SHE COULD NOT WALK for Months—Burning Humor on Ankles—Opiates Alone Brought Sleep — Iiczema Yielded to Cuticura. #7 had eczema for over two years. I had two physicians, but they only gave me re- fief for a short time and I cannot enum- erate the ointments and lotions I used to no purpose. My ankles were one mass of sores. "The itching and burning were so in- tense that I could not sleep. I could not walk for nearly four months. One day my husband said T had better try the Cuticura Remedies. After using them three times, I had the best night’s rest in months un- less I took an opiate. I used one set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, and my ankles healed in a short time. It is now a year since I used Cuticura, and there has been no return of the eczema. Mrs. David Brown. Locke, Ark, May 18 and July 13, 1907.” ; Old Time College Penalty. If the Yale faculty a century and a half ago dealt differently with stu- dent offenders, the offenders them- selves were of a somewhat different order. It seems that ‘““one Holmes, a student of this college, on the Sab- bath or Lord's day, traveled unnec- essarily, and that with a burden or pack behind him, from beyond Wal- lingford to this place; which is con- trary to the divine and civil law, as well as to the laws of this college.” The college officials having fined Holmes some 20d sterling, he subse- quently made a public confession of his crime, and afterward became a highly respected minister of the gos- ‘pel. This malefactor, Wentworth Higginson, in Harper's Magazine for July, writing on the aristocratic prestige of old families in this republican country, was a grand- uncle of Dr: Oliver Wendell Holmes. How Iron Exnands. The increase of volume from the heating and cooling ©f cast iron has been the subject of many tests, and 3 it has been shawn that the swelling AE may amount to as much as 40 per 3 “cent. After heating in a gas furnace twenty-seven times, the highest’ tem: perature reached being 1,450 degrees. Fahrenheit, a bar originally one inch square and 14.8 inches long was found to have grown to one and one-eighth inches square and sixteen and one; half inches long. This effect is sug- gested as an explanation of the trou- ble given by cast iron fittings for su- perheated steam, which produces. the same alternate heating and cooling. B ALMOST A SHADCW ! Gained 20 lbs. on Grape-Nuts. There’s a wonderful difference be- tween a food which merely tastes good ‘and one which builds up strength and good healthy flesh. It makes no difference how much we eat unless we can digest it. It is not really food to the system until it is absorbed. A Yorkstate woman ‘says: “I had been a sufferer for ten years with stomach and liver trouble, and had got so bad that the least bit of food such as I then knew, would give. me untold misery for hours after eating. “I lost flesh until I was almost a shadow of my original self and my ‘ friends were quite alarmed about me. | “First I dropped coffee and used § Postum, then began to use Grape- Nuts, although I ad little faith it would do me any good. “But I continued to use the food and have gained twenty pounds in 18 weight and feel like another person © in every way. I feel as if life had truly begun anew for me. “I can eat anything I like now In moderation, suffer no ill effects, be oa my feet from morning until night. Whereas a year ago they had to send me away from home for rest while others cleaned house for me, this spring I have been able to do it my- self all alone. i “My breakfast is simply Grape-Nuts with eream and a cup of Postum, with sometimes an egg and a piece of roast, but generally only Grape-Nuts and Postum. And I can work until noon and not feel as tired as one hour's work would have made me a year ago.” “There's a Reason.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

They are genuine, true, and full of buman says Thomas - 4 Q Raising Turkeys. ., The farmers of the United States generally could profitably increase the number of turkeys they produce. This class of poultry always sells well, and anyone who can give tur- keys a good range cen make a profit from them if he handles them cor- rectly. The excessive death rate during the first few weeks of the poult’s ex- istence is the leading drawback to turkey raising, but most of the trouble *which is so common at this stage can be avoided by careful and judicious management. Be sure that the young do not get chilled while hatching or shortly afterwards, and have their coops made perfectly tight and free from drafts and dampness. . Locate them in a well drained spot where the sun shines unobstructedly for the greater part of the day, until the arrival of sultry summer weather. This mat- ter of freedom from dampness is very essential. Keep the poults confined -to the coop or to a covered run on damp, chilly mornings until all the dew has disappeared from the grass and weeds. Aside from such times, the ‘youngsters may be allowed entire liberty after they are five or six days old. The mother turkey should be restricted, for a time at least, within limited range by means of a string or some other convenient method of this kind. Vermin are frequent source of trouble and loss with poults and tur- keys. This is a matter deserving of more attention than it usually re- ceives, as-lice are generaly numer- ous on turkey fowls. One of the best things that can be done is to give the setting hen a thorough dust- ing with a reliable brand of louse powder two or three days before the eggs commence to hatch; this not only frees the hen from the vermin “through all the trying portions of danger from milk lever with the first calf; but from then on, and. especi- ally with the third and fourth calves, you cannot feed so heavily before calving, neither will she require it; for by this time the habit of milk- giving will have been well formed. Good Milkers, High-grade cows are not any too plentiful and prices for such stock are high. Young milch cows that will yield from thirty-five to fifty pounds of milk per day are worth as many dollars. Farmers and breeders have recognized the demand for fine stock of this class and during the past year many excellent animals have been sélected and kept for raising. Much of course depends upon this selection; the cows for both milk and butter are greatly im- proved by careful selection and feed- ing. The feeding is important. If an animal is stinted and starved and chilled during a period of its growth, it will never fully regain what it has lost, no matter what good treatment it subsequently receives. Successful breeders reccgnize this fully and provide for the winter, and are par- ticularly careful to keep their young stock vigorous, healthy and growing the year. This midway treatment, before stock begins to produce, is often as important a matter as selec- tion. me Pure breeds are not, of. course, necessary to success. It is not pos- sible for every farmer to have pure breeds. He may be a number of years breeding up his herd to a satis- factory high grade standard. Good, milking cows of every breed, and of no particular breed, possess certain qualities in common which guide the farmer in the selection of dairy stock. According to the late Professor Al- vord, of the Department of Agricul- ture, they have generally neat, well- but prevents the poults from con- tracting the vermin from their moth- balanced heads, light fore and heavy hind quarters, mild, gentle eyes, slop- THE AMERICAN CARRIAGE HORSE. The Figures on the Lines Are the Ideal Measurements in Inches. er as soon as they are hatched. Watch the fowls carefully from time to time throughout the summer for indications of the presence of ver- min, and give them treatment for same" frequently. a. Bread crumbs or bread and milk make one of the best poult feeds for the first fey days. After the first few meals an ‘égg, hard boiled and chopped fine, may be added by way of variety. Also, commence feeding oatmeal and cracked ¢orn or wheat, and green cut bone or meat in some form. Feed often and a little at a time for the first few weéks. Fre- quent and careful feeding is very important. A supply of good grit for grinding the food, should be con- stantly accessible to the poults from the beginning. Feeding the Herd, Now, a word about feed. This is a subject to which you will have to give special and careful attention. You must not only look to the needs of your cattle, but you must endeav- or to get their rations as nearly as possible from products of your own farm. Economy is one of your watchwords. But you must make it a study and it will take you several years, says a writer in Holstein- Friesian Register. Look first to the needs of your-cows, and next to the cost of the feed. Your heifer calves should be fed sweet skim-milk for about six months, and you can mix with it a little corn meal and oil meal, or these can be fed separately. After six months, if on good pasture, they will require no feed; but as fall comes on they should not be al- lowed-to run down and become poor before winter feeding is begun. This feed should consist of bran, shorts, oil meal, ete., with fodder, hay and straw for roughage. I would feed no corn. A few weeks before your heifer is due with her first calf you should begin feeding her a mixture of food rich in protein. Do not over- feed her, but gradually increase the feed until by the time she drops her calf she will be getting about all she wants to eat. You will find that she has made a very large udder and will start off with a large flow of milk. For a few days after calving, feed lightly, gradually, increasing, and you will find her responding interest. well to your attention. There is no ing shoulders, rather than upright, large udders, good-sized teats. with well developed milk veins and mel- low skin and soft, glossy coat. The milk of young cows is gen- erally richer than that pf old ones. The most profitable age of the milker is supposed to be from four to nine years. Yet for many years after that cows may be splendid milkers and highly profitable, but their milk becomes relatively somewhat poorer, and the animals eat more, especially during the winter. As animals grow older, having once become lean, they are more difficult to fatten. Farm Poultry. “ln speaking .to the farmers of Greenfield, Mass., nct long ago, Pro- fessor W. P. Brooks, of the State Agricultural College, considered poultry keeping from the standpoint of the farmer. New England he be- lieved to be one of the best sections for poultry keeping, because of the markets and the quality of the soil. Less than one-fifth of the poultry products used in Massachusetts are now raised in that State. A sheltered location on sandy soil was recommended for the poultry buildings. Glass fronts were to be avoided, a better plan being to leave the south side of the house entirely open. Hens in such houses are more hardy and will lay better than those in coops with glass fronts. The front should be protected by cur- tains in severe weather. Experience at the college has proved corn to be a better egg producer than wheat and is less expensive. Animal food ig of great importance, more so than vegetable matter. Rye was found to be a great egg producing food, but usually isetoo high in cost. Changing the Mood. When General Leonard Wood was a small boy he was called up in the grammar class. The teacher said: . “Leonard, give me a sentence, and we’ll see if we can change it to the imperative mood.” “The horse draws the cart,” said Leonard. “Very good. ' Now change the sen- tence to an imperative.” FINANGE AND TRADE REVIEW DUN’S WEEKLY SUMMARY Growth of Confidence Evidenced by Increased Preparation of Fall Business. New York.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s “Weekly Review of Trade” says: “Encouraging reports of commer- cial conditions outnumbering adverse statements, and in almost every in- stance earlier gains are fully main- tained, while the growth of confidence is evidenced by increased preparations for fall trade and a revival of struc- ural work. “Retail trade is reasonably quiet, “but wholesale and jobbing markets are responding to the usual attend- ance of outside buyers, while the big cotton goods anction sale had no de- moralizing effect on prices. Scarcity of hides holds prices at a very high position, and leather is also relative- ly much stronger than other materials of manufacture, which retards busi- ness in footwear. Mercantile collec- tions are irregular, but money is abundant and cheap, and prices of se- curities establish new high records for the year almost daily. “More interest is shown in the iron and steel markets than at any earlier date this year, although the railways are not buying freely. Prices are unchanged, but some furnace and foundry interests will take no more orders without an advance. Domes- tic roads have begun to buy rails, but most new contracts in this departmen: are for export. . “Results of the first big auction sale of dress goods were most satisfactory, relatively high prices belng realized. As to the woolens, most interest is shown in the higher grades of men’s wear. Confidence is shown by some mills that are purchasing raw wool freely, helping to prevent accumula- tion of stocks in Eastern markets, as the new clip comes forward. “Footwear manufacturers in New England report that jobbers continue to purchase conservatlveiy, placing only enough contracts to cover imme- diate needs.” " MARKETS. TO REMOVE OLD PAINT. To remove old paint from wood- work, make a strong solution of wash- ing soda and apply it to the paint with a brush, being careful that it does not get on your hands or cloth- ing. After a short time wash off with a mop, being careful, as before, not to let the liquid touch the flesh or clothing. Ammonia is also a good agent. Use diluted household ammonia and pro ceed as with washing soda. Begin to wash off as soon as the fumes pass off. The paint may be scraped or burned off, but this is a difficult thing for an amateur to do. To clean painted woodwork, two quarts of- hot water, two table spoonfuls of turpentine, one of skim- med milk and soap enough to make suds. The mixture will clean and give luster.

The longer the list of marriages be- tween American heiresses and for- eign noblemen grows the more cer- tain it becomes that the average re- sults are below the American stand- ard. The proportion of divorces and separations is higher and the per- centage of unmistakably happy fam- ‘ilies is smaller in European coun- tries “than in any part of the social world of this country. In ‘fact, if the averages of shipwrecks in marriage were as formidable in {the United States as it is in the ‘matrimonial ventures which ‘take American girls to Europe to be the mistresses of old castles, palaces and mansions, the world would be filled with contempt for American men and ‘women alike. It would be said that American civilization was manifestly a failure and foredoomed to decay, unless it could be reformed radically. But these obvious facts will not : al marriages of prevent internation the usual Kind. The temptations seem too strong to. be resisted. Every bride who takes the risk be- lieves that in her case the dangers which have wrecked so many homes will be averted. She thinks that her venture will be of the happy kind seemingly rare.

If they were better representatives of the man- hood of their own country, in many cases, the titled wooers from abroad would find fewer wives and fortunes in the United States.—Cleveland reader.

In a recent report published by the Iowa State Dairy Commissioner, the average cost of producing one pound of butter is given as follows: In the creamery that makes 40,000 pounds of butter per year, it cosis 4 cents te, make one pound of hutter, and in a creamery producing 50,000 peunds, it costs 3.4 cents to make one pound; while in creameries making 150,000 pounds per year, it costs only 1.85 cents. In some of the very larize central plants, that are prodac- ing over 200,000 pounds of butter per year, it costs 1.4 cents per pound. These figures clearly show that the larger the creamery the cheaper but- ter can be manufactured, and they also show that it takes about 400 cows, tributary to one factory, before a profitable creamery business can be established.
