Taking the entire country as a whole, the sheep industry is on the increase. In 1917 there was a net in crease of 2 per cent in the United ;tates over 1916, according to re ports of the Bureau of Crop Estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture, while the July 1, 1918, estimates show a 12.7 per cent in crease over the same date of the pre vious year. Further proof that the sheep industry has gathered impetus is shown by the record of wool pro auction, estimates for 1918 showing 257,921,000 pounds, as against 240, b73,000 pounds in 1917. Reason for Farm Trend. The increase in the farm States and the decrease in the range territory is due partly to the fact that range lands have increased in varue and the con Colds Cause Grip and Influenza LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE Tablets remove the cause.

Carolina Portland'| Charlest< tinuel hbmesteadiiig' has 'brokei up the areas which were onde in free range. In the -arm States also, the wool tpyo of sheep has given way to the wool and mutton varieties, which has- been the principal factor in bring ing about an increase. The decline in the sheep industry- on the western range should not be interpreted to mean that the business in that sectiqn is going to entirely disappear, for there is every reason to believe that the range country will always con tinue as an important sheep produc ing center. Large areas in western States will not economically lend themselves to any other grazing pur poses. Sheep which yield both wool and mutton are well adapted to more or less intensive farming. Farmers are beginning to realize that sheep of this kind fit admirably into a .ystem of nWied farming, and with the meat and wool markets becoming more stabiliz ed there is little need to become con cerned with the yearly market fluc tuations of these two products. Sheen on farms should be assured a larger place as they can successfully share with other stock in the economical and profitable utilization of farm crops, as well as being producers of valuable clothing material for which there is no complete substitute. Doubling our wool production would not render us independent of wool imports but would about meet the needs for military pur poses and a large part of that neede' for civilian uses. Mistake to Rush In. One of the chief drawbacks at the present time to a more rapid develop ment of the industry in the farming States is the lack of knowledge of good flock management. There is dan gen in the tendency to rush into this new line of farming, which increased prices have brought about, where ex perience is lacking.

Reasons Why you should use Cardul, the woman's tonic, for your troubles, have been shown in thousands of letters from actual users of this medi cine, who speak from personal experience. If the results obtained by other women for so many years have been so uni formly good, why not give Carlul a trial? " Take CARDUI The Woman's Tonic y Mrs. Mary J. Irvin, of Culler, Va., writes. "About 11 years ago, I suffered untold misery with female trouble, bear ing-down pains, head \ache, numbness . . . I would go for three weeks almost bent double , . . My husband went to Dr. for Cardul . . . After taking about two bottles I began going around and when I took three bottles I could do all my work." E-80 sheep, it must be remembered that sheep breeding is essentially a long term proposition and not a one season crop like wheat, corn, or oats; md should be entered into with this well in mind if disappointment and failure are to be avoided. Sheep require a small amount of high-priced grain compared with other farm animals. They utlize and thrive upon forage crops to a great extent and will make use of rough feeds about the farm which other stock will not eat. They require a small amount of labor also, which is one reason for the increase in the distry in the farm ing States. The rising prices of wool and mut ton since 1914 no doubt have added further impetus to sheep raising. Since the advance in price began be fore the war, it is fair to assume that the war is not to be given all the credit for this spirited activity and that the isTlustry is likely to enjoy continued fair prices for a consider able time after the conclusion of peace. W-S-S PLENTY OF ROOM FOR SHEE' There is plenty of room for the ex pansion of the sheep industry in the Central and Eastern States, and spe cialists of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture say that these States can do much to help the west crn range sheep raisers. in producing wool and mutton. A survey of the entire country reveals that there is immediate opportunity for increasing the sheep population to some extent in the rough and idle lands of the Ap palachian region, the cut-over timber hands of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michi gan, and the South Atlantic and Gulf States. There is also much to be done in improving the carrying capacity on many of the farms -here sheep are now being raised. The unimproved land in farms, amounting to nearly h'alf of their total area, offers consid erable possibilities for increasing the nubr ofse p Much of thisr land stock pastures, while other areas are wholly idle. They could be made to furnish fair summer grazing for slheep, andl with slight rearrangement in the cropp)ing system, andi the keep ing of other live stock, could be madie to furnish winter feed for sheep. TH IS IS COTTONSEED M EA L Cotton seedl meal is the richest in protein of all the common cowv feeds on the market. It is usually the cheapest source of protein available, but it (does not have the best phys io lIogicalI effect upon the cow, often causing digestive troubles if fed in large quantities for long pe~riodls. At first it is advisable to start with 1 to 2 pounds a (lay, gradually increasing the quantity if no bad results are ob :'erved. In some herds in the North as high as .5 to 6' pounds a (lay are fed without bad results. In the South there seems to lie no limit in this dJirection.
