THE MOST PROFITABLE SHEEP.

Tho Results Of Tests Of Eight Standard
Breeds In Iowa-An Old English Trial.
A writer in the Country Gentleman
very pertinently says that "Pro-
vided the dogs and the politicians will
let the sheep alone, or be compelled to
keep their mouths off, there is chance
to make money at sheep raising"
And then he. raises the question, for
the purpose of answering it, as to
"what is the best breed for the major
ity?' His reply is an interesting tab
ulated compilation and arrangement
of the results of the tests made 9 few
wears ago at the Iowa Agriculturl Ex-
pertinent station, which Is one OF the
largest and most scientific in the coun-
trv. There were two trials. In the
first trial there were ten lambs in each
lot including ten breeds, the test last
ing ninety days. In the second trial
there were ten lots of nine lambs each
and the feeding lasted los days. Eight
breeds were represented In both tests,
viz. Cotswold, Lincoln, Leicester, Dor
4 {. Shropshire, Oxford, Southdown
aud Suffolk. The average age and the
average weight OF the lambs of each
breed were taken at the beginning ana
at the end of each trial, and daily
record was kept Of the increase OF
weight, which was averaged aC the
conclusion of the tests, and close rec
ord was also kept Of the amount ana
value OF the feed fed to each lot. The
results were most favorable to the
Cotswold breed, closely followed by the
lincoln and Leicester. The Oxfords
were only very slightly behind in live
weight or dressed weight value, but the
value OF their wool averaged twenty
Ave cents per head less than the Lei
ceaters. thirty-eight cents less than the
Tincolns and thirtytwo cents under the
Cotswolds. After the Oxfords, the
other breeds represented In the tests
rnnked in the following order: Suffolk
GhrOpehire. Dorset and SOuthdown. a
similar trial was made In England
nearly fifty years ago In which four
Thoroughbred races and several ware
ties Of grades were represented and the
results then showed the Cotswold 70 De

Parsnip Complexion.

It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallOw
parsnip-colOred complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask If you had
rheumatism, dull pain or ache In the
back or over the hips, tOmach trouble,
desire to urinate often, or burning. or
scalding In passing it; II after passing
there IL an unsatisfied feeling - lift must
be at once repeated, or the urine has
brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost In removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh Of the
bladder. inflammation, causing stOppage,
and sometimes requiring tho drawing OF
the urine with instruments, or may run
into Bright's Disease, the most dangerous
stage Of kidney trouble.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad-
der specialist, is q positive remedy for
such disease. Its reputation is world
wide and it is SO easy to get at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.
