DEEP CRACKS ON lOINTS P. O. Box 372, El Paso, Texas.— "My trouble began December, 1911. It com menced on me by causing a scurf-like skin and my toe Joints, finger joints and lips commenced to crack and split open. My finger cracks would bleed all day long; the cracks were very deep and my thumb seemed to be crscked to the bone. My hands were so bad that I had to sleep with gloves on. * The cracks In my ilpa would bleed often during the day and I used to put adhealve plaster across them to try to keep them closed. My toes would bleed, and I would find blood In my socks when the day's work was done. The skin around the cracks was red and Inflamed. I wore ■hoes one size too large on account of my feet being so sore. I used to be come frantic with pain at times. My hands and feet used to smart. "I suffered agony for four months.

ONE, ofl/NCLt, 3AMS CUTT£R3 A THREE month*' game of "tag" between vessel*) of the United States revenue cutter service and the Icebergs of the North Atlantic steamship lanes, which has Just been brought to un end, has resulted in contributions of great value to the mariner's store of knowledge about Ice movements and their dangers to the great fleet con stantly passing between Europe and America. The ice patrol Itself waß a direct result of the tremendous shock suffered by both Europe and America In the loss of the giant llher Titanic a year ago last April, when more than I.tJDO persons were drowned when that vessel collided with an Iceberg In the same waters searched this year by the revenue cutters The vessels engaged In the Ice pa trol were the cutters Seneca and Mi ami, commanded by Capts. C. B. John ston and A. S Gamble respectively. Captain Johnston was the settlor offi cer In command of the ice patrol, and In his llnal report are conclusions which ought to form the basis of study by all commauders and navigators of ■team vessels In the North Atlantic ship lanes. The Titanic disaster brought to every ocean traveler, with shocking vividness, the reullty of the danger to the transatlantic fast liners from- the presence of Ice In their tracks during the spring months. To all passengers on such steamers Cap tain Johnston's report may serve well aB an Index to the measure of care and precaution necessary for any ship In the vicinity of the annual path of Icebergs, and It has therefore a definite value for the traveling public aa well aa to mariners Make Daily Reports. The uiod« of procedure in the leu pa trol maintained by the Seneca and the Miami was for the two vessels to take turns In scouring the ocean for Ice In the waters bounded by the fiftieth and forty-fourth parallels north latitude, add the fortieth and forty-ninth merid ians of west longitude. AII passing vessels reported by wlrelesß to the pa trol vessels any ice they had en countered In those waters, while the vessels In turns transmitted to the naval hydrographlc office at New York dally reports of all Ice either seen by them or reported to them by other ves sels. In a short time practically every berg in those waters had been located, Identified and Its general movements ascertained. Thereafter the task of of the patrol vessels was to check up on the known bergs at frequent inter vals, and by observation of their po sitions at each sighting, to learn the rate and direction of their movements, It Is this secondary phase of the patrol that yielded the general observations of greatest permanent value to mari time Interests It wan found that the Icebergs were brought south along,the coast of New foundland and the Orand Banks by what 1B known as the Labrador cur rent. Th« southerly drift was found to vary from practically nothing to as high at) 32 in lion a day, depending upon wind and tide in Its fluctuations. At the Junction of the Labrador cur rent, accelerated by the flow from tho Oulf of St. Lawrence, and the north ward moving Oulf stream from the Oulf of Mexico the direction of the drift of Icebergs la changed from southerly to north and east. The Oulf stream la more powerful than the Lab rador currant and dominate* It, taking along In tta course whatever Ice may be brought Into It. This change usually occurs In April and May. and those months become then the period of greatest danger to transatlantic liners from Ice. The tracks of the liners hardly touch the Labrador currant, but do lie along the path of the Oulf stream. The area of the Ice danger Is at the same time restricted, because bergs coming Into the Oulf stream do not last long In the warm water of that currant Captain Johnston Is of the opinion that the quantity of ice brought down In the spring is in direct proportion to the severity of the winter preceding. Tjfie severity of the winters in the north Atlantic states, he says, depends upon the prevalence of strong north winds having their origin on the Lab rador coast. Similarly It is these sainn winds which start southward the great masses of ico broken off from glaciers whicn appear In the steamship tracks as Icebergs. Therefore the ice danger In the steamship lanes Is always great est after the most severe winters and less as the preceding winter has been mild. Ground on Banks. Many of the iceberg" In the south ward drift become grounded on th« Grand Hanks and do not constitute any serious menace to the transatlantic liners It Is those which continue south parallel to and beyond the banks which threaten the safety of the ocean steamers; and It was to these that the revenue cutter patrols paid the most attention. Captain Johnston said that the largest berg that was encountered was about 100 teet long, 300 feet wide, 70 feet high out of water. The small est ice which properly could be called a berg was 226 feet long, 10(f feet wide and 1)5 feet out of water. Captain Johnston estimated the rate of deterioration of icebergs floating in the Gulf stream as about 5 per cent, a day. He saw many melting so rapidly that waterfalls were pouring down from their sides while others in the advanced stages of dissolution turned over daily as rapid melting shifted the center of gravity. Sometimes Icebergs were found literally covered with sea birds Of the score of varieties of sea birds found on or near icebergs Cap tatn Johnston concludes that the pres ence of none but the inurre, a bird common in northern latitudes, can be safely regarded as an indication of ice in the vicinity Perhaps Captain Johnston's most valuable contribution is that referring to the visibility and means of detect ing the presence of ice and Icebergs. After three months of repeated ob servations and experiments, together with the results of his experience in other arctic regions, Captain Johnston concludes that there is no certain method of detecting, the presence of ice other than that of a sharp lookout; that In fog, or especially dark nightß, it is absolutely Incumbent upon the commander of any fast liner to run very slowly and keep an extra vigllan' watch. For the "Braaa Wadding." That wholly modern Institution, the brass wedding. Is popular because the bride and bridegroom thus celebrat ing feci that they are not hinting (or costly gjfts when they send Invita tions to their friends to rejoice with them. If the "bride" Is literary, she will like to have something for her deek —a stationery rack, a memoran dum pad with a pencil attached to a spiral spring, a desk blotter, a string box, a book rack or book ends. Don't forget that the "bridegroom." If he Is a smoker, will like a brass lamp of antique appearance, or a cigar pedes tal with a dlah for the ashea flaring Into grooves for the stuba of hi* weeds. Both "bride" and "bridegroom" will apprectate a brasa serving tray, a chafing dish with a match box holder attached, a tea caddy, candle shrikes, bridge score pads or \u» egg dish holder.

'nfiiw A X._> * - - 1 ■ PROFITABLE AS EGG LAYER Brown Leghorn Hen, Blx Yeans Old, Stops Laying Aist Long Enough to Hatch Out Brood. As to the ace limit of profitable egg production there are many exceptions to this rule. Some hens are never profitable egg producers, while others may be profitable for years. I have a three-fourths grade Brown Leghorn that is nearly six years old and she has not stopped laying since early last spring long enough to butch a brood of chickens, says a writer in an ex change. She got broody last April and was given eggs, but she sat but a few days until she quit her nest and was laying again in a short time. She has been almost a continual layer up to this and is still laying. Much of the time she laid an egg every day. Th© regular profit of $1 per fowl seems to satisfy the average poultry man. This Is wrong, for no one should be satisfied in any line of work, nH RoM/Comb Brown Leghorn. but constantly striving for better re sult® and larger profits. Two and thcee dollars per fowl Is a possible profit and Is being attained by some men In the poultry business today. The secret does not lie in the fowl or the variety, but In the human brain. Let us all study more carer fully the rules and principles that govern poultry culture. Let us strive and thus each year set up a new standard for the succeeding year. By thought, perseverance and persistence great things can be accomplished with poultry. INJURIOUS HABITS OF HENS Pulling and Eating of Each Other's Feathers May Be Cured by Al lowing Them Free Range. Sometimes a flock of liens acquire the habit of pulling and eating each other's feathers, lu some cases they are so bad that the flesh of the fowls become torn and soro, and the whole flock is nearly naked. When they first show the signs of this vice measures should promptly be taken to cure them. The trouble Is caused by too closely confining the fowls and allowing them to be idle. Where possible they should be turned on the range where the fascination of chasing bugs and eating the green stuff will make them forget the bad habit. When they cannot be turned out they should be made to scratch for their grain in deep litter. Bundles of wheat or oats, or sunflower heads may be hung up juat high enough that they will, have to work to get the seeds. Give them some turnips or mangle beets or cabbage heads to work at—anything to keep them In exercise and busy. Peed them plenty of green food, meat, meal, beef scraps and green cut bone. Rub carbolated vaseline on the plucked fowls where the feathers have been pulled out. mmm 1 Cleanliness Is more Important than medicine for poultry- Plenty of buttermilk and clabber saves buying meat scraps. Sanitation is the great chick rem edy. In other words, prevention. Pstient attention to the little things is what makes success with poultry. Cull all your young chickens, keep ing those nearest to the standard of perfection. Late hatched chickens need as much care as early ones; don't think they can rustle a living. The goose Is a grazing bird, while the duck thrives with a limited NDooot of green food. For table It pays to hatch chicks from February to November, but the number should be limited. If duck eggs are set under the hens from this time on, it will be best to the nest on the ground. Remember thift fowls that look alike** will attract hotter attention and All better than the hit and miss kind. j About the best remedy for scab legs, which Is the work of Is an application of melted lard aid sulphur once a week. Drinking troughs need frequent looking after in summer. Nothing like a filthy water or feed trough to breed disease In hot weather. Feed lens corn and other grain than yon did daring the winter. The birds feed largely on worau and lneects while they are running on raac*. \ HER EXPERIENCE QUITEEXPENSIVE GTM Oat SNM htewtiaf Facto Regarding Her Tracks, and lEwSh.

I had two good doctors and I was eent to two good hospital* to be oper ated on, but no operating was done. All this cost me lots of money, and I was no better off than before I started.
