factors influence the tendency of an

quantity and quality of food. A given
amount Of food will produce more

treatment is continued for a long time
the animal may become permanently
Stunted.
Stunning an animal as the result of
insufficient food may be only tempo
rary condition. An animal does not
lose it's capacity to grow as the result
of stunting. f. B. Mumford, dean of
the Missouri College of Agriculture,
cites feeding test at the Missouri ex-
pertinent station in which an animal
that had been stunted by poor feeding
to such an extent that it weighed only
200 pounds at twelve months of age,
gained 841 pounds during the second
year. Only Sc pounds of grain for
each pound of gain made were re-
quired on this steer stunted during the
first twelve months. A steer that had
been generously fed during the first
twelve months of his life gained only
500 pounds during the second twelve
months, and this gain was more expen-
sive than the gain made on the stunted
steer. The amount of grain required
to make a pound of gain on the we'll
fed steer was 9.8 pounds.
It is certain that stunting an animal
even for so long a period as twelve
months does not destroy it's capacity
to grow.

The best gains ever secured at the

The grain ration consisted of a mix

Each lot was started on one pound

The average daily gain per head for
the lot that received the alfalfa hay

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or caIIus so it lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter
wear shoes a size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks Of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.
