IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA.
Whole Body a Mass of Raw, Bleeding,
Torturing Humor Hoped Death
Would End Fearful Suffering.
In Despair; Cured by Cuticura.
"Words cannot describe the terrible
eczema I suffered with. It broke out
on my head and kept spreading until
it covered my whole body. I
was almost a solid mass of sores from
head to foot. I looked more like a
piece of raw beef than a human be
ing. Tho pain and agony endured
seemed more than I could bear. Blood
and pus oozed from the great sore on
my scalp, from under my finger nails,
and nearly all over my body. My
ears were so crusted and swollen I
was afraid they would break off.
Every hair in my head fell out. I
could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making me cry out from the
pain. My family doctor did all he
could, but I got worso and worse. My
condition was awful. I did not think
I could live, and wanted death to
come and end my frightful sufferings.
"In this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edies. I said I would, but had no hope
of recovery. But oh, what blessed re
lief I experienced after applying Cuti
cura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep I had had in weeks. It
was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue. I would bathe with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. I also took Cuti
cura Resolvent for the blood. In a
short time the sores stopped running,
the flesh began to heal, and I knew I
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in a
short time I was completely cured.
I 'wish I couid tell everybody who has
eczema to use Cuticura. Mrs. Wm.
Hunt, 1C5 Thomas St, Newark, X. J.,

concluded to quit coffee and try it
"I was delighted with the change.
I can now sleep well and seldom ever

strong and I can eat without suffering

ness Exercises in Connection with
Laying of Corner Stone of Memo

Hodgenville, Ky. The corner stone
of the splendid memorial to be erected
to the memory of Abraham Lincoln
was laid by President Roosevelt The
exercises were participated in by many
of the nation's leading men. Cardinal
Gibbons and ex-Gov. Folk of Missouri
being among those who made ad
dresses. From all points, by train and over
roads not particularly smooth at this
season of the year, the people gathered
to the exercises. A building four
times the size of the tent provided
could not have accommodated the
crowd.
The corner stone of the Memorial
hall was laid by President Roosevelt
In an impressive address the chief ex
ecutive eulogized the life and work of
the great statesman. He spoke as fol
lows: "We liave mot lifre to telebrate the one
hundredth anniversary of the birth of
one of the two greatest Americans; of
one of the two or three greatest men of
the nineteenth century; of one of the
greatest men in the world's history. Tills
rail splitter, this hoy who passed his un
gainly youth in the dire poverty of the
poorest of the frontier folk, whose rise
was by weary and painful labor, lived to
lead his people tiirougii the burning
flames of a struggle from which the na
tion emerged, puritled as by fire, born
anew to a loftier life. After long years
of iron effort, and of failure that came
more often than victory, he at last rose
to the leadership of the republic at the
moment when that leadership had become

the stupendous world-task of the time.
He grew to know greatness, but ne-er
ease. Success came to him. but never
happiness, save that which springs from
doing well a painful and a vital task.
Power was his. but not pleasure. The
furrows deepened on his brow, but his
eyes were undimmed by either hate or
fear. His gaunt shoulders wore bowed,
but his steel thews never faltered as he
boic for a burden the destinies of his
people. His great and tender heart
shrank from giving pain: and the task
allotted him was to pour out like water
the life-blood of the young men. and to
feel in his every liber the sorrow of the
women. Disaster saddened but never dis
mayed him. As the red years of war
went by they found him ever doing Ills
duty in the present, even facing the fu
ture with fearless front, high of heart,
and dauntless of soul. Unbroken by ha
tred, unshaken by scorn, he worked and
suffered for the people. Triumph was his
at the last: and barely had lie tasted it
before murder found him. and the kind
ly, patient, fearless eyes were closed for
ever. Washington and Lincoln.
"As a people we are indeed beyond
measure fortunate in the characters of
the two greatest of our public men.
Washington and Lincoln. Widely though
they differed in externals, the Virginia
landed gentleman and the Kentucky
backwoodsman, they were alike in es
sentials, they were alike In the great
qualities which rendered eaeli able to
render service to his nation and to all
mankind such as no other man of his
generation could or did render. Each had
lofty Ideals, but each in striving to attain
these lofty ideals was guided by the
soundest common sense. Each possessed
Inflexible courage in adversity, and a soul

possessed all the gentler virtues -commonly
exhibited by good men who lack rug

though the problems ofito-aar differ

Washington when he founded this nation,
to Lincoln when he saved it and freed
the slave, yet the. qualities they showed
in meeting these' problems are exactly,
the same as those'. we should show 'in
doing our work to-day.
Lincoln's Deep Foresight.
"Lincoln saw into the future with the
prophetic imagination usually vouchsafed
only to the poet and the seer.' lie had
In him all the lift toward greatness of
the visionary, without any of the vision
ary's fanaticism or egotism, without any
of the visionary's narrow jealousy of the
practical man and inability to strive in
practical fashion for the realization of
an ideal. He had the practical man's
hard common sense and willingness to
adapt means to ends; but there was in
him none of that morbid growth of mind
and soul which blinds so many practical
men to the higher things of life. Xo
more practical man ever lived than this
homely backwoods idealist; but he had
nothing in common with those practical
men whose consciences are warped until
they fail to distinguish between good and
evil, fail to understand that strength,
ability, shrewdness, whether In the world
of business or of politics, only serve tc
make their possessor a more noxious, a
more evil member of the community, if
they are not guided and controlled by a
fine and high moral sense.
Lessons from Lincoln's Life.
"We of this day must try to solve
many social and industrial problems,
requiring to an especial degree the
combination of indomitable resolution
with cool-headed sanity. We can profit
by the way in which Lincoln used both
these traits as he strove for reform. We
can learn much of value from the very
attacks which following that course
brought upon his head, attacks alike by
the extremists of revolution and by the
extremists of reaction. He never wav
ered in devotion to his principles, in his
love for the union, and in his abhor
rence of slavery. Timid and lukewarm
people were always denouncing him be
ca'use he was extreme: but as a matter
of fact he never went to extremes, he
worked step by step; and because of this
the extremists hated and denounced him
with a fervor which now seems to us fan
tastic in its deification of the unreal and
the impossible. At the very time when
one side was holding him up as the
apostle of social revolution because he
was against slavery, the leading abo
litionist denounced him as the "slave
hound of Illinois." When he was the sec
ond time candidate for president, the ma
jority of his opponents attacked him be
cause of what they termed his extreme
radicalism, while a minority threatened
to bolt his nomination because he was not
radical enough. He had continually to
check those who wished to go forward
too fast, at the very time that he over
rode the opposition of those who wished
not to go forward at all. The goal was
never dim before his vision: but he picked
his way cautiously, without cither halt or
hurry, as he strode toward it through
such a morass of difficulty that no man
LINCOLN
of less courage would have attempted It,
while It would surely have overwhelmed
any man of judgment less serene.
Man of Great Toleration.
"Yet, perhaps the most wonderful thing
of all, and, from the standpoint of the
American of to-day and of the future,
the most vitally, important, was the
extraordinary way in which Lincoln
could light valiantly against what he
deemed wrong, and yet preserve undi
minished his love and respect for the
brother from whom he differed.
Strong Sense of Justice.
"He lived in days that were great and
terrible, when brother fought against
brother for what each sincerely deemed
to be the right. In a contest so grim
the strong men who alone can carry it
through are rarely able to do justice
to the deep -'convictions of those with
whom they grapple in mortal strife. At
sucli times men see through a glass dark
ly: to only the rarest and loftiest spirits
is vouchsafed that clear vision which
gradually comes to all, even to the lesser,
as the struggle fades into distance, and
wounds are forgotten, and peace creeps
back to the hearts that were hurt. But
Lincoln was given this supreme vision
He did not hate the man from whom he
differed. Weakness was as foreign as
wicked to his strong, gentle nature; but
his courage was of a quality so high
that it needed no bolstering of dark pas
sion. He saw clearly that the same
high qualities, the same courage, and
willingness for self-sacrifice, and devo
tion to the right as it was given them to
see the right, belonged both to the men
of the north and to the men of the south.
As the years roll by, and as all of us,
wherever we dwell, grow to feel an
equal pride in the valor and self-devotion,
alike of the men who wore the blue
and the men who wore the gray, so this
whole nation will grow to feel a peculiar
sense of pride In the mightiest of the
mighty men who mastered the mighty
days; the lover of his country and of all
mankind; the man whose blood was shed
for the union of his people, and for the
freedom of a race. Abraham Lincoln."

Skim-milk's the thing for the pigs.
See that they get it. -.
Regularity in feeding should be one
of the rules of the farm.
Many a colt has been ruined by slip
ping on a bare, wet floor.
Variety of feed, with a large propor
tion of protein, should be fed to the
brood sows.
On the pleasant days it should be so
that the pigs can get out into the yard
for exercise.
We like a variety in diet, so do the
hens. Look after the matter if you
want the eggs. ,
If you hang the bridles in the kitch
en over night there will be no trouble
with frosty bits in the morning.
Don't use short cuts across the lawn
in winter. The grass growth will be
injured next summer if you do.
If trees are properly pruned and
formed during the first three or four
years after planting, little subsequent
pruning is necessary.
There is money in butter making in
the winter time. Prices are up, and
the cream is easier to handle than
during the hot months of the summer.
If red spider gets on the house
plants pick off the worst affected
leaves. Then lay the plants on their
sides and hose or syringe them thor
oughly; then take soapy water and a
sponge and hand-wash every leaf, and
while they are yet wet dust the under
sides of the foliage with powdered
sulphur.
Because pigs are the farmer's waste
savers, the impression prevails with
some that they need no care. This is
one of the greatest mistakes ever
made. Pigs are sensitive to the cold.
They need warm, dry quarters, and a
clean place to exercise in on bright
days if they are going to return a
profit to their owner.
Some people have the bad habit of
doping medicine for every little ail
ment. And some farmers have the
enuallv bad habit of doping their
horses. It is a good thing to let the
veterinarian do the medicine giving
if necessary, but such occasions will
be few and far between if you provide
the right kind of care and feed.
In an experiment to determine the
effect of basic limn nitrate and cal
cium cyanamid on barley and oats by
the agricultural school at Berthonval,
France, Prof. L. Malpeaux reports that
the results obtained with the first
were somewhat superior to those ob
tained in case of nitrate of soda. Tho
second gave results about equal to
those obtained with sulphate of am
monia. Do not let the mill: stand in open
topped pails or cans in the barn un
til the milking is all done. Try this
plan: Take a big can to the barn.
Use a large piece of cheese cloth
through which to strain the milk as it
is poured into the can, then throw the
dry end of the cloth over the wet part
lying across the mouth of the can un
til you are ready to pour the next
drawing of milk into the can.
The best results are obtained where
the cows are fed after milking, for un
der this method they generally give
down their milk cheerfully, for they
know that milking is a prelude to
feeding. A cow is much smarter than
she looks, and more grateful than
most persons would believe. So long
as the cows know they are not going
to be struck or beaten, they will
neither kick nor hook. An experienced
milkman will never allow any loud
talking or excitement about his barn
or stable, for the quieter the cows are
kept the greater the quantity of milk
given, and the easier the work is per
formed.
Livestock on the farm not only re
turn to the soil much of the fertility
taken in growing the crops, but they
provide the most profitable medium
of using the stuff raised. In this way
everything grown on the farm can be
made to yield a marketable product
and, besides, a large portion of It re
tained in the form of manure to be
returned to and enrich the land. The
system gives a maximum amount of
gain with a minimum amount of actual
waste, or matter removed from the
soil. It insures chances for perman
ent and continued success, and gives
j the farmer wider scope for regular In
telligent work.
Here Is the prediction of one agri
culturalist who is a close observer of
the trend of things in farming com
munities. What do you think about
it? "We believe the time wii' come
when farmers will not retire in any
great numbers to town, but will build
cottages on their own farms, fit them
with all the comforts possible, keep
a good team, devote their time to rais
ing seed corn and other specialties,
and will find better society in the
country as well as a better school
education for the children than is now
or ever will be given in the town. In
other words, we believe that we shall
develop a distinctively rural Bociety
that will be better in every way than
anything which the town can funish.,

The surplus rooster In the flock Is a
nuisance. Get rid of him.

if you would get best results.
If the hens are to lay they must
have the feed and care which will en
courage egg production.
Women succeed as a rule with poul
try because they are careful, and more
watchful as to details, than are men.
Oats make a good part of a grain
ration. Good plan to let them have
it right in the sheaf and to scratch it
out for themselves.
It is the poultryman who knows how
to keep his chickens well, rather than
the one who is wise as to how to treaty
sick chickens, who makes good.
Don't temporize with the sick chick
en. Remove at once from the flock,
and if thft ailment does not yield at
once to simple remedies chop off the
head and bury.
Don't let spring come before you
have been through the orchard and
picked off from the trees all the insect
nests and cocoons on limbs or bark.
Easy to find them now that the trees
are bare.
Post up, take stock and lay plans
for the coming year. The successful
farmer not only knows what he has
on the farm, but how the last year
turned out and what he is going to do
the next year.
You can pretty nearly guess when
it is time for the dinner horn to blow.
The livestock and the poultry are
just as good guessers as to when feed
ing time has arrived. Don't' disappoint
them. Be regular.
You should look over the harness
from time to time and mend up and
strengthen all the weak and broken
places. It will not only' prove a irpney
saver in making your harness last
nearly twice as long as it otherwise
would, but it will make it safe.
Don't burn the cornstalks which are
left after the stock have been through
and stripped them. Rather run a
sharp disk over them when the
ground is frozen and plow them under.
In this way you will supply much hu
mus to the soil besides putting in
a very considerable amount of potash.
White soap can be made by using
the following formula: Use four
pounds of clean fat, a pound of potash,
four ounces of borax and two ounces
of dry ammonia. Dissolve the pot
ash in three quarts of hot water, then
add to it the borax and ammonia.
Warm tho fat and add it to the hot
mixture. Let the whole boil five min
utes; set in a cool place and stir for
a half-hour; then pour in a box to
harden.
Next to poultry manure, the drop
pings of sheep is the richest fertilizer
produced on the farm. It ferments
easily, and is classed as a quick-acting
manure, and when allowed to accumu
late in the pens where it is tramped
hard by the animals, it loses little fer
tilizing value. When placed in piles
or composts, as in the case of horse
manure, it is benefited by mixing with
cow manure. It is especially valuable
for use on vegetables, when a quick
acting fertilizer is desired. A sheep
produces about four pounds of manure
per day.
Make your own harness blacking.
Here is the formula for the famous
English brand: Three ounces of tur
pentine and two ounces of white wax
are dissolved together over a slow fire.
Then add one ounce of ivory black
and one dram of indigo well pulver
ized and mix together. When the
wax and turpentine are dissolved, add
the ivory black and indigo and stir
until cold. Apply thin. Wash after
ward, and you will have a beautiful
polish. This blacking keeps the leath
er soft and is excellent for harness
and buggy tops.
The horse that is kept working dur
ing the winter should be well fed.
But the idle horse should have his ra
tion changed both because over-feeding
wastes the feed and endangers the
health of the horse. Many a horse
has died from having been highly
fed when being worked, and the same
feed given when he was idle a few
days. This is especially true of feed,
such as clover hay, bluegrass hay and
oats. A hard working horse that has
been well fed should, on being given
a rest for several days, have his ra
tion changed. In such cases corn is
better than oats as grain feed, and if
clover hay has been fed timothy hay
should be substituted.
Feed plenty of roughage and only
enough grain to obtain the results you
are after. Prof. J. H. Grisdale of the
Ottawa, Canada, experiment station,
after tests, declares that if an animal
is half full and he does not get suffi
cient to keep his digestive organs well
filled and in good healthy condition,
he will not do well, and therefore the
first requisite of successful feeding is
the filling of the animals, right up to
the top notch. It is not necessary to
give them an expensive filler. One
of the most successful experiments I
ever saw conducted was where cut
wheat straw made up the roughage
par of the ration. We must, how
ever, make the roughage as palatable
as we can. The methods of making
it palatable are various. One of the
simplest means is to mix a certain
amount of ensilage or roots. Another
way is to add a little bit of meal and
ome water.

ARE FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS
Stat Legislature Taking Action ts
LetMn th Malady.
Only five States in the United
States, including the District of Co
lumbia, have laws directly compel
ling the reporting and registration of
tuberculosis, and of these, but two
and the District of Columbia,' make
very much of an effort to enforce the
law. Only eight States have laws for
bidding spitting in public places, and
in none of these States is the law
strictly enforced. Realizing the dan
gers from promiscuous spitting, and
inability to locate tuberculosis cases
without a registration law, bills are
.being introduced in'over a dozen dif
ferent legislatures to remedy ' these
defects.
According to a report issued by the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis, the
reporting of .tuberculosis cases is one
of the fist requisites in the stamping
out of the disease Until the health
authorities know where those afflicted
with tuberculosis reside they are
powerless to remove the dangers
caused by these infected persons. It
is now established that tuberculosis
must be classed with smallpox, diph
theria, scarlet fever, or any other in
fectious disease. This being the case,
the report declares it is jusrt as neces
sary for the public health that it be
registered.
The most decided step in the regis
tration of tuberculosis was taken in
1904 by the State of Maryland, where
a law passed compelling the report
ing of this disease, and inflicting a
heavy fine for non-compliance. This
law requires that the State Board of
Health pay $1.00 to every physician
reporting a case of tuberculosis, and
also that it furnish him with literature
and preventive supplies for the uso
of his patients. This measure was in
fluenced by the success of a move
ment started in New York city in
1S97. to compel the reporting of tuber
culosis. In 1908 laws modeled some
what after the Maryland law were
passed in New York State and the Dis
trict of Columbia. The State of Ver
mont had passed a registration law
in 1902, and in Washington it had
been a law that tuberculor.is be report
ed in the first and second class cities
as early as 1899. These laws had. how
ever, never been of much service, and
few new cases vere secured through
them. Besides these States, which
have direct and special laws compel
ling the reporting of tuberculosis,
there are six which require reporting
of tuberculosis as one of the infectious
diseases. They are California, In
diana. Kansas, Maine. Massachusetts
and Utah. For the most part, these
laws are of little value.
The following States and Territo
ries have regulations of the Health
Departments requiring that Tuber
culosis be reported: Connecticut,
Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota. Montana,
Nebraska. New Jersey, North Dakota.
Oregon, Pennsylvania, Philippine Is
lands, Rhode Island and Tennessee.
These regulations seldom secure the
desired results. The other States of
tho Union have no laws or regulation
on the subject.
Other legislation affecting tuber
culosis is, in the main, that concern
ing spitting and with regard to State
sanatoria and dispensaries. There are
nine States and Territories which
have laws forbidding spitting. They
ae Delaware. Kansas, Maryland, Mas
sachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico.
Philippine Islands, Tennessee and Vir
ginia. Twelve states and the Dis
trict of Columbia now raainta'n
sanatoria or hospitals for indigent tu
berculosis patients. They are Massa
chusetts. Np'v York. low?, Maryland.
Minnesota, Michigan. Missouri, New
Jersey, North Carolina. Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island and Wisconsin. Besides
these, in Indiana. Ohio. New Hamp
shire and Virginia, sites have been
purchased for similar institutions,
and in Massachusetts work has been
commenced on three str- hospitals
for advanced cases in pition to the
State Sanatorhm at Rutland. In
Alabama and Georgia. laws have been
passed authorizing and providing for
the erection of Ptato sanatoria. In
