among range cattle often reached such

Factories of all kinds must throw

AN ATTACK OF GRIP
USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS
IN WEAKENED CONDITION

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of grip
which has visited so many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in run
down condition, particularly the kidneys
which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and urin-
airy troubles which should not be neglect
ed, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report large sale on DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root which so many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp Root,
being an herbal compound, has gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who try it. DR.. .Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, offer to send SAM
pie size bottle Of Swamp Root, on receipt
of ten cents, to every sufferer who re-
quests it. A trial will convince anyone
who may be in need of it. Regular medi.

The high opening through the shed
is the entrance to the barn. This ar

There is as much money in raising
beef cattle as there is in keeping dairy
cows. Profits depend upon the man.
One farmer knows how to make money
by doing a dairy business. Another
farmer knows how to breed and feed
beef cattle to get big prices. 1t is not
often that one man makes a conspicu-
GUS success with both. He is prone to
give his best attention to the kind OF
live stock that he likes best.
A good farm is worth good buildings.
Any farm is good that provides liv-
ing for the family. Comfortable build
ings help to make poor farm good
and good farm better. Even the land
that has been ruined may be brought
back to life by the aid of live stock !;
but first there must be buildings to
make the live stock comfortable. Near
ly every farm is shy building or two
and most farms need more fencing

barns and stables for storage and win

ments. If animals require all their
feed to keep them alive and warm,
then the grain is being burned for fuel
while the animals are not lettering

is to the owner.
We don't really own our land until
we have it well fenced. We don't real
~ own our own live stock until we
have proper buildings in which to house
them. Saving the waste makes the
profit. A farm barn is a farm factory.
Waste material is by-product in dis
guise. What was formerly waste is
now worked into saleable merchandise
in the manufacturing industries. Farm
buildings are farm factories. The soil
produces the raw materials which are
taken to the farm shops and made into
high-priced butter, beef. mutton and
pork.
Formerly beef cattle were raised on
the open range. 1t required three or
four years to produce beef steer, be-
cause they were left out in the cold to
hustle for themselves all winter. The
grass was partly covered with snow

Il should say not laughed the
North Wind, and his laugh was SO cold
that they all wanted to start right
away. They felt like exercising and
blowing and showing.
Prince Sleet was talking with the
King of the Clouds and the Hail King.
"We'll give them good time they
all said. Eyes, we'll come down to-
gether, rain and hail and sleet. Oh,
1t will be gorgeous storm y
"We're all ready, then, eh?' asked
old Mr.. North Wind once more.
"We're all ready" they said. And
the earth people shivered, sat closer
to the fires, and the ones who were
outside drew their collars and furs
tighter.
''Then-Go." said old Mr.. North
Wind. And the storm parade began.
In it were the Storm King, King Hail,
old King Snow, Prince Sleet, the King
of the Clouds, his army of Raindrops
the Snowflake children, the Winter
Breezes and old Mr.. North Wind
marched ahead carrying big stick
made out of icicles which he threw up
in the air and looked exactly like a
drum-majOr.
Of course the people on the earth
could not see him, but they could feel
him Oh, how cold it was! And what
terrific storm
The city people said that they would
not be able to get about and that cars
and traffic Of all sorts would be de-
layed.
But the strangest thing of all was
the way the storm acted. 1t began at
one end and went straight through the
city but only section at time. When
it had finished storming in one sec
ton it. went on down little further
to another, while all the parts around
were fine and clear.
The evening newspapers in the city
said that the storm was sfreakish,
and one little girl who was riding In
a motorcar with her mother said that
they seemed to keep pace with the
storm straight down through the city.
But they managed to escape the very
end of it which was the worst Of all.
"Now for good wind-up," said old
King Snow as he blew.
ssThat's good expression" said old
Mr.. North Wind. For even though he
was the drum-majOr of the storm the
others made suggestions as to how the
storm could be made worse.
And they all ended up by blowing.
showing, sleeting, hailing, raining and
freezing harder than ever.
"Oh, it was a gorgeous psrade," said
old Mr.. North Wind. 1--WE moved right
along just like a regular parade but
we had the streets almost to ourselves
