Writing OF the Ayrshire COW, Henry
Il. Alvord, the dairy expert, has de-
clared that in obtaining subsistence
and doing well on a wide range OF
scanty pasture or in thriving and CIV
ing a dairy profit upon the coarsest
of forage there is no COW which ex-
GELS the Ayrshire unless it be the littls
Irish Kerry.
The natural hardihood of constitu-
ton renders these cattle admirably
adapted to grazing on broken and rug
ged pastures and in sterner weather
than would be conducive to the well
being of COWS of other breeds.
Another authority says: Kerry cattle
came from Ireland. Only few OF
them are now in the United States.

NOW IS THE TIME.
Summer Is Best Season to Cure
Catarrh--Hyomei Sold Under
Guarantee.

Summer is the best time in the
whole year for the treatment of ca
tarrhal troubles, and The W. r..
Smith Co. urge every reader of the
News-Herald to use Hyomei now and
be permanently cured.
Unlike the ordinary treatment for
catarrh, there is no stomach dosing
when using Hyomei. The remedy is
breathed through a neat pocket in
haler that comes in every outfit, and
its balsamic healing air penetrates to
the most remote parts of the nose,
throat and lungs, searches out and
kills the catarrh germs, in all parts
of the respiratory organs and soothes
and heals any irritation there may be
in the mucous membrane.
Hyomei is not alone the only natural
treatment for catarrh, but it is the
only one sold under an absolute guar
antee to refund the money unless II
gives satisfaction. 1t kills all disease
germs and restores the mucous mem
brane of the throat, nose and lungs 20
perfectly healthy condition.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but s1.00, extra bottles, SOC. The w
r. Smith Co. sell Hyomei under an
absolute guarantee to refund the
money If it does not give satisfaction.
You run no risk at all in buying this
guaranteed remedy.
