How's This Cincinnati authority says corns dry up and lift out with fingers. Ouch !?!?!! This kind of rough talk will lie heard less here In town if people troubled with corns will follow the simple advice of this Cincinnati authority, who claims that a few drops of a drug called freezone when applied to a tender, aching corn or hardened callous stops soreness at once, and soon the corn or callous dries up and lifts right off without pain. He says freezone dries Immediately and never inflames or even irritates the surrounding rkln. A small bottle of freezone will cost very little at any drug store, but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callous from one's ftet. Millions ot America's women will welcome this announce ment slnco the inauguration of the high heels. If your druggist doesn't have freezone tell him to order a small bottle for you. Adv. Youth.

No Floor Needed Where Drainage la Good Dropping Boards Should Be Cleaned Dally. 'Prepared by the United stales Depart ment of Agriculture.) When the soil Is well drained and consequently will remain dry no floor need be used In the poultry house, the ground itself serving us the floor. Often n slight dampness can be cor rected by filling up the floor several Inches above the outside ground with .sand, cinders, gravel, or dry dirt. Three or four Inches of the surface of ihe floor, anil of the run If a very small run Is used, should he removed and re ploeed with fresh dirt two or three times a year. If the ground is so wet or damp that this condition cannot be corrected by lining It Is best to provide a board Moor, ns this will help to keep the house dry, will allow easier clean ing and will promote the general health mid welfare of the hens. A house wiili a board Boor should be set on posts or blocks, so that it Is 5 to 12 Inches above the ground. When this space Is left the floor will not rot so quickly and ruts tire not so likely to Hike refuge under lint house. In order lo keep the flock in a clean .mil sanitary condition, dropping boards should be provided and roosts nbove them. This makes it easy to remove the droppings each morning and helps greatly to keep the house free from objectionable odors. A lit tle siiiul or ashes sprinkled on the dropping board after each cleaning will he found lo make the cleaning easier. The dropping boards and roosts should lie placed against the back wall.

The Ayrshire breed originated in the county of Ayr, In southwestern Scot land. In that region, which borders on the Irish Sea, the surface is rolling and has much rough woodland. Pas tures, therefore, are somewhat sparse and it Is necessary for animals to graze large areas In order to obtain sufficient feed. It Is only within the last hundred years that Ayrshlres have had a type well enough established to be entitled to the designation of breed. TTiis breed Is not well known In many sections of the United States New England, New York and Penn sylvania probably contain the largest number of Its representatives. There is a small distribution In the Middle Atlantic States, the Pacific Northwest and other scattered sections. The color of this breed varies from the medium red to very dark mahog any brown nnd white. The cattle DARK AND BEAUTIFUL Try Grandmother's Old Favorite Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaK ed or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which Is mussy and trouble some. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth s Sage and Sul phur Compound." You will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe Improved by the addition of other ingredients for about 50 cents. Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does It so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair dis appears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger, wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toil et requisite. It la not Intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of dis ease. Adv. -j n i tio 1 1 ' ' Hides, Pelts, IRy Wool & Mohair Wi nut ill rM km. Wrlk fat hint imbhiiiptn, T,i.

An Ayrshire Which Won World's Record for Milk Production. have long horns which turn outward,' then forward, then upward. Quick, brisk actions are characteristic of the animals which .seem nlways to huve an abundant store of energy, und to be exceptionally alert. Ayrshlres have a highly nervous disposition, which is useful both for production and self support. Probably none of the other dairy breeds can compare with the Ayrshlres In ability to obtain a liveli hood on scant pastures. Their ublllty as "rustlers" bus made them very use ful In sections where there Is much rough land in pasture, Cows of this breed average 1,000 pounds In weight, and hulls average nlimit 1,000. Another point of which breeders of the Ayrshire are very proud Is the uniform, square, level udder with long body attachment which Is common iiiiiong the cows. Milk from Ayrshire cows contains comparatively little color and has the fat In uniformly small globules which average smaller in size than for any other breed. The milk stands shipping well without churning, and in other respects It Is well adapted to the mar ket milk trude. For Ayrshlres the average of the 2, Wis cows that have completed year ly records for advanced registry is U,roT pounds of milk testing K.9.r per cent of butterfa-t, amounting to 377.51 pounds of fnt. Tin- ten highest milk producers of this breed range from 25,820 to 18,745 pounds or milk and the average of these ten highest pro ducers Is 2 1.. Vis. s pounds of milk.

INCREASED MILK PRODUCTION Supplies Food Material More Econom ically Than Meat or Eggs Efficient Dairy Cow. (Prepared by the United mates Depart ment of Agriculture.) Two fuels stand out prominently ns reasons for the Increased production nnd use of milk, The llrst Is that milk as purchased on the market usually supplies food material togeth er wiili the growth producing element! more economically than either meat or eggs. The second reason Is that the dairy cow is the most economical pro ducer of animal food. One great Inw of food conservation Is to turn Inedible feeds Into edible foods In the cheap est possible manner, The dairy cow will utilize coarse materials, Inedible by humans, such ns grass, cornstalks; hay. etc., and will turn them Into milk, which ts suitable for human food. Other farm animals also are convert ers of coarse roughage into edible foods, but are not so efficient as the dairy cow. COWS GIVEN FEED AND CARE P. N. U. No. 21, 1918 Dirty Fresh Eggs.

H., the farm tractor has been successfully used in making nnd prepairlng roads, doing away with horses. A 20-horse-power tractor, as shown In the picture, was used in conjunc tion with the regulation road machine for rounding off the surface of the road and cleaning out gutters. It wus found that the tractor not only easily does the work of six or eight horses, but better and in less time. Two men only are required as compared with four required with the former system. Besides, double the ground Is covered. When the trnctor is used with the road drag, one man, driving the trac tor, can round up and smooth as much state road in half a day as one man with a pair of horses in one day and a half. The tractor hauls four to six Efficient Aid In Road Repairing. cartloads of gravel in the same time that a two-horse team requires for one load.

RIGHT SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS It Should Include Everything From Expensive Concrete to Minor Dirt Wagon Ways. What we need nnd In time will have is a system of highways which will ramify from the largest cities to the doorway of the humblest citizen vil lager or fanner. Such a system of highways will include trunk lines with expensive concrete or brick surfaces for the very heavy traffic, Including trucks and automobiles. Less used but Important roads may be of waterbound macadam or gravel. Perhaps in cer tain regions where stone nnd gravel are not at hand oiled roads may prove most economical and practical. Minor wagon ways must remain of native soil, built and maintained with the road drag.

BENEFIT OF IMPROVED ROADS Make It Possible to Consolidate and Establish Graded Schools in Ru ral Districts. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) That Improved roads would benefit our country-school system there would seem to be no doubt. Good roads make II possible to consolidate or centralize lite schools nnd to establish graded schools In the rural districts. Such schools centrally located will accom modate all of the children within a radius, of four or five miles. In many communities having the advantage of Improved roads commodious buildings bnve been provided, more competent teachers employed, and modern facili ties for teaching supplied at a mini mum cost. EXPERIMENTS TO BE TRIED Temporary Improvement of Sand Roads to Be Made by Use of Straw, Hay or Wire Grass. For the first time an experiment In temporary Improvement of deep sand roads by use of 11 carpet of straw, hay. or wire grass, sprinkled with tar or bituminous produce, will be tried on Wisconsin highways In the vicinity of Ilia, Columbia county. It Is hoped to devise methods which will fit the road for travel at small expense, and it Is predicted that this straw carpet will last three years where traffic is not heavy, Other experiments In resur facing highways are to be tried on the Hnraboo-Kllbourn road. Thirty four hundred sections have been staked out, and treatment of each will be different. Road Posts In Ohio.
