TORE HIS SKIN OFF In Shreds—ltching? Was Intense— Sleep Was Often Impossible— Cured by Cuticura in 3 Weeks. “At first an eruption of small pustules commenced on my hands. These spread later to other parts of my body, and the itching at times was intense, so much so,that I literally tore the skin off in shreds in seeking relief. The awful itching interfered-with xny work considerably, and also kept me • awake nights. I tried several doctors and used a number of different ointments and lotions, but received practically no benefit. Finally I settled down to the use of Cuticura Soap, ■ Cuticura Ointment aud Cuticura Pills, with the result that in a few days all itching had ceased and in about three weeks’ time all traces of my eruption had disappeared.

Experience of a Fishing; Party on a Mexican River. A party of English fishermen had an unusual and most exciting experience in the Panuco River recently with a large sting ray or devilfish. It is very rarely that these fish are seen in the river, for they are supposed to confine themselves to the sea, although they are often encountered near the coast, along the south Atlan tic and in the Gulf of Mexico. Occasionally a small devilfish is taken by fishermen near the coast of Florida, but their appearance in the Panuco River is something unheard of before. The party of fishermen in question consisted of Captain A. Paget, Captain Molyneaux, Sir Charles Cost, .Major Ramsden, Captain Robert Duff and Lady Juliet Duff, who were out in small boats Jn quest of tarpon when three of these monster rays were encountered. One of the boats being supplied with a small harpoon threw it ; nto the nearest ray. The other boats came to the assistance and made fast in an effort to keep the first boat, which was fast being towed seaward by the monster devilfish, but the five boats and a launch which had come up in the meantime were towed down the river with as little effort as if they had been mere toys invented for the playthings of this queer shaped monster. After several minutes of the wildest excitement which has ever been experienced by fishermen in the Panucfe they succeeded in dragging the monster into, comparatively shallow water and were congratulating -themselves on the probable capture of the great fish when the monster gave «T mighty flop that threatened to engulf all the small boats, flashed under the launch, almost capsizing it, and succeeded in tearing out the harpoon and, thus escaped. This fish is said to measure at lestst 18 feet from tip to'tip of its wing shaped fins, or flippers, while the two others from s he glimpse gained were nearly -the sama size.—Tamnico Cor. Mexican Herald. OVER THE FENCE. Neighbor Says Something. The front yard fence Is a famous council place on pleasant days. Maybe to chat with some one along the street, or for friendly gossip with next door neighbor. Sometimes it is only small talk, but other times neighbor has something really good to offer. An old resident of Baird, Texas, got some mighty good advice this way once. He says: “Drinking coffee left me nearly dead with dyspepsia, kidney disease and bowel trouble, with constant pains in my stomach, back and side, and so weak I could scarcely walk. “Qne day I was chatting with one of my neighbors about my trouble apd told her I believed coffee hurt me. Neighbor said she knew lots of people to whom coffee was poison and she pleaded with .me to quit it and give Postum a trial. I did not take her advice right away, but tried a change of climate which did not do me any good. Then I dropped coffee and took up Postum. “My improvement began immediately and I got better every day I used Postum. “My bowels became regular and in two weeks all my pains were gone. Now I am well and strong and can eat anything I want to without distress. All of this is due to my having quit coffee, and to the use of Postum regularly, “My son who was troubled with Indigestion thought that if Postum helped me so, it might help him. It did, teo, and he is now well and strong again. “We like Postum as well as we ever liked the coffee and use it altogether In my family in place of coffee and all ' keep well.” “There’s a Reason.” Read “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs.

AMGRICULTURAL

Inoculation of Clover. “Clovers do not always grow as readily or as vigorously as might be expected from the richness of the soil. In recent years it has been discovered by scientists that the growth of plants it this class (clovers, peas and beans £ is dependent to some extent on the presence of smtfll nodules or bunches in the roots. These nodules contain bacteria which in some mysterious way issis.t the roots in taking up food from the 'Soil. If these bacteria are not present in the soil the clovers will- be? likely to make poor growth—indeed, alfalfa may not make any growth. If the projier kind of bacteria are Supplied and the inoculation of soil and root is successful the plants will show ?xtra vitality. Cultures containing these bacteria nave been sent out to farmers from the Ontario Agricultural College for :he past four years, with directions for applying to the fields that are being seeded with clover. Last season 109 farmers reported that their alfalfa ;rops had been benefited by the application while 140 reported that there was no gain. With alsike clover the reports Were equally favorable over 36 per cent of the experiments finding that the culture had improved the prop. With red clover the results were not so favorable, only 55 per cent having noted' a gain. . Peas and beans showed still less benefit from the application. As the work is still in its infancy it is probable that better results will be obtained as the methods to n fX ’ « INOCULATED UNTREATED ALFALFA. ALFALFA. pf application are better understood. The illustration shows the comparative growths of inoculated and uninoculated alfalfa plants. In a bulletin just issued it is stated that tb« cultures will again be distributed for 1909 at a price >f 25 cents for each bottle containing snough for 60 pounds of seed.—MontreakStar. Soil Teiiti*vruture and Seed Germination. Scientists discovered that the lowest soil temperature at which the process of growth begins in most cultivated crops is 45 to 48 degrees Fahrenheit, but the maximum results are attained only after the soil has reached a temperature of 68 to 70 degrees. The germination of wheat, rye.. oats and flax go forward most rapidly at 77 to 87.8, and corn and pumpkins germinate best at 92 tb 101. Corn will grow at a temperature of 51. requiring eleven days to come through, while it will germinate in three days at 65.3 degrees. Oats require seven days to germinate at 41. whereas they will germinate in two days at 65 degrees, These facts .emphasize the importance of so cultivating the soil as to develop heat at the earliest possible period. Our seep soils where irrigation has played hob can not warm up because they must first evaporate the water. Sandy soils warm more quickly than adobe for reasons which everyBody understands. The depth of planting also has a great deal to do with the germination, and we are hoping that this spring wiN not linger long in the lap of winter asSvas the case with the last two or three seasons.—Denver 5 Field and Farm. —§ —' Swiss Farm Profits. There has been recently made an in.eresting report of investigations carried on co-operatively between the Department of Agriculture and farmers ; n Switzerland as to the gross and net •eturns derived from farms operated mder different systems of managenent in 1906, the returns being compared with those secured during the preceding five years. IThe average profits as ascertained from 230 holdings were: On farms up to 12% acres in size, s2l per acre; from 12% to 25 acres, $21.50; from 25 to 37% acres, sl7; from 37% to 75 acres, $lB, and from farms of more than 75 acres, $10.25 per acre. Nearly 80 per cent of the products raised on Swiss farms consisted of animal, dairy and poultry products, an enormous quantity of such products being annually exported. This shows the result of cultivating a small amount of land well. Balancing; Ration. When one has corn, corn fodder, ensilage and clover hay, it is considered the best practice for one to procure a food rich in protein, such as bran, cot-

-*■ ton-sjeed meal or linseed meal, with which to balance the ration. If one mixes bran, corn and cotton-seed meal in the proportion of 5 parts bran, 3 parts cornmeal, 2 parts cotton-seed meal, and feeds 10 pounds of the mixture each day, with 30 pounds of ensilage and 10 pounds of clover hay, he will get very good results. Molasses is ordinarily fed by sprinkling over the hay or ensilage.—Country Gentleman Early Plowing. The value of early plowing as a means of destroying weedfe. especially rag weed, wild oats, artichokes, etc., is not appreciated fully by farmers. Similar weeds grow in a most discouraging manner, especially on low, moist land, during the summer, and in many instances take possession of the fields, They will appear on the scene next year, in multiplied numbers, if an effort is not made to destroy them this summer, which can best be dons by .early plowing. The plow should be started in these weedy patches just as soon as the fields are cleared. Rag weeds are rank growing soil robbers which should not be permitted to ripen seed on any farm,, but are now seen in corn fields, pastures and small grains in many) sections. They are a special pest on some farms where careless methods of handling the soil have been employed. If such fields are plowed as early as possible tfie plants will be prevented from going to seed. Kingheads are now in possession of some very productive fields, and we believe this is due to spring plowing or nb plowing, as. such fields are often disked instead of plowed. New Method of Keeping Potatoes. A German publication,, the Practical Adviser in Fruit Raising aud Gardening, states that a new method for keeping potatoes and preventing sprouting consists in placing them on layer of coke. Dr. Schiller, of Brunswick, who has published the method, .is of the opinion that the. improved ventilation by means of coke i 4 not alone responsible for the result, but believes that it is due to the oxidation of the coke, which, however, is a very slow one. Coke always contains sulphur, and it is very possible that the minute quantities of oxides of carbon -and sulphur, which result from the oxidation, mixing with the air and penetrating among the potatoes are! sufficient to greatly retard sprouting. Potatoes so treated are said to keep in good condition until the following July. General Age of Trees. Inquiry as to the general age of trees being put to an authority at Washington, it was found that the pine trees attained 700 years as a maximum length of life; 425 years was the allotted span of the silver fir; the larch lived 275 yearsrjhe red beech 245, the aspen 210, the Circh 200, the ash 170, the elder 145, the elm 130. The heart of the oak begins to rot at about the age of 300 years. Os the holly, it is said that there is a specimen 410 years old near Aschaffenburg. Germany. Guinea Fowls. The flesh of guineas is generally dark colored, tender, juicy and in flavor equal to the r v ing-neck English pheasant. Many tl nk it more palatable, for the flavor is not so pronounced, And there is considerably more of it. The flesh of the white guinea is light in color, and if they are crossed with the pearl variety the meat of the latter will become nearly as light. Spray For Apple Trees. One of the most successful apple growers of Ohio uses arsenate of lead in the Bordeaux mixture to kill the different fungi, as well as to keep in check the coddling moth, spraying at least four times after the bloom falls. His formula for the Bordeaux is ,3 pounds of sulphate of copper, 5 pounds of lime, 50 gallons of water. Hastening Seed Germination. The germination of seeds with hard coverings, such as cannas, eucalyptus, and even morning glories, can be hastened by soaking thein in warm water for two to twelve hours. Sow the seeds at once upon removing them from the water. If given this treatment, morning glories will bloom in six weeks from sowing. Advance in-Eggs. The farm price for eggs has rapidly advanced in the last few years. In 1899 the average farm price for the United States was 11.15 cents a dozen; in'l9o3, 12.37 cents a dozen; in 1904, 17.2 cents; in 1905, 17.7 cents, and the price for will be in advance of that. Pure Bred Stock. It requires a smart man to handle pure bred stock with profit. The first cost is greater, and to get back the money he must be business man enough to sell the young stock at fair prices. But good stock is the cheapest stock for the right man. Queen Bees. It is said that bees usually supersede their queens before they are too old for service; and when an apiary is once stocked with a good grade of queens the bees can, as a rule, be depended upon to supersede their queens at the proper tim a

f Sour Milk Crullera. For a plate of crullers, beat one egg, add one-half cup of sugar, one-half cup of sour milk, one-quarter level teaspoonful each of cinnamon and salt. Dissolve one-quarter level teaspoonfuj of soda in a teaspoonful of water and add to the sour milk'and other ingredients; then mix with flour until stiff enough to roll put. Roll opt thin, cut in. squares,, and then in Strips from ofie edge nearly to the other sidp, and fry in deep, hot lard. Drain, roll or sprinkle with sugar and serve hot or cold. 'v) ... ' ■ Steamed Prunes. Wash one pound of prunes two or three times in warm water. Put them into an enameled stew pan with half a cupful of water. Cover closely arid let them steam until the water is absorbed and the fruit swollen to its original size. Do not stir or break the fruit. When cool place in a glass dish and grate one-half the zest or juice of a lemon or orange, over them, sprinkle with sugar and covey with whipped cream. Bake Six Pies at Once. In a No. 8 cooking stove put an ordinary size pie plate in the opposite corners of the oven. Then in the remaining corners, which will not be large enough for two more pie plptes, place cocoa boxes, and then on top of these place two more pie plates, which then will be a little higher than the lower ones. Then put two more on the grate. In this way you can bake- six pies at the same time and with the same fire. Steamed Brown Bread. Sift together two cups of corn meal, two cups of rye meal, one-half level teaspoonful of salt. Mix with one cup of hot water in which is dissolved a level teaspoonful of soda, two cups of sour milk, and two thirds cup of molasses. Beat and pour into a buttered mold and steam five hours, or into one-pound baking powder tins and steam two hours. The smaller loaves save time and cut in good-shaped dices. . Devil’s Food. Boil together a half-cup of grated jhocolate, a gill of milk and a half-cup of brown sugar? When thick, like rich jream, set aside to cool. Cream a halfcup of butter with a cup of brown sugar, add two-thirds of a cup of milk ind two beaten eggs. Stir in vanilla flavoring and beat in the boiled mixture, then two cupfuls of prepared flour. Bake in layers and p.ut together with a boiled frosting. Potato Candy. Boil a medium-sized potato, and mash very fine, without using milk or butter. When cold, add powdered sugar. At first the mixture will get very thin, but will thicken as you add .more sugar. When thick, add chopped walnuts, if you wish, and mold into balls with the hands, pressing a halved English walnut on each side of the ball. Simple and good, and easy to make. Breakfast Omelet. Beat four eggs separately; add to the yolks one teaspoonful of flour stirred into a little milk; add a half teaspoonful of salt, a cup of warm milk, then the stiffly beaten whites. Pour into a well-greased pan and. bake in a fairly hot oven for fifteen or twenty minutes. Serve with a cream sauce.; Mushed Scrape and slice the carrots and boil .ender, changing the water once and adding salt to the second water. Drain, rub through a colander and mash as you would potatoes, beating light with a large spoonful of butter and seasoning t<o taste. Serve very lot. Boiled Custard. Beat the yolks of three eggs well With two rounding teaspoonfuls of sugar and pour in two cups of boiling hot milk. Pour back into the double boiler and cook until it will coat a spoon when dipped into it. Cool and 3avor with lemon or vanilla. Jelly Straiuers;. " If when salt and flour bags are empcied you will put them in the clothes hamper to be washed and boiled out, you will always have a supply of jelly strainers. The salt bag is just the thing for the odd glasses of jelly made ill during the season. Sweet Potato Pie. One cup of mashed sweet potato, jne teaspoonful cinnamon, one-half teaspoonful each of salt and nutmeg ind ginger, one-half cup sugar, one jup milk and one egg well beaten. Bake for one hour in a slow oven. Savory Breilkfaat Dlah. One large cup of calf’s liver and bacon minced, half of s a sweet green pepper cut fine; brown well in a large tablespoonful of butter. Break in four eggs and stir until eggs set. Keep Eraser in Kitchen. A felt eraser, moistened and a little laundry soap applied, is an excellent thing to remove grease and dirt from top and sides of kitchen stove or range.

In the south of France is a concrete arch bridge known as the Pont du Gard, which was erected in the year 56 B. C. The concrete in this was not composed of crushed stone or other small aggregate of variety "now employed in concrete bridge work, but was of the old style, consisting of alternate layers of large and stories, gravel, etc., and of cenientitioqs materials. Vitruvius describes the materials and methods in use before the Christian era, and other writers like Alberti in 1485 and Polladio in 1570 accurately describe the method which “the ancients” (as they call them) employed, “of using boards laid on edge and filling the space between with cement and all sorts of small and large stones mingled together.” It is veriy improbable that the Pont du Gard would have withstood the rigors of climate of the northern United States, but its actual state of preservation, as well as that of many other specimens of ancient concrete work, proves that if modern work is'honestly executed It will many times outlast ariy reasonable bond period, so that a very small yearly sinking fund per cent is all that Is required for properly designed and erected concrete work.—Concrete Age.

At midnight the archduke, when resting in a peasant’s cottage, wari awakened by the arrival of a gypsy, who insisted on seeing him personally, having come to report the advance of the enemy. The archduke, who spoke Romany fluently, asked: “How do you know? Our outposts have not reported any , movement.” “That, your highness, is because the enemy is still some way off.” “Then how do you know?” The gypsy, pointing to the dark sky lighted by the moon, observed: “You see those birds flying ovef the woods from north to south?” “Yes; what of them?” “Those birds d,° not fly by night unless disturbed, and the direction of their flight indicates that the enemy is coming this way.” The archduke'put his division under arms and reinforced the Outposts, which in two time were heavily attacked.—London Saturday Gazette.
