$26S.44 for the year.
Four Cows Better Than 81.
Herd No. had "a cows that aver
aged 4,233 pounds OF milk and 1913
pounds of butter fat, and made total
profit of $64.79-only S1.91 per COW
for the year Fifteen of these COWS
were kept at a positive loss totaling
| S101.S7, and only four cows had as
much as SIG profit. If the owner had
MIXED only these four cows he would
have made more money and would
have saved the labor Of caring for the
other 80. These individual records,
and their proper Interpretation show
how essential it is that a dairyman
should know just what each COW Is
doing and dispose of all improbable
cows.
Herd No has II cows everyone Of
which shows profit above SIG and an
average profit of $21.66. Herd No.
contains Is COWS. which average only
| 3,147 pounds of milk and 124 pounds
of butter fat. Ten Of these COWS were
kept at an actual loss, and the best
COW made a profit of only s10.21. The
| total loss on this herd was $112.3S, OF
$7.49. This man received $12 less fol
the products from his dairy herd than
he would have received had he sim
ply sold the feed. This IS a deplora-
bic state of affairs-a man trying to
support family with a herd of cows
utterly unable to return a profit.
The Kind of Herd to Keep.
Herd No contained 13 cows aver
aging s,62S-pounds of milk and 1926
pounds of butter fat, making a total
profit OF $553.84 and an average of
$42.60 per COW. And the best four
cows in this herd made q profit of
$244 which is more than the total
profit of the whole three herds, /, 2
and 4, containing 73 COWS and return
ing only 1921 profit in year. Although
grade herd It's lowest COW returned
profit of $22.66 which is more than
twice that of the best cow in herd
e. The star boarders were long ago
eliminated as q result Of several years
testing and keeping individual produc-
ton records, the use of a good pure
bred sire and raising the heifers from
the best cows
The returns from cows when ex-
pressed in dollars and cents, stand out
much more wildly than they do when
expressed in pounds OF milk and but
ter fat Therefore, IL every dairyman
would keep a yearly record OF the
amount of milk and butter fat pro-
duced by his individual cows, and from
this calculate. according to this table
the profit and loss on the individuals,
he would be astonished at the wide
variation in earning capacity of the

An Ibsen Memorial.

The admirers of Ibsen have a prof.
'ect to acquire the apothecary's shop at
Grimstadt where Ibsen was appren-
ticed from 1874 to 1850 and restore 1t
to its appearance at that period as q
memorial Of the author of ''Hedda
Gabler." The appeal sent out states
that the old house Of the apcthecary
Reimann still exists, and it is almost
in the same state as when Ibsen dwelt
there. Almost all the fittings still ex-
list and can be purchased. The whole
place. the shop. the laboratory and the
rooms. will certainly prove Of the
greatest interest, and the committee
expresses the opinion that future gen.
erations will be grateful TO those who
have prevented the house and It's sur.

Disease.

Disease.
The symptoms of kidney trouble are
so unmistakable that they leave no
ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex-
crete thick, cloudy, offensive urine,
full of sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by a sensation OF scald-
ing. The back aches constantly.
headaches and dizzy spells may oc-
cur and the victim is often weighed
down and by a feeling of languor
and fatigue. Neglect these warnings
and there is danger of dropsy,
Bright's disease, or diabetes. Any
one of these symptoms is warning
enough to begin treating the kidneys
at once. Delay often proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Rock
Island proof:

More Than Enough Is Too Much

To maintain health, mature man or woman needs just enough food to re- pair the waste and supply energy and body heat. The habitual consumption of more food than is necessary for these purposes is the prime cause of stomach troubles, rheumatism and disorders of the kidneys. If troubled with indiges- tion, revise your diet, let reason, and not appetite control and take few doses of Chamberlain s Stomach and
 Liver Tablets and you will soon be all right again. For sale by all druggists.
