from $20 to $30 worth of theso

reported to tho county ngont, and
wo succeeded, In putting an oud to

that samples of poultry romedlos

was selling n spray supposed to bo

which was guaranteed to taka caro

to bo added to tho brlnklng wnter,
and 10 pounds of tho powdor to bo

Thoso costs nt tho wholesalo

You can't beat a Camel, because you can't beat the

Camels so smooth, so fragrant and mellow-mild.

Tho valuo ot purebred llvo stock,
say specialists 'in tho United Stato
Department ot Agriculture, Is most
lotlceablo In those cases In which
tho capublllty of the animals Is
measured most directly. Among
farm animals tho beat Illustration
can be found in dairy cattlo, though
careful yearly testa ot milk and but
terfat production aro relatively
recent affairs. The enormous dif
ferences among dairy cows when
given the same opportunity have
been brought out clearly in a great
numbdr ot cases, aud these differ
ences are strongly Inherited through
.both tho sire and the dam. The
average production for purebreds
aud grades Is much above the aver
age ot all milk cows, which is about
4,000 pounds of milk and 180
pounds of butterfato annually.
