: statement was published from Leland

effect that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best medicine for all Kinney Diseases and
that he uses them with uniform success
in his daily practice.
No one who knows DR.. Williamson will
doubt for n moment the complete truth
of his fearless declaration, but to com.
pletely cllnch the matter in the minds of
those who may not have the pleasure of a
personal acquaintance with this celebrated
physician, DR.. Williamson has appeared
before Mr.. II. T.. Greene, j. =. for Mont
gomery county, and made a sworn state
mcnt.
In this sworn statement the doctor has
cited a number of cases which have Been
completely cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills.

CORN FEED
~ cannot He Ignored Any Longer BY
swine Hnfscrs Who Arc Try
Ing to DO Well,

A dozen years ago the farmers of the
corn belt that were engaged in the
raising of hogs would consider no other
iced Tor swine except corn. They be-
gan 10 lted the pigs corn about as
soOn as they were Weaned and contin-
ued to feed them corn till they were
butchered. Corn was very cheap then
except IN occasional years when there
was a partial corn Crop failure. In
those days corn was not only cheap. but
freight rates were high and it cost a
great deal to get the corn to market.
lhere was a saving to the producer in
marketing his corr crop liz the shape of
pork. Since that time there has been
u great change in the position of corn
relative to oats and other grains. There
are many commercial uses to which
corn Is now put that formerly were not
dreamed OF. 1t now seems likely that
the general average of corn prices will
rise from year to year, responsive to the
increasing demand and the restrictive
area OF country in which corn can be
grown. The future is likely TO see he
Oat and barley crops more largely used
In the finishing of swine than is
dreamed OF at the present time. AT any
rate we are about at the end of feed

to see that finishing period grow con-

that a change TO clover and grain other

IDEAL TYPE OF HOG.
Every Breeder should set Tn n stand
ard of His own and W.rk ~
to II COnsistcn:Iy

In visiting many herds and ilocks 4
have been most strongly impressed
with the fact hat there is no uniformity
Of type In them. Each mar has ali sorts
of types and kinds in his herd or flock.
says Prof. G. T.. Day, of Guelph. The
result is that they breed up a flock or
herd that will never be of any use in
the country. Each young breeder, and
old one, too. for that matter, must find
out what is the right type; then set
his up as an ideal and work to 1t. You
cannot reach your ideal at once. 1t
may take ten. fifteen, twenty or even
forty years to do SO, and perhaps you
may never reach it, but keep 1t ever
before you, never lose sight of 1t for
an instant. nor let anything else drive
1t away. You will find that the lar
who makes a success of breeding is he
who sticks to his ideal with, as it were.
q bulldog tenacity, and though he may
not become famous, he will at least
make a name for himself in his sphere
OF life. | would emphasize the ,mpor-
lance of getting the right type fixed in
ones mind as an ideal. There is u type
OF hog that gives the best bacon, and
II the production of bacon hogs is the
ideal a mar has set up for himself, then
ne should get as neal to the ideal type
as possible. Some breeds of hogs come
much nearer that type than others. In
Judging of the length of n hog it is not
enough that he should be long from the
nose to the tail. but It Is of special i'm
portancc that he should be long between
shoulder and ham. | have heard some
people say that 1t costs more to pro-
duce the bacon type Of hog than the fat
KIND. | want to give you this for your
encouragement-it has never been
proved that it docs cost more. our cX-
perlmen)s show very conclusively that
II does not necessarily cost more to pro-
duce a pound of gain in q good bacon
hoS IMAM in a fat hog, and that a good
bacon hog is an economical producer.

ts1ned In 2 resolution that its ulti-

cate. friend, protector and promoter

The resolution was adversely re-

getting quite warm, explained for the
