Have your ideal. You know the
ones that answer to the accepted
type and TO your ideal. Study
your flock. You know the ones
that raise the best lambs and shear
the heaviest fleece; you learn to
discard the coarse head, the heavy

the dark skin. II, Id on to the
ones that conform the nearest to

The Most Profitable Ami
NAL.

A we'll fed flock of sheep is the
most profitable property farmer
can own. 1t is sometimes said
that the dairy cow is this; il that
be true, why is it that the numE er
of sheep has Increased over 5000,
900 in Great Britain in the last
few years, until now there are
over 800 sheep to ever mile2
sheep raising is looked upon by
many as primitive industry
suited only to poor lands and un,
developed agriculture. If sheep
were suited only to rough and
waste lands, why is it that in
Great Britain the tendapt looks
upon his sheep as the surest rent
payer on land that is worth from
$500 to $500 per acre9
We have always advocated that
any farmer can keep small flock
with satisfactory success. Fail
ures in keeping of sheep invari.
ably happen in having too large a
flock to begin with, for being able
to keep successfully small flock,
which sny person with good judg-
meht may dc, is no reason that
he can keep thousand with the
same success, for in all arts APP
pertaining TO agriculture there is
no branch so difficult to become
proficient in as the shepard's art.
This does not apply to sheep alone

with an average, a decline of 13
per cent. since the report issued
by this Department March lst
The past month, with its freezing
weather and cold rains, has been
most severe on the wheat plant,
hence the decline in prospect,
But four counties ia the state now
report wheat prospect at an aver
age or better. Correspondents,
generally, note it's unpromising
condition, and in many selections
of the state a large percentage of
the original area seeded will be,
or has been, plowed up and put
to other crops. The damage re-
ported by the Hessian fly and
other insects is of little conse-
quence. As the original area
seeded to wheat was belLw a good
average, and deducting from this
the area that will be plowed up,
Ohio's wheat harvest this year
will necessarily be far below a full
average crop.
The unfavoraole weather has
seriously retarded farm work and
spring crops will go in late.
The township assessors reports
show that last year the oats area
was 1896, 434 acres. The CORE
spondents estimate that the area
seeded to oats this year, compared
with last SO per cent, or l, $50, 009
acres. These figures are probably
low, as no doubt many correspon-
dents have based their estimate on
the amount now sown, without
considering the many fields in
tended for oats, but owing to the
unfavorable weather conditions it
has been imr rossiblc to seed. A
greater part of the plowed up
wheat area will be sowp to oats,
although if the season continues
backward it will be planted to
corn.
Glover has been damaged to some
extent by the freezing weather.
Live stock general is in good
condition, and the losses during
the winter have been very slight.
Pastures are very backward and
many farmers are still feeding
stock.
The prospect for berries is esti-
mated at II per cent, compared
with an average.

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE
WEAK BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Half the Common
Aches and Ills Of Barre People.


As one weak link weakens q chain,
so weak kidneys weaken the whole body
and hasten the hnal breaking down,
0yerwork, strains. cold and other
causes injure the kidneys, and when
their activity is lessened the whole body
suffers from the excess of uric poison
circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and langour and
urinary ills come, and there Is an ever
increasing tendency toward diabetes and
fatal Bright's disease. There ii no real
help for the sufferer except kidney help.

kidneys and cure every kidney i'll. Barre
cures are the proof.
