Badly Affected vrith Sores and Crusts Extended Down Behind the Ears Another Cure by Cuticura. "About ten years ago my scalp became badly affected with sore and itchIns bumors, crusts, etc., and extended down behind the ears. My hair came out la pV.ces, also. I was greatly troubled: understood it was eczema. Tried various remedies, so called, without effect. Saw your Cuticura advertisement, and got the Cuticura Remedies at once. Applied thin as to directions, etc., and after two weeks, I think, of use, was clear' as a whistle. I have to state also that late last fall, October and November, 10O1, I was suddenly afflicted with a bad eruption, painful and itching pustules over the lower part of the body.

When her father, her mother, her aunt, her uncle, and one or two more distant relations followed Vach other to a neighboring hospital, whence each returned without an appendix, Muriel "observed carefully" but with Increasing alarm the narrowing circle of those who remained Thole. One day her mother discovered her in bed. wide-eyed, in mid-afternoon. "Why, Muriel!" she exclaimed. "What are you Id bed for? You are not ill?" "No, mamma," said Muriel, "but I have observed that when persons have their appendices removed they complain chiefly of the tiresomeness of lying so long on their backs afterward. So I have begun to practice for an hour or two every afternoon lying on my back, to be ready for it when my turn comes." .

It X Xearly a Large as the Stat of Connecticut. Fence off the State of Connecticut from the Thames River to the New Fork line, make the capitol at Hartford the manor house, then place the froni gate at New Ilarenand you. will have an estate of about the dimensions of the King ranch, in Hidalgo, Star, and Nueces, Texas, says the Review of R views. One? million acres and hundredl of thousands of cattle owned by one vornan! Ranches containing from 100, 000 to 500,000 acres are so numerous as to be almost commonplace. ? But it is the breaking up of these vast holdings which Is responsible for the sensational development now attracting the attention of all America. One optimistic Texan told me that the cattlemen had tired of silence and longed for company. Maybe they have. It Is the Jingle of gold, though, which has stirred them. From five to thirty acres of grass, according to the productiveness of the sol 1,-are" required to fatten s steer. ' So long as that steer's selling prlct pays above all expenses, 6 per cent on the market value, of the land, there Is money In raising it. When the land Increases In value, however, there is mon money in selling the ranch. The steel Is falling behind and that is why Texa from San Antonio, Houston and Galveston on the north to Brownsville on the south, Is booming as it never did before. Mere outposts of a few years ago are flourishing young cities now; more town? are springing up and there are great plantations where the- rattle of the mower and the song of the plowjaan have supplanted the crack of the cowboy's lash and the soughing of the wind In the chaparral., Whither goes the cattleman? To western Texas and the territories and eventually into Mexico. "COFFEE JAGS." The Doctor Earned Tbem Correctly Some one said "Coffee never hurt any one." Enquire of your friends aad note their experiences. A Philadelphia woman says: "Daring the last 2 or 3 years I became subject to what the doctor called coffee Jags' and felt like I have heard men say they feel who have drank too much rum. It nauseated me, and I felt as though there was nothing but cofTee flowing through my veins. "Coffee agreed well enough for a time, but for , a number of years I have known that it was doing me great harm, but, like the rum toper, t thought I could not get along without It It mafo me nervous, disordered my di gestio: destroyed my sleep and brought on fr ;t and very distressing headWhen I got what the doctor called a 'coffee Jag' on, I would give up drinking it for a few days till my stomach regained a little strength, but I was always fretful and worried and nervous till I was able to resume the use of the drug. "About a year ago I was persuaded to try Tostum, but as I got It In restaurants It was nothing but a sloppy mess, sometimes cold, and always weak, and of course I didn't like It Finally I prepared some myself, at home, following the directions carefully, and found It delicious. I persevered in It? use, quitting the old cofTee entirely, and feeling better and better each day, . till I found at last, to my great Joy, thai my ailments had all disappeared and my longing for coffee had come to an end. "I have heretofore suffered Intensely from utter exhaustion, besides the other ailments and troubles, but this summer, using Postum, I have felt fine." Name given by Tostum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Restaurant cooks rarely prepare Postum Coffee properly They do not let it boll Ions enough.

The cow needs a rest of at least six weeks between lactation periods. Dogs that worry chickens should be broken of thj habit or disposed of. The best method of utilizing the byproducts of the dairy is by keeping hogs. ! Spade up the poultry run. It will turn up' many worms, and the rain will wash down into soil much filth. War ought to be declared on the scrub. In making this war on him do oot confine ail your efforts to the scrub on your neighbor's farm. Apply the lice-killer to the roosts an hour or two before the .hens retire for the night. While they sit upon the roost, the lice-killer does the work. Eggs for Incubation may be kept three to four weeks at 43 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit, but they lose a little strength every day during which they are kept. . Nothing else is so good to prevent the presence of lice on the poultry as to clean up the houses and paint every crack and crevice and roost with some liquid lice-killer. It Is very unprofitable for the farmer or poultry raiser to let their fowls sit out on trees and fences at night during the cold winter nights, a sight which we frequently see. A Western farmer has found that prairie dogs have a liking for soap so he soaped his dog town heavily and they ate so heartily of the substance that it killed them. It has been found a poor plan to let the'milk freeze 1o the sides of the can In cold weather when being taken to the creamery. The grade can be lowered In this manner very easily. They can be protected against freezing by a generous covering of blankets while on the way. Elect a man to the office of school director who has enough interest- in schools to devot some time to mfiklng the school house and grounds pleasant and inviting. Please kf, be small enough to compare the present conditions with those of your own when you were a boy. Give your children better üdvantages than you had every time. Roots of all kinds can he fed to poultry with advantage In the winter time to supply green food. We have found It a good practice to split the roots and allow the hens to pick out the contents. ' Where the roots were small, we drove a nail through one end and Into a board or the side of the house to prevent them from being dragged around and soiled. Ü. T. Cox, of Ohio, says In an exchange : I sprayed five times last year, using Bordeaux arsenlte of soda and arsenate of lead all combined, but the last. two applications we did not use quite as much blue vitriol, and none of the foliage was harmed. Some growers have injured the foliage by using strong mixture all the season . when four or five applications have been made. I purpose to spray five times again this year, and think It pays. Too many growers fail to do a thorough Job, and do not make enough application to have fruit free from worms and scab. That Is one Job it pays to do well. . ' - Clover Seed. Of the thirteen principal clover seed producing States one namely, Illinois reports an Increased acreage, fout namely, Ohio, Utah, California and Colorado report no change In acreage, and all the other principal States report decreases. . In Ohio and Utah condlt!ons are reported the same as their ten year average, while in all other principal States conditions are above such average. . Dutch or Cot taste Cheese. A toothsome and nutritious article of food Is made from sour skimmed milk, or huttermllk, by allowing the casein to coagulate by the action of lactic acid already formed, and then expelling the water by the aid of heat. The sour milk Is heated to a temperature of 130 degrees to 335 degrees. The whey Is drained off the curd through a straining cloth, and the curd Is then kneaded by the hand ; salt is added, and the product is Improved by the addition of cream or tutter, and a little nutmeg, sage or enraway. It is usually sold and e tf't In a fresh state, but it may be .Ejected to certain curing processes, whica materially change its character. Costly Economy. The most extravagant "economy' for a breeder Is to use a poor sire. The adage, "The bull Is half the herd," is everlastingly true, and to reduce the standard of the bull Is to reduce the value of the herd by the same percentage; hence to reduce the investment In a buU 25 per cent might save, say, $50 on the bull, but 25 per cent resulting reduction In the value of the herd would mean a reduction, or loss, amounting piobably to hundreds of dollars. Too many breeders are so shortsighted that they can only see the $50 saved on the purchase of the bull, but cannot see in the succeeding seasons why the output falls In value by $500 or $1,000 under what it would have been with a first-class full-blooded sire. Farmers Advocate. Turning Vegetable Tops. Certain agricultural papers are advocating that all vegetable tops be thrown on the ground and plowed under whenever convenient; the potato plant is especially recommended for this treatment, for the potash contained in the plant While there is some advantage to be gained in the method suggested, especially with the potato plant, the maiu advantage of the plan is the amount of humus added to the soil and the plan is all right so far as the tops of vegetables which the farm animals will not consume are concerned, but with any vegetable tops that can be consumed by any of the stock it Is much more valuable in tie form of manure, to say nothing of the value to the animal in, at least, furnishing rariety. The waste of vegetable tops

on the farm constitutes one of the leaks which ought to be stopped. There is not a vegetable top but what can be turned into a fertilizer, and at little or no cost, if one will but intelligently seek out the way to do it to the best advantage. Indianapolis News.

Green Food for Svrlne. Don't feed all the unsalable potatoes and the pumpkins to the cows and horses, but give the swine enough to keep their appetites in good condition. Take a large pumpkin and divide it equally into ten pieces ; cut up each piece until it is as large as one's hand. Then, take two quarts of unsalable potatoes and a quart of bran. Mix the lot, moisten it well with skim milk, and give this quantity to each hog once a day for a month, and you'll see a decided difference in the way they will take on fat when you are ready to put them in that condition for the fall markets. As we have said before in this department, it pays to give the swine variety as much as any of the farm animals. Keep Unman In Orchnrd Soil. The soil of the orchard frequently becomes exhausted without the owner suspecting it In many orchards the grass is mowed and made into hay. This removes annually a certain amount of humus from the ground. In the meantime the trees themselves are removing humus by their roots and putting It into fruit and foliage. The fruit Is carted away, and the leaves fall to the ground. These leaves do not get baqk Into the ground to form humus,, as they would in a state of nature, but are driven by the wind into windrows, and then raked up and burned by the orchardist, intent upon improving the appearance of his orchard, or of destroying the Insects and fungi that are on the leaves and twigs mingled with them. ' Some Polnta on the Male; In a late number of the Michigan Farmer a Michigan writer gives the strong points of the mule. Among other things, he says if you want them to go faster than a walk mules will take a good road gait and when they get tired rest them by letting them run twenty or thirty rods. It will pay any community of farmers to club together and buy a Jack and raise their own mules. If, however, they think of so doing they should employ or consult some reliable psrty who is posted on the qualities necessary to be reasonably sure of getting a good sire, and then use good mares. To be sure, many a mare past breeding when used with a stallion will breed with a Jack all right, and if she is a good, rugged and healthy mare produce a good animal. The best class of mules Is raised from good, stylish, wide-awake mares crossed with a well-bred Jack. He should not be selected all on account of his beauty, for many of them are fine lookers, but he should have plenty of bone, be rather coarse in the head, with large feet and good size, at least fifteen hands high, and should weigh not less than 800 pounds in breeding condition. The Boy and the Farm. The wonderful strides in agricultural science, as well as the vast Increase in the Insect enemies of growing things, has both boomed and deterred farm work as a profession, so that the oldtime Ideas of farming cannot be said to bring success except in r. very moderate degree. The farming of the future must be done by the boys and girls of to-day, and we owe it to our children to give them the best possible chance to gain knowledge which will help them tin their life work.. If the bo v Is se riously interested in agriculture, It will be a paying Investment to give him a course in an agricultural college. If one cannot afford the full course of four years, or If the boy Is not sufficiently well educated to take this course, give him the shorrer one of two years, or, better than nothing, let him take the short winter course of from ten to twelve weeks and 6tudy the particular branch In which he Is Interested. Tou will find that his Interast in the work will be enough greater to warrant the expense. True, he may not learn a great deal In the t short course, but it will be enough to open his eyes to the possibilities, and he will be placed on the right track to study and work by himself. Talk to the boy about it aiid write to the agricultural college of your State for detailed information. A. Wild FUwcr Garden. It will be a fad' this year for amateur flower lovers to plant for the admiration of their friends, gardens of wild flowers, transplanted from the woods. Many of the plants found In the woods and fields have foliage and flowers as beautiful as the highly cultivated kinds. With the first touch of spring, before the snow and Ice has disappeared from the more densely shaded places, the first wild flowers begin to bloom, and there Is a constant succession of gay blossoms, Increasing In splendor, until late In September, when many of their wild flowers are at their best By making trips to the woods at various seasons the flower lover ,may transplant such speclmcnts of each variety as pleases his fancy. At home a bed should be prepared for them, placed where the plants may have some protection from the hot sun, and be watered regularly. The soil should be thoroughly enriched with well-rotted manure, or some commercial fertilizer. It Is best to plant the wild flowers as a border, with all varieties mixed, as most' of them are perennials and It will be unnecessary to replant the border yearly, except to replace those that die. Owing to the different flowering seasons of the various varieties, If the bed Is well furnished with many sorts, there will be constant succession of bloom all the summer. It is best to begin working the ground for the bed as soon In the spring as It is dry enough. The transplanted flowers should be carefully and regularly watered until they are well established. Afterwards it is only necessary to keep the weeds out The seeds of many of the best wild flowers can be purchased cf the seedmen,

CHANG'S IN FISH HABITAT.

Work of the United State B arena Contains Interesting Facts. Although the results of Introducing certain fishes of the eastern seaboard Into western waters have been often mentioned in the reports of the commissioner of fisheries, reference should a.ain be made to the increasing abunJance of the shad and the striped bass an the Taclfic coast. The yearly catch of these fish for market at this time Is upward of 4,000,000 pounds, for .fhich the fishermen receive nearly 200,000. The reported aggregate sales jf the two species to the end of the calendar year 1004 were 20,400,000 pounds, tt-ith a value of $955,000 at the prices actually paid to the fishermen. By the way of reciprocity In past rears experiments have been made upon i- rather extensive scale to acclimate the chinook salmon on the Atlantic ?oast, large numbers of eggs having been transported across the continent, hatched and distributed in waters deemed suitable for the purpose. No results appear to have followed these fforta and It is probable that the northwestern rivers are no longer capable of sustaining such a large, vigorous species. It has, therefore, been .determined to attempt the Introduction of sther west coast salmon, particularly the silver salmon and the humpbick salmon. The excellent steelhead trout of the Pacific coast Introduced Into Lake Superior about Un years ago. appear to have become firmly established In the lake and Its tributaries and has now begun to figure In the commercial fisheries. Some eggs have been taken from wild fish and hatched at, the Duluth station. Another noteworthy case of acclimatization in Lake Superior Is that of the bluefln or black fin whitefish. Introduced from Lake Michigan. This fish has now become exceedingly abundant and many millions of pounds have been caught and sold by the fishermen. Its eggs are hw regularly collected and incubated at the Duluth hatchery. , The only considerable fields of anthracite coal, aside from that of Pennsylvania, are those of China, which, however, are vast in comparison with Pennsylvania's. Near Leeds, England, la a summer house made wholly of buttons of every imaginable kind, and in the same county is a room, the walls of which are adorned entirely by the ribbons of cigars, nearly 20,000 of these being represented. 1 At Llscard, in Cheshire, England, Is a room that contains hundreds of picture frames made of every imaginable substance, from leather to tigers bones, 3ne frame being placed within another, according to size, so that the whole surface is covered with frames.

In Liverpool is a room that of a dentist whose grandfather occupied the same premises that contains many mirrors and pictures, the frames of which are made entirely of sharks' teeth. Near Birmingham a manufacturer has a study that is lined, even to the :oof, with nothing but chains of various thicknesses and padlocks of different sizes. Piof. J. R. Green, president of the botanical section of the British Association, in his address at Belfast remarked that we are fact to face with the possibility of treating some of the diseases of plants In a way similar to that in which animals are rendered Immune to attacks of Illness. He cited the recent experiments of Beauverle, who allowed cuttings of begonia to grow in earth impregnated with a species of fnngus which is an attenuated form of the Botrytis clnere, a destructive parasite of plants. . Arter impregnation the begonia plants were subjected to attack by the parasite, and resisted It perfectly. .Similar results have been obtained by Prof. Marshall Ward. A naturalist, while visiting Greai Sangin, one of those Islands of the Indian Ocean known as the Celebes, oi Spice Islands, found a curious time recorder lodged at the house of a rajah. Two -tattles were firmly lashed together, and fixed in a wooden frame. A quantity of black sand ran from one bottle into the other in Ja't half an hour and when the upper bottle was empty the frame was reversed. Twelve short sticks, marked with notches from one to twelve, were hung upon a string. A hook was placed between the stick bearing the number of notches corresponding to the hour last struck and the one to be struck next The sentry announced the time by striking the hours on a large gong. A German anthropologist, Herr Thllenlas, has recently shown that pygmies now only found In the interior of Africa were, during prehistoric times, spread over parte of Europe. Numerous skeletons found in Silesia show that the stature of the men they represent was not much above four and one-half feet There were pygmies In Switzerland and in Alsace also. These dwarf races were in no wise degenerates. They appear to have persisted up to comparatively recent times. The pygmies of Silesia, for instance, were contemporary with the Romans, and they continued up to the tenth century. At present there is no vestige of such a race, but their skeletons remain to prove their existence. Ills Sore Spot.

Woman's Narrow llorlion. A government employer of many women clerks has declared that not one in twenty reads the papers or knows anything of geography or contemporary events, says Success Magazine. "Ask them if the Panama Canal is to ba at sea level or not and they will stare as if you were talking Chinese," he complained. "They may read the horrors in the papers, but they skip everything of value." He had his fin-' ger fiatly on one of woman's chief defects the lack of broad, impersonal interests.

When the body is weak and the blood thin it is sometimes difficult to find the cause unless a wasting illness has preceded, or the sufferer happens to be a girl on the vergo of womanhood. Obscure influences, something unhealthf ul in one's surroundings or work, may lead to a slow impoverishment of the blood and an enfeeblement of the whole body. When a serious stage has been reached there seems to bo nothing that will account for it. Mr. C. E. Legg, of Tipton, "W. Va., has found a successful method of treating weakness and LloodlessueRs. He says: "I used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for weakness caused by a lingering malarial fever that beau in tho spring of 1896. The worst effects of this were indigestion and a bad state of my blood. I was anaemic, as the doctors say. People generally would say that I didn't have blood enough, or that I didn't have the right kind of blood ; mine was too thin. My kidneys and liver were out of ortler. I was badly annoyed by sour risings from my stomach. There was a good deal of pain, too, in my back and uuder my right shoulder blade." How long did these troubles last? " "For over two years. For four mouths of that time I was uuder the care of a physician, but his medicine did me uo good. Meanwhile I learned of the cures that had been wrought by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." "You owe your cure to these pills?" " I certainly do, and I also know that they are helping others to whom I have recommended them. They have real merit and I know of nothing that wou!d take their place."

The Case cf Miss Irene Crosby Is One of Thousands of Cures made by Lydia EL Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. How many women realize that it is not the plan of natnre that women should suffer so severely. 14iss Irene Crosby Thousands of American women, however, have found relief from all monthly suffering by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it is themost thorough female regulator known to medical science. It cures the condition which causes so much discomfort and robs these periods of their terrors. Miss Irene Crosby, of 313 Charlton Street, East Savannah, Ga., writes: " Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a true friend to woman. It has been of great benefit to me, curing me of irregular and painful periods "when everything else had failed, and I gladly recommend it to other suffering women." Women who are troubled with painful or irregular periods, backache, bloating (or flatulence), displacement of organs, inflammation or ulceration, that ' bearing-down " feeling, dizziness, faintness, indigestion, nervous prostration or the blues, should take immediate action to ward off the seri ous consequences, and be restored to perfect health and strength, by taking5 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, and then write to Mrs. Fink ham, Lynn, Mass., for further free ad vice. She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising1 women free of charge. Thousands have been cured by so doing.
