HOW TO CURE ECZEMA, ITCH
AND ALL SKIN DISEASES
Don't suffer any longer with eczema
or any other skin trouble. Just apply |
Hancock's Sulphur Compound to the
parts affected and it will stop the itching
at once and cure the trouble per- 1

troubles have written us that the Sulphur
Compound cured them after
everything else failed. Mrs. Eveiyn
Garst, of Salem, Va., writes: "Three

HOPEVILJTS BOOM
Town Failed to Get the Railroad,
but Prosperity Came An
oiner way.
By GEORGE ELMER COBB.
"We've missed it! We're nothing
but a way-back settlement now."
.Thus Jared Bross. of the board of
trustees of the neat, picturesque, but
isolated town of Hopeville.
"You mean the railroad has missed
us," corrected Phillip Dawes, president
of this same board of trustees.
"Well, gentlemen, that shall not prevent
Hopeville continuing to do itself
proud, 1 trust, as a model village
without a blemish."
Very proud of the community he
had helped build up was Phillip
Dawes, and he spoke with enthusiasm.
He had always predicted great things
in store for Hopeville. Never a village
of fairer location and environment.
A rare trout stream bounded one of
its limits, a dream of a lake bounded
another. There were hills, dales and
lovely undulating meadows, a thrifty
farming community surrounding, and
the town people ideal, morally, socially
and as to their municipal harmony.
"Some day Hopeville will forge to
the front," was his optimistic slogan
-i-"Bome day values will go up, and
each man come into his own."
When the new railroad was talked
of, old residents began to boost their
acres and town lots as to values.
Enormous fortunes were figured out.
In fancy they saw a busy traffic,
crowds of summer visitors, picnickers
from the city, scattered fnrm
trade centered at the new shipping

point. Hopes rose high, then they
were correspondingly depressed, for
the railroad made a detour, and Byron,
quite a busy little city eight
miles distant, was made the terminus
of the new branch line railway.
"Wish I'd settled there as 1 Intended
to ten years ago!" grumbled disloyal
and disagreeable Jared Hro6S.
"There's some go to Byron. I don't
care if they do encourage a riff-raff
crowd?stir and sensation bring In
the dollars, don't they?"
"But we don't want the dollars that
way," insisted Dawes. "We go in for
schools, and rational amusements, and
clean, healthy children. Do you ever
find any riotous crowds in Hopeville?
No, sir!"
Dross had a strong personal reason
for being disgruntled with Hopeville.
He was a man of some means and his
son, Bradley, had married a poor
humble girl. The old man had railed
at the secret match, and had promptly
discarded his disobedient son.
Nellie Horton, whom Bradley had
married, was an orphan, but her parents
had left her a small farm just
out of. town. There the wedded pair
settled down. It was a poor place,
however, situated near a sterile ravine,
soil not fertile, and affording a
bare living
"That boy will rue the day he disregarded
my advise!" the elder Bross
had said one day to Dawes.
N "Oh, nonsense!" retorted his neighbor,
"Bradley Is a good boy. The
poor young pair, have hard scratching,
perhaps, but they're happy and
contented as two birds in a nest."
"Humph!" commented the ironhearted
father, and went his way sullen
and unlovely.
So Byron got the railroad and what
went with It, both good and bad
There was a good deal of grumbling
in Hopevllle, and in a measure Phillip
Dawes looked upon as a disappointing
founder and builder. The
pride and ambition of the old man
were touched. Then he began to
plan to retain his prestige Neighbors
noticed that he went to a city fifty
miles distant a great donl. Also, that
he brought distinguished-looking business
men back with him. whom he
showed all over the district.
"Trying to get a railroad Into Hopevllle?"
Insinuated Dross, somewhat
sneerlngly.
|- "Not at all," retorted Dawes, with
an enigmatical smile. "We don't want
one?why, I intend to explain to you
weak sister growlere at the nnuual."
The "annual" was a time honored
institution of Hopevllle, and now
again close ai hand. Every year
Phillip Dawes had insisted that tho
representative residents of the place
meet at the town hall to celebrate the
founding of the village. Speeches,
congratulations, suggestions for civic
Improvements comprised the features
of the program. Then a banquet.
Dawes was always the chairman of
the functions, and so felicitous was
his handling of the various toasts proposed,
that he had won the title of
"The Cheer Master."
They could hear the distant echo of
an engine whistle across the valley
as they sat in the town hall on the
present occasion. It reminded some
of the sore ones of their disappoint- '
ment. Dawes, however, was in great j
fettle that evening, and when the |
banquet board was reached his
buoyant, optimistic air communicated
itself to others.
They never had anything stronger
than clear, sparkling water at these
celebration functions. They had noth

so. as p matter of local loyalty, the i
toasts vere drunk in aqua pura.
"F^/?<eville?her splendid past and
tier glorious future," was tho toast
read.
"Humph!" grumbled Rross, "I think
Dawes will have to take a back seat j
this time."
But Phillip Dawfis arose, looking
brighter and prouder than he had
ever seemed. He took no back water
on the buoyant predictions of past
years. He looked quite dazzled as he
spoke of the golden stream of good
fortune now knocking at their doors. !
And then they drank tho toast. And
then most everybody made a grimace,
set down tho unfinished libation, and
looked queer.
"Something the matter with the water.
friends?" smiled Dawes. "That's
the merit of it. It is Hopevllle water, (
though not from the home well. Gen- j
tlcmen. you have diank of the soon- !
to-be-celebrated Llthia-Magnesium ;
water, specially pre tented to you to
introduce the last requirement this
beautiful district needed to make it
famous."
"Say, what are you driving at, anyhow?"
inquired Bross bluntly.
"Just this," explained Dawes. "I
reasoned from the first that the new
railroad would open up a popular outing
resort somewhere along its line, i

Well, gentlemen, for two j
months I have been negotiating with
wealthy in*.motors In the city. Tho
deal is closed, a big hotel is to be
built at the.head of the lake, and people
will come to Hopevillo next season,
dead loads of them."
Voices arose in eager demands for
more detailed information. Property
and rents would go up! The town
stores wbuld quadruple their business!
The rich golden harvest was coming
at last!
"Hut what about this horrible tasting
water?" queried Bross, with a
wry face.
"Pronounced by chemists tho most
healthful beverage in the world." j
boasted Dawes proudly, "a true min- |

"And where is that?"
"Dowti in a forgotten corner of that

Three Birthdays Yearly.
There is apparently plenty of fun
for the child in Sweden in tho matter j
of birthdays, but the parent can hard- '
ly be expected to feel the same, for i
the children there do not confine them- I
selves to ode birthday, but they must I
have three.
Of course, the first one is tho real j
birthday, and the other two are those ,
whoso names the Swedish boy or girl
bears.
For every day In the year of the
Swedish calendar has its own sepa- !
rate name, besides the weekly names
which other nations have. Sometimes i
if the parent gives the child a second
name or a first one that cannot be
found in the calendar the child loses
out on one birthdav. And consldera
ble protest must follow, too, when the j
child becomes old enough to realize
what he Is missing.
In tho German calendar every day
has a name also, but tho observance
of these days is not at all common in i
the latter country.

GOOD USE FOR WASTE
Conservation of Ail the Products
Raised on Farm.
Department of Agriculture Devotee
Much Time Toward Solving Problem
of Much Importance for
Farmer and Fruit Grower.
For several years the United States
department of agriculture has been
devoting a great deal of time toward
solving one of the most important
questions before the American farmer
and fruit grower today. This is the
conservation of all products on the
farm, letting nothing go to waste.
Special trains with leading government
experts In charge have been sent
out through the country to demonstrate
and lecture on the various ways
by which the enormous waste of this
counti-y can be turned Into profit
While many subjects of great Interest
were discussed there was, perhaps,
nothing of greater Importance than
the subject of caring for the millions
of dollars' worth of fruits and vegetables
that go to waste every year, by
the canning process.
The advisability of canning the surplus
at home or on the farm, where
produced, was explained by theso experts
and steam canning outfits were
shown so that the farmers and their
wives could see how easily this work
can bo done. As the heat of boiling
water is not sufficient to properly
sterilize such foods as vegetables.
Instructing Farmers How to Can Their
Surplus.
meats, fish and a few fruits, the steam
pressure method-of canning is almost
unanimously endorsed by experts in
this line. With a steam-tight receptacle
canned foods may be subjected to
a much higher degree of heat, and the
ferment germs totally destroyed.
Many parts of the country are organized
Into canning clubs under the
supervision of government agents.
They hold meetings at intervals and
the children, as well as the older people,
are taught how to successfully
can all food products. Lectures are
given at these meetings by the person
in charge, and prizes are awarded for
the most perfect goods. This work is
rapidly extending into all the states
and In a year or so the entire country
will be organized Into "canning clubs."
The farmer and fruit grower have
a great deal to thank the United
States government for. Unlimited
praise is due our government for the
educational work that Is being done,
in helping the farmer to realize greater
profits for his produce.
BAD PRACTICE OF FARMERS
One Cannot Afford to Burn Corn
Stalks and Put Nothing Back in
Form of Humus.
(By B. E. SARA.)
It always makes me feel sad to see
smoke arising from the burning corn
stalks in the field, because the farmer
Is burning up his land and doesn't
know It. How can we expect to burn
up stock which the soil produces and
put nothing back in the way of humus,
and then liopo to keep our soil in good
condition?
Maybe I'm wrong when I say that
rarmers do not know what they're doing.
for doubtless some of them do
know that It is a bad practice, but
burning stalks is easier than disking
or cutting them up, and they are a
nuisance to plow them under. Some
farmers say there Is no benefit in
plowing under stalks, but I cannot
figure it out that way, because I do
not see how we can go robbing our
soil and keep up the fertility. It costs
very little to keep a sheep and a
flock of 50 sheep is worth money.
PUMPKINS STORED IN FIELDS
P'led in Row and Covered With Hay
Protection Is Afforded and Balanced
Ration Formed.
(By M. COVERDfclLL.)
You needn't expect to reap much
.. jfit from gorging your hogs and
attle on pumpkins for a few days
during the harvest season; then cutting
off their supply of this valuable
feed for another whole year. Store
your pumpkins in the field.
Pile the pumpkins in a row, as high
and as wide dm vnn u-loh
hay and set up fodder on each side
to a thickness of three or four feet.
This not only affords ample protection
from the cold, but also enables you
to form a most profitable balanced ration
by adding "the fruit of the vine"
as you feed out the corn and fodder.
Try this.
Setting Peach Trees.
A great many peopie set peach trees
too deeply. The ground should be
plowed very deep, but the holes foi
the trees should only be deep enough
to cover the roots well.
r
Spray for Green Aphis.
When the little green aphis attacks
garden plantB a spray of rather strong
tobacco water or a thin emulsion of
kerosene and soap will be effective.
I3ut the spraying must be repeated.
GREATEST ENEMY OF CHICKS
That Which Cause* More Loss Than
Anything Else Is Chilling?Vermin
Is Next Important.
The greatest enemy of the chick,
and that which causes more loss than
any other one cause. Is chilling; the
second enemy In importance because
of amount of loss Is lice; both lice
and chilling are the indirect cause of
bowel troubles, because both sap the
vitality and life of the chick, making
It impossible for the little fellow to
resist the organism* of disease whclh

Dusting the setting hen helps, but
some lice are quite sum to escape,
Ann lolnr ho foil nH On Vl o KnnH
of the chick. Rub a little dab of lard
on top of the chuck's head, getting It
Into the down thoroughly, and you
will get these; repeat the dose In a
week, and If the hen la furnished a
good dusting place, the lice are not
likely to give any more trouble; but
whenever you see a chick that seems
unhappy, eyes closed, droopy, look for
lice.
The brood coops Bhould be thoroughly
sprayed before using with some
coal-tar preparation, sheep dip, whitewash,
or a mixture of four parts coal
oil and one part crude carbolic acid.
It pays to be ahead, and that explains
why so few of us are making anything
on our poultry; we neglect these little
things; because of neglect disease gets
the start of us, wo become discouraged
because of the losses, and give up and
blamo our luck, when all the bad luck
might have been prevented by a little
careful preparation.
Give the checks a clean place, all
the heat they can stand, keep them
free from vermin, and you can safely
count them before they are raised.
AROUND THE HONEY MAKERS
All Failing or Slow Queens Should Be
Changed Promptly and Breed
Only From Very Best.

promptly, and breed from tho best
you can socure, thus raising tho
standard of your stock step by step
and improving the averago year by
year.
The young bees, hatched from August
1 on, constitute the colony to ho
wintered, and for this reason it is
wise to see that much brood is ready,
even if you have to resort to stimulative
feeding.
As a rule bees cast a prime swarm
as soon as the first queen cell is
sealed, unless prevented by bad
weather; therefore, the first young
queen may be expected to emerge on
the eighth day from the first swarm.
When the hives are well distribut- **sed
in a certain space, their inmates
can be more easily handled. It seems
to improve their disposition, especially
if there are some trees, shrubs, or
the like about it. Robbing is not so
prevalent, either, and the absence of
that always helps to make the bees
better natured.
HANDY IN SORTING POTATOES
Smaller Tubers Fall Through Holes in
Revolving Screen?Work Done
With Rapidity.
A New York m^n has designed a
machine for sorting potatoes, and
here it is. A frame, with one end
higher than the other, has a hopper
on one and angular rollers rotably
supported in it. A belt that passes
over these rollers is fnrmpH of utrina
Iof wire bo interwoven as to make a
rather large mesh. Across the frame
and just beneath the hopper Is a
chute. To sort the tubers they' are
poured Into the hopper and spread
f 1 '

over the revolving belt. All the
smaller potatoes pase through the
openings in the belt, roll down the incline
to the chute and are ejected at
the side of the frame. The larger vegetables
remain in the belt and are carried
to another receptacle. This method
is not only more rapid than sorting
by hand, but it makes sure that there
are no mixed sizes in the different
lots.
Disinfecting Whitewaah.
, An excellent disinfecting whitewash
may be made as follows: Slake 25
pounds fresh lime in sufficient water
to make a paste, sprinkle in 15 pounds
of flowers of sulphur, add 30 gallons
of water, and mi ??- -- *
