Of Kansas, we should unhesitatingly
answer, more tame g1ass-more blue

more clover. During the months of

rapidly than will the prairie grasses

PROFIT i'm Feeding Sheen.


At recent meeting of the Farmers
Club in Batavia. Genssee county, N.
T., Mr.. George Burt presented the fol-
lowing definite statistics relative to
the cost and profit Of feeding sheep for
market:
He paid for 200 sheep for fatteniug,
1915; for keeping two months, S64 {;
eight tons hay, SIG per ton, $128; four
loads cornstalks, SIG; 148 bushels
corn, 60 cents per bushel, $50; one
barrel salt, s.; interest on money in
vested, $@:76. Total, $1,227.55.
January 18th he sold III sheep at 6
cents per pound, 1,522.4O; IS at 81
cents per pound, e171.79; one pelt,
$1.50, total 81, 706: SO; profit on the 200
sheep, $478.14. Mr.. Burt holds that
sheep in winter should be kept in
small focks, less rather than more
than 65 in flock, in yards where they
can have free access at all times to
water; and they should be kept free
from all disturbing or exciting causes !;
that open sheds are better for them
than close barn, and thatit is best to
feed grain to them whole.

Salt Lake and the MOrmOns to he Swal.
lowed In.


A newspaper correspondent who has
been "doing" Salt Lake for the benefit
of his influential and widely circulated
journal-we believe that is the custo-
mary expression-propounds the start
ling theory that the Mormon question,
which has caused our government no
little vexation of spirit, is to be settled
after the fashion of dealing with wick
edness few thousand years ago, the
difference being that, instead of rain
Of forty days and forty nights, there
will be an 0ut-p0uring of water from
tho lake, which need not last more
than forty minutes to be effectual. One
sensation-mOngor says there is no
known outlet to the Great Salt Lake.
that over dozen rivers empty into it,
and that the water in the lake has risen
twenty feet since the Mormons first
entered the valley. The first few years
of their settlement they used to 90 in
swimming on Black Rock, and this
rock is now hundred feet from the
shore and surrounded by water fully
twenty feet deep. Over twenty years
ago the Mormons drove herd Of cattle
over to Church Island, which proved q
wonderful grazing ground. They
found a ridge extending from the main
land to the island covered by three feet
Of water. To-day the ridge is over
twenty feet deep, and thousands of
wild cattle roam over the valleys and
gorges of the island, none having been
taken to the mainland for years. At
some time, the writer adds, the water
has filed the whole Salt Lake Valley.
A rim or shore.line is visible on the
side OF the mountains thousands of feet
above the city. This rim is so plainly
defined that q railway could be built
on the side of the range for miles at a
stretch without excavating a ton of
rock. Who knows how soon some con-
vulsion of nature, such as the earth
quakes SO frequent in California, may
suddenly close the subterranean outlet
to the Pacific Ocean, and precipitate a
waste OF waters upon the City of the
Plains2

Cholera Raging Among the Russian Col.
OnlStS In Dakota.

From tho Sioux City Journal, Sept. 10.
-Four unmistakable deaths from chol-
era occurred in Yankton on Monday
last. One of the victims was a niece
of DR.. Vanderhule, of this city, who is
our informant. He further saws this
awful scourge is raging to a fearful
extent among the Russian settlers on
Jim River, 20 or 80 miles from Yank-
ton. This confirms the statement
which MIR. Bradley made to us few
days since, OF a very fatal epidemic
raging in that particular region. There
were four deaths upon the day of his
visit. This settlement is made up
principally of Russian emigrants re-
GENTLY from the old country, and no
doubt they brought the seeds of this
most terrible scourge with them.

Curing Corn.Fotlder.


Corn-fodder is often rendered of lit
tie value by the careless and slovenly
manner in which farmers manage. It
is usually cut off at the ground and set
up in small stocks; much Of it often
falls down before husking time, and
becomes weather beaten. When it is
husked, the stalks composing the
stocks are bound in sheaves and set up
in masses about the field, with no care
to exclude rain, the tops of these
shocks being entirely without bands to
draw them to an apex. So they are
left for weeks, while every fall of rain
passes through them from top to bot.
tom; and thus by the time they are
carted to the barn, they be-
come musty and of little val
ne. On the contrary, rain should
be as carefully excluded as from cured
hay. A correspondent says: Gas a
general rule prefer topping my corn
and stacking the top stalks in small
parcels, set up in the field among the
corn the same day, drawing them to-
gether at the top to a sharp point with
out cap sheaf. They cure perfectly
in this way, even if the weather should
be unfavorable, and diffusing pleasant
odor through the barn when fed to
stock in the winter, little inferior to
that of the best cured hay. On this
kind of fodder I propose to keep my
horses and cattle during the coming
winter, having cut no hay, nor intend
ing to provide any,"
