A dealersin eggs was heard to say
not long since that the summer would
see the price of-eggs flop way down
He explained by saying that the peo-
pie in the communities about his lit
tie town could not be made to see the
very great advantage and good that
would come to themselves as well as
to buyers and users of eggs if the
ROSTERS were confined or butchered
in order that infertile eggs might be
produced. 1t is a known fact that the
losses entailed every year, because
fertile eggs, are so great in just this
state until you would be astonished if
you only knew the figures. The pro-
duction of infertile eggs would not on
ly be a very great commercial saving
in the way of dollars and cents to the
producers but also would be great
east Of fear and embarrassment to
the consumers OF eggs. An infertile
egg will keep sound very long time
during the summer months.

FEED OUT YOUR HOGS SIX
WEEKS EARLIER.

In every lot of hogs on feed two or
three weeks quickly and actually eat
less than others. If all would fatten
like these, the entire drove would be
ready for the market six weeks
earlier and to save six weeks feed is
an item that you fully understand.
The hog that fattens easily must
be in prime physical condition. The
B. "A. Thomas Hog Powder is con-
ditioner for hogs. It Keeps their
system clean and healthy and enables
them to fatten quickly without falling
a prey to the usual digease Of hogs
The B. A. Thomas Hos Powder is not
stock food. It's straight medicine, and
we took the agency because it enables
you to feed out your hogs much earli-
err.

HARD AND SOFT OR
ANY KIND OF CORN
Tells how to loosen a tender corn
so it lifts out with
out pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn, the soreness is relieved
and soon the entire corn, root and all,
lifts out with the fingers.
1t is a sticky substance which dries
the moment it is applied and is said
to simply shrivel the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin. 1t is claimed
that a quarter of an ounce will cost
very little at any of the drug stores,
but is sufficient to rid ones feet of
every hard or soft corn or callus.
You are further warned that cutting
at corn is suicidal habit.

mitted every year in this country to be
either burned or left to rot in the big,

Well, this straw stands head and

they are soaking into value soil
