You occasionly see it stated that
colds do not result from cold wealth.
er. That is rank foolishness. We're
it true, colds would be as prevalent
IN midsummer as in mldwinter. The
microbe that causes colds fourishes
in damp, cold, weather. To get rid
of cold take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t is effectual and is high

Pure Bred Sire,

/
One canuet afford to patrouize
grade and scrub sires because it
is more profitable not to breed
mares-at all than to breed them
to grade or scrub stallion. The
country is over stocked now with
horses sired by grades or serbs
which can be purchased more
cheaply than they can be raised.
Two cases which illustrate this
fact follow: A Kansas farmer
had been breeding his mares 10
grade and scrub stations for
which service fees ranging from
81 TO $40 were charged. He
awakened to the fact that the
horses he was raising were not
satisfactory for farm work and
that he could not sell them for
as much as it had cost to raise
them, so he decided to breed his
mares to a good, soInd, purebred
stallion. 1t the fall when the
colts sired by the purbred STALL
ions we're weanlings, he was COM
PEELED to sell his live stock at
public auction. The prices his
neighbors paid for the colts of
various ages sired by the two
kinds of stations are given in
the following table:
Out of grade farm mares and
sired by gaade stations: Year
lings $37-2-year-olds $55-3 year
olds $40.
Out of the same grade mares
and sired by purebred draft
stallions; Weanlings $1O1
The other case illustrating the
value of the purebred sire is that
of two geldings that sold on the
Kansas City market on the same
day. Both had received the
same care, both were sound. and
both were out of the same mare.
One, five-year-old, sired bya
grade stallion, sold for SIP, and
the other, a four-year-old, sired
by pure'bred stallion, sold for
$238. These two instances pro-
vide convincing illustrations of
the value of the good, sound,
purebred siae and indicate that
futpre improvement in the kind
and quality of American horses
depends very largely upon the
pure bred stallion. Approx
mately 40 per cent of the STALL
ions used for seavice IN Kansas
today are grades and scrubs and
they exist because enough short
sighted, careless, thoughtless
people patronize them to make
their maintenance worth while
to their owner. These patrons
must awaRe to the fact that they
are doing themselves, as we'll as
their immunity, an injustice by
following such methods. The
man who has the nerve and cour-
age to invest his money in good,
purebred sires for public SER
vice is public benefactor.

PREPAREDNESS

The world is demanding draft
horses, and men best informed
on the worlds supply urge that
every good mare be bred this
season to the best availa BILE draft
stallion. Reports from foreign
nations indicate that government
measures have bean adopted to
compel the breeding of every
mare of producing age, and fur
ther stipufating precisely what
stations the mares must be bred
to. This has been done to in
crease their stock of heavy draft
horses and to make certain that
the mares are bred to the best
obtaiuable draft, stations.
A Meade County Farmer.
Meade County news., 1917-03-15

| The most difficult problem in
draft horse breeding is that OF
the sire. In order to make any
advance, to Improve the horse
stock, high.cIass Sire is neces-
sary. The real high'class Stall
lions are not plentiful in our
county. The average farmer
will use the mares be already
possesses for breeding purposes
and if wise will improve his
brood mare stock by careful sc
lection and elimination from his
improved young stock. If pos
sible he should seek for his use,
proved sires begetting colts that
sell for prices above the average.
Ifan untried Sire must be used
one should be sure that he is
sound, well bred, true to type,
acceptable in conformation, and
of sufficient size. The breeder
should seek the best stall on
rather than the one offered at
the lowest fee. 1t is poor busi-
ness to save SIS or $40 on one end
of the colt-raising venture and
lose from $40 to $50, and perhaps
more, on the other end of it. 1t
is to be regretted that many
farmers seem more concerned
about the service fee than the
merits of the Stallion. Action is
highly important. A straight,
sprIngy walk and trot com bined
with a gay carriage, clean'cut
bead, well arched neck,a reason
ably short back, wide loin, plen-
ty OF middle, a long hlp,> level
rump, thick strong thigh, we'll
muscled gaskins, clean wide
hook, finty bone, well-set pas
terms, and big tough feet. That
conformation is standard.
We must have the horse as
long as men exhist. No amount
of mechanical horsepower will
ever fill the place of horse. 1t
is impossible to get the same
amount of strength in the same
compass for the same money
and for the same expense of up
keep.

|IF BACK HURTS
 BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally if You Eat Meat
 Regularly.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores 50 they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisions from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou- ble, nervousness, constipation, dig ziness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys
 The moment you feel dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy. offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at- tended by sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in glass of water be- fore breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and has sbeen used for genera tions to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neu- 'tralize the. acids in urine SO it no long, CT causes irritation, thus ending blad- der disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which all regular meat caters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby Avoiding serious kid ney complications. Adv.

PLIGHT OF RAILROADS.

Tho railroads of the country are not only suffering for lack of cars, but also for lack of locomotives. Their position in this respects is really precarious, due altogether to conditions that have developed since the United States entered the war.
 The roads have b"en ordering To. comotives. but because the govern. ment's business has precedence over everything else, there are $40,O0O, ,000 in untitled orders by private com. ranies being laid up urtil the govern. nent's business is out of the, way. Including government work, one 10. comotive company alone has $70.000,' coo in untitled orders.
