LIFT YOUR COINS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or callus 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 few drops of 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 small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.--adv.

WIRE FENCES AND LIGHTNING
Dangers to Live Stock Increased Dur
ing Thunder Storms Unless Wires
Are Grounded"

Wire fences increase the dangers Of
live stock during thunder storms, un-
less the fences are carefully ground
ed" say specialists at University farm,
st. Paul. Such fences may he ground
ed by running No. or No. 10 gal
vanized iron wire from each strand Of
the fence into the ground. The wire
should be twisted two or three times
about each strand and should reach to
depth of four or five feet into the
ground. If the soil is particularly dry
the wire should be sunk much deeper.
1t should always reach down to moist
soil. A crowbar may be used in MAX
ing the holes. Projecting points above
the fence will help to relieve the cleo
trio tension and prevent the lightning
from striking. Field fences should be
grounded every 20 rbds, and fences
about barnyards and feed lots every
ten rods at least.

EXTEND THE TOMATO SEASON
Gather All Large Specimens Before
Vines Are Killed by Frost and
Put on Bed of Straw.

The tomato season may be exterd d.
ed several weeks by gathering all the
large tomatoes before the vines are
Killed by frost and putting them on a
ped OF dry straw. Put about ten bush
els in each heap, co~er with straw at
night and when weather is cold and
wet. The tomatoes will ripen gradu-
ally and will be nearly as good as
those ripened on the vines. If frost
threatens, pull up the vines with the
tomatoes on the vines and pile in the
tieh1. This is the method followed by
our truckers and market gardeners.
Where only few bushels are wanted,
pick the largest and finest tomatoes
and place them on a bed of straw in
the cold frame, cover with a six-inch
layer of straw. If rain threatens slide
on the sash, as they should not get
wet or they will rot.
Gather the ripe fruit for canning
or preserving and make catsup while
fruit is abundant. The small green
tomatoes may be sold for picking.

PONIES FOR CHILDREN
Business of Raising ShetIands
Has Grown important.
More Patient Than Horse and is Bet
ter Tempered-Essential That
Little Fellows Be Doclle and
Easily Handled.

The Shetland pony is always an OBJ
ject of interest, whether seen draw
ing shining cart in the city park or
bending beneath the cruel weight of
his heavy burden on the mountain
trails of his native country. If ne
were less hardy he could not endure
the severe labor he is made to perform
in his native land, for there he is pure
~ and simply burden bearer. Grain,
iron, furniture, coal, ore and merchan-
disc of all kinds are transported to
all parts of the islands on the backs
OF the tough little animals. Three hun
dred pounds is the usual load for each
pony, and long Zines of these laden
h-tle beasts wind in and out among
the hills of their native land.
The genuine Shetland pony, pro-
duced from the pure breeds of the
shetland and Orkney islands, has be-
come so popular and useful that the
business of raising ponies has grown
important. The business is not so
simple as it might appear at first
glance. In the first place, the progeni-
tors-sires and dams-are usually Sc.
lected in the Shetland islands. Occa-
sionally desirable breeds may be found
in the interior of some of the other
northern islands bordering Scotland.
but the majority are found in the Shet-
land Islands.
The Shetland pony is unlike the
horse in many respects other than that
of size. He is more patient, and as a
class is better tempered. Mute under
punishment, patient during severe Ia
Dor, constant as a dog in friendship,
combining marvellous intelligence with
a tractable spirit the Shetland pony is
of all animals the best servant, com
panion and friend for children. There
are grown persons who. so admire the
sturdy little ponies that they prefer a
cart and pair to the best trOtting
horse. They make up in strength and
endurance what they lack in size.
On farms where these ponies are
raised for the market, kindness is
practiced under all circumstances in
their training. This is very impor-
tant, because most of these animals in
this country at least, are sold for the
pleasure of young boys and girls and
it is essential that they be trained to
be dOcile and gentle. When the little
pony colt, which a man can take IN in
his arms and carry about, is strong
enough to run and play with its moth
er, little halter is put on it, and it
is taught to lead and start and stop
at the word. When it grows stronger,
but is not yet nearly full grown, a set
of harness is fitted upon it, smooth,
easy bit is slipped into its mouth, and
it is driven about with the lines. A
very gentle pressure of the bit on the

Another handle is inserted in the other

Later on it is hitched to little cart,
and trotted about until it becomes
thoroughly bride wise-that is, until
it becomes trained to turn about in

to the bit. 1t is taken close to putting
locomotives and alongside queer-loOk-

and ringing bells. Its actions under
all these conditions are carefully not
ed and recorded, and its special quail
hcations for particular purposes fully
ascertained.
The trainer knows the natural pro-
pensities and acquired qualifications
of every pony about the farm fully
as well as the teacher knows those
traits in a pupil, and all those things
go to make up pony's record.

SAYS ALL CHILDREN DO IT
University President Startles Hearers
by Declaring Youths Like to
"Take" Things.

DR.. G. Stanley Hall, president of
Clark university, speaking on "Relig-
Ion and Education" the other day,
tossed off a number of opinions that
rather startled some of his hearers.
Say, damn once in a while if the
occasion demands" Doctor Hall ad-
Vised, and when the gasping had sub
sided he gave it as his belief
that slapping children was a good
practice if the slappings were admin
iStered vigorously and mot more in
sorrow than in anger.
BE very kind about stealing" said
the wise doctor, ''for all children
do it."
That appears to be pretty broad
assertion, says the Dayton News.
Perhaps the doctor IS right, but let
Us hope that he has overstated the
case. In justice to him it must be
added that he qualified his assertion
concerning the thievish propensities Of
children by saying:
Possibly there is not a person here,
man at least, who has not stolen
apples, turnips or watermelons. If
they had been caught in the city they
would have been branded as Grim
lRals."
We can understand the doctors con-
customs concerning apples and water
melons, but why should any boy want
70 steal turnips? AS well accuse all
Ooys of prefering work to play. No,
we refuse to believe that Doctor Hall
was not too generous in his accusation.

INJURED CORN FOR THE SIL0
Where Crop Has Been Damaged by
Drought 1t Should Be Cut and
Stored for Feeding.

When corn is injured by the
drought it should be allowed to stand
as long as there is any hope at all Of
its getting rain to complete its growth.
If it begins to die it should be put
in the silo, as this means what feed
value it contains will be saved. If it
cannot be put into the silo just then
it may be shocked and put in later,
as tests have shown that shock corn
makes good silage.
OF course it is not as good as that
made at the usual time.

DRAINAGE is OF IMPORTANCE
Fruit Trees, Plants, Shrubs and Vines
viii Not Thrive in Wet Soil
Keep Outlets Open.

Fruit farm drainage is even more
important than draining for farm
crops, as fruit plants, shrubs, vines
end trees win not thrive in wet soil.
The outlets of tile drains need look
ing after several times each year to
see that they do Lot get clogged.
Sometimes the outlet tile, being ex-
posed to winter frostss crumbles caus-
ing a stoppage of the outlet.
