CURE YOUR KIDNEYS
Why will people continue to sulfur the

help they need to perform their work.
II you have any, even one, of ihe
ymptoma of kidney diseases, cure your
eelf now, before diabetes, dropt-y or
Bri(?ht'g disease sets in.
Mrs. L. Hodson, of 717 Aura St.,
Pendleton, Ore., says: " juHt as en
thusiastically endorse Doan'a Kidney
Pills today as I did nearly three years
ago. Thev relieved tneof kidney trouble
which had bothered me for a consider
able time. There was aching pains
across the email of my back and down
through my kidneys, which were aufjr.'i
vated by colds which settled in the back
and loins and caused an awful lameness
This was my condition when I began
taking Doan'a Kidney 1'illa. This rem
edy banished the backache and pains
through the loins, regulated the kidney
secretions and removed every symptom
of the trouble, From that day to this
there has been no recurrence, and I give
Doan'a Kidney i'ills all the credit. 1

AN INSTANCE.
Lucy Suddrcth, of Lenoir, N. C, had been troubled with
very bad cou;;h for over a year. She says : " A friend
bought a little of Chamiikri.ain's Coit.h Rkmudy,
brought it to me and insisted that I should take it. I did
so and to my imrprtse it helped aie. Four bottles of it
cured me of my cough."
Glirrpsea of Farm Shepherding In New
England.
My florii of sheep, which usually
numbers 100 to l.'O, is left lu the pas

My experience is that sheep do better

It CO degrees above-yes, I think they
like It better. I only feed them twice

Although a hardy race In their na

come very sensitive when transplanted
to more favorable surroundings. lu
the midst of luxurious summer pas
turage they lead a life of enervating

proper food. Hut even under such con
ditions the experiment Is n doubtful
one, according to a writer in Rural
New Yorker, which pictures n hillside
shelter In use In New Hampshlie.
A great majority of flockmasters pre
fer to house their sheep In the white
In roomy and comfortable barns.
Throughout the bracing nuttmin days
the sheep are turned Into the sunniest
pastures until the final coming of win
ter. Little harm Is done to the vege
tation by (he first light snow, which
may fall In November, and the active
sheep soon push It aside to nibble
eagerly at the grass below. It Is rare

permanent shelter of the sheep barn Is
sought.
Viewing Horse.
When going to look at a horse offered
for sale It Is well to keep your eyes
open for signs that will Indicate his
disposition and other practical quali
ties. Thus battered places ou the posts
or sides of tho stall may suggest a
kicker, says a writer lu American Cul
tlvator. Torn or gnawed blankets hint
that the horse has vicious habits in
this direction and possibly bad diges
tion, as unnatural habits of eating
usually Indicate something wrong with
the digestive apparatus. If the horse
falls to stand squarely on both fore
feet one of the feet may be tender or
defective. When the horse Is moved
out of the stall his gait may Indicate
the condition of his legs and feet. In
putting on the harness something may
te Judged from the way ho takes the
bit, bridle and crupper. The feet should
be examined with especial care. Hoofs
should be plump and well rounded, not
pinched at the heel, not too flat. Heels
should bo high and strong without
spring. Silky hair on the feet and legs
Indicates strong, flinty bone, but coarse

We a Lambs From the Range Late, but
Husky Little Feeders.
"What about those little lambs; they
look cheap to me?" remarked the
Michigan feeder to his commission
man. "Nobody wants them." was the
reply, "and unless yon know how to
handle them I would advise you to
buy something else. But they are
money makers for the man who can
take care of them. All you have to do
to to avoid overfeeding and give them
proper care. Too many make the mis
take in putting light western lambs on
feed of crowding them under the im
pression that they have been starved,
whereas they come from a range
where lambs are dropped lute and
have not had time to grow."
It is suggestive of the short feeding
furore among both cattle and sheep
finishers that demand centers on stock
carrying flesh that can be sent back
to market within two or three months
at the most. The stocker proposition
appeals to few, and opportunities for
quick action are feverishly sought.
While fifty-five to sixty pound feeding
lambs have been in keen request
around 7 cents, "peewee" stuff has
found few bidders at 5',i to G cents.
At this season North Dakota furnishes
a lot of these little lambs, aud as kill
ers cauuot use them they have but one
outlet. This year the spread between
them aud heavy Iambs Is unusually
wide, apparently affording the feeder
a profitable opportunity to handle the
light kind. "Sixty cent corn is the
factor," said a trader. "Everybody is
afraid of stock that has to be fed any
considerable time."
Little husky western feeding lambs,
well handled through the winter,
sheared In the spring and sent to mar
ket fat at a time when big feed lots
have been depleted aud springers have
not yet made their appearance, wil
make money this winter If the crop
on feed Is as short as generally be
lieved. concludes the Breeder's Ga
zette, Chicago.
Special For Swine Men.
The Idea of specialization is growing,
creeping up over the horizon like
storm cloud from the west, at first a
small, insignificant patch, but growing
and gathering force as it comes on.
The swine man seems to be the last
one caught In the swirl.
Corn, King Corn, Is pre-eminently the
finishing food for swine and Is not
a good food for the breeding herd only
In limited amount. The corn belt is
surrounded by unparalleled breeding
ground for swine. Here Is a great op
portunlty for specialists. Let the man
with his clovers and vetches and
peas and rye breed and grow pigs to
weaning time or a little longer and
then send them to the great corn belt
for finishing.
Tho great capacious maw of the mid
dle states can swallow up au unlimited
amount of shoats weighing from fifty
to a hundred pounds. The cattle feed
ers and corn growers are always hun
gry for them.
There nre some very successful men
who grow their pigs till they bring $5
per head; theu they go to the big cat
tle feeders. It is surprising how small
a pig these feeders will take at $3 If
they can get n bunch together, says a
writer in National Swine Magazine.
Some Cheap Cows.
The Live Stock World says in re
porting a recent Iowa Shorthorn sale:
"Lone Birch Daisy, a large roan
cow, with a first class heifer calf at
foot, at $85, was about the cheapest
thing sold. She Is said to give a ten
quart pailful of milk night nnd morn
ing." Wonder why Daisy weut so
cheap? Simply because she was not
"pure Scotch." Several others not
Scotch sold for even less.
The day will come when these good,
big, heavy milking Shorthorn cows
will be wanted again, and we advise
any young farmer to pick them up
when they go at such prices. They
will make money for him right from
the start and keep ou making it. Nev
er mind about the Scotch part of It

time. National Stockman.

THE FARMER'S SHEEP.
Why Fall Lambs Mean Satisfaction to
a Sheep Grower.
urignton is the great live stock
market of the New England states. A
Country Gentleman correspondent
says: ine next few years will see
more native lambs In Brighton than
ever before in its history. Do not let
me opportunity escape you. If you do
not grasp it others will." In the same
Journal W. G. Appleby of the Fillmore
farms, Vermont, gives the following ns
In brief a few of the reasons why he
considers Dorsets the most profitable
oreea or sueep a farmer can keep:
ine ewes drop their lambs in the fall
wheu they are In better condition thnn
they would be In the spring unless
they have been highly fed during the
winter, and when the lambs
ed they can be kept very cheaply until
spring. They should be fed some grain
again, however, for a little while be
fore mating with the ram.
Dorset lambs that are bom in ta
fall and early winter bring double the
price that other lambs four to five
months old born In the sprinir wmii.i
do. " "
Fall la mls that are kept for breeders
j are sheared lu the spring, when they
j will shear between four aud five
j pounds of wool. This goes a long wty
: to pay for their winter's keep,
j Early lambs are loss liable to Infec
tion by Internal parasites than lambs
boru In the spring. In fact, by proper
management Dorset lambs can be kept
practically free from stomach worms,
perhaps the greatest drawback to uo
fessful sheep breeding.

omraendations,
The cows should be kept at all times

rri, ,-a should be groomed daily,
and manure, mud or other filth should
not be allowed to remain upon their
flnnts sides, udders or bellies during
i n j 1 1; i n rr.
The clipping of long hairs from the
udder and the right side of the cow Is
of assistance in preventing the collec
tion of filth which may drop into the
mill.-.
The tails should be cut so that the
brush should be well above the ground
In winter the tail may be clipped.
The cows should be bedded with
sawdust, shavings, dried leaves, straw
or some eaually clean material
The use of horse manure for bedding
is to be condemned
To prevent the cows from lying
down and getting dirty between clean
ing and milking a throatlatch of rope
or chain should be fastened across the
stanchions under the cow's neck
The milkers should be clean.
Their hands should be thoroughly
washed with soap and water and care
fully dried on clean towels before
milking.
Clean overalls and Jumpers should
be worn during the milking of the
cows, should be used for no other pur
pose and when not in use should be
kept in a clean place, protected from
dust.
The hands and teats should be kept
dry during milking.
The practice of moistening the hands
with milk is to be condemned.
The first few streams from each teat
should be rejected, as these contain
more bacteria than the rest of the
milk.
All milk drawn from the cows thir
ty days before and ten days after calv
ing should be rejected and also all milk
from diseased cows.
The pail In which the milk Is drawn
should have as small an opening at the
top as can be used in milking. This
renders collection of dust less likely.
The milking should be done rapidly
and quietly, and the cows should he
treated kindly.
Dry fodder should not be fed to the
cows during or just before milking, as
dust therefrom will fall into the milk.
The milk should be removed as soon
as drawn to the milk house and strain
ed and cooled to the proper tempera
ture at once.
If aerators are used they should
stand where the air Is free from dust
or odor, and on no account should
they be used in a stable.
Feeding Cut Bone.
Cut fresh bone and meat are better
than beef scraps If both meat and
bone are really fresh. If they have
turned green and evidence the begin
ning of going bad, bury them deep.
Do not feed tainted meat or bone. Do
not feed cut fresh bone to chicks that
are very young, not until they are, say,
six weeks old. Trim off a little of the
raw beef, chop that and feed to baby
chicks, a little at first aud lnereaslnor
s they get older.

Steam Heat For Paraffin Pan.
With the device here sketched it Is
a simple matter to paraffin butter tubs
where steam is at hand, as In cream
eries. A writer in the Dairy Record
explains the construction as follows:
Take two heavy tin pans, not quite as
large around as the old style common
milk pan, and set one inside the other,
soldering the space between the rims
so as to leave the bottom of the two
pans about a half Inch apart. The
i
Ms
PAN FOB MELTING PARAFFIN.
solder should be applied between the
two rims so as to make this space air
tight, and the only outlet is formed
by a stopcock, which is soldered into
the lower tin pan Just below the rim.
By opening this stopcock a circulation
Is created, allowing exhausted steam
to escape. The bottom of the lower
pan has a pipe nipple soldered into It,
to which a rubber hose from the steam
pipe may be attached, thus forming au
Inlet for the heated steam which is to
melt the paraffin in the pan. To make
a holder for the pans attach a shelf to
the wall where It will be handy and
saw a hole through one end of the
shelf In which to set the melting out
fit. In turning on steam be careful
not to make the pressure too great, as
It Is liable to burst the pans apart.
