The Eminent Kidney
and Bladder Specialist.

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease. pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result Of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed TO adj
vance the kidney poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form Of kidney trouble.
Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the new dis
covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder
and urinary troubles. Ithas cured thousands
of apparently hopeless cases, after all other
efforts have failed. At druggists in fifty-cent
and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free
by mail, also book telling about Swamp
Root and its wonderful cures. Address

BACK TO SHEEP.
Old Farmers Say There Is No Good
Farming without Them.

Old Farmers Say There Is No Good
Farming without Them.
Many of us old farmers have come
back to sheep after giving them up for
a few years, convinced then that there
was no money in them, but sure now
that there is really no good farming
without sheep.
l do not mean that we have given up
other branches of farming to become
sheepmen, but have gradually added a
few more sheep to the flock each year
until now most farmers are shepherds
of pretty fair Importance.
There is no animal better suited to
the general farmers purposes than the
sheep. Our early settlers raised few
sheep for their wool so that the home
spinning could be carried On by the
housewife during the long winter
months. Sheep then were considered
absolutely necessary, and few ever
thought Of getting along without the
flock.
1t was after the home spinning went
out OF fashion and costly machinery
was erected to do all this work for the
farmer that sheep raising as profess
sion started in. Then a good many of
us gave up nearly all other branches of
farming and tried to get rich in raising
wool. The 1ocks steadily increased in
numbers and size, and of course the
whole business was overdcne. There
came time when there was a surplus
of sheep and wool, and mai Z lost mon
ey. The reaction which followed set
many against sheep, and there are
some who cannot be induced to own a
flock because of their i'll luck.
Nevertheless feel convinced that we
are all coming back to the sheep not on
a large scale, but as q necessary part Of
all good farming, writes an Illinois
farmer in American Cultivator.

Her Version of II.

a young girl in class preparing for
admission into the church was asked
by the pastor how she ought to obey
the fifth commandment to honor her
father and mother. She answered
promptly. Il ought to take them out
for walks on Sundays. and ought not
to let them see how much more know
than they do" She expressed an opin-
ion probably quite current among
young people concerning the prepon-
derance of knowledge in the rising gem

The One That Charges Least For Her
Butter Fat.
If you are about to buy COW or
cows, more or fewer, for ordinary
home use, or even if you are projecting
a farm dairy, there can be no disad-
vantage in bearing in mind not only
that there are cows and cows, some
good for one purpose and some for an
other, but that it is believed that you
can judge what they are good for by
their external conformation. Not all
the authorities agree on the signs in
cows, but some of them, the Mime
sofa station, for instance, furnish in
teresting data on which the individual
farmer can exercise the right of free
thought.
Records of large number of cows
at that station are thought to show
that economy in butter production de-
ponds more upon the type of cow than

A "shipping" Tomato Par Excel
IepCQ

IenCc.
Honor Bright is establishing a fine
reputation as a shipping tomato. This
is due to it's exceptional habit in ripen-
ing. Although it blooms with the ear
ly tomatoes, it does not mature its
fruits until quite late, ripening very
slowly from the center outward, just
the reverse of other tomatoes. At first
it turns ivory white, gradually chang
ing to yellow, then pink, deepening in
to beautiful red when fully ripe.
When in its waxy white stage of
ripening, the fruit is very solid and
firm and, it is claimed, will bear almost
as rough handling as potatoes.
The fruit can be picked when passing
out of the white stage and be shipped
or stored away for days and be found
tender skinned and red ripe when
wanted for use.

Foreign Market For America

]. j. II. Gregory of Massachusetts,
still perseveres in his attempt to have
foreign market opened up for our
American grown squashes. His idea,
as expressed in American Cultivator, is
that they can be introduced into the
British islands, Germany and northern
Europe, in whose markets they are
never found.
1t is well known fact that squashes
will not mature in England and are
utterly unknown there. The first step
toward opening foreign market must
be to introduce them to the people in
all the various ways in which we use
them.

Styles In Summer Wear,

The dominqnt note of the new fash
ions in respect to light summer
dresses is that the waists are very
simple and the skirts elaborate beyond
words.
Nearly all the new summer waists
are shaped slightly at the left side,
and the skirts arc covered with tucks.
insertions, plaitings, ruflles, stitched
bands, and many tlouuces.
AS for the new skirts, they are
trimmed with strapped bands, natur'
ally. Is there any place where n strap
might with any sort of sense OF pro
prioty be made to 40 that ii is not put
these days? The bands are put on the
skirt ut regular intervals and extend
from the waist to the knee Here at
the end of every pointed strap fall
