KEEP YOUR BREEDING STOCK
Because Of Increased Demand and
High Prices for Feed Hens, Sows
and Cows Are Sold.

Don't sell of your breeding stock be-
cause Of high prices Of feed and the
demand for live stock. Large num-
bers Of hens, brood sows and milch
cows are being sold. Already there
is scarcity of poultry in the country,
and In some dairy sections there has
been marked decrease In the number
Of milch cows.
There are two sides to this business.
Milk dealers and contractors In their
effort to hold trade and placate their
customers have refused to pay farmers
price for milk which would leave
them a profit. As consequence,
many farmers have found that their
cows are worth more dead than alive.
They have been forced to sell the cows
because they could not continue in the
business which was running them
deeper in debt each month.
Advancing prices for meat, milk,
dairy and poultry products will bring
profit over the high cost of feed and
labor, and the farmer who has kept a
good stock Of breeding animals is
pretty sure to receive handsome re-
turns.

KILL PLANT LICE OR APHIDs
Application Of Soap Solution VIII
Provo EffioIent--Must Hit
Insect With Force.

Plant lice or aphids can be killed
on golden glow, sweet peas, rose,
buckthorn, plums or any plant by .ap-
plications Of soap solution. This is
perfectly safe to use, and leaves no
bad odor, and few applications ap-
parently are sufficient to rid plant of
Its unpleasant parasite.
Dissolve 5-cent cake of white soap
in five or six gallons Of hot water, and
apply forcibly with spray-pump when
lukewarm. The insects must be hit
with force. Occasionally bending over
the twigs and immerslng the affected
leaves, shaking them back and forth
in the liquid, is more effective than
spraying. Directing a stream of wa
ter from garden hose against plant
lice colonies Is of some help, If the
water strikes them with force.

Rlohes In Tennessee Caves.

The development of two historic
caves, known as Arch cave and Bone
cave In Van Buren county, Tennessee,
Is now under way. The caves are esti-
mated to contain from $4,000 to TO-
900 tons of bat guano, which Is rich
In potash and ammonia, besides other
elements of plant food. The UNDER
ground area is about six miles. MIL
lions of bats inhabited these caves for
centuries prior to the Civil war, when
they were driven out by the manufac-
turers of powder, It Is told that when
Gen. John II. Morgan's detachment
which raided Nashville during the
Civil war became separated and was
hard pressed by superior federal forces
they concealed themselves In the Arch
cave for several days.

HORSES MUST "D0 THEIR BIT"
Only Those Used Exclusively for Trade
and Business Purposes to Get
Grain In England.

Illustrative of the radical steps now
being taken to conserve grain in Eng
land Is an official explanation Of the
order rationing horses, received at the
Office or Herbert Hoover, Uncle Sans
food administrator. The horses of
King George are now being rationed
under the terms of the order.
The object Of rationing is officially
explained as means to increase the
quantity of oats available for human
consumption by restricting their use as
a feed for horses.
BY the terms of the order, the feed
ing of grain to horses kept for private
purposes Is prohibited. and its use is
confined to horses used exclusively for
trade and business purposes.
Under existing circumstances no
person is justified in keeping any
horse that Is beyond serviceable age.
It Is pointed out that even In ths case
Of trade horses. the feeding Of any
kind OF grain is not necessity where
the work done Is slow and not Of an
arduous character. Heavy penalties
are provided for violations Of the act.

LABOR IS LIMITING FACTOR
Horses Are Relatively Plentiful In
Comparison and Use OF More
ls Strongly Used.

Labor Is the limiting factor in crop
production this year. Horses are rela-
lively plentiful In comparison. 0. h.
johnson Of the department Of farm
management of the Missouri College
Of Agriculture, suggests that farmers
lay aside one-man and two-horse tools
and use those that require more
horses so that more work per man
can be done. One man with three
horses to 16-inch breaking plow Will
turn over three acres or less In day.
The same man with gang plow con-
sisting Of two 12-inch bottoms will
average Ak acres day and will use
one more horse. This means that by
increasing the horse stock one-third,
one man can increase his efficiency In
breaking ground nearly rs per cent.
Investigations have actually shown
that man on riding implement will
do more work in a day than the same

SAYS CORNS LIFT
RIGHT OUT NOW

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because
few drops of freezone applied directly
on a tender, aching corn or callus,

corn OF hardened callus locsens 80 1t
can be lifted out, root and all, with
out pain.
A small bottle Of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but Will
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as 1t is inexpensive and is said not
to irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone

Cedric Shaw was intently watching

the swaying dancers In the hotel ball
room came between him and her; but
always his gaze went back persistently
to the bright animated face Of young
woman who stood talking with an elder

the pretty dancing gown, which unlike
the others covered her back, and came
above the shoulders all around in be-

operation which limits the amount of

consequently more acres can be

WHEN TO CUT SWEET CLOVER
Work Should Be Done When Plant 10
About Three Feet High, to Avoid
WoodIness In Stalks.

Sweet clover should be cut when it
is about two to three feet high, in
order to avoid woodiness in the
stalks. If the plants have begun to
stool out, cutting should not be de-
layed a day longer than necessary.
The crop should be cut from three
to four inches from the ground In
order to prevent injury to the plants.
As sweet clover hay cures more slow
ly than does alfalfa, care must be
taken In handling so as not to shatter
the leaves. The leaves are the most
valuable part of the hay.
