"Fred,” says the farmer who knows, 
“if you’re going to feed ground 
feed and save the 20% that goes to 
waste when you feed whole grain, 
double your saving by doing your 
grinding with a Letz Mill. 
“My Letz grinds faster, finer, 
cheaper and better than any other 
process I’ve ever heard of—grinds 
everything grindable—does it in one 
operation. 
“The Letz Self-Sharpening steel 
grinding plates, with their thousands 
of keen-cutting scissor-like edges, 
beat everything else all hollow. 
“Earns cost first few months in 
what it saves. Made in 9 styles—22

How to Cure Chilblains 
What will cure chilblains? I have 
had this trouble for years; my feet itch 
and swell in cold weather. F. E. C. 
Putnam, Conn. 
Certainly we know what will cure chil¬ 
blains; in fact, we know of about as 
many cures as there are chilblaiued feet 
north of Mason and I)ixon!s line. Chil¬ 
blains have repeatedly absorbed the at¬ 
tention of the medical fraternity and oth¬ 
ers. Probably few so-called minor affec¬ 
tions have contributed a greater wealth in 
sure-cures to the domestic medical arma¬ 
mentarium than have chilblains. Once 
acquired, they cling with all the fidelity 
of cooties, having the virtue of persist¬ 
ence. but being open to the charge of con¬ 
tributing not a little to the present groat 
unrest. 
Historically, they are believed to have 
reached this country on or about the Fall 
of 1020. landing with the Pilgrims on 
Plymouth Rock and constituting one of 
the perils from which those good people 
earnestly gave thanks for their relief the 
following Spring. Since then they have 
maintained a permanent domicile in New 
England and have colonized as far west 
as the North Pacific coast; south to the 
tropic of the cattle tick and hookworm. 
Chilblains are unprejudiced in their at¬ 
tachments. as much at home in the limou¬ 
sine as in the Lizzie, and despising neither 
silken hosiery nor woolen homespun. 
They afford the one touch of Winter that 
makes the whole world kin. 
Medically, there is much to be said 
about chilblains. Much has been said, 
and more will be. There is something to 
be said here, but. as it is vain to darken 
counsel by words without knowledge, I 
will quote directly from a standard work 
upon surgery that lies before me. I will 
quote William Johnson Walsham, F. R. 
C. England; M. B. and C. M. Aberd ; 
Senior Assistant Surgeon to St. Bar¬ 
tholomew’s Hospital; late Examiner in 
Surgery to the Society of Apothecaries, 
etc. I have chosen to quote this English 
authority, not because I have the slight¬ 
est clue to the meaning of the section of 
alphabet appended and appertaining to 
his name, or because of his unquestioned 
professional standing, but because I. my¬ 
self. was once driven by the goad to a 
study of his writings, and, if I can but 
soak him here, an early and cherished 
ambition will have been satisfied. 
“Chilblains are local congestions of the 
skin caused by exposure to cold and damp 
in young persons with a feeble circula¬ 
tion. They commonly occur on the fin¬ 
gers and toes, loss frequently on the nose 
and ears. They present a sharply defined 
bluish red blush of erythema, disappear¬ 
ing on pressure and slowly returning. In 
severe cases the skin becomes dusky and 
purplish in color and the cuticle gives 
way, leaving a raw surface. They are 
attended with intolerable itching. Treat¬ 
ment: The general circulation should be 
improved by good food and exercise, and 
the local by stimulating liniments; the 
parts being kept warm by woolen socks 
or gloves. When the chilblain is broken, 
it may be dusted with iodoform or dressed 
with oxide of zinc or soap plaster. Ar¬ 
senic internally appears sometimes of ser¬ 
vice.” 
Once sentence in the above leads me 
to think that Mr. Walsham—with their 
lack of true American reverence they call 
a surgeon “mister” in England, not “doc,” 
as here—may have experienced chilblains. 
“They are attended with intolerable itch¬ 
ing.” They are indeed; he scores, there, 
but don’t try his remedies, not all of 
them, at any rate. Protect your nose and 
ears with woolen socks, if you will, but 
before dusting your feet with iodoform 
go. I beg of you, to the apothecary’s and 
ask him to open a package of that bright 
yellow powder in the next room where 
you may get a whiff of it through the 
walls. If you' then think that the society 
in which you move should permit you to 
move iodoform socks across its floors, take 
arsenic internally ; take it in large quan¬ 
tities. 
If. however, you wish to try a domestic 
remedy, here are two, one an ointment, 
one a lotion. Each is guaranteed by its 
advocates a sure cure, and either one will 
cure all cases in which it does not fail. 
The lotion is made by dissolving one dram 
of acetate of lead in two ounces of spirits 
of camphor; the ointment by reducing of¬ 
ficial iodine ointment one-half with lard. 
Apply either several times daily.

Keeping Pork 
When we butchered I put only the 
sides, hams and shoulders in brine; the 
ribs we used first we kept fresh. I cut 
most of the meat off, and all the other 
choice pieces I boiled about three-fourths 
of an hour, and put it in glass fruit jars. 
It kept perfectly. I had sausage in jars 
also. When I wanted it I took it out of 
the jar, reheated it, put it in a bread pan 
to mold into form, took it out when cold 
and sliced it; it was fine. Of course the 
cans had to be sealed tightly. I think 
wrapping dark paper around them is a 
good idea, although I did not do it.
