C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle Of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops Of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted Off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet Of
eorns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries In
q moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone

RAISING PIGEONS FOR PROFIT
II Is Not Wise to Grow Squads
in Cold Weather.

II Is not best to attempt to grow
squads during the colder months unless
your houses are warm enough to pre-
vent the freezing of the eggs, or the
young after being Matched.
When the young are hatched during
the cold months they are very likely to
become chilled when the parent bird
leaves them for food. Once they are
chilled through, they are quite likely
not to seek n food supply, and, chilled
through, they are lost product which
cannot be regained or replaced.
Il wouldn't raise pigeons, they're too
dirty" is the complaint often made
against these beautiful birds; while, as
a matter of fact. II Is far less work to
keep pigeon loft and fly free from
ill-smelling odors than poultry house.
Step into pigeon loft where litter has
been allowed to accumulate two or
three weeks and you will notice merely
slight ammonia odor; but allow the

ers Have Thin Bones.

When a hen Is laying. the two pelvic
bones are spread apart abOpt the d.
ameter Of an egg (1% inches); other
wise 1t would be impossible for the
eggs TO pass from the hen without the
shell being crushed. As such an ac-
cident would prove fatal to the layer,
nature precluded Its occurrence by ex-
panding or separating the pelvic bones
in correlation with the development Of
the eggs.
In the nonlayer, for illustration, the
distance between the pelvic bones is
the width OF one finger or less, and 1t
usually requires from four to six
weeks for this hen TO graduate from
the "one-fnger" unproductive class 10
the "three-fnger" active layer 1t Is
apparent that the expansion OF the
bones is secondary to the development
of the eggs; hence, the more rapidly
the hen forms he. eggs, tho faster her
pelvic bones are adjusted to the lay
ing condition.
A few layers have thin, flexible
bones apparently desirable 'condi-
tion) that do not expand so wide as
hens with firm bones, and care must be
exercised In judging whether such hens
are laying or not.--Ciemson College

HANDY EGG GAMBLERS
Some Sort Of inexpensive Device
Should Be at Hand.
Simplest Kind Of Tester 10 Made From
Piece Of Wrapping Paper, Rolled
to Form Tube-Fresh EGG
Has Pink Tinqe.

Eggs intended for private trade
should be tested or candled for quality.
With this in mind, some sort Of In
expensive Gambling device should be
had. The simplest kind OF tester Is
made from piece of wrapping paper
u by "a inches, rolled to form tube
II inches long. To inspect the egg the
tube is placed to the eye and then the
egg, with the large end uppermost, Is
so placed that the sunlight will strike
II. Many times dark room can be had,
but not the sunlight. An ordinary shoe
box and bedroom lamp will be just
the thing. A hole is made in the top of
the box and one Mt the bottom for the
free circulation of air about the lamp.
In front of the lamp flame hole the
size of quarter Is made. This candling
device is efficient and will, In most
cases, meet the needs on the farm.
When electric lighting service is avail
able and a great many eggs are to be
candled, round cylinder eight inches
high and four inches In diameter,
with two holes In front and one small
one In the bottom, is attached to a
large "r" extending about is inches
from the wall. The lamp cord Is
dropped down the perpendicular pipe
10 which the cylinder is attached. A
acknowledgement lamp is used to give
the best results. With this device fouI
eggs may be handled at time by an
experienced candler.
A fresh egg has a pinkisb tinge. An
egg that has dark spot the size OF
dime on the yolk shows that incuba
ton has taken place and the egg Is nc
longer fit for food under ordinary cir
| cumstances.

hens should be busted thoroughly with

to sprinkle little Of the powder In

The machine should be operated In n

ture changes. 1t should be disinfected
thoroughly before being used, with a
solution of reliable coal-tar disln-
fectant. Instead of using such So
luton small receptacle containing
potash on which one-half ounce of
formalin has been poured may be shut
up in the incubator. The resulting
gas will thoroughly dlsiofect the ma
chine. After disinfection the incuba-
tor should be run empty for several
days to get 1t In good operating condi-
tion. After the eggs are In place the
temperature should be at from 1Ol u
| to 102 degrees Fahrenheit the first
week, 102 to 103 degrees the second
week, and at 103 degrees the third
week.
The eggs usually are turned for the
first time at the end Of the second
day and twice daily through the eight
eenth or nineteenth day. The eggs are
cooled outside the Matching chamber

CFrom the United States Department OF
Agricultural
The poultry raiser on farm or In
city who wishes to produce fall and
winter eggs with a by-product OF
spring "fryers" should begin now to
play for the early setting Of eggs, say
poultry specialists Of the United
States department Of sriculture. In
the states of the extreme South set
tings should be made from the first
to the middle Of February; In the CEN
tral group Of states, from the early
part to the last of February; and in
the northern tier of states, from the
latter part Of February to the early
part of April With settings timed
on this schedule. the chicks will hatch
In ample time to allow their maturity
before cold weather. The pullets
from these broods lay during the late
fall or early winter when eggs are
scarcest.
The setting schedule outlined also
will permit the development Of early
spring "fryers."- The young chicks
will be developed to the point where
they may be turned out on the ground
by the time vegetation Is out, and SO
may augment their feed with green
stuff. The smaller breeds of chickens
can be hatched later than those which
are larger and slower to develop.

PHOENIX MEN DE[|GHTEDBY
 CHAUTAUQUA

Five prominent Phoenicians went to Mesa last evening to attend the Chau- tauqua program there to see if it was up to standard, and they came home l more than enthusiastic. In the first place they found that Mesa had turned out in a body, packing the big tent and growing more and more enthusias- JIG. The same program will be given in Phoenix this evening.
 The program starts here tonight and the first will be the famous Australian Manikins, said to be the most marvel ous mechanical entertainment ever de- vised Then comes a lecture, What America Means to Me-" by Arthur Welwyn Evans, nephew of the English premier David Lloyd George.
 Here is what the enthusiastic Phoe- nicians, after fine trip in T. L. Bol- tons Mitchell six. had to say of the first program
 If the peolIe od Phoenix really want to hear patriotic address they want to hear Arthur WelWyn Evans, who speaks tonight on the Chautauqua platform in Phoenix. We heard him last evening at Mesa and it was well worth going to hear. l can tell you. MT. Evans is a nephew of David Lloyd
 
 utterances cannot fail to arouse the people of this section He made a profound impression last evening"" - Charles F. Heath.
 The Australian Manikins was one of the most unique forms of enter tainment l have ever witnessed. They delighted old as we'll as young. I know from the way l enjoyed them.
 The little town of Mesa packed that tent and they had a really worth while ntertainment'-Dr F. H. RedeWil
 While MT. Evans is an Englishman and the subject of his talk is What America Means to Me- quite consid- erable portion of his address is upon the present war situation and, there fore, very timely He handles this topic in very ingenious manner, showing up a number of points which have not been touched upon by speak CTS in this section before. W L. Pin ney
 All of Mesa was out. Ii was very select audience and was more than pleased at the opening program. It struck me that MT. Evans comes as near as any man I have heard talk expressing the American mind on the situation. Phoenicians should not fan to HCdi Hiiii. ne iS uol eIIdtlC anu ne is not spasmodic He showed the con- crete mind of America and American thought. He said America could be expressed with one word-but you should go and hear him. He asked the audience to express that word and they had got it from him and had no diff culty in expressing the needed word" Arthur c. Hulett.
 The Manikins are great stuff for the kids Evans reminded me in many ways of Billy Sunday. You can get more patriotism in the half hour of his talk than you can get out of a host of patriotic meetings. '-T. L. Bolton
