THE Colorado Farmer speaks in encour-
aging terms of the success which has attend
ed the efforts Of Mr.. A. L. Relyea, in driv-
ing some 1000 sheep from Illinois to Colo
RADIO. 1t is said that they become thorough
ly acclimated by the time they arrived there.
The Farmer adds that they have never been
housed or fed grain or hay, and are, there
fore prepared to go through the winter as
well as Mexican sheep, while in breeding
and condition they are far in advance of any
Mexican sheep ever brought to the Terri
tory Western Rural.

SHEEP raising has had its ups and downs
like almost every kind of business, but it is
a question if any business has paid better for
a series of years. The rapid increase of
sheep is very favorable to farmers of small
means who wish to engage in wool-grow-
ing. Sheep raising is too much neglected
in the West. The animal that furnishes
clothing, food and light, which crops hill
sides too steep for other creatures to ascend,
is entitled to vastly more credit than it re-
ceives.-Uicago Times.

FREouENcY OF MILKING.

EEvGGJ1SSA w..
Nature establishes laws, and they cannot
be transgressed with impunity. She taught
the calf to relieve the udder frequently dur
ing the day and night, thus having the milk
fresh from its secretion, and moro
wholesome than when permitted to remain
in the bag, subject to the effect on the sys-
tenn of the heat in. summer. It also prevents
straining Of the ulder and other evils to
which a full bag is liable. Besides, there
seems to be IN absorption, or dissipation OF
the fatty material where the milk remains
long in the bag. The COW herselfis uncom-
Portable with the weight attached to her.
which, like excitement, either from hard
driving or fright lessons the secretion. Per-
feet quiet and rest, including the satisfaction
growing out Of comfortable circumstances,
embracing food and treatment. are demanded
for the highest success both in quantity and
quality of milk. The udder, then, must not
be so strained us to give Inconvenience to the
cow, who will come to be relieved OF the
pressure, if great. Instances of this kind
are not
Two milkings y day, even if they equally
divide the time, are not sufficient where there
is a maximum quantity of milk. There
should be at least three, early and late in the
day, and ut noon; in June AMI July at sum
rise anu sunset, which Will give nine hours
for the night, and seven and a half for each
half Of the day, instead of two strains Of
twelve hours each, or worse yet, not un1re-
quently fourteen or fifteen hours. Three
~milkings-one at noon in the cool stable
would prevent all inconvenience to the COW
and harm to the udder from being over
charged, or outward hurt from increased
liability. The milking will not take any
longer, except the excess that will be Sc
creted through this f~avoring practice. The
COWS will have to be brought up and re-
turned, and the milking pals washed, which
is all the extra labor, the dinner-hour favor.
ing the attendance of the hands. The milk
can be kept in the usual place, the evening
milk added.
1t will also give a chance for batting the
cows, a little green feed being grateful and
of benefit, and may lead to more time and
to more feed in the shade at midday, when
the heat is greatest, and often intolerable,
thus advancing toward soiling, Which, in
part at least-during the severe heat of the
day-every dairyinan and owner of COWS
ought to practice. There are certain cows
that give large quantities Of milk, which
from necessity must he MIXED three times q
day. There are, in each respectable dairy,
COWS that do require this, but do not get it.
Not only these urgently demand it, but all
fair to good COW if they were relieved three
times a day Of their milk, would, beyond
any question, sufficiently increase their milk
to pay for the extra expense Of labor, to say
nothing OF the comfort and the benefit re-
sulting to the cows.-Cor. of Rural Nep

HINTS FOR JANUARY.

All the frlgiu elements constituting winter
having set in for a period of three or four
months, it behooves the husbandman to be-
stow the kindest attention on all his live
stock. Warmth is life, and cold is DEATH"
is an old truism that still holds good; there
fore, the colder the atmosphere that SUR
rounds the animal, the more food is required
to keep up the heat internally-thc %life-sus-
tanning heat.
From this hint we see that keeping the
animal warm is saving food, and saving food
is saving money. Here is the hinge on which
all our labor turns-to save money. The
farmer that does not save at every point in
his business mo grow rich, and here is Il
point upon which many farmers are very de-
%linquent.
We frequently see on a stormy, freezing
day, cattle standing beside a fence, or the
side of building, with arched backs, shiv-
ering with cold, nothing to eat, while the
owner is sitting by a warm fire enjoying all
the comforts of life. He looks through the
window and sees the poor, helpless .brutes
thus suffer, but eases his conscience
by knowing that his father and grand
father treated their stock just so; and if
they could bring them through till spring,
all right.
Now, aside from the inhumanity of this
treatment, there is 4 great loss in dollars.
The stock is worth less money in the spring
than it was at the commencement of winter,
with no profit on the food it consumed. All
that and many dollars worth of flesh has
gone for nothing.
We have seen many a siX-months-old calf
in the fall worth more money than it
would sell for in the neXt spring, by
being wintered in this way. Can any
farmer expect to grow rich by pursuing such
a system?
There IS but one way to remedy this, and
that is by erecting warm stabling and keep
ing the stock under shelter in cold and
stormy weather; feed and water regularly,
Just enough to satisfy the appetite and none
to waste-make the animal worth as much
more in the spring as it was in the fall, as its
keeping would have sold for. This is the
way to make money raising stock, and there
Is no other.
See that the stables are properly ventilated
so that the accumulation of foul air may be
prevented. There should be a way to draw
of foul air and fresh air will find Il way to
fill its place. Foul air must be pulled, not
pushed therefore we must create a draft,
commencing at the locality where the foul
air has accumulated at the bottom. Break,
or cut a hole one foot square in the back
of your stable, near the floor. Outside OF
this, erect a tunnel Of dry boards attached
to the wall, carried to the top of the build
ing. Close to the bottom so that no other
air can enter but that coming from the sta
BILE through the hole in the wall. This will
draw Off all the foul air Of that stable, and
the fresh air will rush in through every crew
ice to supply its place; or III inch may be
sawed of the top of the door. This system
is based on true science and canno fail

BUSINESS PROSPECTS.

Rufus Hatch, who is perhaps one of
the shreWdest stockholders of New
York, gives it as his opinion that a
change in the business situation is
about to be realized. He says the
flood tide is now coming. The pro-
duction of 100 millions of gold and sill
yer OH the Pacific coast, which will
certainly take place during the first
year of the second Centennial, and the
increase in each succeeding year, will
be the commencement of an imitation
to which the printing of greenbacks
was only an inception of what must
ultimately ensue. Money to-day in
London, the great financial centre OF
the world, is from l to 1-2 per cent.
per annum. The banks of F4ance and
England have over $500, ,000, 900 of gold
in their vaults. Three and four per
cent. will be considered a very high
dividend security at no distant day.

and soda water, then crossed the street
with the intention OF entering the
house. Just as Mr.. Lawton was STEP

revolver and shot his father twice in
the back, and then, as he fell, he threw
up his hands and implored his son,
''For God s sake don t shoot any more, -
but his son took deliberate aim and
fired two more shots, when he was
grabbed by two men who had rushed
across the street and delivered over to

Yesterday Sheriff Bond was guilty OF one
oil the most cowardly and brutal acts il
has been our duty to chronicle for long
time
Fond is a large, coarse, uneducated man
with an amount Of conceit in him never
seen in a gentleman. lie has the swaggeI
and general appearance OF the bully in
his manner, and Yesterday demonstrated il
by an assault upon one who for years has
not recognized him.
The ruffian's attack was witnessed by J.
B Davis, James Franks, and others. 1t
was made without provocation. Such con-
duct may be expected from one who sus-
tanned and patronized the cowardly assassin.
All attempts of this bully to brow-beat,
only stamps more plainly upon his counte.
nance the character OF the man. The
TINES has refrained from publishing many
acts perpetrated by this fellow, which
would reflect upon him, because it desired
not to notice him.
His action yesterday, however, was 50
brutal, and his official position was SO wan
tonly dishonored in being represented by a
street bully, that we feel it our duty to no
tice the coward Sheriff of Leavenworth.
He has carried bis malice and personal
hate into his official acts, and it is best that
the people should know his true character.
If the bully comes to his senses, and in the
future restraints his dirty, lying tongue, We
shall let him alone. We regret having to
notice him now, but the villainous intent
of yesterdays assault could be seen in the
wicked eye Intense hate and ungoverna-
bic passions let loose betray the absence of
all the noble qualities Of manhood, and
bare the corruptions OF the heart to the pub
