PAIN? NOT A BIT 1
LIFT YOUR CORNS
OR CALLUSES OFF
No humbug! Apply few drops
then Just lift them away
with fingers.
Tlds new drug is nn ether compound
discovered by a Cincinnati chemist. It
is called freozone, and can
now bo obtained In tiny
bottles as here shown at
very little cost from any
drug store. Just ask for
frcezone. Apply a drop or
two directly upon a tender
com or callus and Instant
ly the soreness disappears.
Shortly you will find tho
corn or callus so loose that
you can lift It off, root
and all, with the fingers.
Not a twinge of' pain,
soreness or Irritation; not
even the slightest smart
ing, either when applying
freozone or afterwards.
This drug doesn't eat up
the corn or callus, but
shrivels them so they loos
en and come right out. It
I Is no humbug! It works
like a charm. For n few
cents you can get rid of ev
ery hard corn, soft corn or
corn between tho toes, as well as pain
ful calluses on bottom of your feet. It
never disappoints and never burns,
bites or inflames. -If your druggist
hnsn't any freozone yet, tell him to
get n little bottle for you from his
wholesale house. adv.

Cattle and Diversification Are Essen
tlal to Success In Farming Busl
ness Raise What You Need
for Feeding.
To succeed In the farming business,
we must have cuttle, hogs and chick
ens, grow corn, clover, alfalfa and
other legume crops adapted to our
soil.
If we grow several crops and one
falls, we will have another to depend
upon, but if we grow n single crop and
for some reason it falls, our entire
year's work Is gone. Live stock and
diversification mean the building up
of the soil, and as the soil Improves,
profits increase. Diversification means
that we have more land In pasture.
Pastures prevent soil from washing.
Pastures should be maintained to keep
the soil from washing during the heavy
spring rains. Fields should not lie al
lowed to stand from year to year, ex
posed to the weather.
Live stock and diversification will
keep people on the farms. A man will

and ship them away you arc shipping

making it poor.
By having live , stock there will bo
returned to the land in tho form of
manure 70 to 80 per cent of the soil

llumus, one of the things essential
to a fertile soil, can be placed In the

more mnnure on tho farm and less
commercial fertilizer.
The corn belt states pay out mil
lions of dollars for commercial fer

Live on tho farm. Build a home,
have good schools, good rouds and pro

SULPHUR TO CONTROL SCAB
According to Investigations Spring Ap
plication Is Far More Satisfac
tory Than Is Fall.
Investigation as to tho value of sul
phur for controlling potato scab so far
seems to Indicate that spring applica
tions are more satisfactory than thoso
made in the fall. In experiments the
benefits secured were greater when
sulphur was applied to land on which
no cover crop had been grown tho pre
ceding season than on land where one
had been grown. Formaldehyde ap
plied to tho seed tubers and sulphur
applied to tho soil gave better results
than when tho two treatments were
useu separately, buipnur nroaiicasteu

with fertilizers it gave greater efll

ammonium sulphate than with sodium
nitrate, with acid phosphate than with

Expert of Oklahoma Station Recom
mends Mixture of Corn, Mlllrun
Bran and Cottonseed Meal.
(Uy W. Xj. FOWLKK. Department of Ani
mal Husbandry, Oklahoma A. anil M.
College, Stillwater.)
"Please give mo a balanced ration
for dairy cows with the following
feeds: Sweetened alfalfa, mlllrun
bran, corn chop, cottonseed meal;
roughness, alfalfa hay and prairie hay,
cottonseed hulls." A. T. S., Muskogee,
Okla.
For an average producing herd, the
following mixture should be used,
which Is based on weight :
Corn chop, finely ground, four parts;
mlllrun bran, two parts; cottonseed
meal, one part.
Feed one pound of this mixture per
day for each three pounds of milk pro
duced dally. For roughness, the
cheapest and most economical feed
mentioned Is alfalfa hay. Alfalfa hay
at l!l a ton Is cheaper than cotton
seed hulls at $15.
LUBRICATION IS BIG POINT
Use of Best Grade of Oil In Handling
Tractor Is Most Economical
Renew Every Week.
(Ry U W. CIIASR. Nebraska Experiment
Station.)
Proper lubrication is one of the most
important points in handling the true
tor successfully. The best grade of
oil will he found to be cheaper than
poorer grades, especially In the case
of oil used In the motor.
If the engine uses a splash system,
It Is good practice to drain the oil
1 out of the crank case at least once a
week and rephiee It with new oil. The
old oil may be used for other parts
of tho machine. Tho above sugges
tions are especially Important if koro
sene Is used as a fuel.
SOIL SUITABLE FOR ALFALFA
Much of Difficulty In Growing It Can
Be Attributed to tho Low Fer
tility of Land.
(By M. V. MILUnit. Missouri ARrlctil
turai jsxporiment station.)
i Alfalfa Is a rich land crop. Much
of the dllllculty in growing It can be
, attributed to the low fertility of the
l soils on which It Is being tried. A crop
! that produces three or four, and occa
sionally five cuttings a year requires
plenty of plant food. The man who
wishes to grow alfalfa on medium to
poor land cannot expect high yields,
and In most cases he cannot secure a
satisfactory stand without manuring
or fertilizing.
In general, barnyard manure Is the
best fertilizer for tills crop. Ten
twelve, or even fifteen tons an acre
can well be supplied if tho manure Is
available. A crop as valuable as ai
falfa warrants expensive fertilization
If necessary. The man beginning al
falfa culture on poor land hud bettei
limit the amount sown, so that mot'
manure will bo available for use on
tills laud.
If manure is available In small quan
titles only, fertilizers may be used in
addition. On most Missouri soils the
Alfalfa Field In Missouri.
experiment station has found that the
application of phosphates Is usually
i accompanied by best returns. Three
! or four hundred pounds of acid nhos-
I phato or two or throe hundred pounds
of bono meal are applications which
may be expected to give returns. The
manure applied in connection with
these fertilizers should be at the rate
of six or eight tons an acre. Finely
ground raw rock phosphate turned un
der with the manure at the rate of
1,000 pounds an aero Is a good appli
cation. Since this form of phosphate
Is rather slow In acting, 'J00 pounds of
acid phosphate may well be applied
with the mnnure or drilled In deeply
with a fertilizer drill after tho seed
bed Is prepared.
It must be understood that some
soils need Hum in addition to fertiliza
tion, most of them need Inoculation,
and all require thorough preparation
of tho seedbed.
CUTTING ALFALFA FOR HAY
As Rule, Proper Time Is When Young
Shoots First Appear at the Bases
of the Young Plants.
In general, alfalfa should bo cut tor
hay when tho young shoots at the
bases of the plants first appear. If
these new shoots become long enough
to bo cut off by the mower, the new
crop may be badly damaged.
The blossoms often appear simul
taneously with the new young shoots,
but blossoms alone are not u safe
guide to the tlmo for cutting.
WORK AGAINST CALF SCOURS
On Every Farm Measures Should Be
Taken to Prevent This Disease
Many Animals Lost.
Thousands of calves aro lost each
year by what Is known as scours, says
II. II. Klldee, University of Minnesota.
On every farm measures should bo
taken to guard against this disease,
which results from u deranged diges
tive system.
Calves should have warm, clean,
light and well-ventilated pens. Mill;
should be fed In regular amounts, at
regular times, at a temperature ol
about SO degrees Fahrenheit, from
scrupulously clean palls. The foam
which accumulates on the milk while
It is being separated should never hi1
fed. The time to feed tho grain ration
Is Immediately after tho milk Is fed, so
that the calves will not suck each oth
ars and thus take air Into the
er s ei
stomach, which causes bloat and pro
duces scours. It Is well to have stanch
ions in one sido of the pen ho that the
calves may be contlned for tt shorl
time after being fed milk.
Fach day during the winter, when
tho weather Is favorable, tho calves
need to bo turned out into a sheltered
yard for exercise, which Is necessary
for their proper growth and health
It Is also very Important that the
calves, from a very early age, he giv
en all the pure, fresh water they caro
to drink each day. Tho pens should
bo disinfected frequently. Quicklime
Is excellent to sprinkle on tho Hoot
each time it is cleaned and a frequent
spraying with some standard coal tat
dip solution will prove beneficial.
THINGS TO REMEMBER
A good grain mixture for
calves Is: Oats, CO parts; bran,
!!0 parts; common), 10 parts; oil
meal, 10 parts.
Remember to make the calf
nen :
Dry and clenn; well-lighted,
warm in winter; Blinded In sum
mer; free from vermin; con
venient for feeding.
The dairy calf, when bred
right and raised tight becomes
the best cow.
OLD COWS SOMETIMES EXCEL
Animal Should Be Kept Until She Falls
to Give Good Profit for the
Feed Consumed.
(By J. B. IUWIN.)
It Is my experience thnt a milch cow
remains valuable until about twelve
years of age. My cattle are purebred
Holsteins, and some have produced
over 10,000 pounds of milk per year
after they were twelve years old. Wo

seldom keep them longer than that. All
farmers that havo purebred cows know
their ages, and I And that the farm
ers In this vicinity that do not havo
purebred cows know tho uges of their
animals approximately. I havo kept
one or two cows until they showed
signs of falling as producers of milk.
This was Indicated by tho decrease In
tho milk ilow, but not in tho shorten
ing of tho period of lnctatlon. My way
of getting them ready for tho butcher
Is to let them go dry, and they will fat
ten if In good physical condition. I
think a cow should be kept us long as
she gives a good profit for tho feed
consumed.
SWELL PRODUCTION OF HERD
Only Practical Way to Make Improve
ment Is by Raising Heifer Calves
From Best Cows.
When tho milk Is sold for market
milk, or to a cheese factory, or a
milk coudeusery, the problem is how
to raise calves without tho feed cost
ing more than the value of tho animal
raised. At the same time It Is a most
serious mistake under these circum
stances to depend upon buying cows
rather than raising calves. The only
practical way to Improve tho produc
tion of tho herd Is by raising heifer
calvos from tho best cows.

When Kaiser Was Broke.
It Is recorded that the kaiser once
arrived at Hamburg with nn empty
purse, and was obliged to confess It
In the most public manner to a bevy
of girls who besieged him with Im
portunities to buy trinkets which they
were selling In tho streets for the ben
efit of the Red Cross society.
"I haven't any money on me," said
the emperor.
The girls were very much embar
rassed, but were promptly put at their
ease when the emperor called up mem
bers of his suite and told the girls
to tackle them. Then the kaiser In
duced an adjutant to "advance" him
some gold, which he distributed among
the blushing saleswomen. Ills final
purchase was a carnation, which he
asked the overjoyed seller to pin on
the lapel of his admiral's uniform.

In our cllmnte, with Its sudden

Snake Problem.
This Is not new but It's worth re
peating. A man In Ion City, 111., sent
It to the News:
Two .Ion City snakes, of which
there are abundance on the lake front
property, had a light. One was a gar
ter snake and the other a bullhead.'
Ha eh was three feet long and In their
ferocity they seized each other by tho
tall and proceeded to swallow each
other whole. They both started at tho
same time and at tho same rate of
speed.
Now the question Is, which of these
two snakes survived, or rather which
one was on the outside by the time tho
other was swallowed, the garter snake
or the bullhead?
It took five minutes for tho two
snakes to swallow each other and they
both swallowed each other right to
the tip of the fangs. Which one was
on the outside when they were finished
or were they both inside? Indianap
