Owen Roberts, who fell at Stono, was cause of uni versaI regret He was an inaexible patriot, an excellent disciplinarian, and enthusiast In pursuit of military fame His son, who was in the ac- ton, hearing of his misfortune, hastened to him. The expiring vet eran perceiving in his countenance the liveliest sorrow, addressed him with great compOsure: T rejoice, my boy once again to see and to embrace you.

TAKE DOAN'S KIDNEY
 PILLS FOR BACkACHE

If you are lame every morn- ing, and suffer urinary ills, there must be a cause. Often it is weak kidneys. To strengthen the weakened kidneysand avert more serious troubles, use Doan's Kidney Pills. You can rely on this testimony.
 Mrs. L. w. Dickey, W. Arch St., Searcy, Ark, says: My back ached all the time and if 1 lay down for awhile, l could hardly get up. It hurt me to stoop over and when l got up mornings, I was stiff and lame and didn't feel the least bit rested. My feet and ankles swelled badly and l had rheu- matic pains in my limbs. One box of Doan's Kidney Pills re- lieved all these symptoms of kidney trouble and my back has been much stronger since"
 Price 50c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney rem 'edy-get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Dickey had. Foster Milburn Go. Props, Buffalo, N. I. 6

Select For Uniformity of Type.

select F or Ohlformlty or ype.
 Uniformity Of type in the females is another thing that needs consiaera- ton The appearance of a herd in this respect always makes a strong impression upon the prospective buyer whether the would-be buyer is selecting feeder or breeding animals. The man who has developed a herd recognized for its uniformity will have a greater demand for his stock at bet ter prices than the breeder who has not given the matter of uniformity due consideration The prospective breeder will find it a fairly easy job to pick a uniform herd if he is going into the pure bred business. but where starting with Arkansas grades or scrubs he will find it more difficult proposition to secure the type desired. He should, however, endeavor to se- cure his females with as uniform type and color as possible.
 Eliminate Inferior individuals in the
 Herd.
 Another point upon which the sue cess or failure oI the prospective breeder depends Is the elimination of inferior individuals in the herd. Mis- takes fin the livestock business have often been made by beginners in sell ing of the best female offspring of the herd. This mistake is naturally encouraged by the more attractive prices offered for the better animals. but 1t only stands to reason that if practice Is made of disposing of the better females no improvement can be made, or at least it will be very slow. while on the other hand if a practice Is made of selling off the poorest females in the herd and keep, ing the best a time will come when the breeders poorest animals will be much superior. perhaps, to the best animals owned by neighbor breeder who has not followed systematic SC. lection in his herd

HOW TO BUILD UP
 A GOOD FARM HERC
Live Stock Is Farmers Opportunity. Says j. II. Mcleod, of Exten-
 sion Division.

It should be the desire of every Ar kansas farmer interested in livestock to build up at least a good small farm herd. Whether this desire eliminates in the production of high grades for market purposes or develops into the breeding of pure breds for high qual- ity of trade, the method of procedure is practically the same.
 Sire Is Half the Herd.
 The first thing that the prospective breeders should firmly fix in his mind is that the sire is half the herd" It does not matter how good the females are, unless the sire is good indi- yidual, capable of stamping his char acteristics upon his offspring, prog. ress in the improvement cannot be ex- pected. Therefore, those expecting to go into the business of breeding hogs or cattle should pay particular atten- tion to the selection of the head Of the herd. A sire, among other things, should have strong constitution, that is, deep chest development, with a large heart girth An animal without this will not usually stand the strain of the amount of breeding usually ex- pected of him nor will he sire as TO- bust animals or as active grazers and good feeders as the sire which is strong in constitution. Other points that should command attention are good broad backs. strong loin, deep sides and well developed hindquarters.
 Watch For Characteristics of
 Frequency.
 With this development there should be the characteristics of prepotency, that is the power of transmitting de- desirable qualities to the offspring. This power is denoted by q we'll crest ed neck with a strong male appear anee in the head and good constitu- tion. Herds of hogs as well as cattle are often ruined by failing to pay at tention to these points. The practice of breeding females that have the characteristics of males will have q tendency to produce smaller animals that are not as good breeders as those that have been more wisely selected
 If the sire is half the herd it on- ly stands to reason that the females constitute the other half. Thus the selection of this part of the herd has an important bearing upon the sue cess of the prospective breeder The same things that have been pointed out in the selection of the male ap- plies 10 the female, with the exception that the female should show female characteristics just as strongly as the male should show male character istics.
