sIedin Declines Running for Con-

CHICAGO, October 2l.-Mr. Medill Of
the Trb,me, publishes card this morn
ing, withdrawing his name from the con-
test for the Republican Congressional
nomination. In his card, Mr.. Medill says:
At the solicitation and persuasion Of
many OF the best citizens OF Cook coun-
tv, was induced a fortnight ago quite
reluctantly to consent to permit my
name to be used in connection with the
candidacy for Congress, before the
ensuing Republican Convention. have
coupled this consent with the distinct
condition that ! would not, under any
circumstances, enter into struggle for
the control of the Convention 10y the
employment of any means that ! deemed
disreputable or corrupt; that | would
purchase no votes and pack no ward
delegations that | would give no i'm
proper pledges to individuals, cliques or
rings. aud bargain away no patronage
or official influence supposes to attach
to the Office of Congressman. II
elected thereto, insisted that l
must be left as free and untrammelled
to do my duty according to my
conscience and convictions as when you
sent me to the Constitutional Conven.
ton, so that | might have but one ann,
one ambition. and that to serve you
to the best of my honor and ability. l
did not under estimate the gravity and
responsibility of the position, nor the
difficulty in filling it usefully and
acceptahlv, nor was blinded by
sny vanity or egotism to suppose that
/ could better represent you
than many other men among
whom YOU might make your choice.
| had nothing TO promise but the honest
efforts of plain unpretentious man,
who would be guided by conscience,
common sense and patriotic purposes
Within the past week it has be
come apparent that my nomination
was being resisted by the employment
of means and influences which | can
not consent to combat, and my friends
will be forced to contend against appli-
ances that will render free and un-
biased selection of candidate simply
impossible. In accordance with my
original purpose, cannot consent to
let nv name go before the Convention
under such circumstances.

factured from Irish Moss, by the Rand
Sea Moss Farine Co, has been placed
on our table at different times, and
proves to be one of the best, most nu-
tritious and easily-digested OF all the
farinas now in use. 1t is palatable to
the taste, is lighter and less compact
that any other farina, and hence better
adapted to weak stomachs, to dyspep-
tics, to invalids, and all persons OF trali
constitutions. In cases where tapioca,
sago, barley, corn starch, maizena, and
similar articles are beneficial, the Sea
Moss Farine is not only substitute,
but has advantages which neither OF
them possess, because the main ingre-

Improve Your Sheep.

Most men who breed sheep are accus-
toned to isolate the rams about the first
of August, and return them to the flock
again about the first Of November, or
later, as The latitude may determine.
Through the middle tier of States, the
first of April is probably the best time
for spring lambs. The mothers need
green food as soon as may be after their
Young are dropped, and that is gener-
ally ready from the Goth of the month
to the first Of May. Further north, as
the weather is colder and the starting
of the grass much more backward.
To keep the flock constantly improv-
ing, the first necessity is to.
CHANGE BUCKS FREQUENTLY.
We would suggest every year, if it is
possible, to make a selection from
a foreign flock that shall equal or
own
Another way is to hire a thorough
bred ram at any reasonable cost, and
thereby introduced into your flock
blood that will improve it, always keep
ING in mind, when the selection
of sire is made, what you
propose to do with the progeny
that shall come from this animal. One
whose aim it is to get earl Y and good
lambs for market would not introduce
merno blood; or, if he wanted fine
wool, neither a Cotswold nor South
down.
Not less in importance is
BREEDING FROM THE BEST EWES.
ANY flock of sheep will deteriorate
unless the best are saved for breeders
Seven seasons are enough for even the
best of sheep to be used for mothers.
After nine years old, they lose so much
of their vitality and their milk producing
qualities, that the lambs are generally
below the average: As soon as the
lambs are weaned-which should be by
the middle of April-all the eve sheep
in the flock that are not of suitable age,
of suitable form, and of suitable health
for mothers, should be taken out and
in some way be disposed Of They can
generally be fattened in fall or early
winter. and either sold to the butchers,
or. if the number is not too large, can
be consumed in the family, in lieu OF
more salaLle hut not more nutritious
meats.
The place of these thus discarded
should he always filled from the best of
the lambs, if it is desirable to keep the
flock about the same size. Hundreds
of farmers who sell early lambs
are guilty OF the folly Of sell
ing the best, and allowing those
that will not sell to 90 through
the winter, and eventually become
mothers. This would seem to be a
saving, bnt it is, instead, suicide.
When the best are saved for breeders,
the flock is constantly improving; when
the poorest are permitted to become
such, there is gradual deterioration
and an ultimate (to use an expressive
phrase) running out.
No farmer is worthy the name and
age who is not always on the alert &c
make both his farm and stock upon Il
better. 1t does not require capital to dc
this so much as it does care, and in the
end the best farming and the bes
stock-raising pay the best; and TO th'
bottom line all eventually comes.
