"Why, Doris, I am ashamed of you '." her mother exclaimed. "Why doa't you study harder and try to get away from the foot of the class?" "It isn't my fault," Doris replied in tones of injured innocence. "The lit tle girl who has always been at the foot has left school." ANY CORN LIFTS OUT, DOESN'T HURT A BIT! No foolishness! Lift your corns ! and calluses off with fingers j It's like magic! j Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or any kind of a corn, can harmlessly be lifted right out with the fingers if you apply upon the corn a few drops of freezone, says a Cincinnati authority. For little cost one can get a small bottle of freezone at any drug store, which will positively rid one's feet of every corn or callus without pain. This simple drug dries the moment it is applied and does not even irri tate tbe surrounding skin while ap plying it or afterwards. This announcement will interest cuany of our readers.

AVERAGE LABOR FOR HORSES Horse on Grain Farm Worics Three Hours a Day Different on Diver sified Crop Farm. On the grain farm the hea lest work for the horses comes in April, May, August, September and October. The rest of the time there Is practically nothing for the horses to do. But enough horses have to be kpt during the year to take care of the work dur ing these busy months. When aver aged up, the horse on the grain farm only works three hours a day. These figures were secured in an investiga tion by the Minnesota experiment sta tion, under the direction of Thomas Cooper, now director of the North Da kota experiment station. In this same investigation it was found that when the crops aie diversi fied, the horse labor is better dis tributed. There is less work for the horses in the seasons that are the busi est on the all grain farm, and there is work for the horses when there is no work for the horses on the all-grain farm. WINTER WORK FOR STALLION No Reason Why He should Not Be Worked Like Any Other Horse Give Reasonable Exercise. It is a mistake to Veep n stallion idle during the fall and winter. Though this is often done there is no reason why he should not be worked like any other horse. If this is not possible he should at least be given the opportunity of taking a reasonable amount of exercise. Also the feed should be about the same as that of other horses. Feed about one pound of good hay for every 100 pounds of weight and in addition to this, give enough grain. equ.il parts of corn, bran and oats, to keep the animal in good flesh, but not too fat. If this be done he will be more efficient during the breeding sea son than would be the case were he kept in breeding condition all through the year. DRINKING WATER FOR STOCK Automatic Device, Invented by Indiana Man, Insures Full Supply and Savts All Waste. An ingenious contrivance for use in watering troughs has been invented by an Indiana man. It consists of an automatic device for filling the trough as fast as the water is depleted by animals drinking it. The pipe through which the water is supplied is fitted with a spring valve. An angle-shaped arm is pivoted in the bottom of the tank near this pipe, with the lower end of the arm resting on the valve and the upper end ter minating in a wooden ball, which floats on the surface of the water. The principle of this appliance will be As Float Sinks Valve Opens. grasped at once. When the water is at a certain height in the trough the ball will float in such a position that the arm will keep the valve on the supply pipe closed. As the water is depleted by stock drinking the ball sinks with it and the arm on the valve rises, admitting fresh water. This device insures al ways a full supply of fresh water in the tank and saves the waste water that otherwise runs over when the I trough Is filled from a running source.

FARM FLOCK OF Hens that do not lay when eggs are selling at the present high prices and then take delight in trying to beat the record when their eggs are only worth lo or 20 cents a dozen, are like a good many other things that cannot be de pended on at the time of greatest need. However, the hens should not always receive the blame, because, in many instances, they do not receive the food products from which they can manu facture eggs. The extension division of Clemson college fins been recommending an egg mash containing one-third by weight of prime, bright cottonseed meal and the remaining two-thirds to consist of equal parts of cornmcal, wheat shorts and ground oats. This mash is a sat isfactory food to make eggs, and it is kept dry before the hens in a hopper or box constantly. Then a mixture of whole grains is scattered In litter twice daily to force the hens to exer cise. COTTON GRADE LOSSES Amounts to Millions of Dollars in Southern States. Producers Can Have Large Share in Improving Conditions Great and Inconsistent Variations in Prices Paid. i Prepared bv tlio Unitr-d Slates Depart ment of Agriculture.) The more or less general failure of cotton buyers and col ton producers to take grades into account in the pri mary sales of Ihe fiber probably results in lasses to the growers amounting to millions of dollars each year. Stud ies of market specialists of Ihe de partment in representative towns in Ihe nine principal cotton producing states of the South indicate that the losses probably totaled seven and a half million dollars in 1013-14 alone. Cotton producers themselves can have a large share in improving these conditions. The growers should fa miliarize themselves with grades and should insist that the proper classifi cation be given their bales by buyers. The economic Importance of securing proper girning. adequate baling and covering, the printer storage also should be recognized. Great Variations Found. Purveys conducted by ,the special ists have showed that there are great and insistent variations in prices paid for cotton of different grades. The average of prices on observed transac tions in Alabama for one month, for example. as i;t.rl cents for strict good ordinary and 13.47 cents for strict good middling, the latter being six grades better than the former. The higher grade of cotton thus sold for 'JO cents less per bale than that of the lower grade, when on the basis of New Orleans differences, it was actu ally worth S7.."0 per bale more. The inconsistencies and differences were especially apparent among the higher gntdes above mid.lllnc. This is most unfortunate since it shows a failure to recognize the value' of improvement of cotton varieties by growers and in effect puis a premium on careless and indifferent farming. Marked differences in the prices paid for cotton of the same grade in the same markets or. the same -day also were disclosed by lb" survey. Thus middling cotton of 1 1-K? inch staple 1n a certnin market brought 13 cents a pound, while middling of 1 's inch sta ple at the same place and on the same day brought only 10.0."! cents. The lat ter cotton should have brought one half cent more than that of the short er staple bale. Therefore, if the 1 1-10 inch bale brought Its true value, the other b.- 1 - sold for at least $17.."0 be low its real value. While all varia tions observed were not as great as this, wide differences were found In numerous instances in every state where investigations were conducted. Geogrrphical Price Variations. Inconsistencies in the valuation of tinged and stained cotton also were observed, the differences made in some cases between two bales of cotton of the same grade on the same market being greater thar the amount paid for the cheaper bale. The survey showed that for the some grades the prices paid were on Ihe whole considerably greater in the eastern cotton states than in those west of the Mississippi. These differ eneps. according to the specialists, were much greater than differences in freight rate- to mills alone would ac count for. He- other factors in favor 'f the East re believed to have been h direct purchase by mill buyers, the tlstence of good storage facilities, the satlabilitv of relatively chap money. DIFFERENT BREEDS. For those who cannot obtain the in-, "gredients to mix the above mash, it is possible to prescribe a simpler method of feeding hens for eggs that will give satisfactory results. Buy a few bush els of cowpeas. Make a mixture of 40 pounds whole or cracked cowpeas anil 00 pounds of whatever other whole grains you are now feeding. A formula we have used (but others are equally gool, provided the cowpeas are 40 poixnds) Is : Cowpeas, 40 pounds ; corn or cracked corn, 30 pounds ; cane seed, 20 pounds, and wheat. 10 pounds. Feed this mixture liberally twice daily In litter and do not give the hens any mash at all. You will need only ground oyster shells, broken plaster, or ground limestone to supply the lime for mak ing the shell. Keep the lime product in a box where the hens can eat it con stantly. And last, but not least, keep a bucket of fresh water before the layers, as eggs contain G") per cent of water. Clemson College Bulletin. and ihe more general knowledge of grading among farmers due to longer establishment of cotton-growing in the section. The investigators found that the produce ' received an appreciable ad vantage .n prices when he was able to make "round lot" sales of 10 or more bales of cotton at a time. It is sug gested that still greater advantages can be secured by selling where pos sible in lots of bales of the same grade. TO PREVENT TOOLS RUSTING Paste Made of Tallow or Lard Graphite Will Prove Efficacious Have Surface Dry. and No matter if tools are kept out of the wet, even the dampness of the air will cause them to rust. A paste mad'? of tallow or lard and graphite, with a little camphor gum will prevent rust when applied and afterwards rubbed dry. Mix two parts grease to one of graphite. Add about one-fourth as much camphor gum as there is of the graphite. Get the tools quite clean and dry. apply the paste ami allow it to remain l on all metal parts for 24 hours or , longer, then rub dry. Tools treated In this way will not rust for several months, though exposed to damp air. Treat in this way every two or three months, not only tools, but any steel or iron surface. REGULARITY IS RIGHT PLAN Farm Stock, Once Accustomed to Rou tine of Living, Show Unrest at Any Change in Program. Farm animals are creatures of habit, and once accustomed to a routine of living show unrest at any change. The feed stable or lot, therefore, should be free from disturbance, and the pro viding of feed and water should be uniform In time and manner. Animals soon learn when these are to occur, and as feeding time ap proaches the secretions begin pouring from the various digestive glands in anticipation of the coming meal. The system of feeding and watering ar.d the character of the rations should be changed gradually, and only for good cause. In feeding operations it changing period is usually a losing period. PEANUT IS PROFITABLE CROP Plant Will Thrive on Poor Land Un suitable for Cotton, and Will Improve the Soil. Southern planters have other rea sons fur being complacent besides the high price of cotton. A Texas paper says that peanuts have reached a bushel at some Texas markets, and everywhere are a dollar or better, and adds that peanuts that yield 40. ." and t0 bushels to the acre. are nut tn be sneezed' at, even by cotton pro ducers who are selling their cotton at .$Ko a bale, because the peanuts nut only thrive upon poorer land hardly suitable to otton. hut build up the soil as well. FRESH WATER FOR CHICKENS Permanganate of Potash Acts as Anti septic in Preventing Transmis sion of 'Disease. j Chickens need a constant supply of j fresh water. Running water is best, i but If this is not available keep the i water fresh. Add enough permanga ' nate of potash to make it a wine red. This KP.iount will act rp an antiseptic n preventing the transmission of dis ase through the water and will ale Iso in keeping down intestinal para ltes. MILK FROM THE FAMILY COW Animal Should Be Housed in Clean, Well-Lighted Shed and Provided With Yard for Exercise. The family cow should be a con stant source of cheap, pure and de licious milk, says Clemson agricul tural college of South Curolina. Such may be the case, if a few precautions are taken. It Is frequently observed, however, that under the conditions sur rounding the family cow only dirty, diseased milk can be produced. A cow may be suffering from tu berculosis, the worst disease to which she is subject, and still show no signs of it to the proud owner. For the sake of the children who drink this Fine Type of Jersey. milk, a qualified veterinarian should be called upon to inspect and test each cow every year. ' With the assurance of a healthy cow, she should be housed in a clean, well lighted shed and provided with a clean yard in which to exercise. The milk should be drawn into a clean, small topped milk pail , and kept cool until consumed. Milk sours and spoils because of j the bacteria which enter it with tlirt from the cow and from pails not thoroughly washed. Keeping these bacteria out of the milk aud preventing their growth by keeping the milk cool, are easy and elhcieut menus of procuring the best of milk from the family co, provided she is free from disease. COWS FOR MACHINE MILKING Farmers Should Study Herd From Standpoint of Fitness Avoid Defective Udders. ( By PHOF. C. LARS EN, South Dakota State College.) Dairy farmers who wish to use milk ing machines should study their he?d from the standpoint of fitness for a milking machine. The reason why some then are successful with milking machines aud others are not can be traced in part to the difference in cows. When the milking machine is in stalled the owner will have better suc cess if he will cull out the cows that do not readily and completely give down their milk, cows with uneven ud der and placement of teats and cows with very fleshy teats. Some herds may not contain any defective cows, some may contain one or two and some herds may contain several. Cows with such defective udders and teats should never be used as founda tion cows. The heifer calves from the cows that milk easily by machine should be selected. It is especially im portant to select a herd bull that comes from ancestors that have well-formed mammary organs, and better still to select a proved herd bull that Is known to produce daughters of large, symmet rical and well-placed teats of good quality. SUITABLE PLACE FOR COWS Stalls Should Be Provided for Each Animal Plenty of Ventilation Is Recommended. To give best results milch cows should be provided with suitable quar ters for feeding and milking. Stalls should be provided for each cow and feed boxes and manger racks should be so arranged tmit they will be of easy access for cleaning at least once every day. Tweaty-five dollars, plus the labor, should fit any ordinary barn with stalls for five cows and the neces sary feed boxes, mangers, and gutters. Plenty of ventilation Is necessary, be cause the cow is somewhat like the human being, she thrives best where there is plenty of fresh air available. Provision should be made to take care of the manure. This can be done by providing plenty of bedding in box stalls, or, if stanchions are used, by having water-tight gutters about 14 inches wide and 10 inches deep run ning full length of the stable. RELIEVE SCOURS IN CALVES First Thing Is to Remove Cause, Then Give Limewater, Says. Expert of North Dakota. To relieve scours in calves, W. H. Peters of the North Dakota station gives the following remedy: The first thing is to remove the cause and then give them limewater in the milk. Two tablespoonfuls twice a day for a calf two months old and for larger calves half a cupful. Make the limewater by putting a handful of lime into a pail of water. When It has slacked and settled pour ?f the clear portion and bottle it for uure use.

Mr. Yoshlda, who was selected by the Japanese government, to investi gate commercial conditions in Man churia, lias made a report giving de tails of the trade. About one month Is required to transport goods from Osaka to Harbin, even by passenger train. The 'principal Japanese prod ucts that are sent from Harbin to Eu ropean Russia are hosiery, underwear, shoe soles, cotton textiles, medicines. Isinglass and Insulated electric wire. Since the middle of August an import tax has been assessed upon hosiery and underwear by the Russian Man churlan customs.
