Whatever may be the artistic value
of the mammoth hats now being worn
by women, it should not be forgotten
that they are most anti-hygienic. They
spoil the hair, because of their weight
and are a direct cause of badness.

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases are too Danger.
Gus for Webster People

The great danger with kidney trouble
is that they get firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them. Health is
gradually undermined. Backache,
headache, nervousness, lameness, sore
ness, lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy
diabetes and Bright's disease follow in
merciless succession. Cure the kidneys
with the certain safe remedy, Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Mrs. Louis A. Carter, living in the
northeastern part of Sisseton, S. D.,
says: II heartily recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills, as have found them to
be remedy of great merit. / used

Many years ago farmers in Sully
county claimed that the Russian thistle
destroyed their wire fences by pilinp
against them and from the push of the
wind pulling the staples. Since the fire
which swept Over the eastern part of
that county few weeks ago there has
been heavy demand for posts on
account of the thistle crop The weeds
had piled against the fences, and when
the fire reached them made so hot a
blaze they destroyed the fence posts,
and these have to be replaced before the
wires can again be strung. An ordi-
nary prairie fire will not do any great
amount Of damage to a fence post. but
the thistles create an int-nse heat and
start the post to burning.

KEEPING SHEEP.
The Farmers Flock Can Be Maintained
With Small Expense.


In an address before ontario farm,
,rs in regard to success with sheep on
the farm, Professor Day said in part:
| do not think it would be wise for
every man to keep sheep, for the rea'
son that In order to be successful with
any class Of animals man must have
love for them. and If man does not
like sheep he would not be likely to
make success of them. There are
several things about the sheep, how
ever, which make them especially well
adapted to occupy place on almost
any farm.
Sheep will eat great many kinds
Of weeds which other animals will not
touch. This makes them especially
valuable about a farm as a sort Of
scavenger.
They will live on very poor pasture,
where many other animals would
starve. Their activity enables them to
travel long distances In search of their
food, and the formation Of their mouths
is such that they can bite very closely
to the ground enabling them to gather
a living from the poorest soils.
Cheap Shelter.
Sheep require very inexpensive build
ings. Almost any sort of building will
answer the purpose so long as it pro
tects them from storms I'm the rough
est weather and is reasonably dry and
free from drafts. There is no other
farm animal for which cheaper build
ings are required.
There Is comparatively little labor
involved in taking care of a flock Of
sheep. | do not know of any animal
that requires less labor In its feeding
and management.
Grind Their Own Grain.
They grind their own grain, which
is another factor which adds to the
cheapness of their maintenance. They
are the best grain grinders which we
have, and the weed seeds consumed by
sheep are never known to grow after
ward. This is not true Of other farm
animals.
