within his means and gave it good care; it increased his returns 100 per cent.
 While there are numerous similar cases and frequent greater successes, the general averages mentioned are presented as the best indication of profits to be reasonably expected. Briefly, good purebreds are more eff cient than other stock, but their earn ing power in each case depends on two chief factors-Q) Their own quality, and (2) the human factor. especially skill in management. The evidence gathered by the Department shows that livestock owners are becoming more and more inSiStent on records of production as a means of distin- gushing desirable purebreds from those of less merit.
 The inquiry shows that for the most part purebred animals of good type are readily Obtainable. But special requirements or desire for the less common breeds generally involve some difficulties and higher prices.
 About 9S per cent of the purebred livestock owners reporting to the De partment were satisfied both with the purebreds themselves and the progeny, except when they expressed the de- sire for still better stock. AS one breed. CT explained, the desire for improve. ment is necessary for progress. A few had unfortunate experience with purebreds of inferior quality and point ed out the need for making selections with great care. Practically all re- ports agreed on the principle that su- perior quality among purebreds them selves is invariably worth a higher cost

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other or. gans to become diseased. .
 Pain in the back, headache, loss of am- bition, nervousness, are often times symp- toms of kidney trouble. %
 Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, physicians pre- scription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Get medium or large size bottle im- mediately from any drug store.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. r., for ample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Advertisement.

 The foregoing are a few results of a recent inquiry conducted by the bureau of animal industry, United States Department of Agriculture. The figures are based on about 25,000 head of breeding stock owned by 525 expert enced livestock owners. Besides, the same persons own 30,000 fowls on All of these stOckmen have for several years-an average of nine-used pure bred sires to head their herds and fiOcks. More than that, about 30 per cent of their female stock has been purebred. A small proportion of the remaining females are scrubs, the oth- CTS being grades and crossbreds. Thus the persons furnishing the Department with their experiences were in a posi- tion to supply dependable information. Figures Are Conservative.
 The figures mentioned were obtained during the. last part of 1921 in peri cd of marked depression in the live stock industry. Partly for that req son they are considered conservative even though pointing to an unusually high value of purebreds over com mon stock.
 The purpose of obtaining this new information was to supply an increas- ing demand for facts of greater scope than single shOrt-time observations. With the development of the Federal State campaign for Better Sires- Better Stock the Department has re-

 Purebred live stock has about 40 per cent greater earning power (apart from its breeding or sale valhe) than scrub stock.
 The superiority of purebreds on a utility basis is due principally to: Better conformation and quality, in- creased production, more economical production, and earlier maturity.
 When purebred sires are used to im- prove farm live stock the offspring is more salable than that of nOn-purebred
