at farming, my trade being meat-cut-
ting and butchering. My capital was
$400. which was first payment on
my quarter section (160 acres). Most
Of my stock, harness, implements, etc.
were bought at sales, all ION time"
necessarily. The buildings on the place
were about as good as nothing and had
either to be rebuilt or replaced entirely.
There were 2G acres broken, and very
badly farned, bringing poor returns
the first year. After mentioning
number Of mischances, he says: "ln

YESl LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up corn or caIlus 20 Il lifts
of with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops Of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens SO 1t can be
lifted OF, root and all, without pain
A small bottle Of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-.
lively take of every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as 1t
ID inexpensive and Is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
II your druggist hasn't any freezone

IDEAL Time to Spray for Pests Is
After Hatching-Use Sui

Watch carefully for the Matching Of
plant-lice eggs. The ideal time to
spray for these is Just after Matching

the leaves. The spraying material
to use at this time is q sulphate Of
nicotine.
Plow the plum orchard as soon as
possible to turn under mummied plums
which are responsible for much Of the
primary infection of brown rot.
Flowing the apple orchard early to
turn under the old leaves Is essential
in preventing scab spreading to the

MODERN EQUIPMENT
REQUIRED FOR BEES
Old Box Hive Is Too Inconvenient
-Beekeeper Unable TO Ex-
anime His Colonies.

Get modern equipment for bee
keeping" advises DR.. ]. II. Merrill,
assistant professor Of entomology In
the Kansas State Agricultural col.
lege.
The old box hive Is too incon.
venient and does not afford any means
for the beekeeper to examine his col.
onles and know what they are doing.
On the other hand, with modern equip.
ment the average farmer can control
swarming, take out the honey at any
time without seriously disturbing the
bees. readily examine them when.
ever he chooses. Moreover, when net
profits are taken into consideration
modern equipment costs less than the
old box hive.
THE beekeeper does not want the
bees to swarm" says Doctor Merrill,
because a good strong colony In one
hive will make more honey than the
same colony divided between two
hives. The average man, however, can.
not destroy the queen cells which fur.
nish the cause of the swarming.
In the modern hive inexpensive
wax foundations Of the desired size
may be purchased and the bees will
build cells Of the same size as the
foundations. There are three kinds Of
cells, the largest being the queen cell,
the smallest the worker cell, and the
middle the drone cell. BY providing
the small foundations for worker cells,
only worker cells will be built and only
workers will be hatched."

Predicts Increased Output Of silver.

The surprising drop in the silver
market will not have any noticeable
effect on silver mining in Colorado,
In the opinion of F. NJ. Carroll, state
mining commissioner. People in this
state pay little or no attention to the
fluctuation Of the market said he.
1T is a queer psychological fact that
silver miners here pay little attention
to fall In the market. but consider
ably more attention to a rise. II the
market goes up after this drop, the
production OF silver may increase far
more than II the market had been
stable"
Carroll expects large increase In
the output Of silver this year, prob
ably SURPRISING that Of last year, when
Colorado produced more silver than
1t had for years and showed signs OF
again coming into Its own in the sill
yer market.
