Profit i'm Sheep Raising.

S. A. Saum, of Shenandoah County,
Virginia, gives the following returns
from his flock of sheep this year: He
had one buck and thirty-seven ewes.
Thirty-one ewes had lambs. Six of
the ewes were only twelve months
old, and did not lamb. He raised
thirty-eight lambs and lost six. For
the wool and lambs sold he received
$197. The ewes are not large ones
and, therefore, do not shear a very
heavy fleece or make very large
lambs. He says the sheep are the
most profitable stock kept on the
farm.

II suffered misery and intense
pains from stomach trouble for over

| did or medicine that l used were
of no avail until about two years
ago. when l used a treatment of

ment helped me greatly and upon
using it a while / was made entire
ly free from any stomach trouble or
complaint whatever. Since the
cure by Mi-c-na l have regained
my weight, | eat and sleep well,

general health is much better.'-

WHY?

More than once we have been
accosted with this query since the
OPINION was reduced to its original
size. When we enlarged the paper,
some ten years ago, to. seven
columns, we made no public
announcement of the change. We
did it because we had installed a
number of new typesettingmachines
and we wished to try the experiment
OF issuing larger paper to see what
effect it would have upon our
subscription list, although the
original sized paper was, and is,
as big as many towns larger than
Bradford are getting. 1t did not
affect our list as much as it did
our finances. When we equipped
our plant in Montpelier, we naturally
sent our typesetting machines to
the larger field and, as we were
printing so large a paper at a
constant loss, we decided to return
the paper to its old size. This
we dld without explanation, as IN
the earlier day we enlarged it
without a shout. We have not
cut down our local columns, our
editorial or our general State news,
but the cut has come entirely in our
miscellany. As so many of our.
subscribers make one paper do the
duty of two or three, with our
limited field, the situation is becom-
ing acute. Our circulation is our
life blood. When you are inclined
to criticise us for reducing the size
of the paper, or to stop your
stop and think how
long you, yourself, can get along
giving something for nothing. A
little thought will show you, we
cannot live that way.
