"This brought us to his practice of feed
ing sheep. He had just bought about
300 wethers. Hesunsually fed about $50
head, and this practice he had followed
for at least the past twelve years. He
usually raised say from 40 to so acres of
corn per ann'im, and he thought that
every bushel of it, had brought him a
doller per bushel by feeding it.
THESE sheep were separate from his
flock kept for wool, which were merinos.
and now averaged seven to seven and a
half pounds of fine wool per head. The
foundation of the shearing flock came
from the farm of Charles E. Stuart. and
be. had kept them up and improved them
by thefuse Of improved bucks, and by the
practice Of sorting and selection.
"He believed there was more profit in
feeding sheep than in feeding cattle-at
least; that was his experience; but he had
had more experience with sheep The
reason why some lost money in feeding
sheep, was because they had failed in the
practice. They did not feed right. They
Kept too large a number in a flock. He
bought usually during the last month of
summer, and turned them into good feed.

but kept them up in flesh Commenced

corn, in order to get them accustomed to

fodder to these sheep; did not feed much
hay. But his intention was to convert
all his fodder into manure, and market
| his own corn on his farm. Such sheep
should be fed not more than forty in a
pen, and he dwelt particularly on the
Isproprlety of keeping one attendant, who
I would soon be known to the sheep, and
in keeping the sheep quiet in the pens,
where they should have access to water.
They naturally are a quiet animal, and
under this method of feeding would GER
tainly increase in weight of carcass.
He laid much stress on keeping their
troughs clean. Thus he gained the ma
nure; he sold mis- coarse fodder and
marketed his grain on his farm. He cot
all the profit there was in the business,
and he never had lost cent feeding
sheep. Of course he had to watch and
never run his sheep into glutted mar

Riding on a Whales Back.

The most striking fish story recently is
thus conveyed in special telegram from
Plymouth Mass, to the Boston Herald:
An adventure so singular in its char
acter happened to citizen of this town
this morning that, without the knowledge
of the parties and the evidence of those
near, it would be set down as a Mum
chausen tale. Mr.. D.. Finny, with his
neighbor, ANGEL Bartlett, were off Gun
ners' Point, South Plymouth, coot shoot
ing. They were in separate dories, as
far apart as boats usually are in that
sport, when humpback whale rose some
distance off and spouted. He rose again
nearer the boat, and Mr.. Finney thought
by the direction he was taking that the
next time he came up he would come
ahead of the boat, and he would give HIM
a shot. While waiting for him to come
up, kneeling in the bottom of the dory,
he felt a shock, and, as he expresses it,
found himself on the whales back dry
shod. The next thing he knew, he went
down, and came up on the other side of
his boat. Probably the whale sank when
he found he had rider, and drew the
man with him. When he came up he
was near Mr.. Bartlett's dory, and was
taken into his boat. Throughout the
whole he had held on to his gun, and
brought it on board with him.

There comes to us a story Of the death
of beautiful woman, whose mind was
somewhat given to the contemplation of
the styles. While she lay sick she was
particular about color and light and the
general tone of the room. and never re-
ceived visitor without red or blue
shawl thrown across one shoulder and part
Of the pillow, to keep her from looking
'like a deaths head" She didn't intend
to die, and didn't want to die, 'sIt was
such Disseminating process" she de-
clared. When itlwas discovered that she
must die, her husband broke the news to
her very gently. She was little dis
tressed, but not much agitated. She had
only one request to make. It was, "My
darling don't let that horrid MRS.
make my outfit. Her fits are sickening,
and she over-trims terribly; besides, she
will be sure to spell myrtle 'm-u-r-t-e-l' in
the bill"

Wheat and sheep

Mr.. E. o. Humphrey, President of the
Michigan State Agricultural society, was
lately interviewed by the editor of the
Michigan Farmer, with this result:
"We must" said he, escape the mis-
take made in Ohio and New YorkAby ,ex-
hausting our lands of the material to grow
wheat. We must not only keep up our
soil at the standard at which we found it
but we must do more than this-we must
add power and fertility toit. Where we
produce 20 bushels we must produce SO
bushels of wheat. We must make so
acressdo the work of one hundred acres.
That is the main change towhich I re-
fer.'' VA
Gle then explained the advantage
and profit that would arise from such a
change.
In the first place, if you make so
acres do the work Of 100, you have SO
acres left for something else, or you may
let it lay idle. Where you now sow it
all to wheat, under the change I propose
you could have SO acres of wheat and
raise Just as much, and 80 acres of | corn corn
oats, or barley. But, if you cultivated
only SO acres and got as many, bushels
off from it as you previously did off from
100, there would be great saving in ex-
pense Of labor, sowing and reaping the

Information from Fort Walsh to the
18th inst. via Fort Benton has been received
at Chicago, which says: The commission has
met Sitting Bull and utterly failed to obtain
any satisfaction or terms Of settlement from
him. Sitting Bull is described as, a, swarthy,
black haired, beardless, pure-b looded savage,
with an air of judicial gravity and intelli-
gence. He continually fears treachery on the
part of the Americans and distrusts his own
tribe when they are near He refused to
shake hands with the commissioners and said
he wanted them to set out in full view and
not behind the tables. They compiled and,
Gen. Terry addressed them, stating the OBJ
jects Of the ivisit-namely that the president
wished hostilities to cease forever, for the
sake of all parties. If the Indians would re-
turn and refrain from hostile acts against the
government free pardon would be given for
past acts, no attempt would be made to pun
ish them and the past would be forgotten.
This the President promised. He went on to
say that all other hostile Indians had now sur
rendered to the United States authorities and
had received no punishment whatever, but
had been received as friends. They had re-
ceived and would receive the proceeds of the
sale of their horses and arms, and had been
presented with cows and otherwise received
honorable and just treatment. The same
terms were offered Sitting Bulls people,
The savage warrior smiled broadly at the
mention of surrender. The speech produced
no effect Tie offer of peace was rejected.
