PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA
"A few days after birth we noticed
an inflamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even In
his eyes , ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot He could not have a stitch of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He is
a very able , physician and ranks with
the best In this locality , nevertheless ,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
"Not until I commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like , as we dared not
wash him , and I had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
V hair came off , and left him entirely
bald , but since we have been using
Cutlcura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cutlcura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. I don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
"Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies we could harilly look at him , he
was such a pitiful sight He would
fuss until I would treat him , they
semed to relieve him so much. Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation. " ( Signed ) Mrs. T. B.

SEED BREEDING PLAT
Should Be Planted Thickly and
Then Thinned to Stand.
Under Average Conditions It Will Be
Necessary to Cultivate Once
Every Week or Ten Days Un
til Near September 1.
( By J. E. PAYNE. Dry Land Specialist ,
Colorado Agricultural College. )
Those who have had to buy seed
for planting their crops this year
should be able to appreciate the
value of a seed breeding plat
Those who have a variety of corn
which has been grown successfully on
the same farm for five or more years ,
should plant at least one acre for
special seed. This plat should be
well prepared , and upon it should be
planted the choicest seed selected
from the seed corn. Every ear used
should be tested for germination be
fore planting. In order to get a per
fect stand on this plat , the corn
should be planted thicker than the
ordinary fields , and thinned to a stand
after the plants are a few inches
high. While thinning , the strongest
plants should be left
The plat should be given the best
cultivation possible , so as to furnish
conditions for the proper develop
ment of the crop. Under average
conditions , It will be necessary to give
the plat a cultivation once every week
or ten days from the time of planting
until near September 1.
The plants should be watched as
they develop. If some of them seem
to withstand drought better than
others they- should be barked , and the
soil about them should be examined to
see if the apparent drought-resistance
was caused by local conditions or * by
some quality peculiar to the plant.
A record should be kept of dates of
tasseling and silking , and the date
when the plat is beyond the stage of
possible damage by frost should be
noted.
As we must breed mainly for earliness -
ness , a record of special plants will
be desirable. The height of the stalk ,
height of ear from the ground , num
ber of leaves on the stalk , relative
size of leaves and general appear
ance of the plants should be noted.
This work should be taken up by
the boys and girls who should be al
lowed time to study the plants. It Is
probable that we of the semi-arid re
gion shall have to adopt standards of
perfection for ears of com which will
differ very much from the standards
of the main corn producing regions.
For corn grown here I would allow
larger cobs , shallower and broader
grains , and larger shanks than the
standard for perfect ears of eastern
corn would suggest.
In breeding plants for semi-arid
conditions , we must cut loose from
standards made for humid regions ,
and work out our problems independ
ently. We shall have to dream out
Ideals of plants which are best suited
to our conditions.
The twenty-five years of experience
which settlers have had in eastern
Colorado , show that we can grow
grains , and a study of the grains
which they now grow points the way
to improvements which may be profit
ably undertaken.
Catching Chickens.
Who has not seen the farmer , his
wife , the hired man , and one or more
children engaged in the exciting
chase for the chicken which Is to be
served for the family dinner ? All
around tne yard , over the fence , under
the barn , through the garden , until
somebody luckily falls upon It An
easier way Is to make a long-handled
net , using a sound , well-made barrel
hoop. An old hammock makes a fine
net for this purpose. The net should
be about two feet deep. Lay ! t down ,
mouth up , put a few grains of corn on
top , pretend you are looking the other
way , and when a chicken steps on the
net to pick up the corn , lift It sud
denly , tip It slightly to one side , and
you have the fowl safe. If you are
particularly expert , the net may be
dropped over the bird.
Bite Each Other's Feet.
Young chicks , especially young
Leghorns , often get Into the habit of
picking the feet of other chicks In
the flock , and the moment the blood
Is drawn there Is a regular stampede
and unless detected In time they will
pick the entire feet of the victim to
pieces. The only remedy is to catch
the chicks that are being attacked
and coat the feet with carbolated
vaseline or some similar substance.
The taste of it will at once discourage
any further attempts.
What a "Green" Duck Is.
The market term green duck , is of
late Innovation. The cognomen is
applied for the reason that the bird
has not yet matured. It should
weigh not less than four pounds and
be not over ten weeks old , eight
weeks would be better , and should
never be allowed bathing water. As
an article of diet , If provided by a
chef , the green duck resembles the
famous and fast disappearing canvas \
back duck.
The Deadly Flea. 1
The hunt for squirrels and such ro
dents as carry the deadly flea that
spreads the bubonic plague Is to be
carried into the Monterey national
forest , California. Since July 85,000
squirrels have been examined In the
suspected districts. The government
has spent $800,000 on this work and
the state and counties of California
5500,000 more. I
PEANUTS ON DRY LAND FARM
One of Best Drouth Resisting PlantJt
Milo Also Is Crop That Never
Fails in Arid Regions.
The peanut is one of tlie best
drouth-resisting plants , according to
Prof. H. M. Cottrell. Last year in
some parts of the southwest was the
dryest' year that has been known
since the country was settled. In some
parts of this section there was in
midsummer five weeks of severe
drouth with burning hot winds daily.
The peanut stopped growing , but
lived ; it wilted every day and fresh
ened every night. A rain came , the
nuts filled out and stockmen got 500
to 1,000 pounds of gain on hogs for
each acre of peanuts pastured. This
in one of the dryest seasons known.
Mlle is a dry land crop that never
fails. Ten bushels of milo has the
same feeding value as nine bushels of
corn. Milo Is a starchy feed like corn.
In Nebraska ; eastern Kansas and
eastern Oklahoma the feeder uses al
falfa to balance up corn ; the dry land
fanner can use peanuts for the same
purpose and secure equally as good
results.
All the regularly grown dry farm
ing feed crops , such as Kafir , milo and *
sorghum , have been deficient in oill
and protein , the material necessary :
for making flesh , milk and blood. The
peanut , one of the best drputh resist
ing crops , Is exceedingly rich in both
protein and oil.
The growing in large fields on every )
farm with sandy soil In the dry farmIng -
Ing sections of Texas , New Mexico , ,
Oklahoma , Kansas and Colorado , and !
milo and Spanish peanuts , will make
this territory a great producer of beef-
cattle , hogs and dairy products , and
the feeding of these crops will Insure1
good profits , no matter how dry the
season.
Good Dry Country Advice.
One who has had long experience in1
Montana say at
"The potato might possibly give the ,
best yield on new spring plowed lands. )
Some seasons potatoes yield well
sod land. Hulless barley is also
good crop to grow , where the moisture
Is uncertain. But our counsel to the !
beginner Is to sow Scotch Fife wheat
just as early as possible. If he gets a
crop It will be saleable and If he does
not get a crop of grain he may get .
crop of grain hay. If our friend
going to try to make a home O
land , we would urge him to get
ten acres seeded to alfalfa as soap ,
possible. Dry farming is largejy
wheat proposition for the man able _
operate on a large scale. But If bfttj
friend can get ten acres of alfalfa
seeded he may soon get so he can ?
keep four good cows , a few chickens !
and a good brood sow. It will be
slow and hard work establishing one's ;
self on a dry farm , without money.and !
even money may fall. There are a
great many factors entering Into dry
farming. "
Plant Some Popcorn.
Plant a small patch In the garden.
Not only will it be a source of much
satisfaction for the children next win
ter , but In a small way itcan be
marketed , especially In country-
towns and villages. Cultivate the
same as field of sweet corn. Plant
somewhat closer , and do not allow
more than four stalks to remain in the-
hill. Of the two general varieties ,
white and red , choose the white , as
It looks better and If to be sold finds
a more ready market
What Protein Is.
"Protein" Is a term employed to
designate the compounds containing
nitrogen in feeds , and is a necessary
ingredient for the formation of flesh ,
ligaments , muscles , tendons , sinews ,
hair , hide and all portions of the ,
body which have strength , including *
bones , which contain from 20 to 25j
per cent of a nitrogenous substance. '
FARM NOTES.
Keep a close watch for the cut
worms.
Coal ashes do not add anything to *
the soil.
Moles in a garden prove an intoler
able nuisance.
For potato blight spray with Bor
deaux mixture.
The secret of growing good cabbage
lies in rich sell.
A noted gardener says : "Water the
garden with a rake. "
Rhubarb plants once planted continue
to yield well for eight or ten years.
Beet leaf spot is one of the most ,
common diseases of the garden beet.
Select and mark large and vigorousi
hil's of . .potatoes for next season's
eoed.
To do their best all garden crops
must have regular , thorough cultiva
tion.
Spraying vegetables should be ,
commenced the very moment the
insects are seen.
Lima beans , either pole or bush , may
be planted early this month when the.
ground is warm.
It is better to give the crop a thor
ough soaking once a week than to
sprinkle lightly over it.
Wood ashes and lime should be
sprinkled over the gar.den and among
the growing vegetables often.
Fine manure in the cow lot may be
worked up and applied to the garden
between the rows of vegetables during
all summer.
Sweet corn Is one of the wholesome
and popular American table vege
tables , and it should be had for table
use from summer until after frost
Arsenate of lead is death to the
beetles that injure asparagus , and In
fact may be used to advantage for
nearly all crawling things in the
garden.
FURNITURE IN SUMMER
UPHOLSTERED PIECES SHOULD
BE COVERED WITH SLIPS.
Thase May Be of Chintz or Gay Cre
tonne That Can Be Selected to
Match the Wall
paper.
The housekeeper who in winter
time rejoices in her beautifully fur
niture in summer time flees from its
stuffy presence and hies her to the
store where linen abounds. Nothing
can help more to cool the appearance
of a room than crisp slippery linen
furniture slips. Delightful results can
be attained at only a small expense ,
for material costs but from twenty-
five to seventy-five cents a yard. For
hard service plain brown Holland lin
en or linen jute is most practical , but
often the heart of the householder
yearns for something more ornamen *
tal. Then come vast quantities of
chintz and gay cretonnes from which
she may choose. As she Is wise she
will ofcourse , choose a material which
will harmonize with her wall paper
and floor covering. For this purpose
a favorite is the material v/hich has a
white or deep ecru background , and
patterns in old pinks , olive green and
faded blues. This harmonizes with al
most any room whether the wood
work be white or mahogany. One at
tractive room with white wood work
had slip covers made of an ivory white
material , sprigged with a rather con
ventionalized flower In the popular
mulberry shade.
As for the cutting and sewing of
furniture covers , authorities say it is
no longer permissible to pipe the
seams with a plain color. Seams are
hidden and the covers fit snugly now.
All of which means that the housewife
must be possessed of skilful scissors
and cut her slips with phenomenal ac
curacy to make them fit well else she
must hire a professional to help hei >
which doubles the cost However , \i
well made , these covers last several
seasons.
In the
Cake will not stick to their tins if
placed on a damp cloth when removed
from the oven.
In making crusts of any kind , do not
melt the lard In the flour. Melting wiil
injure the crust.
If gravy is too salty , put a pinch of
brown sugar in it. This does not spoil
the gravy in the least.
A spoonful of vinegar put into the
water in which meat or fowls are boil
ed will make them tender.
A tin kettle or coffee pot Is eas
ily cleaned by being rubbed with a
woolen rag soaked in paraffine.
If you rub your hands with a piece
of celery after peeling onions it will
quite remove the unpleasant smell.
Eggs are best 12 hours after they
are laid. They can be kept for months ,
packed without touching , In salt , small
ends down.
When making fruit pies , damp the
edge with milk instead of water. It
holds better , and the juice Is not liable
to boll over.
Before preparing vegetables or fruits
that stain the fingers , a very good plan
is to previously rub the thumb and
fore-finger with a little grease , which
will prevent the stains that are so
unsightly and difficult to remove.
Chicken Fricassee.
Take one good sized chicken and cut
in pieces ready to serve. Wash and
wipe dry , roll in flour and fry in chick
en fat or butter until a golden brown.
Have a stew pan ready and as the
chicken is fried put It In the stew pan ,
rinse the frying pan with enough bellIng -
Ing water to cover the chicken , then
add one onion minced very fine , a tiny
piece of garlic , one cup of strained
tomatoes , dash of cayenne and black
pepper and salt enough to suit taste.
Set on back of stove and let simmer
till done , stirring frequently so as not
to burn.
Rhubarb Jam.
Allow to each pound of rhubarb cut
In half-inch pieces one pound of
sugar and one lemon. Peel the yellow
rind of the lemon off thin , remove the
white part and slice into a bowl , re
moving the seeds. Turn the rhubarb
over the lemon , add the sugar and al
low to stand over night. In the
morning boil three-quarters of an
hour In the preserving kettle , stirring
often. Cool slightly after taking from
the fire , then pour into air-tight jars.
Strawberry Jam.
Allow for each pound of stemmed
berries a generous three-quarters of a
pound of sugar. Put the fruit over the
fire in a preserving kettle and cook
half an hour , stirring often. Add the
sugar , boll 20 minutes , skim carefully
and place in airtight jars while boill-
Ing hot. The berries should be ripe
and solid and of good flavor.
Mock Lemon Pie.
One cup sugar , yolks of two eggs ,
one heaping teaspoon cornstarch.
Beat well together , add one teaspoon
lemon extract and one cup thick sour
milk. Beat well with an egg beater
all together and bake In one crust
Beat whites of two eggs stiff , sweeten
and spread on pie. Set In oven just

To Make Fruit Jar Rubbers Last.
To have fruit Jar rubbers last , keep
them well covered In a jar full of
flour until used , and as soon as re
moved from empty Jars. One can
then afford a good quality of rubbers ,
as kept thus they will safely last sev
eral seasons. When there is doubt of
old rubbers , they may often be made
to eke out one more season by using
two of the rubbers to each jar and
screwing down tight Always stand
newly filled jars upside down until
cool , to test the tops and rubbers.
