Tho Disappearing Pines.

Clemson College, March 20.--As
each day goes by our supply of pine
timber grows less. Throughout the
fall and winter months farmers and
others are busy cutting the small
trees and selling them for wood. AL
ready there is more land cleared
than lis handled properly, and to cut
off the young growth Of pines means
that )erc is just that much more
land exposed and allowed to become
badly washed, and soon unfit for cul
tivation This is especially true OF
our steep hillisdes, which ought to
be kept timhered in order to check
the washing and formation Of gull
lies. One does not have to look far
to sec many hillsides of timber, and
small and large gullies growing each
day larger and larger. These steep
| hillsidcs should never be cleared.
Our timber should by all means be
preserved, and our work put on
cleared lands to improve them, and
not on new land, which after few
years will likely be abandoned and
allowed to become so badly washed
as to be very poor farm land.
There is very little thought given
! as to how the barns and other build
ings are to be repaired in the future
Our small pines should be guarded
with jealous care, and everything
possible done to preserves them.
There Is a constant demand on the
farm for material for repairs, and to
cut off all our timber means that we
shall have to purchase lumber for
the necessary repairs. Every far
mer, who has a grove of pines on his
farm should be careful to take good
care of them, cutting them only as
needed on the farm, and using only
the dead trees and inferior ones for
wood. A farm with some timber on
it is more valuable than one which
has been stripped OF every thing in
the way of woods.

YES! LIFT 4 CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN.
Cincinnati Authority Tells How to
Dry Up II Corn or Callus So it
Lifts on With Fingers.

You corn-pestered men and wo-
men need suffer no longer. Wear the
shoes that nearly killed you before,
says this Cincinnati authority. be-
cause few drops Of freezone applied
directly on tender, aching corn or
calius, stops soreness at once and
soon the corn or hardened callus
looscns so 1t can be lifted out, root
and all. without pain.
a small bottle Of freezone costs
very little at any drug store. but will
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any free
zone tell him to get a small bottle
for you from his wholesale drug
house. 1t Is fine stuff and acts like
charm every time.-Adv.
