ECZEMA ON HANDS AND FEET "In the latter part of 1889 my face and head broke out In little pimples. My doctor gave me some medicine and a salve. I used them for months but did not receive any results. In the meantime it broke out all over my back and chest. I then went to an other doctor and he told me the same as my own doctor —that It was eczema. He also gave me medicine for eighteen months. All I could see was that he moved It from my face and body to my hands and feet, and although I did everything, I could not heal my hands and feet. My hands would split open on the Joints and would be so sore that I could not use them at times. Then I started to use Cutlcura Soap and Ointment in July, 1893, and before 1894 I was fully cured. I therefore recom mend the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment to any person having skin disease. As soon as I began to use Cutlcura Soap and Ointment I found relief at once. "My sister. Miss Rebecca Jackson, had a breaking out on her face and hands the same as myself. She used Cutlcura Soap and Ointment for seven or eight months, and was cured entire ly." (Signed) Samuel F. Jackson, 1217 Pine St., Philadelphia, Pa., May 5,1911. His sister writes: "What my brother says is quite true, and you can Imagine how I suffered and how glad I was to be cured by Cutlcura Soap and Oint ment."

Work \o* Extinction of Tuberculosis. Exhibitions showing in graphic form the prevention of consumption have been shown In every state In the Vuited States, except Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Wyoming, and also In most of the Canadian provinces and in Mexico, Porto Rico and Cuba, ac cording to a statement made by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. There are now 25 states and 16 cities hav ing permanent and traveling exhibits besides the two operated by the Na tional association itself, and the total number of similar displays is over 200, including about 150 small school exhibits. The first tuberculosis ex hibit in America was shown by the Maryland Tuberculosis commission in January, 1904. In 1906 there were four such exhibits. The Man Who Sued the Widow.

IMPROVEMENT MADEIN MODERN TYPE OF BABY BEEF ANIMAL Predicted It Will Continue to Increase In Popularity In Those Districts Where Farmers Do Not Wish to Dairy— Vast Range Areas In West Have Been Cut Up Into Small Farms. j a.; JV, : ,^o| £WWBK&UKM?M WM A Bunch of Prise Winning Feeder*. Twenty-five years ago the popular beef animal was a mountain of meat and tallow. Pasture land was cheap and labor low In price; so the raiser oould afford to keep the animal until It weighed a ton before putting It on the market. The buyer wanted this kind of animal, for meat was cheap and the consumer could buy large cuts. But new factors have brought about a change In values. As land and labor Increased In price the farmer found that the longer he kept an animal the more of his labor went in maintenance and this lessened hla profit Just that much. Then he found that the higher-priced lands could not be used for beef and that there was more money In raising corn. So men who had been engaged In raising cat tle for market started raising corn, and bought their steers from those occupying cheap lands and finished them ofT themselves. Throughout the corn belt the popular steer has ranged for 24 to 30 months old, says the Homestead. The majority of fattened steers went to market at 30 months, weighing from 1,500 to 1,350 pounds. The farmer preferred to feed these animals because there was generally a good demand for them In the mar ket. When purchased from western cattle raisers they were in thin con dition, but were rugged, thrifty, had good appetites, and were In the best shape to make rapid gains. During the last few years, due to the fact that the sheep industry has been encroaching on the land in the west, and irrigating projects have made fruit raising successful, vast range areas have been cut Into small farms for settlers who have no money to Invest In cattle. Then, too, great numbers of cows and young stock are being sent to market each year, with a consequent decrease in the number of breeding animals on the range. One of the greatest problems that con fronts the cattle feeder of today is where to get hold of feeders. A number of people who used to feed cattle till 24 or 30 months of age in the corn belt are attempting to raise their own calves and market them around 12 months of age or be tween the ages of 12 and 18 months, and weighing from 800 to 1,000 pounds. This is what is known as the "baby beef" proposition, and it is a question that Is exciting more in terest every year among cattle feed ers and producers. Baby beef has not been popular with steer feeders because under condi toins formerly existing the man on the range could produce them more cheaply than the man in the corn belt could buy them. The extra land neces sary for maintaining breeding cows could be used for corn; the feeding period of the baby beef animal lasted from 6 to 9 or 12 months, while that of the 24 and 30-months-old steer only lasted from 90 to 180 days. Then, too. greater uniformity and more indica tions of better breeding are necessary in the baby beef proposition in feeding out older cattle. Greater skill In feed ing and caring for the young animals is also necessary than in the case of the older ones whose appetites do not have to be catered to. The killer also discriminated against the younger ani mal because the carcass of the older animal usually carried a little firmer flesh than the young animal, and there Is less water in the carcass, so that they kill out a larger per cent, of good meat. The feeder himself found that unless he exercised great vigilance, the young animals shrunk more in be ing shipped to market and finally the consumer favored the meat from the older animal. If the cattle feeder alms to produce his own feeders, be cannot afford to BRACING CORNER FENCE POST %K ' An excellent method for bracing a corner fence post 1* shown in the Illustration and it Is self-explanatory. let his calves lose what Is known as "calf fat." It Is well known that young animals gain more rapidly In propor tion to their live weight and to 100 pounds of food than do older animals. That is, they not only made more economical use of their feed than the older animals, but they take a shorter time to make a certain total gain. The man who turns off a steer that weighs 1,000 pounds, has, If that calf weighed 100 pounds at birth, been given 10 per cent, of the total weight by the dam. while the man who keeps the animal till It weighs 1,250 pounds has been given only 8 per cent. The man who can make a steer weigh 1,000 at 12 months has more return for his trouble than the man who keeps It 24 months, with an additional weight of only 250 pounds. Butchers, too, have changed to suit the demand of the consumer. Al though meat la generally considered a luxury In the diet of the poor man's family, It still remains an absolute necessity in the diet of the better classes. But, where people formerly ordered large roasts and steaks, they are ordering steaks and roasts now that are from 50 to 75 per cent, small er on account of the advanced prices. They find that If they get a small roast from a large animal that it Is "long" on bone. The butcher then to suit the demands for smaller bone de mands smaller animals, and during the last few months they have been willing to offer, not a premium on smaller steers so far as dollars per 100 is concerned, but they have brought the price of small steers up so close to that of the large ones that there Is really a premium on little steers when we consider the cost of production. We do not think that the 1,200- pound steer will over be entirely eliminated from the market, but we do think (If a conjecture la allowable) that the baby beef animal will con tinue to increaae in popularity in those districts where men do not wish to dairy. Placing the Halter. With two fence staples fasten an old harness snap from which the spring has been broken to the left side of the horse stall at a convenient height above the manger, says a writer In Practical Farmer, and see that the boys hang up the halter whenever the horse Is taken out. When he is brought in, his halter is neither under his feet nor in the man ger under his feed, but just where it can be reached most easily and quick ly. The point of the snap should be hammered in slightly to prevent the horse catching his halter upon It or injuring himself by rubbing. The Delicious Sweet Pepper. Your garden ought to be well sup plied with that most palatable vege table, the sweet pepper. Many peo ple Imagine that all peppers are too hot to be eaten with comfort, but this Is a great mistake. The only hot portions are the seeds, and they can be removed before cooking. Green peppers are cooked In a va riety of ways, and there is no vege table that produces more table en joyment than these vegetables If a little study and care Is given to their growth and preparation for the table.

Day the books down, Jimmy, and I'll see what I can do when I get through putting these things away. Jimmy (laying the books on the ta ble) —She says not to send her any thing she's already read. She says last time Miss Smith sent her a book she'd read and she was awful mad because she says Miss Smith does that all the time. She says she won't send for books any more when Miss Smith's here. Librarian (mentally admiring Miss Smith's perspicuity and determining to follow her example—Well, I'll try to find her something. Jimmy—Say, she says for me to tell you not to send her any more of these here old books about dogs and ani mals and things. She says last time you sent her one of these old nature factory books and she just hated it. And she says —Hello Fritz! (to sec ond small boy, who enters, followed by a dog). "Say, I been lookin' for you. Say, I'm going to smash your face for telling the fellers I can't pitch at the game Saturday. Librarian—Boys, you must be quiet. Jimmy, here's a book for your mother. Jimmy—l bet she won't like this one. She don't never like these here brown colored ones. Say, Fritz, you come on outside and I'll punch your head for you. I bet I'll learn you not togo round sayln'— (Small boys clatter out.) (Enters young woman with a book which she throws down on the desk.) Young Woman—Bess Perkins, what did you mean my recommending that book to me? If you do such a thing again I'll have you arrested for mak ing false representations. It's the stupidest thing 1 ever struck. Do you mean to say you really liked it? Librarian—Yes, I did like it very much. But you must remember that I told you I didn't know whether you would like it or not. All I said was that I liked It. (Laughs.) Young Woman —Oh, I suppose your tapte is good enough, Bess, but in this case yours and mine don't agree. Say, is this all the new fiction you have? Why, I never saw such a poky old library. Why don't you get some good books? Librarian—That's a very brilliant idea, my dear. I'll speak to the li brary board about it. You know the board selects the books and it is al ways glad to have practical sugges tions. Young Woman—You're rather bril liant yourself this afternoon It seems to me. (She saunters around the room for a few minutes, taking down a book occasionally and putting it back again with disgusted expres sion. "I wish they'd put me on the library board. I'd like to show them the kind of books they ought to buy. But as you haven't anything fit to read, I'll go home and sew awhile. I'm making a perfectly beautiful em broidered waist. I'll bring it over here tomorrow and show it to you. Librarian —Bring it over and work on it and keep me company. There hasn't been anybody here today but two small boys and a dog, and prob ably there won't be anybody tomor row, so we can have the place to our selves. Young Woman —That'll be fine. I'll bring some lemons and sugar and some cookies and we can have a little tea party. Librarian—Don't forget. Be sure to come. Goodby. (Young woman departs. Enter small boy, slamming the door behind him.) Small Boy—Say, Miss Perkins, tell me a good book to read. Say, the last time I was to the library Miss Smith she handed me a lemon, all right. It was named "The Parents' Insistent," or something. Say, it was the limit. I never read but one of the stories, but that one was on the bum, all right. Say, it was 'bout a feller had a piece of string or something and he rolled it in a ball and kep' it, and put it in his pocket and everything, and then one day he broke his bow 'n arrer and he took the string and fixed it, and he got the prize. Say, I nearly died laughln' at the story. I bet I wouldn't a kep' that little old piece of string like he did. Say, Miss Perkins. I got to speak a piece at school the last day. Say, can you tell me some thing to speak? Librarian —What kind of a piece do you have to have, Fred? Fred —Oh, something funny or may be something not funny. I don't know; Just some kind of a piece. One of the kids he's going to recite some thing, I've forgotten what he's going to recite. Say, Miss Perkins, here's a piece of gum. A kid out here give It to me and I'm going to bust it in two and give you a piece. librarian (hastily)—Oh, don't both er to break it, Fred. You'd better keep it all. Fred —Aw, te a sport. I bet you're afraid somebody'll see you chewin' it. Gee! There's Jack Parker out there. 1 guess 1 better go out and see him about the game Saturday. (Exit.) Librarian (with a sigh of relief) — Well, our feast of reason and flow of soul is over for today. I shall now make a lightning change from librar ian to janitress and close the li brary. MORE EXCELLENT REPORTS FROM WESTERN CANADA Grains Are Heading Out Rapidly and Harvest Is Now Approaching With a Great Demand for Harvest Help. Last week It was pointed out in these columns that there would be a yield of about 200,000,000 bushels of wheat throughout Western Canada, an increase of about 100,000,000 over the previous year, and that the demand for farm help was very great. Con firmation of this news is to hand and the cry still is for more help. The Canadian authorities are hopeful that the friends of the 400,000 or 500,000 Americans who have gone to Canada .uring the last few years will come to the help of these people and induce as many able-bodied men as they pos sibly can to take advantage of the ow rate which Is being offered from all points on the Canadian Boundary, and particulars of which can be had from any of the following Agents of e Canadian Government: M.

To those who pro pose togo, it may be said that they will have this splendid opportunity ol securing first hand information as to the excellent producing character of the lands in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. They will have the op portunity of seeing some of the great est wheat fields in the world and prob ably the largest yield of wheat, oats and barley that has ever been grown on the Continent. And all this on land some of which cost the settler only the SIO.OO necessary to enter for his homestead, or, if he purchased, in some cases, costing him from $7.00 to SIO.OO per acre, but which is now worth from $15.00 to $20.00 per acre. Even at these prices the land is re markably cheap as will be realized when the statement is made that from 20 to 25 bushels per acre and over of wheat are grown, netting the farm er from SB.OO to SIO.OO per acre; and this on land that he got for nothing or paid merely a nominal price. In fact the production shows that SIB.OO to $20.00 per acre would be a nominal price for land that would produce as these lands produce. No Luck. "I never do have any such luck as the other boys!" complained young Harold. "Why, I am surprised!" answered his mother.

"Yes, but Willie Swaddling's house burned down, and he helped to save things! Tom Anderson's house was robbed and he heard the burglar!
