Don't Let Skin Troubles Spread. Trivial blemishes are sometimes the first warning of serious skin diseases. Neglected skin troubles grow. Dr. Hobson's Eczema Ointment prompt'y stops the progress of eczema, heals stubborn cases f pimples, acne, blotchy, red and scaly skin. The an tiseptic qualities of Dr. Hobson's Eczema Ointment kill tho germ and prevent the spread of tho trouble. For rold sores or chapped hands, Dr. Hob- ( son's Ecrema Ointment offers prompt j relief. At your druggist, 50c (Adv.) ten cents per dozen, but some ol the choicest is finding a demand at K cents; celery at five and ten cents; squashes and pumpkins making their appearance. Sweet potatoes from Cal ifornia are selling at 2 cents per pound. This is the season of the year where the housewife does not have to puzzle her brain as to what to cook in the vegetable line. The cucumbers are also finding a steady demand, a3 well as Jerkins for pickling purposes. During the last week sugar has gone from 12 pounds for 1 to 13 pounds foi the same amount of money. Live hogs have advanced, going from $8 to fS.C5 to Vj and IS. ':". I FISHERMEN CATCH FiSH. Cecil W. Robey, Charles Sievers and Leslie WellH spent Sunday on the upper Clackamas fishing. They say they caught several fish. Experimental Alfalfa Plots. spread at the rate of six loads per acre on the corn ground. The hills are given an extra dressing; of manure every two years. Mr. Lau Is very care ful to conserve all his manure, lie has built a concrete cistern to receive all the liquid drainage from the cow barns. When the manure is to be hauled out, it Is heaped up in the yard and then this liquid is pumped over these manure heaps and hauled into the fields in that way. able, as they cost very little, clean up ; the weeds and transform much rough ago into money through tho sale of ; wool and mutton. Ho now baa 17 ewes und gels about ten pounds of wool : al the average clipping. Ilefore ho kept sheep, hn had a great deal of rag weed In his pasture, but now a rag T.ecd Is a scarce article on bis farm, Experience With Hogs. Mr. loiu baa hud many and varied ' experiences w ith bogs. Ha raises from 70 to '.'0 bead of Poland China per year. In the .14 years ho hus farmed. h had cholera thrco times. In 11H2 it brokn out and from some 1.0 or t0 head hn saved about 25. They weru not treated, as Mr. Lau had no faith in herum at that time, having mudo a test tho preceding year with some so- called serum which was being used In the county. Ho treated with this two of his hogs and put them In a neighboring herd where cholera pre vailed. In a short tlmo they contract ed the disease and died and Mr. Lau was convinced that the serum treat ment fur hogs was a failure. However, tho success of tho treat ment ut tho Iowa farms near Duveu port soon set hi ill to thinking again and he secured three pigs In tho full of 1912 from the Jowu farms which had been given tho simultaneous treatment and placed them In three in fected herds In his neighborhood. All three pigs weathered tho storm suc cessfully, although nearly all the hogs in the three herds died. That put a new aspect to the subject and In the summer of 101.1 Mr. Lau gave all his pigs tho Herum-slinultaueouR treatment without any loss, although cholera pre vailed In fie neighborhood. He now gives his hogs the scrum simultaneous treatment every year. Mr. Lau raises about 1G0 head of chickens each year, planning to sell off the cockerels and old hens each winter and keeps the pullets. He sells them dressed a 20 cents per pound in lavenpoit. llu has had considerablu 1 rouble with chicken cholera and Willi blackhead In turkey, being compelled to cease raising the latter fowl on that account. Gross Returns. There an. futv farms in Scott county which hltjher gross returns per acre C lin Hint operated by Mr. loii Ills : nix returns for I!tl4 from fair 10 1 dnllvrrnl. Mr. Ull tried alfalfa 1 repeatedly for 25 years but had no sne ers until he applied some lime right ; years ago. Sines then he bits found al falfa a very profitable crop. In 1911 a strip a rod w I.I 11 ('Tough hi field left uiilimed produced wtlcally nothing Iron and Concrtt. Mr. Lau declares that this la an agt of strnl, Iron and concrete, and. w here crer possible, these should be substi tuted for wood lu farm construction Ho hss concreted hi entire barnyard this year and will keep straw In the row yard to ontoh all the liquid ma 11 urn as well as the solids. The cost waa ? 13 rents per square foot. Mr. lam a burn I ti) by l0 by 24 feet and ioniums si) tons of bay nnd straw for bedding He has an elevated tank supplying 10 hydrants. Including 3 faucets In the bouse. Ho bus shelter for 40 heud of cuttle and 1 horses. His boKhousit Is provided with self Wutorers und self feeders, the bilter for hogs mi full feed Thus the hogs cat nnd drink lit leisure, there Is no sudden exposure and no wrangling, j 110 rubbish to clean off but clean cobs ' for the tank healer or kitchen stove. Item of Chores. In doing tho work oil the farm where ' there Is lots of stock, the chores be- ' coiuii n considoriililii item. Mr. Ijiii . lias a two horsepower gasoline engine mounted on a truck sufficiently light for one man to easily pull uround and ; he makes this the chore boy for a mill- ' tltude of Jobs. He regards gasoline j ,.,( j,,,, , aa cheaper than hired help. He Ir careful that no feed "hall be hauled or ' curried lu baskets to live stock and puts the hay in a place overhead with tho feed bunks below for tho rattle and has u feeding plucn for hogs ud i Joining the corn crib. Water Is also 1 piped to the slop barrel 11ml the table I Is set before tho hogs are Invited to ; their dinner. In this way 110 feed Is I drugged through tho snow or mud but I the anlinul come to their dinner them i selves. , Another Important point In the nisi- ugemcut of this farm Is the dividing and subdividing of the place with fences which aro hog and cuttle tight, in this way many weeds, volunteer grains and shattered kernels of corn, i outs and barley which otherwise j would bo wasted, can be utilized In producing mutton, pork and beef. In I his experience a thrifty lot of bogs j with such a rango will return from tu to 90 cents per bushel for corn when fattened. Vineyard and Orchard. This discussion would not be com plete, without a statement in regard to Mr. Luu's fruit. Ho has a vine yard excelled by that of very few farmers. It contains many choice vari eties of grapes. Ho has apples, pears, plums, cherries and plenty of small fruit as well as a good garden. The orchard of one half acre bus hi sprayed each year for four or seasons and bis always produced fruit since the spraying was started, In 1913 he sold (247 worth of fiull. Mr. Iain has raised a family of live boys and one girl. He thinks the farm er bus an opportunity of having some thing more than a farm. He 1.111 have an attractive homo and it slioulu be the ambition of every farmer to inal.e his homestead beautiful us well as bis farm profitable. To render farm life more attractive he hus Installed a carbide plant outside the house to light all his buildings, has transformed an oid well Into a cold storage place for cream and victuals.
