ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,
DOESN'T HURT A BIT!
No fooIishness! LIT your oorns
and calluses off with fingers
It's like maqic!

Sore corns. hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
apply upon the corn few drops of
freezone, says Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get a small
bottle of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
1t is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while ap-
plying 1t or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many Of our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv. =

WhV Rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather

A close connection exists between
these two cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause of rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance of their
water as soon as it gets cold; there is
often copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
gout, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
profuse sweating, as in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
of the double burden. Another reason

By FRANK D. TOMSON)
The year 1915 has witnessed an ex-
pansion of the influence of improved
live stock, an expansion heretofore un-
equaled In the history of the live
stock industry. This expansion seems
to apply with especial emphasis to the
shorthorn, both at home and abroad.
There has been an unparalleled demand
for shorthorn breeding stock through
out the United States and prices have
naturally held to n higher plane than
usual. To be sure, in former periods
prices reached higher levels, but neith-
er the demand nor the prices were ever
so uniform before-evidence of the ex-
listing substantial demand for prac-
teal farmers and stockmen.
Boom for Live Stock.
All through the New England states
and along the Atlantic seaboard, down
through the Southern states, there has
been decided inclination to en-
gage in live stock husbandry in order
to conserve the fertility of the soil and
increase the income. The farmers of
the central states, comprising the corn
belt, are turning again to beef produc-
ton, and throughout the mountain and
coast states there Is general inclina-
ton to replenish the depleted supply
of cattle. So it Is from coast to coast
and from the Gulf far into Canada n
recognition of the necessity of using
improved blood has induced an active
investment in registered cattle and
shorthorns have steadily gained In IA
vor, for this historic breed has been
safely relied upon for more than
century in this country to improve the
cattle stocks.
Exchange Of Judges.
Early In the summer an exchange OF
judges was arranged for between the
United States and Argentina and three
men of recognized ability. Dean q. f.

fected, and so spread the contagion.
There Is no cure for glanders, and
being so contagious 1t has been found
best to kill glandered horses. The
sooner they are killed and destroyed
the less danger of other horses becom-
ing infected. This Is so much of
community problem that most states
pay the owner of glandered horse

the state part of Its value.
1t is not always possible to dag
nose glanders from the symptoms. A
test called the Mallein test can be
used to determine whether horse has
glanders or not. This test is very re-
liable.
Chambers also attacks humans and Is
usually fatal. Care should be taken
in handling n glandered horse. The
infection comes through some of the
glanders pus getting into the eye or
gaining entrance through the skin
where 1t is cut or scratched.
In case horse is suspected of hav-
ing glanders, report to the state live
stock sanitary board or your state vet
erinarian and deputy will be sent
out to investigate the case, and If 1t
is glanders, proper steps will be taken

they eat more meat in cold weather, and

to serve in the great show of the year
at Buenos Aires. In return came
Senior Pedro 7. Pages and Senor Car
los NJ. Duggan from Argentina, who
passed on the shorthorn breeding
classes and the fat classes, where
grades and cross-breds competed, at
the recent international show at Chi
cago. These gentlemen from Argen-
tina are among the largest cattle
breeders in the world. While In the
States they visited many of the best
known breeding establishments of the
several improved breeds in order that
they might become intimately familiar
with the methods and the standards of
our breeders generally.
Shorthorn Sale.
An interesting fact is that ut the
Argentine show a sale of shorthorns
resulted in an average of $500 per
head, the reserve champion bull sell
Ing for $4,000, Argentine money, or
approximately $4,000 United States
gold. AS the Argentine breeders are
steadily in the market for hlgh-class
breeding stock, the closer relations
which are being established between
this country and Argentina Will have
tendency to greatly increase our
trade. Our position is strengthened,
too, by the fact that the display OF
! breeding stock at the international
show, Chicago, was of the highest
merit throughout and the largest num-
bers in the history of the show. The
shorthorn breeding classes alone con-
tanned approximately 500 entries. The
numbers represented and their uniform
merit made most favorable impress
sion upon the Argentine judges and
the United States breeders have, there
by, gained material advantage. The
prospects for further extension of
trade at home are bright. A number
of Western states already have en-
acted laws prohibiting the turning of
any but registered bulls on the open
range.

WESTERN CANADA LEADS
AS WHEAT PRODUCER
100000 Bushels Wheat in
1915; In 1916 Many Farm
ers Paid for Their Land
Out of Their Crop.

That Western Canada is indeed
'Niistress of Wheat to the extent that
its 1915 crop exceeded, acre for acre,
the production of any country on THIS
continent is striking fact proved by
the following figures:
In 1915 the Dominion of Canada pro-
duced 376OOO,OOO bushels of wheat,
which represented an average yield of
90 bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1,011 ,505. 900 bushels,
yield of II bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors in wheat produc-
ton in South America were Argentine,
with ITS, ,221 900 bushels, or less than
II bushels per acre, and Chile, with
100000 bushels or 13 bushels per
acre.
The three Western Canadian prairie
provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
842, ,0OO, 900 bushels out of the total ga
madam 376,OOO,OOO bushels. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that, outside of the
United States, Western Canada pro-
duced considerably more than the com
bined production of North and South

settled country, and the fact that the
crop of the United States was pract-
cally three times us much is no dis
couragement The United States has
at present more than twelve times the
population of Canada in approximately
the same area.
To illustrate further the greater pro-
.ductiveness of Western Canadian land,
we submit the following figures, show
ing the 1915 yields per acre in the
three provinces of Western Canada
and in the states which in that year
produced the greatest quantity of
wheat. The figures are taken from the
U. S. department of agriculture's an
nual report and from the figures of the
Dominion census bureau:
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1917-02-01

In 1916 the crop was not as heavy,
but the yields in many districts were
very large. So large, indeed, was the
acreage under cultivation in 1915 that
the resulting crop proved too large to be
all threshed the same fall. 1t over
loaded railroads, and made marketing
slow. A less amount of fall plowing
was done than would have been done
in less heavy year, because the aver
age farmer was too busy with his
threshing. All these conditions nee
essarily reacted upon the acreage
seeded in the spring of 1916 Add to
this that labor last year, owing to the
great number of Canadians who have
enlisted, was scarce and high-priced,
and one factor in the decreased yield
smaller acreage under crop was evil
dent.
Another factor is that this year
Western Canada has experienced, in
common with the entire North Ameri
can continent, conditions that have
been less favorable to the production
of big crops. The conditions have re-
suited in smaller yield per acre and
reduced grade of grain in certain local
tiles.
The average yield of wheat in the
three western provinces is estimated
by the government ut about 16 bushels
per acre, oats 43 bushels, and barley
27 bushels.
The financial value of their crops to
Western Canadian farmers has been
greater this year than ever before.
70 hn oh Of N N
are prevailing, returns have been re-
ceived that are extremely profitable.
With wheat standing at the present
time at over S1.9O per bushel at the
Great Lakes, wheat crop at present
figures would pay the farmer, even
supposing he had only the average of
10 bushels per acre, over $1,000 per
acre. A large number are receiving
$4,000 per acre-some have received
$500, and n few even more than that.
This price, of course, is not all profit;
1T represents the gross return, and the
cost of operation must be deducted.
But 1t does not, even at the highest fig
ures, cost more than 90 cents to raise
a bushel of wheat in Western Canada.
so that the profit can be figured accord
ingly. 1t must be emphasized that the
acre which produces $4,000 crop costs
in the first case, probably less than
that In the United States the same
class of land would cost in many dis
tricts from 500 to 5000 per acre, and
even then return of $1,000 would be
considered extremely satisfactory. In
Western Canada the best class of ag-
riculturaI land capable of producing
crops that in size compare with any
country in the world except, perhaps
some European countries can be OBJ
