Pierson, N. Dakota. —“The eczema started on my scalp. It finally went on to the back of my neck, then on to my back, arms and chest. It broke out in pimples first and then seemed to run together in some places, making a sore about the size jpf a dime. At times the itching and burning were so intense that, it seemed unbearable. The more I scratched it the worse it became, and there _, bn a irom . it,"especially on my" scalp, so as to make my hair matted and sticky close to the scalp. The hair was dry, lifeless and thin. My hair was falling so terribly that I had begun to despair of ever finding relief. My clothing irritated the eruption on my back. The affected parts were almost a solid scab. “I had been bothered with eczema for about a year and a half. Then I began using the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I used them daily for two months and I was cured.” (Signed) Miss Mildred Dennis, Apr. 30, 1913. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free,with 32-p. Skin Book.

bricks on each side for tank to rest on Trenching was not good, for during early spring, when earth was heated, it caved in on the side where cattle .were_~,.. *— It is better to build on top of ground and fill up on one side. At door end we put three bricks across under frame and three over it; this being the width of tank. (It takes about 140 bricks to build on top of ground.) At pipe end used pieces of brick, but put pipe too low, so that ashes stopped it up. To remedy this we set up some old sheetiron across back part of fireplace, but not so as to obstruct draft. It is not so convenient to put wood in under tank when a pit is dug. Fence shown is on cattle side, to keep them away from door and pipe. They drink over fence. Posts 'a,” “a,” should be set close to ends of tanks, so that board or plan “b” does not break so easily. Cement may be used in place of brick. As we did not expect to have tank set permanently in place where we had same, we used blue clay for mortar.

Last fall we tried the new way of heating water for our stock. Tlse tank heaters are not in it, becaus > they heat only a very small w«fpr itlfcS while by firing under tank, jftu may use old posts or any wood no: more than length of fireplace, in th s case six feet. The ash pit door is 12xlt> inches. At lower part of dc or we put a one-eighth by two-inch slic e, held ih place by three rivet heads, rivets driven just tight enough to h old in place, so slide works easily. T1 rough slide and door we drilled four three-quarter-inch holes, one and a q xarter inch apart (center of holes) This gives the draft and can be made to keep fire gqlng over night. No i ce on water and cattle don’t stand a -ound shivering with cold after drii king. Some make wooden tanks and, m il on galvanized bottom. This work* allright, too. To save a few bricks we dug a trench long enough for tank and c oor; the trench was fully eight inches narrower than tank to allow a row of

They arrest the egg-eaters; catering them in the very act. j They pick out the layers of I the brownest eggs, and the shape and yjize of the product. f They make the hens tame, owinig to frequent handling, and this in has a tendency to increase the egg production. They prevent crowding on the best, and thus avoid breakage of eggs They enable us to set eggs frort \ the best layers, and in this way w q increase the laying capacity of the flocks.
