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

The Effects of Opiates.
THAT INFANTS aro peculiarly Busceptiblo to opium and its 'various
preparations, all of which aro narcotic, ia well Known. Even in tho
smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in tho func
tions and growth of tho cells which aro likely to becomo permanent, causing
imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later lifo.
Nervous diseases, such as intractable, nervous dyspepsia and lack of ctaying
powers aro a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet
In their infancy. Tho rulo among physicians is that children should never
receivo opiates in tho smallest doses for moro than a day at a time, and
only then if unavoidable.
Tho administration of Anodynes, Drops. Cordials, Soothing Syrups and
other narcotics to children by nny but a physician cannot bo too strongly
decried, and tho druggist should not bo . party to it. Children who aro ill
need tho attention of a physician, and it is nothing less than a crime to
doso them willfully with narcotics.

CULTIVATE
Produce More Food, But at the
Lowest Cost.
A trip through most of the grnln
growing districts of Western Canada,
and Information received from nut hen
tic sources, reveals thnt the spring
seeding of wheat, barley nnd oats Is
finished nnd tho grain Is having u most
rapid growth. Men of fanning expe
rience here say that the conditions are
slmllnr to those years when there was
nn abundant harvest reaped. During
the past year a number of new settlers
came Into the country, and they will
undoubtedly have a good crop this
year. This ndtled to tho normnl acre
nge, mnde considerably less by the
Inck of labor owing to tho number who
have gone to the front, will give a
fair general yield. It Is surprising the
growth thnt this country Is capable of
producing.
Wheat has this spring germinated
nnd shown three or four inches growth
in five or six days, nnd with anything
like favorable weather, harvesting
should commence about the lRth of
August, or n little over one hundred
days from first seeding. Hundreds of
farmers throughout this vnst country
paid for their entire holdings out of
one yenr's crop and it would not bo
surprising if the same experience met
a great mnny more this your.
The best authorities on the wheat
situation give it ns their opinion that
for many years to come, whent prices
will be high. They bnse their opinion
on n scientific calculation nnd their
reasoning seems to be sound. Anyway,
It is quite evident that for some years
to come, the producer of ''wheat will
be amply rewarded for any effort ho
may make to develop this branch of
agricultural Industry. Money may bo
made on the high-priced lands of tho
wheat-growing districts of the United
States, but it is n question if these
high-priced lands would not bo moro
profitably employed In other branches
of farming thnn In growing tho smaller
groins, leaving It to lands Just ns pro
ductive for wheat, less expensive to op
erate, nnd with n much smaller

rich fertile plains, Its low railway

Furthermore, these lands, of unex

IMPLEMENT FOR MAINTAINING SOIL MULCH.
(Prepared by tho United States Depart
ment of AKrlculture.)
Farmers cnn make the cultivation
of corn most effective nnd go a long
way toward assuring themselves of
harvesting a good crop by getting the
start of weeds. When these robber
plants nre small, before their roots
have taken linn hold and before they
have used much soil moisture, they
cnn be destroyed by n light stirring of
the soil. When weeds have become
better established, however, deep cul
tivation only will kill them. Such deep
cultivation not only means more labor,
but it cannot be accomplished without
breaking and destroying mnny corn
roots.
If corn lnnd hns been properly pre
pared deep cultivation Is not advisable.
It should never be given close to the
plants nftcr thoy nre n foot high, ns
much harm would be done by breaking
tho roots.
To get nn early start of tho weeds,
in mnny sections or in seasons when
seed germinates slowly, it Is advisable
to harrow once or twice or otherwise
to cultivate the field before corn comes
up. Limited moisture makes thin
stands necessary nnd It is poor man
ngement to allow grass nnd weeds to
rob the corn of this moisture.
Aside from destroying weeds, time
ly cultivation Is beneflclnlMn prevent
ing the loss of moisture by evapora
tion and also in hastening the wnrm
lng of the soil. The loss of soil mois
ture by evaporation continues much
longer from n compnet, damp surface
than from n loose, dry surface, and
the evaporation tends to keep the soli
cold.
In Northern localities nnd nt high
altitudes the conservation of heat is
frequently ns important ns the con
servation of moisture. Luckily, both
hent nnd moisture may be conserved
by good, timely cultivation. Heat is
wasted in evaporating or wasting soli
moisture, making the surface loose
and dry saves both soil beat and soil
moisture.
Cultivate After Rains.
Cultivating after henvy ruins is n
good prnctlce. To be most effective
the cultivating should be done ns soon
ns the surface is dry enough to work
ERADICATION OF WIRE GRASS
Pastures Should Be Completely Pul
verized to Depth of Four Inches
by Cutaway Harrow.
The so-cnllod wire grasses nre mnny.
Such grnsses us propagate by means
of creeping root stalks constnntly re
produce new plants nt the rooting
points, ns couch or quack grass, John
son grnss, Bermuda grass and mem
bers of the bluc-grnss family. This
pasture, If adapted to tillage, should
bo completely pulverized to the depth
of four Inches with n cutnwny or disk
harrow in July nnd keep harrowed once
n week as long ns the soil remains dry
during the remainder of the senson, nl
lowing no green spear of grass to get
a foothold.
By fall the mass of roots will he
practically lifeless If the senson hns
been normally dry and hot. The whole
should then bo turned under ten Inches
deep, using u jointer. In the spring
harrow every week until time to plunt
n cultivated crop, then keep perfectly
clean, nnd the buttle will be won.
IDLE ACRE IS UNPROFITABLE
If Soil Is Not Required to Produce
Some Useful Crop Injurious
Weeds Are Encouraged.
In some wny or other every acre on
the farm should bo compelled to do Its
duty according to Its ability. A lonfcr
is wholly unprofitable and Is very like
ly to get Into mischief; nnd loafing
ncres nro no exception. If they nre
not required to produce some useful
crop they will produce weeds, nnd the
seeds will be scattered by some means
or other over the entire farm. Don't
have nny lonfers about your house or
your barns, nnd don't have any loafing
acres on your fnrm.
BAD FEED QUITE DANGEROUS
Old Corn or Hay, Not Sheltered Prop
erly, Is Often In Moldy and
Poor Condition.
Often tho farmer in the spring of tho
yenr has some old corn or old hny,
which, If It hns not been sheltered
properly, Is moldy nnd In hnd condi
tion. Such feed often Is tho cause of
serious trouble with the stock.
Farmers should bo careful how they
,nse old moldy feed of any kind, for
It is dangerous, often meaning the loss
of several head of stock before the
'trouble Is located.
well. If the soil Is allowed to dry un
til It breaks up cloddy, much moisture
will be lost, u good mulch cannot be
obtained, nnd harm Is more likely to
be done to the corn roots. As long ns
rapid evaporation Is taking place, the
surface will remain cold and the
growth of the corn will be slow. In
order to cover large areas quickly, cul
tivators which work two or moro rows
nre u great advantage.
Tho number of cultivations neces
sary and the best time for them de
pend upon weather nnd soil conditions.
Weeds should not bo allowed to grow,
and a mellow surface should be main
tained. In some seasons this may be
effectually accomplished with one or
two cultivations; In other seasons
from four to six cultivations may be
necessary.
Nothing cnn be gained by continuing
cultivation In cornfields freo from
weeds nnd in which the soil surface
Is mellow. When the surface Is buIII
clently loose nnd dry to reduce evap
oration, Is open enough to prevent run
off, and no weeds nre starting, n cul
tivation could do no good nnd If enre
lessly performed would do Injury to
the corn.
Object of Cultivation.
Corn should be cultivated only when
one or more objects will bo accom
plished by the cultivation nnd when to
tnl effects will be more beneficial than
Injurious. The beneficial effects of
cultivation ure:
(1) Preventing weeds from robbing
the corn of soil moisture nnd fertility.
(2) Putting the surface In condi
tion to take In rainfall, thus prevent
ing run-off and erosion, which mean
losses of wnter und soil fertility.
(3) Wnrmlng tho soil by drying its
surface quickly.
(4) Saving moisture by checking
Its capillary rise to the soil surface.
Some injurious effects of cultivation
arc:
(1) Brenklng tho corn roots which
otherwlso would uso somo of tho
moisture of light showers before it
evnporntes; nnd
(2) Forming large clods nnd nlr
spaces, thus permitting nlr to enter
and dry the soil.
FUNGUS DISEASES OF TOMATO
Blossom-End Rot Attacks Fruit Be
fore It Is Mature, Causing It to
Drop to Ground.
Blossom-end rot of tomatoes Is n
disease caused by n fungus. It nttneks
the blossom-end of the fruit while tho
fruit Is green und causes It to rot nnd
drop off before It Is mnture. As soon
as the dlsenso Is observed, pull off all
affected fruit nnd destroy It. After this,
spray thoroughly with bordenux mix
ture. Bordeaux mixture Is made with
one pound of blue stone, one pound of
quick lime nnd 12 gallons of wnter. Dis
solve the blue stone by hanging It In a
cloth bng, In water, over night. Slake
the lime seporotely, then mix the two
thoroughly, nnd ndd the 12 gallons of
wnter. Earthen, glass or wood recep
tacles must be used to dissolve the
blue stone In. It will corrodo metal.
If fruit Is ripened, gnther all ripe
fruit before sprnylng. It Is neces
sary to repeat the spray every week
as long ns there Is nny sign of the dls
enso. PIGS WORK FOR THEMSELVES

do the work themselves, thus saving
the cost nnd worry of poor help? Plan
to hnvo crops ready for the pigs to
