Upon a door I saw an open sign,

A wiser thing I never saw—
Nor Median not Persian law

Than this. Vona verbage divorced

"Ptt:,h -don't knock."
'Twee slimily meant to guide lite hand
01 those who wished to sit or stand
Within the unassuming door;
This weight of ceremony that bore
'Twas never meant to teach nor preach,
But just to place in easy reach
The ear of him who dealt in stock --
"Push -don't knock."
But what a guide for life was that -
Strong phlosophical and pat;

Willie cruising o'er life's restless sea;

Don't knock -avoid the hammer crew;

When on that door I see the sign,
I say: "Great motto, you ate mine!"

Tells why a corn is so painful and says
cutting makes them grow
Press an electric button and you form
a contact with a live wire which rings the
bell. When shoes press against your corn
it pushes its sharp roots down upon a sen-
sitive nerve and youget a shock of pain.
Instead of trimming your corns, which
only make thein grow, lust step into any
drug store and ask for a quarter of an
ounce of freezone. This will cost very
little but is sufficient to remove every haid
or soft corn or callus from one's feet, A
few drops applied directly upon a tender
aching corn stops the soreness instantly,
and soon the corn shrivel;; up so it lifts
right out, tootand all, without pain. This

IILItr Is not the least doubt
that
that Western Canada is steadily
a building a reputation as a wool -
!producing country. The opportunities
it affords for the profitable breeding
and rearing of sheep are unsurpassed
:in any part of the world. An abun-
dance of suitable food of all kinds is
.available ad over the country, while
;climatic and other conditions are ex•
ceedingly favorable. Almost any line
of sheep husbandry may be followed
successfully in the Prairie Provinces
of Canada. On the range sheep
breeding and rearing is an extremely
Profitable industry, especially In those
distriets where eonditiote are not
wail suited to ordinary agriculture.
That the farmer is more and more
realising the value of a small flock of
sheep on his farm is shown by the In.
. creasing number of participants at
the co-operative wool sales each year.
Throughout the west this has been
noticed at praetleallly all the sales.
In seine cans,
notably
atCalgary,
Alberta, titer° has been a greater
psintber of participants, and less wool
pfferlug than last year, but this is
slue to tho fact that the lame
reed•
ers have been Induced to sell their
wool independently, so that prae 1
cally all the wool offered for sale
. 'came from uinall farmers, who aro

WINTER WHEAT
HINTS.
Early Plowing an Essential to
Crop Next Season.
Winter wheat succeeds best on corn
land. The beet crops have been ob-
tained in many localities where the
winter wheat has been sown with a
one horse drill about Sept. 1 between
the rows of standing corn. In north-
western Minnesota this method is re- '
garded as the best. Winter wheat may
also properly follow some eriely crop
such as barley, early oats or early po-
tatoes. It can follow wbeat or late
oats, provided they are off the land
early enough to permit plowing and
sowing in season.
Early plowing of stubble land is es•
sential to a good crop. It is important
that contact be established as soon as
possible between the furrow slice and
the soil beneath. To facilitate this,
disking the stubble previous to plow-
ing is advisable when time will allow.
After plowing the land should be disk-
ed and harrowed sufficiently to firm the
soil and to preserve the moisture. Such
treatment also helps to kill the weeds
and give good growing conditions. Dur-
ing a dry fall rolling or packing the
soil with a corrugated roller will help to
Insure germination and prompt growth.
After the rolling the land should
again be harrowed to leave it loose and
slightly ridged on the surface. In some
places winter wheat is sown with a
disk drill in standing wbeat or oat stub-
ble. The purpose of sowing it in this
way is to gain the protection of the
•rubble for the winter wheat. While
he stubble undoubtedly gives some pro-
tcctfon, this method cannot be generally
