The sunshade affords this protection

The success Of this plan of feeding
is due to the low price at which the
cattle can be bought and the thin con

type characteristic. Often the best
and poorest gains made are by indi-
viduals of the same breed.
Less labor is required with summer

by them is distributed. and evenly. In

A WARMING TO MANY.
Some Interesting Facts Regarding
Health Statistics.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton OF the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases OF
serious illness, makes a chemical anal
ysis of the patients urine. He knows
that unless the kidneys are doing
their work properly, the other organs
cannot be brought back to health and
strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's Disease, which is
really an advanced form OF kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1910, in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves us
to pay more attention to the health OF
these most important organs.
