A MODERN MIRACLE
lilt Had Eczema 26 Yeses and Doetors
Said "No Cure."
reb Zam-Buk Ras : Worked Complete
Cure.
This is the exaerienee of a man of
]nigh reputation, widely known in
Eifontr.eal, and whale cane eau readily
be investigated. Mr. T, M, Marsh, the
gentleman referred to, lives at 101•
lljelorimler Avenur, Montreal, and has
lived there for years. For twenty-five
Years he has 'had eczema on his rhande
And 'wrists. The disease first started
in red blotches, which itched, and
when scratched became painful. ,Bad
lames followed, which discharged, and
the discharge spread the disease until
rhia hands were one raw, painful mass
of sores. Thin state of affairs con-'
tinued for twenty-five years!
In that time four eminent medical
men 'tried to cure him, and each gave
alp the case as hopeless. Naturally,
Mr, Marsh tried remedies of all kinds,
hut Inc. also, at last gave It up. For
two years he had to wear gloves day
and night so terrible was the pain and
etching' when the air got to the sores.
Then came Zam-Buk! Ho tried it,
jlust es be had tried hundreds of re-
medies 'before. Mut he soon Sound out
•that ZameBun was different. Within
a few weeks there were distinct signs
of benefit, and a little perseverance
with this great herbal 'balm resulted
in what he had given up all hope of—
complete cure! And the cure was
no temporary cure. It was Iperman-
tant. He was .cured nearly four years
ago. Interviewed the other day, Mr.
Iltarsh said: "The cure which Zam-
Auk worked has been absolutely -per-
manent. From the day that I was
cured to the present moment I have
Mad no trace of eczema, and I feel
sure it will never return."

or the captains Weekly inspection,
in the United' States the Secretary
of the Navy has issued orders for a
more strict observance of the Sabbath
and for the abolition of captains' in-
spection on Sundays. With the British
reverence for ancient institutions it is
hardly likely that a similar step' will
be taken in our own naval service::
For years past It has been customary .
for the captain to inspect the ship's
company on Sundays, and to make a
tour of the vessel, examining every
department. 1n preparation for this
elaborate ordeal the men have to
spend a lot or time in cleaning aitcl
polishing the ship's fittings and in-

ships were not so continuously em-

A Useful Article on lour Horses'
illoiars.
The horse's teeth consist of the fol-
lowing: Twelve incisors, or i'ront
teeth, six in each jaw; lour tusks, or
canine teeth, two in each jaw; twenty-
four molars, twelve iu each Jaw, six
on each side,
As a rule, at birth a foal has tato
central incisors. 11 not, they will ap-
pear in a day or two. From fourteen
to twenty-one days the two middle
teeth, viz., the two next on each side
of the iucisors develop, anti in shout
two months after appearance tt1ev be-
come level. The third teeth un out-
side of the incisors, or cornet' teeth,.
are level with the others at about
eight months. Little change takes
place In the teeth for some mouths,
At one year the cups have left the
centre teeth.
These cups are the hollows' in the
crowns of the teeth. The cups at
eighteen months leave the middle in-
cisors, and at two years the same
takes place on the outside incisors, so
that the crowns of the lower incisors
are flat at that age. This malts it
possible to tell an early foal from a
late one at the foaling periost by the
developing or the cups, if any, in the
corner ofthe teeth. In developing the
colt teeth the
upper and louver usual-
ly appear at the sante time.
The permanent teeth begin to die -
place the colt's teeth soon after the
animal reaches two years. This dis-
placement is brought about by the
actual absorption of the fangs of the
permanent teeth, . 1t begins with the
centre incisors, which will show a
slight contraction, discoloring and a
separation.
Alter the fangs have been absorbed
the remains tall oft' and the Donna -
neat
'ntaneat teeth appear, \Vhisu this is Inc
case the colt Is rising three. At three
years the - two permanent centre] teeth
are level with the two middle incisors.
\\igen the same process has beg,, in
[Inc two lower middle incisors the
colt is "three off;' in horse parlance.
When the two middle colt teeth have
dropped he is "rising four." At four

•are level with the two permanent 1n-'
cisors. '1'he same process goes on
with the outside incisors tura the
olt reaches' five, viten the incisor
teeth are level.,The permanent teeth

Vance and the lower jaw is therefore
the best safeguard.
FEEDING GEES(: Fon STOCK
By Watching Carefully the Feed 13111
Geese Will Pay.
Geese being exceedingly large and
voracious, saters' it Is very necessary
to keep a watchful eye upon the 'feed-
ing 'hill, since otherwise, it is not long
before they, consume all the profit
they are likely to make. Geese aro
exceedingly' fond of grass, and upon
it they thrive well, SO tIlat whenever
tilers is a meadow available' they
should be given access thereto. Upon
good grass land they can pretty well
support themselves. During - the next
Yew weeks, however, there is practi-
cally no growth — or at any vete. no
visible growth — in the soil, and it
is thus necessary to supply ,the stock
birds with two meals a day: If they
are neglected they quickly get into
poor condition, which retards the date
of laying very considerably,' A good
mixture is the following: — Three
parts of cooked potatoes, two of mid-
dlings, one of bran, and one of pea or
bean meal. In the "afternoon a mix-
ture of barley•meal and middlings in
equal proportions' answers well. Grain
soaked in water for twenty-four
hours forms a capital change in the
diet, aad for this purpose, wheat,
'oats, and a little maize are the hest.'
The maize must only be used in small

The growing old of an organism is
not merelythe result. of Ilbe lapse of

m h t t e, It is the inevitar.n-

as a 111111 0f 40 or 50 may be, as to

Growing old is a progressive tTilii`.-

POULTRY BREEDING
Soule Pointers to ileac• in Bind When
Good Layers are on i)rmaa*l.
A general knowledge of the simple
laws
of breedIng is
very
necessary in
dealing with any class of stock, and
poultry are no exception to the rule
For one thing, it is very unwise in-
deed to use related, birds, since this
so often ends in disaster. Sometimes
in -breeding, las 1t Is called, is neces-
sary, but this .does not apply to the
ordinary utility poultry -keeper. Many
cases have been known in which quite
close in -breeding has been carried on
with no apparent ill-effects. On the
other hand, in many more cases, 115 a
result of using related stock birde,s
the prolificacy and health ci a strain
have been very greatly Impaired. The
progeny of related parents generally
possess pool' constitutions, they are
difficult to rear, while they do not:
develop so quickly or to so large -
see, e, do the ehickens 01 unrelated
Me, o birds, Another taw that should
be borne iu mind is that like produces
like, and thus the bad as well as the
good points are likely to be repro-
duced in the oifenring.
A. Point in Selections.
By rigidly excluding al weedy-
lookfug specimens from the flock a
strain of birds of vigorous'constitu-
tions and goal type can be built up.
A word as to sial: may, not be out of
place. Very small birds are decidedly
objetvflonable, if only because they ]Fly
,nail eggs; but, en the outer hand, a
very big bird is rarely a good layer,
although she may lay an egg of good
size. I'he present tendency of the
lalicy breeder is to produce birds of
ebnormal sIec It every breed, and
w11110 this is allowable for the pureiy
table varieties, it i directly opposed
to geed laying, and fatal to the utility
qualities or the non silting breeds.
White the skilled breeder builds up
his strain by judicious in -breeding,
the novice depends on fresh stook
each year. Item one of the greatest
difficulties confronts the beginner. It
does not matter how the hens are
selected, no rapid progress chn be
made unless male birds at known lay-
ing pedigree are used: Those who
purchase stock birds entirely from
outward appearance rvdll never build
up a strain of layers.
Wasted Food,
Much waste occurs in many ]poultry
yards so far as feeding is concerned,
It is impossible, of course, to matte
any 'calculations in this respect, but
probably 25 per cent. more fowls could
be supported upon the same quantity
of food as is now used. A large pro-,
portion of this waste could be 'saved
if more careful supervi.,,on were
exercised It is a very common sight
on many tarmr; to see grain, and even
soft food sometimes, thrown upon the
c
ground, with the i u
