Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel Up
Corns or Callouses so They Lift
Oft With Fingers.

Ouch III! This kind Of rough talk
will be heard less here in town if people
troubled with corns will follow the simple ad-
vice of this Cincinnati authority, who claims
that few DR., ps of drug called freezone
when applied to a tender. aching corn or hard
ened callous stops soreness at once. and soon
the corn or callous dries up and lifts right off
without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately and
never inflames or even irritates the surround
ing skin. A email bottle Of freezona will cost
very little at any drug store. but will positive
ly remove every bard or soft corn and csllous
from ones feet. Millions Of American women
will welcome this announcement since the in.
suguration Of the high heels. II your druggist
bottle for you.

SHEEP ON SMALL FARMS.
They Cost Little and Give Good Value
In Various Ways.

They Cost Little and Give Good Value
In Various Ways.
DR.. r. II. Williams, animal husband
ryman, University of Arizona agricul-
turaT experiment station, believes that
every farmer should keep a small flock
Of sheep. They cost little for feed, for
they act as weed scavengers and grow
into marketable products at an early
age. Small flOcks upon every irrigated
farm will become more popular, for it
10 on such farms that maximum re-
suits may be obtained in the projects
There are also many waste places on
farms which may be utilized for sheep
production. Another advantage of
sheep Is that they require little labor
They come as near solving the ''hired
help problem" as any other kind of
mixed farming. Lambs milk the ewes
at somewhat regular intervals, and
they separate the milk and store away
the product without the use of cans or
refrigeration. When a farmer sees a
bulge on his side of the market the
kind hearted and industrious lambs are
asked to trot to market, carrying all
the milk and worry with them. 1t is
like finding money, for the sheep have
paid their way in wool, fertilizer and

Bees In the Orchard.

The idea that bees do harm in an or
chard has been disproved in an investi-
CATION made at Florence, Italy. The
bees cannot perforate the skin Of the
fruit, and the damage is due to hor,
nets, wild birds, wind or hail. BY
sucking injured fruit the bees really
prevent fermentation and the spread
ing Of rot. They also render service in
the cross pollinatiOn of flowers and the
resulting setting of fruit, and orchards
and vineyards frequented by them bear
most regularly.

Four Years of Sudan Grass,

Sudan grass, introduced by the de-
partment of agriculture and first dis
tributed in 1912, has proved remarka-
bly, successful as hay crop in the mid
acreage now planted is very large. Nj
merous related varieties have now been
secured from Africa and are being
tested, especially the dwarf varieties
with larger grain that may be har-
vested like oats.

In first experiences with a piece of
land incubation should always be tried
on all legume crops, such as peas, al
falfa, clover, beans, etc, leaving a
check strip without incubation of soil
or seed. The reason for this is. that
there are yet unbound conditions that
affect incubation, and each farmer
should test it for himself.

The gambrel roof will cost a little

Fixing Furnaces Properly
Will Reduce Coal Cost

A little good judgment mixed with
the coal as it goes into the feed door
will reduce the cost of heating the
house. declares L. NJ SCHNEIDER, col
lege of agriculture, University of Wis
consin. Furnaces can be fired in such
a way that about all Of the fuel passes
out of the pipe or they may be tended
so that large percentage of the heat
is utilized.
When adding fresh coal do not cover
the fire completely. Leave small
spot Of live Goals exposed. Gases
which are given off as the green coal
becomes heated will then be ignited by
the live embers and produce more
heat; otherwise they escape through
the chimney.
Keep deep fire in the firepot. More
live Goals will then be I'm contact with
the flrepot and more heat will pass
through TO the heating chamber The
top of the coal bed should be nearly
level with the firing door. Heated
gases will then pass over the top of
the combustion chamber before they
exhaust Thus larger quantity OF
their heat will be given off. scl1g
Watch your draft. Every furnace
has conditions all its own, and they
must be carefully studied. II the draft

GROWING BULBS IN ROOMS.
Why the Markets Are Well Stocked at
Reasonable Prices.

Lovers of flowers who live in fats,
are no yards for bulb planting can
have their plants in their ROOMS. The
wizards of the flower world have dis.
covered that the rarest bulbs as well
as the common ones grow their best
in prepared fiber. This is fortified
and is cheap. Bulbs can be planted in
this fiber in vases and bowls. The
fiber Is dampened from time TO time,
and nature does the rest.
In the last twenty-five years bulbs
have never been as cheap as they now
are, nor has the American market been
supplied with Il better quality than can
be bought this season.
Holland, the greatest bulb producing
country in the world, is a neutral ma
ton, hut the countries engaged in war
years of peace England. France and
Germany We're great patrons Of the
bulb market. They had the first choice
of the select bulbs. Today these mar
kets virtually are closed. The Holland
bulb growers look to this country to
buy their output aud for this reason
are Offering the choicest bulbs at prices
so cheap that bulb planting Is placed Ia
easy reach OF nearly every person.
1t is to the thoughtful lover of flow
ers that the present cheapness OF bulbs
will appeal. Once planted in the open
air the bulbs will bloom patiently for
years and years. They never die nat
nrally and win Yield their fragrant
harvest each spring.
