three miles east of Gilsland, in
Northumberland, Of a remarkable
bronze measure of the Roman period
Such officially certified measures are
very rare. On the present specimen
the name of Emperor Domitian, In
whose consulate in A. D. 80 the meas
ure was tested, has been obliterated
owing to the hatred felt toward him
after his death, The measure con.
tains 171S sectarii, about thirty pounds
OF wine, or rather more than two gal
Ions, and eight pounds have been al
lowed as the weight Of the material
Professor Haverield is uncertain
whether it was really certified under
the order Of the emperor, or whether
1t Is private venture, masquerading
as official. In any case, there is no
question Of the date, and the discovery
is OF considerable antiquarian interest

FARMERS ANXIOUS TO LEARN
Size Of Incomes From Soil Is aruely
Matter Of Education-DerAnd
for More Schools.

The steadily increasing attendance
ut existing schools Of agriculture
and the demand for more such schools
in addition to the demand for agri
cultural instruction in the common
schools, show that farmers are awake,
as never before in history to the fact
that the size of their incomes from
the soil is largely matter of educa
tion. The man who knows when to
plow, AID why; when to plant, and
why; wheu to reap, ard why, is seen
20 have dec.ded advantage over him
to whom the time for each of these
functions is mere "happenstance"
and who never concerns himself with
the Why" Scientific exactness is
becoming the rule On the farm as well
as in the laboratory and the machine
shop; and exactness comes only with
the mastery of principles.

WONDERFUL HOW QUICKLY -
RESINOL STOPS ITCHING

To those who have endured for years
the itching torments Of eczema or other
such skin-eruptions, the relief that
the first use Of resinol ointment and
resinol soap gives is perfectly incredi-
BILE. After all the suffering they went
through and all the useless treatments
they spent good money for, they
cannot believe anything so simple,
mild and inexpensive can stop the
itching and burning INSTANTLY
And they find it still more wonderful
that the improvement is permanent
and that resinol really drives away
the eruption completely in very
short time. Perhaps there Is pleas
art surprise like this in store for you.
Resinol ointment and resinol soap are
sold by all druggists.-Adv.

FARMERS CHOOSE NEW FARMS
Greater Care Is Now Necessary In
Climbing Ladder-Fertile Land
Is Great Essential.
CBy F. B. MUMFORD. Dean Of the Mis-
souri, College OF Agrlculture)

lBy r. B. MT1MFORD. Dean Of the Mis-
souri, College Of Agriculture.)
Between now and the next crop sea
son many farmers will choose new
farms. Each step must be more care
fully taken than ever before on the
ladder whose rungs are the positions
Of hired man, tenant, mortgage owner,
debt-free owner and improving owner.
Without such help as that of a wealthy
father it is no longer so easy to reach
the top of this ladder without climbing
the lower rungs as II was when land
of virgin fertility could be bought for
as little as $1.25 an acre.
In fixing the cash values Of land the
renter or purchaser should be careful
not to confuse economic with social
or esthetic factors. Unusually desir-
able houses, barns and fences may add
to the cost of land out of proportion to
the addition to their earning power,
and the buyer must consider whether
ut Cdu duOIu CeIldll lul'bo hliNh
bring great pleasure and satisfaction
but no money return. NSarness to
town and market similarly raise the
price, partly for social reasons, partly
because they make it possible to mar
ket more cheaply and to market Ger,
tain products which could not be
grown proftably farther from town
Fertile land is the great essential in
farming, but a question often raised is
whether it is better to buy only the
best land or to buy poorer land and
build it up by applying the discoveries
of the experiment stations and of the
most successful farmers.
The personal preference and ability
of buyer must be considered in de-
termining whether to buy small farm
at higher price per acre and whether
to buy only very fertile land with
view to producing only crops, or to
buying a mixed farm with some rough,
well-drained portions for permanent
pastures for live stock. Numerous
other factors must also be considered,
including the supply and price of Ia
