necticut river valley, where the soil
is fairly good, there are many farms
we'll titled. These are largely dairy
farms, the owners or renters that
work them securing a good living
and some of them little more than
a living, Few cattle are raised
except for the dairy business and
sheep raising is an industry of the
past. Rhode Island in 1860 had
$4,000 sheep on its farms. The
last census shows the number of
sheep in that state at not one tenth
of that number. It would seem
that the billy, rocky, bushy areas of
the New England states might sup
port to good advantage flocks of
sheep. Some will tell you that the
multiplicity of dogs in the cities and
villages has killed the industry.
This undou btedly has discouraged
the industry to some extent but the
fact seems to be that sheep raising
has declined only in about the same
ratio as has general farming.
There are thousands of abandoned
farms in New England. Real
estate agents are endeavoring to in
duce foreigners and western people
to buy these abandoned farms and
they are offered at marvelously low
prices. Of course these real estate
agents are interested in the develop
ment of these farms! But like the
agent in other sections, while we
will not say be misrepreSents, we
can Justly say that he will present
the advantages in the best light
possible and fail entirely to repre-
sent the disadvantages elm ate
and nearness to markets. The dis
advantages are incident to the land
itself, when the cultiva tion of the
land is contemplated-the question
of products and the facility with
which the land can be worked.
There are hundreds of farms that
can be bought for fraction of
what the buildings on the land cost
originally or could be replaced for.
AS an instance we see a place of
over 100 acres, a two-story house,
necessary outbuildings and mod
ern barn, advertised this way:
1.-THE money cost of the barn will
buy the whole property" Why
have these farms been abandoned
and why can they be purchased SO
low? In anotheraetter we will show
some of these reasons. E. S. R.

people, but also by the men who are
interested in other breeds such as
Holsteins, Ayrshires, Guernseys and
Red Polls. The council of these
breeders was freely given and heart
ily received. David Imrie spoke on
the friendly rivalry of the Holsteins.
E. C. Jacobs extended an invitation
to cooperate with the State Jersey
Club. Mr.. Griswold of West Salem,
who is said to keep one COW to the
acre and make $3.50 per COW, gave a
few words of greeting and advice.

MONDELL GETS HEARING
ON LAND APPEALS BILL
Backed by Administration, He Will
Push the Measure at This
Session.

by granting hearing to Represent
alive Mondell Of Wyoming on his land
appeals bill. which has the approval of
the administration. the House rules
committee today took UP the fight to
transfer the much disputed Cunning
ham Alaska coal land claim to the
courts for adjudication.
The Mondell measure. which was in
troduced at the last session OF Con-
gress, proposes to give every claimant
for land the right to appeal to the
circuit court OF the District Of Column
bia from the decision Of the Secretary
of the Interior. At present the Secre-
tary's Judgment is final.
A special rule to bring the bill be-
fore the House at the present session
is what Mr.. Mondell wants. Before the
committee today he argued the genera
necessity for appeal and for an inter-
probation Of the land laws by a COM
petent court He did not specifically
mention the Cunningham claim. which
will, Of course, be the most important
case directly affected.
The MOndell measure is very similar to
a bill drafted by Secretary Ballinger to
transfer the. Cunningham cases. 1t will
not however. permit new testimony to
be taken by the court. but specifies the
acceptance of the record Of the cases now
before the Interior Department officials.
At a recent conference between Presi-
dent Taft. Secretary Ballinger. Land
Commissioner Bennett and Mr.. Mondell.
it was determined to push the latter'S bill
for passage at this session.

RH EU M A TITS
Weak Kidneys and
Thin Blood

Not only is the blood the great
nourishing source of our systems. but
equally as important is its work of
removing the waste of oxidMed It's
sues which have been consumed in
force and bodily heat. This waste is
filtered out through the kidneys.
When. however. the kidneys become
weak and unable to perform their
regular duties, the waste is allowed
to remain in the circulation, soon
forming uric acid. which destroys the
greater portion of nourishing ele-
ments of the blood and leaves it weak
and acrid. This imperfect blood de-
posts into the different muscles and
Joints the uratic impurity with which
it is contaminated. Then the pains
and aches of Rheumatism commence.
The gritty formation which uric acid
causes collects in the joints, pro-
duces the aches and stiffness which
always accompany the disease. Like
wise the muscles are coated and lose
their elasticity. while the continual
irritation to the nerves produces
swelling and inflammation of the flesh.

CONDITIONS GOOD FOR
PROSPEROUS SEASON

That the coming season is going
to be one of prosperity for the farm
ers in northwestern Montana is
the prediction of every one engaged
in business in this section of the
state. 1t is based on conditions tina
have prevailed since last summer,
and it is said to be hardly possible
for them to be more nearly ideal for
producing bumper crops of every
description, particularly of winter
wheat and other cereals.
From across the range, in the dry
farming country the reports are
most encouraging The homestead
ers, who have been granted leave
of absence from their claims dur
ing the winter months, are beginnin
to come back with renewed vigor,
and are preparing for the spring
work. One of the secrets of success
in dry farming is to begin cultivat-
ing the ground as early in the
spring as possible, and in another
month those prairies will be scene
Of lively activity.

AVOID HARSH DRUGS.
MANY CATHARTICS TEND TO
CAUSE INJURY TO THE
BOWELS,

If you are subject to constipation,
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give tempo
rary relief, and their reaction
is harmful and sometimes more an
noying than constipation. They in no
way to effect a cure. and their tend
ency is to weaken the already weak
organs with which they come in
contact
We honestly believe that we have
the best constipation treatment ever
devised. Our faith in it is so
strong that We can sell it on the
positive guarantee that it shall not
cost the user a cent if it does not
give entire satisfaction and COM
pletely remedy constipation. This
preparation is called Rexall Order
lies. These are prompt, soothing
and most effective in action. They
are made of a recent chemical dis
covery. Their principal ingredient
is odorless, tasteless and colorless.
Combined with other we'll known
ingredients, long established for
their usefulness in the treatment of
constipation, it forms a tablet which
is eaten just like candy. They may
be taken at any time, either day or
night, without fear of their causing
any inconvenience whatever. They
do not grippe, purge nor cause neau-

pain or excessive looseness of the
bowels. They are ideal for children,

cents. Remember you can obtain
them only at our store-The Rexall
