decrease In horse breeding win not be
fully selt until about 1928. or when
the foals born IT, 1919 ana 1920 have
become of workable age. In many
sections the work stock is being used
up without any provision for the flu
ture.
Opportunity for Farmers.
The country must depend on the
farmer more than ever for the produc-
ton of horses needed for farm and
other work. for the number of men
engaged in extensive horse breeding
has become less and less from year
to year. The farmer, In order to pro-
duce the efficient horse, must use the
greatest care In the selection of his
breeding stock. The production of
greater efficiency in our work animals
would not only mean greater remuner-
alton to the breeder. but also greater
efficiency in our agricultural produc-
ton.

FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS
IN CATTLE AND HOGS
Analysis of Reports Indicate De-
crease in Disease.
Post Mortem Results at FederaIIy In
sPected Meat Packing Establish
ments Give Encouraging Fig
ures to Authorities.

Analysis of the reports regarding
tuberculosis in cattle and swine, issued
during the last three years by the
United States department of agricul-
ture. indicates a decrease in the per-
centage of animals found to be infect
ed with this disease. The figures
based on post-mortem results at fed
orally inspected meat packing estab-
lishments are encouraging to state and
federal authorities and others engaged
in the eradication of tuberculosis.
A summary of the federally inspect
ed slaughter of cattle at eight impor-
tant market centers-Chicago Kansas
City, Omaha, South st. Joseph. st.
Paul, Sioux City. East st. Louis and
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. that the percentage
of animals condemned for tuberculosis
for the year ended June 80, 1917, was
0.51 per cent (51 hundredths OF / per
cent? Of the whole number slaugh-
tered. For 1918 COMBINATIONS for the
same cause had decreased to 038 per
cent; and In 1919 they had dropped
to 0.32 per cent. The total number OF
cattle slaughtered in 1917 at the eight
points mentioned was 5000, 1924. and
in 1919 this had increased to $685., 735.
The reports regarding swine at the
same eight markets show that the per-
centage condemned for tuberculosis in
1917 was 0.244 per cent; In 1918, 0.199
per cent; and in 1919. OH per cent.
1t is noteworthy, the meat inspection
divisional points out. that the per cent
age of tuberculosis in swine declined
along with the decrease of the same
disease among cattle. The figures
support the belief that swine are in
fected with the tuberculosis princi-
pally from cattle, infection being
spread in most cases either by feed
ing unpasteurized skim milk. by allow
ing hogs to eat tuberculous carcasses
or offal, or permitting the hogs to fol-
low diseased cattle in feed lots and
pastures. Livestock owners. the de-
partment of agriculture declares. can
hasten the stamping out of tuberculo-
sis by careful attention to sanitation,
by having their herds tested with tu-
berculin, removing any reactors found.
and thereafter requiring all cattle In
PRODUCED on the farm to have passed
a successful tuberculin test.

ROTATION INCREASES YIELD
Among Many Other Reasons II Dis
tributes Risk Of Crop Failure
and Helps Fertility.

There are many reasons for rotat-
ing crops. Some are more important
in one section. some in another. Among
them may be mentioned the follow
ing:
"a Rotation increases the total crop
yield.
(2) 1t distributes the risk Of crop
failure, since conditions injurious to
one crop frequently do not affect other
crops.
(S) It gives a better distribution or
farm labor throughout the year.
(4) 1t allows the keeping Of more
live stock, which favors a better use
of farm crops and furnishes farm ma
nure.
(5) It allows the use of green-ma-
nure crops and the satisfactory APP
pIlcatIon of farm manures. thus main
tanning the fertility OF the soil.
(6) II insures a better control Of
weeds, injurious insects, and fungous
diseases OF crops.
(7) 1t uses soil moisture more COM
pletely, as different crops use water
differently. - Farmers Bulletin 67S,

II You Need a Medicine

It is that so many products that are ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out

reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufactures. This
applies. more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative valve almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy ia
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of Il.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large q
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls all
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
Progress in the average quality of
horses produced In the United States
has not kept pace with the progress
made In many agricultural tines. say
animal husbandry specialists, for the
reason that the farmer, in too many
instances, has not given the careful
thought to this subject that he has to
his other problems. This is true
moreover, in spite of the fact that eff
cient horse power is one of the most
important factors in the economical
production of agricultural products.
The average prices of horses during
the war remained practically at a
standstill, even decreasing slightly,
while the prices of meat animals in
creased tremendously, even more than
dGdblingsin some cases. This had a
discOuraging effect on horse breeding,
which resulted in a decrease In the
number of mares bred In 1918 and
1919.
Demand Depends Largely on Quality.
There is today, however, great
scarcity of high-class, efficient horses
and mules and a strong demand and

FROGS TENNIS MORNINGS.

"Goog- googa-roOm, goog-a-
room" said Grandfather Frog. s'In the
good old days we used to have tennis
mornings"
What are they?" asked one of the
younger frogs.
1--WE used to have special mornings
when all the frogs would come to an
entertainment on our stump and we
would have tennis games in the
would come dressed in their best with
never an idea of playing tennis but
only of being sOciable.
Then other frogs would give tennis
mornings so that we were very gay
and had great deal of fun. OF
course, as | say. thare were always
some young frogs who wanted to play
tennis and who wanted to look after
that part of the morning"
Wasn't the playing of the tennis
the most important part of the tennis
mornings?" asked another young frog.
"Yes, and no." said Grandfather
Frog.
What do you mean by yes and nor"
asked another young frog.
"Well," said Grandfather Frog. 81
mean, goog-a-room, / mean that the
young frogs took a great part in the
tennis games, and We had cups at the
end of the season and great excite
ment over them.
But there were many, many other
frogs who didn't care so much about
the tennis but who liked to come and
watch the tennis and they liked to
wear their best clothes as / told you
and they liked to talk and they liked
our refreshments tremendously.
you see we always had refresh
ments. They were a most important
part of a tennis morning. In fact
great many other things were impor-
tant, as you see, besides tennis. Well.
1 was going to ask you young frogs if
you wouldn't like to get up some ten
mis- mornings? Get the young and
fashionable lady frogs to start it,"
"We1l do that. grandfather. goog-a-
room, Wen do that"
SO the little frogs talked about ten
mis- mornings to their friends and the
young and fashionable lady frogs
thought 1t was a fine idea for they too
had heard of the old tennis mornings
in Grandfather Frogs younger days
and they wanted to have tennis morn
ings like them.
So. in very short time, the young
and fashionable lady frogs decided
on different days of the week for the
different frogs tennis mornings. and
they sent out their invitations. They
were to have tennis mornings three
times a week during June, July. Au-
gust and September. and ali the tennis

ing, and foal will be born that will
not mature into a work animal valu-
able enough TO pay for the cost of the
feed and care necessary to raise the
foal properly.
1t is fact that many progressive
farmers balk at paying a rea Sonable
service fee for a good stallion and will
breed to an Inferior stallion because
OF the lower fee 1t Is false economy
TO stop at a few dollars when 1t comes
to the hest horse. 1t is the colt, and
not the high service fee. which counts
most In reckoning profits. 1t costs
but little more to raise the $3.50 kind
than it does the $125 kind.
A Decrease In Work Stock.
The result of the decrease in the
number of mares bred In 1918 has
been a decrease In the number or
horses. The estimates of the bureau
of crop estimates show decrease OF
$4,000 in the number Of horses on
farms January 1. 1920. as compared
with January l. 1919. and an increase
of 1900 mules. or a net decrease OF
$50. 900 head in our work stock. Indi-
cations are that There was a still furth-
er decrease in the number or mares
bred in 1919. but the result OF such
decreased breeding will not be shown
until after the 1920 colt crop Is esti-
timated. II the decreased breeding in
1919 was as great as seems to be indl-
Gated. the estimate OF January l. 1921.
will show a further decrease in the

players would be fine players and most
interesting to watch by the end OF the
season. For all the matches would
improve their games and make them
very fine indeed.
Grandfather Frog was delighted
when he began to receive the different
invitations. They had been written on
leaves and the words were written in
mud. Every frog would understand
that kind # writing so much better
than writing on paper with words
written in ink or pencil.
The first tennis morning was given
at Mrs. Frank Frogs home. Her
stump and mud patch was beautifully
decorated with sticks and leaves and
she greeted her guests wearing her
best green morning frock,
81 am so glad to see you all" she
said. "Pray sit on the benches and
mud rugs have ready and soon young
frankie Frog will start the tennis
players. We're going to give this
beautiful leafy cup to the winner at
the end of the season."
Every one was delighted with the
tennis morning. Mrs. Frank Frog al
ways very good housekeeper had
most delicious things to eat. Her bug
sandwiches were pronounced to be the
best in many a day and the brook wa
ter in the little acorn cups was most
tempting.
Altogether whether frogs played ten
mis- on the marshy courts where there
were nets made OF sticks. or whether
they Just talked, they all had a thor
oughly good time. And Grandfather
Frog went around speaking TO every
one. carrying his best green top hat
and stick with the mud top with his
initials worked In It. and saying:
'ThIs is like the good old days. goog-
