BLOOMFIELD, IOWA,
Wednesday, April 25, '06.
I On that date we offer 51 Aberdeen Angus cattle at
^ptablic, auction at the H. H. Trimble farm. This should
prove a good sale, for we have catalogued a grand lot of
cattle. Included in this sale are 23 daughters of Black
Jam 8d. all with calves at foot or safely in calf. This
part of the offering alone is an attraction to please breed
ers. This will be the last chance to get many of Black
Jam's progeny in one sale. The whole female offering ig
very good. Every one with calf at font or safely settled
in calf, and manyrebred. The calves at foot are sired by
Black Jam 3d, the noted Blackbird bull the Queen
Mother bulls Quoque and Prince Ima'r.
The Entire Offering is a Strictly Useful Lot.
The bulls offered are the strongest consignment that
will be made at any Angus sale this year. They are
bred right, made rig^ht, and all have sufficient age and ac
companying good size to insure their purchasers of their
usefulness. They are ready for immediate service. Angu
bulls have proved that they are capable of siring the
mon^y-making, market-topping, prize-winning steers
Angus steers have topped the American Christmas niar
kets for fifteen successive years. Angus cattle have come
into public favor by their merits. They lead while others
follow. Come and secure a good bull he is half the herd.
The female consignment should appeal to the public with
equal force. They area useful breeding lot, just the class
of useful business cows and heifers^hat will prove rent
payers on the high-priced lands. A liberal portion of
them are rich in blood lines that have made the Angus
prominent as a breed.

To neglect backache, which is very
often the only outward sign that Na
ture gives of serious trouble in the
kidneys, is to give free reign to seri
ous disorders that may end in dropsy,
gravel, diabetes or Brlght's disease.
Yet this neglect of backache is very
a simple muscular trouble. They do
not seem to know that backache is the
most common symptom of kidney
complaint.
The kidneys (filters of the blood) lie
just beneath the small of the back, on
either side of the spine. *As soon as
there is any inflammation or conges
tion in the kidneys, you notice a feel
ing of uneasiness in the back, then
that dull, throbbing pain, changing to
sharp twinges when any sudden strain
is brought upon tho back. It is hard
Jo straighten after stooping, you feel
lame in the morning.
The urine shows early signs of the
disorder. It is pale and thin, or thick,
discolored and ill-smelling. Passages
are too frequent, day and night, or
scanty and very painful. A whitish,
stringy substance, or a sandy, brlcklsh
sediment, settles at the bottom of the
vessel.
