LIFT YOUR C0RNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How TO loosen a tender corn
or calIus 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 a 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.

PREPARE GEESE FOR MARKET
Use SIender-BIaded Sharp Knife, Maxi
ing Cut Well Back in Order to
Induce Free Bleeding.

When the birds are thoroughly fal
and plump, geese may be killed in the
following manner: Hang by the feet,
back to the wall and insert q long
slender-bladed, sharp knife into the
roof of the mouth. The cut should be
made well back in order to induce free
bleeding. 1t is difficult to drypick a
fat bird without tearing the skin. A
better way is to loosen the feathers
by Scalding or steaming.
A good way is to make small plat
form of laths and place it in the bot
tom of a barrel so that the platform
will be about 4 inches above the water
Pour into the barrel boiling water IN
til it comes within about an inch OF the
platform. Lay the goose on the plat

OATS SUPERIOR FOR HORSES
Most Satisfactory Single Grain Ra-
tion-Musty Oats Are Dangerous
Feed Roughage.

In comparison with any of the grain
ratiOns, oats are the best single grain
ration for both mature horses and
colts and for mules. There is no other
grain so safe TO feed and from which
such satisfactory results are OBJ
tanned. The live stock experts of
Clemson college advise, however, that
it is absolutely necessary that oats be
clean and entirely free from mold in
order to obtain best results in feed
ing to colts. ''Musty" oats are dam
gerous to colts.
A fair allowance of oats for colts
after weaving is as follows.
Up TO one year of age, from . to
pounds daily.
From one to three years, Z to 8
pounds daily.
The best way to feed oats is in the
whole grain, the expense of crushing
not being justified unless colts suffer
in teething, in which case it is advis-
able TO feed steamed crushed oats,
which are very nOurishing and appe-
tizing. It is always wise to feed
plenty of roughage to growing colts.
Feeding concentrated feeds in excess
is discouraged, as it is important
that the digestive tract be developed
by distending it during the growing
period. Ungainly, large-barreled colts
may annoy the feeder, but this con-
ditiOn always disappears with ma
turity.
Proper feeding of colts should al
ways be accompanied by plenty of
outdoor exercise for the young am
NAL. In no way can a colt be ruined
so easily and surely as by liberal feed
ing with lack of exercise. Close con-
! fnement and the raising of good colts
do not go together.

TONIC FOR POULTRY
5eets, SiIage and Alfalfa Produce Sat
isfactory Resuits-Cabbaee Also
Is Excellent

Succulent feed should be given to
chickens in winter, because OF its val
ne as a tonic, asserts r. NJ. Sherwood,
acting head of the department of poul-
try husbandry in the Kansas state ag-
ricultural college.
'BeetS, silage, and alfalfa may be
obtained on most FARMS" said Mr..
Sherwood. Alfalfa leaves soaked in
sour milk are of great value. The
milk sOftens the leaves, and also fur
niSheS valuable food nutrients. 1t is
well for the farmer to plant winter
wheat or rye near his chicken house"
Cabbage is excellent as a green feed,
in the opinion of Mr.. Sherwood. Some
persons feed turnipS, potatoes, and
even apples. Sprouted oats are often
used for succulence, but it is not de-
sirable that the sprouting be done in
the house because of the offensive
OdOr given off. This necesSitateS the
use of a special sprouter with heater,
and adds materially to the cost of the
feed.

.MasurIan Lakes

The Masurian lake region lies In
Masurenland. a gently rolling region
Of East Prussia marked by hundreds
Of lakes of various sizes connected by
channels and a canal system more
than 100 miles long. Roughly, the
area of the district is covered by the
circles of Sensburg, Oletzka, Osterode,
Allenstein. Roessel, Ortelsburg, Lyck
(capitaD, Loetzen and Neidenburg.
The lakes are of different shapes,
some being rounded and others basins,
with numerous radiating branches
others are long, narrow channels Wild
ening into pools at intervals ike beads

Spirding, cover 40 square miles. The
lakes form a very effective barrier for
Germany against Russia, as was evil
denced several times during the early
part of the war, when the Russian
armies were trapped there or forced

the bird may be drawn out and sus
pended at a convenient height for pick
ing. Have large bag or barrel near
into which the feathers may be placed
as they are picked. Care must be ia
ken that the feathers are not soiled by
blood or dirt as they will lose their
value.
After the bird is thoroughly cleaned,
dip in cold water and allow it to re-
main two or three minutes. Leave
feathers On about half the neck next
to the head and also on the wings
above the first joint. Geese should be
marketed with the heads on and IN
drawn. Do not lay one bird upon an
other when picked but wrap each in
a clean cloth or paper, place it on its
back and allow it to cool in that form.
Never hang a bird up by the feet or
head to cool as this destroys their
plump appearance.

It has always been recognized that
the most effective aid one can get is
that which enables him to help him
self.
Some critics of the federal farm loan
act have charged that this act makes
it too easy for farmers to get into
debt, and that there Will be a tendency
10 'OVerborroW.
A careful reading OF the bill will
show that this objection is met by very
carefully limiting the use to which the
borrowed money may be put and by
the requirement that farmers gradual
~ each year must reduce their in
debtedness.
The farm loan act was designed to
be helpful to the farmer of average
operations who has heretofore been
denied adequate credit. 1t wisely lin
its the loans to 80 per cent OF the
appraised value Of the security, be-
cause this limitation makes the Sc
curity of a high character, thus salts
flying the investor, and therefore re-
suits in a lower rate Of interest.
The use of the money is carefully
limited TO the purchase of land, to pay
of existing Indebtedness, to purchase
live stock, or to make any productive
Improvement such as fencing, drain
age, buildings and machinery.
is Really an Investment.
When money can be borrowed cheap
~ for productive use, a mortgage be-
comes an investment rather than a
handicap. The farmer is enabled to
get money to put his land to better
use, so that the profits of his invest
ment will pay OF his Indebtedness.
Hereafter judicious borrowing on the
part of the farmer will be regarded
as business enterprise, just as it is
now considered beneficial for large
commercial institutions to borrow.
The farm loan act creates a form of
indebtedness which peculiarly fits the
farmers needs. 1t recognizes that the
farming. business is one of slow re-
turns.
So, it provides that mortgage made
under the act be paid on the amortiza-
! ton or installation plan through q long
or short period of years. The mort
cages may be made to run from five
to forty years, at the option of the Dor
rover, and they must be paid OF, in
terest and principal, in equal INSTALL
ments through the period of the loans.
Permission is given to pay all of the
loan or any part of it on any interest
paying date after it has run five years.

What Is Uric o4cid ?

Everyone has uric acid in the system,
but naturally in small quantities. Ex-
cessive amount is caused by eating too
much meat and foods that ferment IN
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
of the blood, are supposed to separate
and throw the poisons out of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked kidneys
fail to do this, hence the uric acid accu-
mulates and the urate salts are carried
by the blood to the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, dropsy, drowsiness, and tired
feeling.
To overcome the trouble is Only q
matter of toning up the kidneys. and this
Is best done by treatment with Anurics
three times q day. Anuric Is recent
