Sheep Breeding Experiments.

The Wyndhem Farmer reports that a

very interesting expeiiment in sheep breeding is nbont to be made by E H Smith,manager of Redan EsUte, Wynd htm That gentleman hag in view the production of a superior class of sheep, both for wool and mutton, to what is ai present generally to be met with in these parts. He therefore proposes, in the first place, to put merino rsuis with tb» massive framed Romney tnd three* quarterbred ewes; The first cross should result in a type of haifbred wool that may be always expected to command an average marketable price. He will next cross these haifbred ewes with Shrop" shire rams, and thus secure the ideal mutton for the Homo market. That Mr Smith means business is shown by his recent purchase, at a high figure, of 18 highly bred merino rams from the famous Tokorabi Sock of Mr A A Mo- Master, North Otago. These animals are real aristocrats, having been kept absolutely pure in type and strain for the past 47 years, and are sprung from some of the most celebrated South Australian flocks. Mr McMaster'g merinos are noted for their ro bust constitution, . being built on much stouter lines than the "fine, combing" type of merino, and he hai been a uniformly successful exhibitor at the leading shows. The result of Mr Smith's experiment, which will un doubtedly be watched with much interest, should be available about 12 months hence, so far as the quality of the wool is concerned ; but another year, of course, must elapse ere the mutton type he has in view will be available- Mr Smith intends that hia Shropshire rams, like his merino, shall be of the highest quality. He has had a large experience in the breeding and management of sheep, and is sanguine that he is now proceeding on sound, practical lines. Should the results prove the faith that is in him, Mr Smith will be pronounced a benefactor to our sheep farmers, who will, no doubt, readily fall into the steps he is now marking out.

Why Women Fade

How is it that women do nob carry their years as well as men ? For a few years »he blooms like a moßt beautiful flower, shedding a radiance of light wherever she goes ; the eye i« freshened by the eight of her, and everything about her is tenoned by bewitching grace. But her reign is as short as the bowers, and she is soon left a care worn, ehramblmg wreck, her form bowed, her steps dragging, and her face wrinkled. Complaining of her unhappy existence and I envying the man his vigor, ehe goes down 1 to an early grave, believing that her trials I are a heritage from Mother Eve. One woman's experience may prove a thousand women's salvation. "About six weeks ago I first used Dr Morse's Indian Root Pills. I must say I found them a very superior medicine,'' writes Mra Harris, Fitzroy. Vie» tori*. "My complaint was peouiiar to women—languor, debility, and bilious at* tackf, which made my days p«rftooy wretched. lodeed, there were spells when I used to wonder ia the moroiog how I could set about my household duties, but they had to be done, and I would struggle through the d*y when I should have been in bed, You can imagine by all this how vary agreeably surprised 1 Was to get) such a very valuable medicine, es ppoift)!y after thi failure 'if many others.'

CLEMENT, of the iT-JL Taid, who is In the employ of the !Hutb County Council, relates his moat remarkable case as fellows :—"'To Pro- j psietor Plantekoa. Sir,—l feel it my duty both to you and also suffering humanity to make known the benefit 1 have derived from the use of Plantekoa. I have been under treatment for years for my kidneys, liver and chronic indigestion. Under examination the Doctors thought I had a floating kidney, and prescribed medicines and lotions for treatment, and in fact I have lodine and other things in the house now that was supplied to paint my back. In addition to the complaint mentioned I used to suffer at times most excruciating pains from neuralgia in the side and back. Beside the doctor's treatment I have tried almost countless Patent Medicines in the effort to get relief. I can honestly say than Piantekoa has made a new man of me, has cured the ailments above referred to, and I am now enjoying better health than I have done for years. Any farther information will be gladly furnished if desired. 1 wish to say also that Plantekoa Ointment has proved a wonderful friend to me. About six years ago after playing in. a football match my body became covered with pimples, which turned to chronic eczama. During those years I cannot describe the suffering caused nor yet count the number of ointments and the like that I tried to relieve this terrible complaint. When I used to perapire at my work, the smarting, itching and yet burning irritation would nearly drive me crazy. I have used Plantbkoa Ointment with result. I have not the slightest trace of the complaint left, and my skin is as clear as that of a little child. While in a very heated condition I put on another Footballer's jersey in mistake for my own, i I do not know if that had anything to do with starting my complaint, but a singular fact was that the irritation commenced at that time, and covered my body, arms and neck, while my face, legs and hands were free. Suffice to say that whatever way it came Plantekoa has cured it completely. It will be seen by my letter that I have had my share of suffering, and really the condition I have been in life waß nob worth living. After my experience PL \NTEKOA STANDS WITHOUT A EITAL."

THE following unsolicited Testimonial' by a gentleman well known iv j Ashburton speaks for itself:— Masberfcon, August 28,1901. Rosa Antidote Company. Dear Sirs, —I feel it mj duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favor of Ross Antidote for purifying the blood; I have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigeption, etc, My life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and , remedies, of which I had triei almost every known one but yours, and oae day some eighteen months asso a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked 'Jack, you look very ill' (and you may depend I was). He added,' Will you take some medicine if I procure lb ; II replied I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, ana I took it accordingly as directed, and to my delight I began to get well, and after taking three large bottles I was a new man—-thanks to your great discovery. I always keep it by me, and find a few I doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits. You can make what use you like of this. —I remain youra, etc, J H Pauling, Masterton May be obtained from Messes Fmtchee Bros and Shearman Bros, Ashburton 9 232 Manning & Uo's NEW SEASON'S BOTTLED ALES AND STOUT. j m QUARTS AND PINTS, j THB BBSTInIthB MARKET Eqwl to the Leading Brands of ENGLISH AIME. 1 Agents for Ashburton—Messrs Shbab MiN Bbob ]
