A great and growing 1nass of intermediates, men of mixed blood that grade up from almost black to almost white, fill up that great, vawning. impass- able gulf which in America forever separates the black man from the white. It is sure, besides, that the great bulk of the Cuban pcople view with satisfaction, - not discourage- ment, the progressing absorption of the negro in the Cuban population and the whole country looks forward to the day when the black man shall have disappeared. Another cen- tury unmolested and Cubans would make themselves a completely homo- geneous people of mixedblood. Will the canal Americanize Cuba and change her thought? The Cuban black man fears it. For this reason he stretches forth no hand of wel- come to America in Cuba “at any time.—Army and Navy Life. BLACK, ITCHING SPOTS ON FACE. Physicians Called It Eczema,in Worst Foerm—Patient Despaired of Cure —Cuticura Remedies Cure Her. ig “About four years ago | was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and a few covering my body, which produced a gevere itching irritation, and which caused me a great deal of suffering. to such an ex- tent that I was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of After a thor- ough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be skin eczema in its worst form. Their treatment did me no good. Finally I became despondent and de- cided to discontinue their services. Then my husband purchased a single set of the Cuti- cura Remedies, which entirely stopped the breaking cut. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone. I have not felt a symptomn of the eczema since, which was three vears ago. Mrs. Lizzie E.

Do not keep him too fat. Good muscular cenditien and a smart, alert collie are not the resuit of too much feed. Once a week give him a teaspoonful of powdered sulphur in a pan with some milk. It: keeps his blood in fine condition. Use a medi- cated animal soap when washing: him. Disinfect the kennel with crude car- bolic acid once a month. In fall and winter, when washing is out of the question, owing to the unfavorable weather, dust him through all his dense coat with a tobacco dust powder. It is a fine method of keeping his skin clean and insects off after contact with other dogs. Have him clipped in summer, if convenient, and let him go on the vacation with vou.

All told, of been found to eat scale in interesting to note that 1is number comprises representaives of 12 fami- lies, differing widely not only in struc- ture but in habits. They were dis- tributed as follows: Nine wcodpeck- ers, two jays, three orioles, eight spar- rows, one waxwing, six viroes, 11 war- blers, two wrens, one tree creeper, two nuthatches and eight tits cof the tit- house family, one kinglet and cone gnatcatcher of the Old World war- bler family, and the varied thrush and the bluebird. At first thought it strange that the large birds should take the trouble to pick up such small insects scales. Yet the numerous representa- tion of woodpeckers on the list and the fact that the grosbeaks among the bulkier species are most conspicuous scale destroyers prove it unsafe to as- sume that a direct relation exists be- tween the size of a bird and its insect food. At the other extreme of size among scale eaters are some veritable feathered midgets, as, for example, the ruby-crowned kinglet, the black-tailed gnatcatcher, and the bush-tit, the last of which makes more than cne-fifth of its food of scales. Among the majority of these birds, both great and small, there is notice- able one similarity of habit. -They are tree frequenters. On their arboreal ex- cursions they must constantly come across scale insects, and as the latter are no doubt nutritious and are tooth- gome to the avian taste, it is only na- tural that birds should feed upon them. A few species which do not often visit trees, but which are included among the birds known to eat scales, probably secure them very rarely.—In- diana Farmer. re Jd have It is birds iis. species Seems a5 S HOME | wide or as narrow as you want it. | width | length is what you want so you can I — TR Tae = 5 Notes About If your horse is out of condition, do you know why?

RES Horses. ly, and smooth Half. the pleasure of the country life lies in the ownership of a good horse. Every farmer should have a horse that the wife and daughter can ride and drive, as well as the boys. In selecting such,a horse, choose one about fifteen hands and one or two inches high, weighing about 950 to {C30 pounds. He should have a good even dispo- sition, and’ go equally well in harness or under saddle. = Of all the fools who drive horses the ones who rush a horse down hill are the worst. It weakens the tendons and nerves, jars the shoulders and springs the knees. As the cool nights come on be care- ful about putting your horses in the stable when heated from work or driv- ing. Give them a good rubbing all over with a towel or cloth, and put on a light woolen blanket. If the blanket becomes damp, put on a dry one for the night. It is still better to rub the horse un- til he.is dry. It does not take long, and it pays, though few farmers will do-it. It takes much patience to teach a horse seven or eight years old to do new kinds of work. But let patience have her perfect work; the horse is not so much to blame after all.—Farm Journal. Long Chicken Runs. The fellowing from the Farm Press contains-some very sound advice. 1 never yet caw a chicken yard too long, but I "have seen a great many that were too small. I never knew chickens to get sick and make trouble when they had plenty of room and plenty of green stuff. It costs some- thir to fence a long run, but it pays. A feet wide and two yard twenty | hundred yards long may be plowed and i cultivated with horses. If a succession of green stuff is grown, starting in the spring and reseeding at different times during the summer, a yard like this will grow enough to almost feed thir- ty or forty laying hens. Such things as peas and oats may be planted very early in the spring and by having runs may be closed and different grains and vegetables may be planted in season. A zreat deal of picking may be had from corn. They may eat off the young stalks and they may let scme of them grow up, but in any case the chickens get the benefit. Rape is an- other good crop to grow. It may be planted almost any time between spring and early fall. Radishes, beets, buckwheat, in fact, almost anything that grows on the farm, will come in all right in the chicken yard. You may plant in rows and culti- vate occasionally, you may sow broad- cast. You may leave the chickens in the yard or turn them out until the stuff. gets fairly started, according to circumstances. It makes but little dif- ference how you manage, so long as you fit enough ground and plant enough to keep the poultry busy. I. prefer a poultry. yard in an. or- chard, preferably of small fruit trees such as plums, cherries, apricots,prunes and pears. The partial shade from the trees is beneficial to poultry. In this way you don’t feel the expense of giv- ing a whole lot of ground to a poul- try vard. You can just run wire poul- iry netting down the rows between the trees and partition eff a yard as The makes but little difference; get the horses in to do the work. I have seen little yards that were supposed to be dug over frequently. The digging gets done about once; no- bedy has time after that for any such backaching job. The only way to have a chicken yard cultivated is to do it by hersepower. You ‘can't work cross- ways in a narrow lot; you can’t have a chicken yard very wide but you can have it ‘the whole length of the or- chard ard it will pay to do it. Bungalow Hcuses. The bungalow, the camp, or what. cver one’s retreat in the wilderness or by the shore is called, is said to be influencing architecturally» the build- ing of an occasional all-the-year-round house in suburban and near-by coun- try places. One big living room run- ning the length and nearly the breadth of the house, with a small kitchen tucked in an out-of-the-way corner, three or four sleeping rooms overhead, and a porch suitably screened to allow cutdoor sleeping quarters, make up the ideal residence. —Boston Transcript.
