Much It is very 'essential to take the very best possible care of the young trees. They should be kept thrifty and healthy, and all the necessary care given them to conserve the moisture nd plant food in the soil. Early In the spring, as soon as the soil will permit, it should be stirred six to eight inches deep; thus if the trees have been planted as deeply as they should, plowing this depth will cause them to produce a deep root system which will not be Injured as quickly by freezing or drought After this plowing the fertilizer should be applied and worked wjth a disk harrow or cultivator. Frequent cultivations should he given with the cultivator or disk harrow, running deep enough to form a good soil mulch and prevent subsequent baking or crusting of the surface and prevent loss of soil moisture by evaporation. Thorough culture kills all the weeds, which are a constant drain on the soil mosture and plant food and also assists in decomposing and liberating any plant food which may have been turned under.

I was afllicted with two carbuncles on the back of my neck. The doctors said they were tbe largest carbuncles he ever saw. 1 suffered the most intense agony, bo much that I could not rest or sleep for about a month. One was lanced four times. When the first began to get better another broke out and was equally aa painful as the first one. I heard of Cuttcura Soap and Ointment being good for auch thing, so I procured a box of Cutlcura Ointment and a cake of Cutlcura Soap. I washed both the 'arbuncles with Cutlcura Soap frequently whenever any put began to gather, and applied tbe Cutlcura Ointment. I felt relief after the first use of Cuttcura Soap and Ointment, and in a wees' time both carbuncles were gone and I was completely cured. I have not herb troubled since.
