Thirteen Not Unlucky for Him.
Dr. Nansen has good reason to re-
gard thirteen as a lucky number. The
crew of the Fram, in which he made
the most successful of his expeditions,
consisted of thirteen men, who all,
after an absence of tbree years, re-
turned to their homes in perfect safe-
ty. Dr. Nansen arrived back in Nor-
way on Aug. 13, 1896, and on the
same day the Fram emerged from her
long drift on the ice into the open
sea. Moreover, during the voyage, as
the doctor records, “Kirk presented us
with thirteen pups, a curious coinci-
dence—thirteen pups born on Dec. 13,
1893, for thirteen men.”
THE BIGHT SOAP FOR BABY’S
SKIN
In the care of baby’s skin and hair,
Cuticura Spap fa the mother’s fa-
vorite. Not only is it unrivaled in
purity and refreshing fragrance, but
its gentle emollient properties are
usually sufficient to allay minor irri-
tations, remove redness, roughness
and chafing, soothe sensitive condi-
tions, and promote skin and hair
health generally. Assisted by Cuti-
cura Ointment, it is most valuable in
the treatment of eczemas, rashes and
other itching, burning infantile erup-
tions. Cuticura Soap wears to a wafer,
often outlasting several cakes of ordi-
nary soap and making its use most
economical.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample of each
free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address

TREATING SHEEP SCAB
Dip Made of Tobacco or Coal
Tar Is Preferred.
Warm Water Is Better Than Cold, aa
Former Cuts Grease and Allows So-
lution to Get to All Parts of
Animal’s Skin.
Dipping in a reliable dip is the
proper treatment for sheep afflicted
with sheep scab.
Use a dip made of lime and sul-
phur, tobacco and sulphur, or one of
the coal tar dips.
Remove all sediment from the lime
and sulphur dip, as it injured the
wool.
Tobacco dips should never be
boiled.
For a‘general dip a tobacco or coal
tar preparation is to be preferred to
lime and sulphur, as a lime and sul-

Badly Affected With Scabies,
phur dip has little effect in destroy-
ing the sheep tick or louse.
A fresh solution should be used for
the second dipping. ThiB is absolutely
essential if the lime and sulphur or
the tobacco and sulphur are to be
used.
Mix the dip well in the vat
It is better to use warm water than
cold water in dipping sheep, as warm
water cuts the grease and allows the
dip to get to all parts of the skin of
the animal.
The correct temperature for a
dip Is from 100 to 105 degrees Fah-
renheit.
Sheep can be dipped in the winter
If warm days are selected for that
purpose.
If the sheep are badly afflicted with
scab, the thick scabs should be soft-
ened previous to the dipping of the
sheep by pouring some of the dip on
these places and rubbing them with
some smooth instrument, or the scabs
can be softened while the sheep are
being dipped, by rubbing the thick
scabs with a brush. Care should be
taken, however, not to draw blood,
as on coagulation it will protect the
mite from the dip.
Lambs do not need to be dipped for
so long a time as older sheep, as their
wool is short. They are also more
delicate in constitution, hence cannot
stand the dipping as well as older
sheep.
Always water sheep before dipping,
otherwise they may drink the dip
which is sometimes found in little
puddles in the dripping pens.
Each sheep should be held in the
dip from two to three minutes, and
the head quickly immersed once or
twice Just before the sheep leaves the
vat
A sheep in moderate length of wool
and allowed to drip thoroughly after
being dipped will carry away from
two to three quarts of the dip. A
sheep after being shorn will carry
away about a quart of the dip.
The question should not j be, how
many sheep can be dipped in a day,
but how well can they be dipped.
If scabby sheep are taken direct
from a pasture and dipped, they
should not be returned to that place
for a period of 30 days. Heavy
rains are said, however, to disinfect
open fields. If the sheep have bqen
housed in buildings prior to the dip-
ping, these buildings should be dis- [
infected before the sheep are returned !
Soil Must Be Kept Warm and Moist,
but Not Toe Wet—Avoid Crowd-
ing of Plants.
Shallow boxes or flats are consid-
ered best for starting seeds indoors,
but pots do not take up so much
room, and are leas unsightly, so for
starting Just a few seedlings or to try
choice seeds we often use a pot.
writes Lulu G. Parker in the Farmer’s
Wife. We have started pansy and
other seedlings often in the big pets
in which rubber plants or oleanders,
or other things which do not shade
the soil, are growing.
The soil must be kept warm and
moist, but not wet. For this purpose
a piece of glass over the top of the
pot will help to hold the moisture, but
this glass must be tilted up some-
what in order to let in some air or
the soil will sour and the seedlings
mold or damp off.
Sift the soil for the top layer and
cover the seeds abo^t twice as deep
as the seed is thick. Press the soil
firmly over the seeds with the palm
of the hand or a little board before
giving water so that they will not be
washed out. For very fine seed it will
be a good plan to spread a damp cloth
over the soil and then sprinkle the
water on the cloth until the seeds be-
gin to sprout.
After the seeds begin to sprout they
must be kept in the lightest window
and never allowed to get too dry or
to grow too crowded.*
The rest depends upon the seed it-
self, therefore always buy from a
reputable seedsman.
MOWING MACHINE IS UNIQUE
Object Is to Provide Bars That May
Adapt Themselves to Uneven-
ness in the Ground.
The Scientific American in describ-
ing a mowing machine invented by A
J. Anderson of 22 Greenwich street,
New York, says:
"This machine is self-propelled and
is provided with new and useful
means for controlling the cutter bar
frame. The principal object is to pro
vide a machine having a plurality ol
bars thereon, the frame carrying the
bars being more or less loosely con-
structed whereby these bars may
adapt themselves to unevenness in the
ground when the machine is in use

A further object is to provide meant
for removing the cutler bar driving
mechanism out of operative position
in order to permit the machine to be
run over the ground with the bars in-
operative. The illustration herewith

Pear’s Grease and Baldness.
In a recent volume of reminiscences
the writer states that baldness Is
much more common now than in his
early days, and ascribes the modern
man’s loss of hair to the decrease in
the use of “bear's grease.’’- This
pomade was made principally of lard
colored and scented, but “hairdress-
ers, many of whom called themselves
professors,” used to advertise ‘the
slaughter of another fine bear,’ ex-
hibiting a canvas screen depicting in
glaring colors a brown animal of ele-
phantine proportions expiring in a sea
of gore.”

Egg Type In Hens.
Many poultrymen claim there Is an
egg type in fowls and that they can
pick out the good layers as well as the
poor ones in a flock. This claim is
based on the theory that certain pe
culiarities of form or shape, such ae
long body, wedge shape, broad rear
small bead, etc.. Indicate good laying
qualities. Experiments have shown
that hens with long as well as short
bodies were Indifferent layers, and
conversely good layers have been
found with short bodies, as well as
long ones. So far as tests have gone,
theory does not hold good.
Brooding Chicks.
A poultry authority says: “While
much may be said in favor of hens for
hatching, it is rarely profitable to de
pend upon them for brooding chicks
when considerable numbers are to b»
raised.**
