DOCTOR SAID “USE CUTICURA” For Bad Case of Eczema on Child— Disease Had Reached a Fearful State—Order Resulted in Cure. “When I was small I was troubled with eczema for about three months. It was all over my face and covered nearly all of my’ head. It reached such a state that 1t was just a large scab all over, and the pain and itching were terrible. 1 doctored with an able physician for some time and was then - advised by him to use the Cuticura Rem- edies; which I did and I was entirely cured. I have not been:bothered with it since. I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, but do not know exactly how much was used to complete the cure.

The first half of the year, which has been one of the most trying periods in the history of the rion trade, closes with some encouraging signs. Pro- gress toward recovery siowly but sure- ly has been made, and there is rea- son for hoping for a continuance of this progress. The prospecto f avoid- ing seritus labor conflicts is more favorable. The signing of the wage scale affecting sheet and tin plate workers, the failure of the union to precipitate a strike on the lakes are among the indications that there is little danger of conflicts between la- bor and capital. The pig iron market continues strong so far as prices are concerned and a very fair volume of business is being transacted. : In the New York district contracts. of good size have been closed for structural material. The plate .mills report a slightly better run of work. The Erie rail road has placed an order for 7,500" tons of steel rails, but little has been done in structural material. The im- pression is growing that the placing of contracts is being delayed pending a further reduction in the price. In the Chicago district the Western Elec- tric Company is figuring on extensions which will call for about 15,000 tons.” A settlement has been reached on the wage scale for the vear between the Amalgamated Association and the American Sheet & Tin Plate Compa- ny, reducing tin plate wages 5 per cent in the Union mills, which repre- sent 60 per cent of the capacity. Al- most to a man, copper mine managers boast of lowering costs through high- er labor efficiency. Few admit a cost above 11 cents and some claim eight cents. All are pushing output.

Remedy for Lice. A good way to rid a chicken coop of lice is to take a large piece of woolen cloth, wrap it around the end of a broom stick with a piece of wire, saturate with kerosene oil, light and pass it around under all the roosts and cracks of the house and in all the nests after you have removed all straw. This will roast out the mites and not not burn and drop off like paper or other cloth. A good time to do this is right after a rain.—Mrs. J. More- head. Too Many Young Bulls. is breeding so much from the young and immature bulls. It is the custom with some dairymen to not think of’ keeping a bull after he is two or three years old at the most. By that age he is just beginning to get old enough to show whether or not he has any value as a breeder or not. Nothing can be told of a bull’s breeding powers until the first crop of calves are matured, It is regrettable that a good bull has to go oftentimes when his usefulness is just beginning while so many yearlings and two-year-olds that ought to have gone, when they were at the age of skinners are allowed to do duty. A good bull one that shows his pre- potency and his ability to get calves that become good cows, should only be killed when his power as a breeder is at an end. If you cannot keep him yourself on account of in-breeding in your herd see that semebody else has him. If a young bull is worth a cer- tain sum before he is tried he certain- ly is worth more after he is tried. A bull’s calves will tell a truer story of him than any man can tell.—Prof. P. A. Campbell, Agricultural College, Cr- ono, Me. Oats as a Poultry Food. A good many farmers consider oats a dangerous feed for chickens, believ- ing that the sharp, pointed hulls will damage or even pierce the fowl’s craw. This is usually a mistake although oc- casionally where svery stiff or hard pointed oats are used trouble may be caused. Fowls should not be allowed to gorge themselves exclusively on oats, but a liberal quantity of oats may satisfy and profitably be fed to fowls, as oats are one of the best balanced grains for feeding to poultry there is. A plentiful supply of grit will go a long way toward preventing any troubles arising from the use of oats. Also see ‘that the fowls -have an abundance of fresh water at all times. The grit grinds the food while the water soft- ens the hull and renders it less hard and stiff. Where oats are fed in large quantities on large poultry farms, they are often thoroughly cooked in water before feeding; the fowls relish the oats more when treated in this way, the grains increase in size and a like amount will go further, and there is absolutely no danger of bad results from feeding soaked oats. Den’t be stingy in the use of oats; they are a bone and muscle making food and an egg producer. —Epitomist. How Butter Takes Salt.

The moisture, the water, that is in the butter must dissclve the gall. lt is clear then, that to get a ball of but- ter salted in all its parts equally it is necessary to get the moisture, the carrier of the salt, distributed equal- ly in all parts of the butter. If the moisture, the carrier of the salt, is present in the butter in little pockets, the butter fat near the pockets will be salted more heavily than the butter fat farther away. Before the salting is dome let the butter drain well atter washing it. Dif- ferent individual tastes will vary as to how much butter should be salted and there may be some variation in the requirements of different markets. Since salt is cheaper than butter fat, . it would seem good business to salt the hatter fully as heavily as the taste of the purchaser likes. As a general rule, putter that is medium soft after being worked should receive as many ounces of salt as there are pounds of butter gs a maximum, and from that down to three-fourths as many ounces of salt as there are pounds Of bug er.—Pro- gressive Farmer. _, Raising and Feeding Calves: It should be our aim from the mo- ment the calf is born until it is a full | grown animal to keep it in a thriving and growing condition.

A something lost’ for- ever. When we neglest to keep these young things" thriving not only is the food wasted, but a waste of time is also involved. IA" It should be the aim of all feeders to build up a good. vigorous constitution and a strong, healthy frame during the first year of the calf’s life, for unless this is being done he is doing precise- ly the opposite. There is no ‘middle court or stand still course in growing a calf. At the end of two years of proper and progressive feeding and management the feeder will be re- warded “with an animal possessing a strong, healthy « appearance, with a well developed frame, its bones will | be covered with an abundance of flesh and fat, and its skin and hair -soft and mellow.

Starting Alfalfa. There are different ways of laying down a plot or a field of alfalfa, and we would suggest the following meth- od as one which is likely to give very excellent results. Select land having a clean, mellow, fertile surface soil overlying a deeply drained sub- soil having mo acidity. Use large, plump seed, free from impurities and strong in germinating power. Inocu- ‘late the seed with the proper kind of bacteria, providing alfalfa has. not been grown successfully on the land in recent years. As early in the spring as the land. is dry and warm enough to be worked to good advantage, make a suitable seed- bed and immediately sow about twenty pounds of alfalfa seed per acre from the grass seed box placed in front of the grain drill, and about ‘one bushel of spring wheat or of barley per acre from the tubes of the drill. Smooth the land with a light harrow or with a weeder; and if it is very loose and rather dry, also roll it and again go over it with the harrow or the wezder. As soon as ripe, cut the grain and avoid leaving it on the land longer than necessary. Give the alfalfa plants every opportunity to get a good start in the autumn in preparation for the winter. If for hay, cut each crop of alfalfa in the following year as soon as it starts to bloom. In curing try to re- tain as many leaves on’ the stems as possible, and to protect the crop from rain. Never cut or pasture alfalfa suf- ficiently clese to the ground to re- move the crowns of the roots and thus injure or possibly kill the plants. If these directions are followed, the al- falfa may be expected to produce large and valuable crops for a nulaber of years without reseeding.—C. A. Zavitz, Ontario Experiment Station. Notes of the Farm. The profit of poultry is in the egg basket, not in the dressed chicken. The ‘draft horse breeds lead the horsebreeding industry of this country, both because of the wide demand and sale at good prices. The large cities must have these big draft horses to handle the heavy hauling. The bull sheu!d be fed good, nour- ishing food, but not of a fattening na- ture. . There should be some of rough- ing along with the corn, cats or bran he gets. He should be thrifty, but not fat; active, but not sluggish. Let the little pigs have plenty of room to exercise and grow, but don’t allow them to run over the entire place. It teaches them bad habits, and, moreover, they are liable to be run ower and hurt. A crippled pig is poor property. vin A good dusting of “the sitting hen with pyrethrum Will save the: little chicks from ‘onslaughts of lice or mites. This powder should also be mixed in the dusting bath of the fowls for then the birds themselves will apply the powder unconsciously. : Yellow dock is causing serious trouble in mowing lands, but the act- ual number of the plants is not so great as might be supposed, “and a few hours’ work pulling them out by hand when the ground is soft after a rain will free a large field of the pest. It is impossible to say just how soon in her life a heifer should be bred. The distinctive, specialized dairy breeds may be bred earlier than the larger strains; Some heifers at 16 months agecas fully developed as others at 24. Therefore the experienced breeder will breed according to development.
