VENICE A CITY OF DREAMS
Many Charms for the Tourist In
This Picturesque City
of Italy.
To the wanderer In Italy, Venice
has a peculiar attraction. Arrive there
at sunset, or, better still, by moonlight,
and you will fancy yourself trans
planted to some city of dreams. With
daylight this feeling may wear off to
some extent, although there Is never,
at any time, as much bustle and stir
In Venice as In other towns. Morning,
noon or night, Venice has a fascina
tion all her own. This is partly due
to the fact that she is a city built on

To explore Venice and to become In

luxury for sunset evenings and moon

find one's way about Venice on foot;
Quaint, old world corners are discov

carved doorways and little bridges,

beauty of scenery, there is the en

Among the traditions we read that
St. Theodore was the first patron
saint of Venice, to be superseded later
on by St. Mark. The wanderer in
Venice becomes familiar with the
Lion of St. Mark. More prominently
than anywhere is it to be seen on one
of the columns on the Piazzetta,

BABY'S ECZEMA AND BOILS
"My son was about three weeks old
when I noticed a breaking-out on his
cheeks, from which a watery sub
stance oozed. A short time after, his
arms, shoulders and breast broke out
also, and in a few days became a solid
scab. I became alarmed, and called
our family physician who at once pro
nounced the disease eczema. The lit

about three months. By the end of
that 'time, he seemed no better. I be
came discouraged. I dropped the doc
tor's treatment, and commenced the
use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
and in a few days noticed a marked
change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders,
arms and breast were decidedly bet
ter. When he was about seven months
old, all trace of the eczema was gone.
"During his teething period, his
head and face were broken out in
boils which I cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been a great sufferer. During
the time of teething and from the time
I dropped the doctor's treatment, I
used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment, nothing else, and when two
years old he was the picture of health.
His complexion was soft and beauti

I had been afraid that he would never
be well, and I feel that I owe a great
deal to the Cuticura Remedies."

When it comes to trying to decide
which mistake of mine was the worst
I have to take a day or two off and
think them over. But, honestly, the
worst one I think I ever made was
one at Brooklyn a few years ago.
It was In 1908, I believe; anyhow
It was at a stage of the season when
every game counted, and when Pitts
burg and New York both were push
ing us hard for the lead of the race.
I hadn't been in the best form, but
always had been*, very successful
against Brooklyn, so Manager Chance
was saving up for me to pitch two
or more games of that series, to use
me all. he could where -I was worth
something to him. I had been afraid
that I was a little out of condition
from a long trip, and decided one
day that I would get out to the
grounds early and practice before the
game, take a rub and a long rest and
be fresh for the contest, which didn't
start until after four. I cut the lunch
and went over to Brooklyn in the
morning, reaching the grounds short
ly after noon.
It happened that Harry Lumley,
who was the best hitter on their team,
had been out to a luncheon and auto
ride somewhere down the beach that

morning. He had eaten a big shore
dinner, and he came to the conclusion
that he would take a workout and a
rest before the game, the same as I
was doing. He reached the grounds
about the same time I did and we
worked together. I pitched to him
for quite a while, and as I warmed up
I began to study his hitting. He was
hitting well?as he always could?but
I noticed that he kept missing low
fast balls and low curves pitched In
side the plate along his knees. I had
been told that he could hit hard any
thing pitched down there, and was
surprised to see him missing them,
so I kept feeding them along his
knees, close in and fast. He kept
missing and missing and it didn't lbok
as If he could hit one there In a year.
I came to the decision that everyone
was mistaken and made a mental
note of the fact that he was weak on
fast balls pitched in that spot, in
stead of strong as everyone said he
was.
Lum wasn't in the game that after
noon, and I didn't start. In the ninth
inning we had the lead by two runs,
and whoever was pitching b^gan to
wabble a little bit, and look as if he
was weakening, so Chance sent me to
warm up. A few minutes later they
yelled for me to come on. I went in
with a man on first, one out, and one
run needed to tie it up. The first man
I was up against struck out; the next
one waited me out and I was so wild
I passed him. The next batter looked
soft to me and I wasn't a bit wor
ried until they suddenly made a
change and sent Lumley to bat in
stead. I stood there grinning to my
self, thinking of how easy he had
been. Kling signalled me for a fast
curve. I shook my head and he
changed to a fast one. I put that fast
ball just where I wanted It to go?
four Inches inside the plate and at
his knees. There Is a dent in the
right field fence yet where he hit it.
Two runs came over and we were
beaten. I discovered later that the
reason he couldn't hit them in prac
tice was that he had eaten too much
of that shore dinner, and I'll warn all
young pitchers to be sure Lum has
eaten heartily before they pitch low
and inside to him.

FEEDING FOR PROFIT
Live Stock Growing Is Essential
to Successful Farming.
Growers Secure Benefit of Home
Grown Grain and Also Fertilizer
That Is Left In the Pasture#
and Feed Lots.
(By B. O. COWAN.)
Most farmers have learned that
Btock growing or stock feeding Is es
ocuuai i.u Buccessiui agriculture. n>x
perience as well as the agricultural
college has taught the valuable lesson
that the maintenance of live stock on
the farm Is necessary in order to
conserve the fertility of the soil.
Hence the majority of farmers are
growers of live stock, and many who
are not live stock breeders are feed
ers, thus getting the benefit of a
home market for the grain gTown on
the farm and also the fertilizer that
Is left in the pasture and feed lota.
These experiments In cattle feeding
are always beneficial to the farm, es
pecially If the manure made is prop
erly utilized, and usually a financial
profit Is realized; but this Is not al
ways the case, since many feeding
operations Bhow a distinct loss. This
may be due to the high price paid for
feeders, to their poor quality, or to
bad judgment in feeding and selling.
Profitable Bunch
Usually the feeder is anxious to select
good, well-bred steers, as they .feed
better and are more likely to show
a profit than scrubs. Most feeders
have a preference as to breed, but no
breed has a monopoly of merit for the
feed yard, and the person who will
make such a claim is a partial par
tisan. That the short-horn steer is
a profitable steer in the feed lot needs
only to be asserted to meet with a
ready endorsement from a very nu
mflrniifl ormw nf foo/^orfl tho atflto
ment is almost self-evident and needs
no more proof than the assertion that
the majority of Americans are honor
able and patriotic citizens.
The short-horn was the first ot the
improved breeds to mold and improve
the cattle of the American continent.
They were improved and exhibited
and their wonderful feeding qualities
extensively advertised *by intelligent i

Improvement Adapted for Use In
Transportation of Coal, Grain and
Other Similar Loads.
In describing a wagon chute, In
rented by John G. Smith of Philadel
phia, the Scientific American says:
This invention, which is shown in
the engraving, is a fragmentary per
spective view of the end of a wagon
with the inventor's device attached
thereto. The improvement relates to :
phuteB of the tvDe adapted to
be used with wagons carrying coal,
grain, or the like, and is so arranged
that it can be shifted to direct a
ream of the material from the wagon
to either side thereof. An object Is to
provide a movable chute capable of
being reversed, so as to direct a stream
of material to either side, with means
for supporting an auxiliary chute, and
with means for locking It in any ad
justed position. The device is simple
In construction, Inexpensive to man
ufacture, readily accessible, strong, [
durable, and easily adjusted.
Cleaning the Cow Barn.
The cow barn should and can be
kept so clean that milking will not
prove objectionable to any of the
farm women. To do this the barn
should be cleaned once per day. The
proper arrangement of floor and gut
ter will help much in ease of clean
ing, and the right kind of cow tie
will keep the manure in the gutter
where it belongs, and the cow will
keep clean. The use of bedding, pre
ferably wheat straw, in moderate
quantities along with reasonable pre
cautions for barn cleaning, will make
milking a pleasure.
Payability of Rye.
Rye is not only a suitable, but an
excellent food for growing pigs. It
should be ground into a fine meal
and mixed in a rather thin slop with
water, or, preferably, skim-milk. If
the slop soaks for 12 hours before*
feeding, so much the better. In this
shape the pigs may have all they will
eat up clean and quickly three times a
day.

or Boston. -The abundance of grass
and water en route made such jour

heavy-weight class. Short-horns are
early maturers and easy feeders, and
when matured are usually of greater
weights. This Is a general statement
and Is not Intended to apply to all
cases. In this connection, It may be
Interesting to state that some (wo
years ago some students of the Kan
sas Agricultural college complied
weights Jay ages of cattle shown at
the American Royal for several years

short-horns to be heavier than any
others in 10 out of 12 classes. So
without disparagement to other good
cattle I can truthfully say that short

trial under the varied conditions of
clime and climate and have proven
generally satisfactory to wants of in
telligent husbandmen. So I say with
out hesitation they are profitable in

BIG TRADE IN COTTON GOODS
Gains In Manufactured Material Have
Been Very Gratifying?Business
With China Doubles.
It 1b a matter of peculiar gratifica
tion that as the years go by this coun
try is sending abroad more and more
of manufactured cotton goods. This
means, of course, that instead of
sending the raw cotton abroad to be
manufactured elsewhere, as is still to
so large an extent the case, the peo
ple of this country are gradually
rejuihlng a position where the cotton
wl9 not only be grown in America but
will be manufactured In America, says
the Manchester Union. The gains in
manufactured cotton goods exported
during the past eight months have
been very gratifying. In February
alone such exports were valued at
$3,290,795, as compared with $1,845,
893 in February, 1911, and with $2,
106,648 in January. 1911. For the
eight months' period in each year the
exports were $20,264,591 In 1912, $15,
059,745 in 1911 and $12,745,689 in
1910. Notwithstanding the political
agitation in China, trade with that
country was more than double that
of the previous year for the eight
months' period, and thiB is a fact
which does not appear to be capable
of explanation on any other ground
than that of a growing sympathy with
the people of the United States.
WATERING THE SHEEP FLOCK
SHdtt-Legged Animals Live In Dry and

"I never bother to water my sheep.
They get all they need from the dew."
This is what one often hears from the
flock owners of the country, writes J.
C. Courter in the Farm and Fireside.
But let us look at this proposition In a
practical common sense way. Sheep
are animals with* a high body tem
perature. They are ruminants that
generally consume large quantities of
rough, dry grasses. They are wrapped
in a thick, ponderous woolen overcoat
heavier and thicker than nature In

natural result of such condition? it
must necessarily Increase their need
for water, and so It does.
Even In winter time, when the snow
offers a better uource of moisture
then this dew, any flock or sheep win
drink from the water trough If it is
clean water and convenient.
Having Horse Know You.

Overfeeding Horses.
It Is easy to overfeed a horse with
grain. The palatabllity of the feed
tempts him to eat more than is good
for him.
