(Prepared by the United States Depart

While all breeds have the general
Form nnd characters of the type In
Which they are claused, all purebred
heep possess certain distinguishing
features which are Inherent In tin
jreed and which receive the attention
Of breeder. These breed characters
may have little value in themselves,
yet they are a mark of breeding and
Sire assurance that the anlmala will
reed true to type. Included In such
breed characteristics are such point
U alee, color markings, presence or
absence of horns, and peculiarity of
Chape. These differences make It es
sential for the different breeds to have
different score cards or standards of
excellence which give consideration to
these points. If one Is selecting pure
bred sheep for breeding purposes, he
most know the breed type as repre
sented by the excellence for the breed.
Score cards for the lending breed!
may be obtslned from the secretaries
of the breed associations listed In
Farmers' Bulletin 676, "Breeds of
Sheep for the Farm."
Whether one is breeding purebred
sheep or Is engnged In grading up a
common flock. In the selection of breed
ing stock he should consider the quali
ties the market demnnds for wool and
mutton. In addition to the application
of mnrket and breed ctandnrds, stock
Intended for breeding should be consid
ered from the point of view of prepo
tency In transmitting their good fea
tures and prolificacy in reproduction.
These qualities are Indicated by what
Is known as sex character.
To be a long-lived, regular, and pre
potent breeder, tlie ewe must have a
strong constitution and show a strong
maternal nature and present a femi
nine appearance. The ewe should
have finer features about the head and
a more slender neck than tlie ram.
She should have plenty of room for

Among Important recommenda
tions made by the National Live
Stock Kxchange Ht Its annual conven
tion, recently held In New York City,
wns th" furnishing of more stock cars

ed States. Also a recommendation
wan put on record thr.t the authori
ties in Washington provide lor the
furnishing of more money in western
hunks to take care of the Increased
production of live stock and that a
larger sum be appropriated by the

the authorities take up the problem
of furnishing mor ecold storage and
freexlng space to take care of the
lait'e runs of live stock to western
markets In the fall of the year.
These recommendations with
others were adopted unanimously by
the convention in session and various
committees were appointed to confer
with the proper authorities in Wash
ington. Much stress was placed by
the committee on the furnishing of
more stock cars and greater motive
power in the western country to take
care of stock that is ready for market
and for the furnishing of greater fa
cilities for taking care of the stock
after it has arrived at the market.
The bureau of markets, with head
quarters at Washington, has arrang
ed to take charge of all information
to outside markets on dally condi
tions of the live stock Industry In Chi
cago. As fast as arrangments can be
made the bureau will arrange to take

North American Moose.
The moose Is the largest living rep
reeentattrc of the deer family, and Is
found In North America. The elk Is
native of northern Europv and Is con
sidered by many zoologists to he the
same species, except that I? Is smaller.
A full grown moose may be six and
one-half to seven feet tall al the shoul
der and weigh 1,000 to 1,500 pounds.
Ori account of endurance and strength
the moose Is frequently symbolic, per
sons of unusual genjref being said to be
"As strong as a bull moose."
What Might Have Been.
"What are you worrying about?" "If
I eat eggs I think about the chickens
they would have produced, nnd If I
eat chickens I think about the eggs
they might have laid; and It's becom
ing difficult for me to enjoy anything."
"Bedlam."
Bedlam Is another exnmple of the
English fashion of telescoping words,
nnd comes from Bethlehem. The pri
ory of St. Mary of Bethlehem In Lon
don was converted Into a hospital for
the insane In 1402 nnd In the course of
time the name was shortened to Bel
lam, a word that came to be a synonym
for madhouse. To open the door nnd
let the Inmates escape would be "Bed
lam let loose," and frequently the
phrase Is used to describe intolerable
clatter and racket

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with urio acid, says a
well-known authority, who warns ua to
be constantly on guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork . they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog
and thus the waste is retained in the
blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel like
lumps of lead, and you have Stinging
pains in the back or the urine is cloudy,
full of sediment, or the bladder It irri
table, obliging you to seek relief during
the night; when vou have severe head
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleepless
neaa, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist about
four ninces of Jad Salts; take a
tablespoon ful in a glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in a few
days your kidneys will set fine. This
famous salt is made trotn the acid ol
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate dogged kidneys,
to neutralize the acids in urine so it is
no longer a source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia water drink, and nobody can make
a mistake by taking a little occasionally
to keep the kidneys clean sad active.
