Since interests of na- tional importance wore at stake - such, 'for example, as the maintance of • the. high reputation of the- Trish -hems, the improvement of the td - ting qualities of the store cattle, and the milking properties of dairy oows-and. as these iteterests requir- ed that the otoek • of . the country shottld be considered as a whole, and should not, 'in public sehenies for its improvement, be attacked by the introdeetion of strains likely to have injurious general effects on the national breeds, it was seers- sary that these *Acmes should con - tin certain principles of uniform application to the whole country. It was, thenfore, necessary that the live stock schemesshould temanate from the central authority', while, in Particulars other Wan 'their na- tional foil:tires, they might be modi- fied in acco}dance with local "opin- ions and eireunestances.iin order to hive tbe assistance of the most re- presentative expert 'opinion in Ire- land in the formuletion of these sehemes, the Government appoint- ed two special advisery committees --sone for horses and the other for cattle, sheep and swine. Horse Breeding Scheme. The horse breeding scheme, as out- lined by the advisory committee- and -approved by the Agricultur a Board, peovided tor the fretistration of ouitable and sound thorowg abra4 and agricultural sires, and the sel- ection of a number of the best brood mares in each, oounty to be served bY these sire. The, owner of a registered stallion is entitled, un- der the scheme, to a fee of £3 for each selected -mare put to his -ta1- lion. The mares selected were the property of persons der i ving their meens of living from farming, wbose value don did not ecced in the pooree counties £150, and in the more wealthy counbies Z200. The firet year 410 stalliens were offered for registration, of which 298 were thoroughbred and 112 of 'the" agricultural type. From the first It was deemed advisable to spare no 'pains in making a searching ex- amination of the stallions offered ,for registration, and, accordingly, before any of the stallions offered -under tip scheme were accepted, the DepastAtnt'ssinspector bad to cer- tify, (1) is to suitability, and (2) as to the senind-ness of the animal. A register was published in March, 1901, whiCh contained the names and pedigrees of 97 thoroughbred and 31 agricultural stallions that had been accepted. Upwards of 1,800 free nom- ination tickets of ZS each were of- tered at 150 shows of mares held dur- ing Metall and April, and nearly 4,700 oe these tickets were issued. In ,addition to subsidising stal- ?inns by means of £3 nominations -to mares, the Department offered in a ,few ,counties, where there was an insufficient number of stallions for the purposes of the scheme prem- iums va,rin-g from £50 to _4100. Loans tor the Purehase of Stallions. In ,oder tes encourage farmers of small means to provtde themselves with a, registered stellion, a sum of money was alloted by tbe Depart- ment tor the purpose of granting loess for the purchase of approved sires. The money was lent a1 2 1-2 per cent interest, payable in five an- nual instalments. It was a ,conai- tion erecedent to those loans that the animal should be insured .for its full .market value. Premiunis for Female Stock. As a further means of encourag- ing improvement in stock breeding the Department adopted the princi- Plc Of awarding premiums and prizes to female stock. The advisory com- mittee on horse breeding pointed ouf that that industry in Ireland is, to a great exteht, by the young mares being fold out of the country, thus tearing only second class animals for breeding purposes, and the De- Pirtm wait adopted thesr reeammenda.. tion that the prizes eta premiums should be mainly confined to young mares, from two to six years old, served by a registered sire, in theti hope that the farmers would thee - by be irk&uoed to retain these mares. .• Yours truly, • W.

Cold seems to catch the kidneys more quickly than any other vital part of the body. Situated in the email of the back, near the surface of tbe body, they are readilystffected. Terrible pain and soreness in the back, thick, scanty urine, painful in passage and too frequent, sometimes puffiness under the eyes and swelling of the ankles, head- ache and disturbed digestion, are lattle of the symptoms following cold striking the kidneys, It is not wise in these cases to delay treatment. A prompt, effective remedy is needed, and the only one that can be de- pended On to quickly correct the trouble is DR. PITCHER'S BACKACHE --KIDNEY TABLETS. They are incomparable fcir all forms of kidney, bladder and urinary troubles, as the following statement convincingly proves : Mr. Chas, Rice, Welland, Ont., writes: "My work, constantly riding on a wag- gon and exposed to all kinds of weather, brought on a severe attack of backache and. kidney trouble, from which, though I tried other medicines, 1 got no relief. I procured a bottle of No Pitchees Back.. ache -Kidney Tablets and they fixed me up in good shape. The back is all right now, and the kidney complaint a thing of the past." 4 Dr. Pitcher's Bele. Tablets are sac, a bottle, or 3 for ;las, at druggists or by ,mall. The Dr. Zina Pitcber Co., Toronto, Ont. For ode by J.S. Roberti. druagiseSeeforth IMPORTANT NOTICES.
