I A LIVE
Many people have tried so many remedies
for eczema without being materially benefitted
that they have come to the conclusion that
there is no cure for this most distressing dis
ease. That this conclusion is erroneous, and
that
Hobson's Eczema Ointment
will effect a cure is shown by the following
unsolicited testimonial of Mr. Venable Wilson,
who for many years was a citizen of Wades
boro. Mr. Wilson says:
- "This is to certify that for nine years I suffered
with eczema, and during that time tried numerous so
called specfics for it, but without effect. But after a
few applications of Hobson's Eczema Ointment I was
completely cured. "V. WILSON.

when (if she has studied the text
book properly) she probably knows a
great deal more of the "knowable,
teachable things" about agriculture
than of the "knowable, teachable
things',' about history, georgraphy or
physiology subjects which she -regard's
herself as thoroughly compe
tent to handle.
The assumption, moreover, that a
woman cannot teach the. elements of
agriculture not farming, mind you,
but simply the sciensiflc truths that
have practical application in farming
-unless she has-been a field hand is
an absurd delusion. You don't need
to be a centenarian and a soldier to
teach history; it is not required that
a teacher travel around the world be
fore teaching' geography; she need
not have written a book before teach
ing grammar; ene need not have
robbed graves and dissected corpses
before teaching physiology. Why
argue then th.it she must have brok
en steers and - stemmed todacco be
fore teaching;, the scientific truths
about soil chemistry and . plant phy
siology that have practical applica
tion in the business of farming? You
don't have to know how to hitch a
mule to a plow in order to teach why
it doesn't pay to plow deep1 and cut
the corn roots, in two at laying-by
time; you need not know bow to run
a guano distributor in order to teach
the effects of potash, phosphoric acid,
and nitrogen in plant growth; you
need not know how to cure cowpea
hay to teach how nitrogen gathered.by
the cowpeaa will enrich the land; you
need not know bow to shuck corn to
teach which type of ear has been
found to be best for corn production;
you need not have even milked cows
In order to teach that the Babcock
test win snow which dairy cows are
paying and which are not; nor need
you have, butchered steers- in -order
to tell that with a Jersey cow and a
Polled Angua,"the Jersey is better
for the dairy and the Angus for
beef. '
Interest your pupils in corn con
tests, in school gardens,, and in all
lines of agricultural demonstrations,
Make your school smell of the soil.
Let it root itself deep in the common
everyday life of its people no longer
a delicate and useless exotic, no Ion
ger a hait-iueiess parasite, if you
begin to fil) your pupils with enthu
siasm for the work they have to do
the boys for agriculture, the girls for
domestic science your people will
soon begin to rally around you; they
will catch the contagion of the new
spirit, and you can practically make
your salary what i you want it. If
half the agitation for increasing
teachers' salaries had been directed
toward making the schools more, ef
ficient, the problem of salaries would
nave been solved before, we were
born. Teachers' salararies have
been too small, and yet the public
has paid the teachers as much as the
teachers' services were worth to the
public. The fault is not with either
the teacher or the patron, but with a
system shackled and chained with a
thousand mediaeval traditions the
machine the teacher has bad to work
with. . . '
In every era and in every profes
sion there is a chance for a man to
ally himself with some great forward
movement that makes for progress
and human betterment. This is the
glory of onr humanity; it gives to the
commonest life a touch of the divine
that not only does the great Father
give us the power to become Ilia sons
in the immortality of the after-life,
but that here and now He gives to
every man and woman the joyous
and kingly privilege of becoming a
co-worker with Him in some potent
cause that is helping the world for
ward "to that for-off divine event to
which the whole creation moves."
There 19 no man or woman so hum
ble but that be or she may not make
some definite, however simple, con
tribution toward some movement
whose ultimate success will mark an
other milestone in the march of clv-
lization ond human progress, ana by
that contribution he or she has
achieved the immortality which It Is
the highest privilege of man to win.
Especially do our teachers; It seems
to me, have an opportunity to make
their lives count largely by throwing
their influence with this great move
ment for giving the schools a more
practical turn, for making them train
for actual farnTlife. No other edu
cational movement can mean so
much because no other movement
can affect so many people. For cen
turies the farmer has been" neglected,
but at last the "protest of the Judges
of the world" voiced. by Markbam's
"Man With the Hoe" Is finding a
hearing and in this great mo. ement
there is a thance for the teacher' to
tawayfrom the purely conven
tional weak of teaching a , certain
number of children the date when
Columbus discovered America, the
length of the river Nile, bow to cal
culate latitude and longitude, or how
to conjugate the verb "to love," and

help to pay the expenses of govern
ment in the cities is indicated by a
census report covering the finances
of the country for the year 1908 in
in the cities having a population of
80,000 or more. There were at that
time 158 of such cities, but the- com
plete figures were available for only
151 of them, and the figures showed
that in those places the licensed drink
ing places paid an aggregate of $41,
950,188. This was a gain of almost
$3,000,000 as compared with the pre
ceding year and of about $11,000,000
over the year 1905. The Increase
was due to the large fees exacted by
most of the cities.
Of the drinking places sanctioned
by law there are no fewer than 67,-

A great many people do hot realize
the differ enc in size between the
stomach of a horse and the stomach
of an ox. The stomach of a large
horse will not contain mere than
three or four gallons, while the ru
men or paunch, the" first division of
the ox's stomach will hold about 60
gallons.. Consequently the horse must
be fed a less quantity at a time and
feed that is more concentrated. A
horse worked steadily and kept in
good condition is apt to be in good
appetite an 3 to have good digestive
powers. ' He only wants a little
coarse food at a time. It takes him
longer to eat his ration than the ox,
because he must do all his chewing
before swallowing the food, while
the ox. relies upon rumination to pre
pare its food for digestion. 1 believe
that most people feed too much rath

Female costume in the tenth centu
ry was classical in its simplicity. The
women wore long, loose, flowing
skirts ' reaching to the feet and a
draped "cote",' or upper - garment.
Chaucer, who died 1490, when Hen
ry IV was king, frequently uses the
word cote. In the "Canterbury
Tales" he depicts the sergeant-at-Iaw
as . wearing a "medley cote", which
no doubt means a coat of many col
ors, while the miller he describes as
wearing "a why te cote".
It was in the 14th century that the
word "gown" first . came into use.
An anonymous author in no mild
words finds fault with the fashion of
his day. He writes that "the com
mons were besotted in excess of ap
parel, in wide Burcoats reaching to
their heels, close befor and stxowting
oat on the side, so that on the back
they make men seem women, and
these they call by a ridiculous name
gown." '(
As early as the 12th century wo
men's cotes were made with; trains,
and In the first quarter of the 13th
century a bishop moralizes early on
their vanity for wearing , trained
cotes, some of which contained "sev

ger proportion of the elements neces
sary for the making of muscle than
any other grain, and produces more
nerve and spirit. Bran should form
ah important part of the ration, and
for econoc?y'a sake a portion may
consist of corn, but a work horse can
not do his beet on an exclusive ration
of corn. Corn is all right for fatten
ing, but the horse is intended for
work and what be needs most is the
kind of feed that will make' muscle
and give strength and endurance.
While oats is the best grain feed for
the horse, that la no reason why It
should be fed exclusively. A variety
of feed is not only much relished by
the horse, but is absolutely essential
to his best condition. He will do
better on a varied ration, even
though it contains no more actual
nutriment, because the variety ap
peals to his taste and that aids the
progress of digestion. Oats ought to
form the basis of the ration, varied
by the addition of bran shorts, wheat,
barley, corn and different kinds of
roughage.
Hay 8bould'be fed twice a day and
the amount should be less than the
horse would naturally eat if left to
his own inclination. Clean, bright
clover hay makes the best roughage,
but this may be such other roughage
as can be obtained. When not at
work the horse should be allowed the
run of a good pasture. The water
supply for the horse is a matter of
considerable importance, and in hot
weather water secured from good
wells or cisterns 13 preferable to that
obtained from any other source, the
water should not be given directly
