The government statisticians give the average value of the twenty and ene-half million horses in this country at $95.65 per head, which is the aver age value of three milk cows. Horses have increased in value S35 a head over the average for the period from 1898 to 1907 Breeding and taking care of horses is a profitable business, and good horses can be raised by farmers as easily and as cheaply as the foreigners or the firm or man who devotes a large farm exclusively 10 breeding horses. It is the small farmers in the foreign countries that raise the high priced ones imported Even if the home market becomes glutted with good horses there is no reason why they cannot be exported, for they can be raised in this coun- try, yes, even in Minnesota. or the Dakotas, for less than in many of the foreign countries from which they are imported. But the only way to do it is to do it right.

Kodol insures good digestion by absolutely duplicating Natures normal process, in perfectly digest ing all food taken into the stom- Rch
 While Kodol Is doing this. the stomach Is resting-and becoming strong and healthy A strong and healthy stomach guarantees a sound and active brain.
 The man with a sound stomach "a stomach that Is doing for the body just what Nature intended it to do-is the man who is always prepared for any emergency He is there with the goods"
 The man with a sick stomach, is a man sick all over. When the stomach is irritated by undigested food. the blood and heart are di- rectly affected. Then dullness, un- natural sleepiness. sick-headaches, vertigo and fainting spells. and even serious brain trouble develop Kodol will prevent these.

Farmers Educational
 -AND- Co., Operative Union Of America
How Swine Multiply.


 Not long since two gentlemen were driving by the home of a successful. breeder As they passed the barn lots a thrifty little SOW pig crossed the road before them They remark ed about the beauty of the little ami nal, and the older of the wo said: You may not believe n.g dt | can take that little SOW and ih tour years with her increase buy the best so acres there is in this neighboThood and have enough hogs left to stock up the farm and pay good share of the expense in their keeping"
 At first thought the statement does not seem possible, but a little figur- ing will prove that it is not far from the truth.
 We will suppose that the SOW and all her female increase will faprow for the first time when they are a year old, and will give birth to litter every six months thereafter, and that each litter will average six pigs, three males and three females.
 Al the end of the first year we have the SOW and six pigs-three males and four females. In IS months the SOW has second litter. This brings the total up to seven sows and six males After two years have gone this SOW has her third litter. and each of the three sows of her first litter also farrow. This gives us total of 19 sows and IS males. In two years and half the three sows of the sec ond litter are old enough to farrow. This brings our number up to 40 le males and 39 males In three years the sows of the first, second and third filters will farrow, and in addition the nine that were born to the three of the first litter This increases the number to 97 females and 96 males Thus it goes on in progression till the end of four years, when we have a total of DOS females and DOT males. hogs enough to buy a good sized farm.
