HAD A CAPITAL OF s4OO
In Six Years He Was Well Off

An Alberta farmer, who had bor-
rowed from loan company, in re-
mitting to them the last payment on
his mortgage, decided to give them the
history of his experience, on Mani
toba farm. 1t was that Of many anoth-
er farmer, and for the benefit Of those
who contemplate change the liberty
Is taken Of reproducing 1t.
II will give you here brief sum-
mary Of my experience since coming
here six years ago. I was new hand
at farming, my trade being meat-cut-
ting and butchering. My capital was
$40O, which was a first payment on
my quarter section (160 acres). Most
of my stock, harness, Implements. etc,
were bought at sales, all ION time,"
necessarily. The buildings on the place
were about as good as nothing and had
either to be rebuilt or replaced entirely.
There were 26 acres broken, and very
badly farmed, bringing poor returns
the first year." After mentioning
number Of mischances, he says: I'm
spite Of all these drawbacks, / have
done well. / consider my farm worth
$500 to $4,000. I have four head Of
horses, 12 of cattle, over 400 purebred
Bun Orpington chickens and 12o tur-
keys, besides implements, harness, etc,
to run my place. I have well ITO
feet deep with an inexhaustible supply
of water. The well with pump cost
me $4O0. have built $125 chicken
house and put up nearly $50 worth Of
poultry fencing; have built root cellars
to hold over 5000 bushels Of potatoes
and other vegetables. As to income,
raise about ten acres of garden and
roots annually which net from 5000 to
$1,000 total. I generally sell from
20 to 40 tons timothy hay which brings
from So to $14 per ton. My grain is
most all used on the farm except
few hundred bushels sold to the neigh
bors for seed. My four milk cows bring
in from $50 to $50 each Counting calf.
Last year 80 hens laid 600 dozen eggs
which averaged more than 25 cents a
dozen Il always work for winter egg
production). The surplus hens were
sold In spring, dressed at 81 each. Ny
turkeys average $3.50 each in fall. By
having vegetables to feed my young
cattle, the two-year-old steers bring
S76 each in spring.

YES! LIFT A CORN

Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up 4 corn or eallus SO It lifts

You corn-pestered men and women

Cincinnati authority. because few
drops of freezone applied directly on a

A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take of every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as 1t
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.

LONDON TAPS LATEST DANCE
lt's Fox Trot and Grapevine Com.
bined, With Aecentuated
Steps.

Do you dance the London Taps"
You do II you are up to date.
For this is the dance of the hour.
Because Of its simplicity 1t is easily
mastered.
Originating In New York city, de-
spite its British name, 1t is simply q
variation of the familiar fox trot, re-
marks the Boston Globe. In fact. 1t
IL merely n combination Of the fox trot
and grapevine steps with the addition
Of five taps Of the foot, which are
made to accentuate beats Of the music.
But as the grapevine steps are triie
the London Taps" then becomes a fox
trot with five taps every time the music
calls for them.
Thus it will be seen that the name of
the dance Is derived from the taps in
the dance steps and not from the
fact that 1t Is supposed to be danced
after taps Is sounded IN London.
1. As in all modern ballrom dances,
the first position is the customary WIS.,
avis.
2. After four walking steps the
dancers take the grapevine position,
the man crossing his right foot in front
Of his left, while the lady crosses her
left foot in front Of her right.
3. In the second step Of the grape
vine the couple has faced about, the
man bringing his left foot in front Of
his right foot and the lady crossing
her right foot in front of her left.
4. On the third step, instead of max
Ing another grapevine-as the cross
steps are called-the man extends his
left foot and the lady her right foot.
The movement completed, the dancers
take four walking steps in fox-trot
time.
8. There are five accentuated sta
tionary steps or rather taps Of the feet
to the count, "One, two-one, two,
three" 1t doesn't matter whether the
first tap is made with the left or right
foot.
6. Here the second Of the I'VE taps
is being taken on the right foot. After
they have been taken the walking steps
are continued until the dancers de-
sire to repeat the grapevine steps or
the taps. Ef

SCIENTIST FEARS ALCOHOL.

fear alcohol as fear the bacillus
found associated, probably casually,
with anesthetic leprosy, because 1t
does away with the danger signals
with which we are provided through
our senses-pain. irritability, hunger,
fatigue. Each one of these may be
rendered less insistent by the use Of
alcohol, but the real causes Of these
sensations are left unaffected or may
even be increased by the use of the
very agent that blunts the "senses"
through which they are manifested

LIQUOR BUSINESS AND LABOR.

"The average workingman fears be-
ing out Of a job more than he does
going to hell, and the liquor interests
have capitalized on this fear" said
Rev. Charles Stelzle before the Fed
eral Council of Churches. And he
pointed out that:
"If the money now invested in the
liquor business were invested in the
average American industry it would
give employment to four times as
many workingmen, who collectively
would receive four times as much in
the form Of wages, and four times as
much raw material would be required
than is now the case in the liquor busl-
ness"
Mr.. Stelzle said that the number of
workingmen employed in the liquor
business has been greatly exaggerated.
The liquor interests purchase annually
only about an average of $40 worth of
produce from each farmer In the Unit
ed States.

FAIRNESS TO TAXPAYERS.

A Muncie (Ind.) judge the other day
made the novel ruling that man not
only has a right to lie down In the sa-
loon where he becomes intoxicated but
that 1t is his duty to do SO instead Of
going to some other place. The vic
tim in the case had explained to the
Judge that after drinking at the bar
he felt the drunken stupor coming on
and SO hurried to the jail, only block
away, and gave himself up, because he
did not suppose the saloonkeeper
would permit him to sleep of his in
toxication on his premises. $50 you

In line with this comes the Michigan
Workmen's Compensation Mutual of
Detroit, which, we learn from the West

has sent its members a circular letter
on the booze question. We quote:
"The careful consideration of all
moral hazards involved under the COM
pensation law reveals the fact that
booze is the biggest.
Booze Is SO insidious in its work
lngs that even though an employee may
not be actually under the influence Of
liquor at the time of an injury, a very
large percentage Of all injuries are
either directly or Indirectly due to the
drinking of liquor.

mending to all of our members that

dispensed with as promptly as possible,
