You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
ar least once week invited an awful

are now told by Cincinnati authority
TO use a drug called freezone. which
the moment a few drops are applied

Freezone dries the moment it is ap-

irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle OF freezone will
cost very little at any of the drug
stores, but will positively rid ones

dened callous. If your druggist hasn't
any freezone he can get It at any

MARiONS POSSIBILITIES RE
VEALED IN A VISIT TO THE
EDWARDS BROTHERS. FARM
Hundreds of Acres That Will Average
From Twelve TO Twenty Tons
Other Staple Crops Receiving
the Same Close Attention
CORN WELD NOW MEASURED
ONLY BY THE TON

Our eloquent Pine correspondent
has recently visited Fairfield, one
among the many rich spots of Marion
county, and while there was shown
over the L. x. Edwards farm. which
he describes as "marvelously oesuti-
full"
The Edwards brothers seem to have
natural-born talent for this line of
work, which is daily becoming more
and more scientific and profitable.
On Thursday afternoon We visited
the farm of the Edwards brothers
Will J. and John ID only few
miles from Ocala
The crops NAV well be described as
marvellous
Nj. WIFE Edwards conducts the OPP
erations. He has had the honor Of
being president Of our council and
mayor of our city, and was noted then
as he IS now for his practical ideas,
fine judgment and a wealth Of sound
common sense.
The possession Of these talents is
found to be as essential in the conduct
Of farm as in the conduct of a mu,
nicipality
The corn crop, consisting Of hun
dreds Of acres, notwithstanding the
long continued drouth. is green from
the ground up, and some stalks have
as many as three. four, five. six, and
some few as many as eight ears
some OF them are small ones, OF
course, but the entire crop will av-
erage perhaps three ears to the stalk.
The Edwards Brothers no longer
count the yield per acre by the bushel
or barrel but by the ton. They do
this because they save the stalk and
blades the same as the full grown
ears. In the complete feed they reck-
on the ears at 50 per cent. and the
stalks and blades az 40 AS silage
the whole is kept in a condition ex-
tremely relished by both cattle and
hogs all winter long.
Some of the fields of corn II is est
mated will yield perhaps as much as
twenty tons per acre, and none less
than twelve.
The sorghum, peanut, potato and
pea crops are growing as rankly. and
show the same thorough and system
attic cultivation as the corn crops
On the farm are already four large
silos with a capacity Of 40 tons
each. and TWO more are in process of
erection These they expect to fill
from top TO bottom, and all the while
they have several hundred acres
planted to various crops on which
they expect their cattle and hogs t,
Craze to help along in the fattening
process.
The Edwards Brothers barns are
still amply supplied with corn and
hay from last years planting.
These young men have hundreds
of acres Of pasture land on which
their cattle Craze in the summer and
in the fall they are in fine condition
for fattening for market.
They find stock growing very prof
liable. and is growing more and more
so since there is a ready market for
improved varieties
The Messrs. Edwards are hopeful Of
the future and see a bright outlook
Tor our county in the growing OF
stock.
