NEWSPAPER MEN IN EUROPE.

1t can not but be gratifying to the
Knights of the Pencil in this country,
howsoever their labors may be under
estimated here, to know that their breth-
ren in the old world are reaping deserved
honors
In England and France the governing
power Of the press is acknowledged
by the honors conferred upon even
its humbest agents. Sir Garnet
Wolseley, who has recently taken COM
mand of operations in Zululand,
took with him as one of the principal
officers of his staff Lieutenant Colonel
Henry Brockenbury, r. A. Colonel
Brockenbury distinguished himself as
the war correspondent of the Standard
in the Franco-Prussian war, and has
since pursued his calling during the
Ashantee war, and in writing up the
Island of Cyprus since its acquisition by
Great Britain. He now occupies the
foremost position amongst the staff off
GERS of the English Army. The recent
anniversary of the death of Mr.. Mac
Gahan, Turko-Russian correspondent
of London journal, was solemnized by
a general fast by the Christian popula-
ton of the Balkan Peninsula.
1t is said that the letters and telegrams
Of Archibald Forbes, another correspon-
dent Of London papers, have more in
fluence in England than the speeches of
Cabinet Ministers. The celebrated Bull
Ben. Russell, who enjoyed on the London
Times a salary fully equal to that Of our
early Presidents, has exchanged his post
on that paper and gone out to the Zululand
as correspondent of the London Tcle-
graph, now one of the abIest and most
influential journals published in Great
Britain.
Newspaper men are also found promin-
ent in other branches of active life. Sir
Edward Watkin, NJ. P, a prominent
railroad official, both in connection with
English and American roads, is an old
journalist and one of the founders of the
Manchester Examiner. Sir Garnet
Wolseley owes great part of his popu-
larity to the fact that he is a popular
writer on military subjects, as well as a
good practical military man.
In France, more particularly than in
England, perhaps, the newspaper writer
comes conspicuousIy to the front, as wit
ness the names of Thiers, Gambetta
CASTELAR,, Louis Blanc and score of other
political leaders who have won their way

THE Department of Agriculture re-
ports that the direct losses to sheep
owners by the ravages of dogs reach
S,00O,O0O annually in the mutton and

loss by the Encouragement Of sheep,

southwest, where they might be made
remunerative may be estimated at double
the direct loss above stated. 1t is un-
pleasant, we admit, to turn over an

to be destroyed, but if judicious course
of treatment could be adopted toward

time to make itself friends we might,
perhaps, give lift to the sheep interests

CoNKLINGs friends say Waterson is
hostile to him because the New York
Senator refused to dine with the Ken
tucky editor during the winter of 1911.
The further intimation that the Senator
stood aloof from Democratic influence at
that time is not in accord with accepted
history. There is on the contrary a
prevailing belief that at that time there
was pretty general understanding be-
tween Mr., Conkling and the Democrats
and that he was much more friendly to
Tilden than to Hayes. This belief is
strengthened by Tilden's continued
friendship to Conkling, and especially
the aid given him in his last contest.

Wire Binders.

We take from the Lawrence journal
of the 18th inst. the following: Many
of the rcaping machines that do the
binding into sheaves, also use wire for
binding, and the presence Of this wire
in small pieces in the wheat after thresh-
ing has been very annoying to millers.
But way has been found out of the
difficulty by the invention of simple
and exceedingly ingenious device, con-
sisting of two gangs of horse shoe mag
nets, four in the one and five in the 9TH
er, placed IN spout through which the
wheat passes. The process of extract
my wire from the wheat in this manner
was exhibited before the Miller's Assoc
citation in session in St. Paul, last FRI
day. The Press of the 9Th instant says ::
by the sevcrcst tests il was dcmonstra-
ted that every particle of wire was AS
rested. Numerous pieces, from the size
of pin head TO an inch in length, were
counted and mixed with quantity of
wheat, and being passed through the
spout the exact number would be found
ON the magnets. The n,illers were
highly pleased with the workings Of the
simple device. and il will undoubtedly
be introduced into all the mills. The
chief point of interest in this matter Is
the fact that this is not a patent, nor
have its projectors any to sell. Ii is
merely hint to milers that with the
outlay of few dollars they can them
selves put magnets into their mills
which will obviatc the objections hither-
to raised against wire binding harvest
ing machinery.

Smut in Wheat and Oats.

What is smut in wheat! Is il para
site! What is the remedy! Is smut
in oats the same as smut in wheat: BY
answering the above you will very great

Great Bend, January IL.
Smut in wheat and oats are the devel-
ments of a parasite fungus plant known
technically as ''Ustillago typhoides."
This parasite is not confined to wheat
and oats, but is found also infesting the
grain of barley, rye, millet, and many
kinds of grasses.
There are reasons to suppose that rust
in wheat is another development of the
same fungus. Ii gets its name (smuD
from the black dirty mass into which
the germ is converted, under its influ-
cnce at an early stage of its growth.
From the fact that this fungus is prop
ogated from the spores which, adhering
to the seed are sown with il. various
remedies looking to the destruction of
these spores are employed with good
effect.
One writer reports that in his section
Western New York-the seed wheat
was washed in strong. hot brine, and
then dried by mixing with air Stacked
lime. and no smut was seen afterwards
in the crop.

A Few Remarks About Sheep

The sheep market here shows signs OF
strength, which are very gratifying,
but we can but hope that there will be
an immediate and much greater I'M
provement than has yet been seen. For
those who have in hand choice, ficshy
but not over fat sheep Of heavy weight,
the prospect is good. The winter in
England and Scotland has been unusual

up to their usual condition, so that there
will be from Great Britain larger de-
mand than ever for our best mutton an
finals. The only thing there is 10 regret
In this connection is the singular apatb.
shown by our farmers on the subject
For years we have urged the necessity
of producing a class of sheep suited 10
the wants of the mutton consumer here
and abroad. In this work the agricultu.
raj press has helped. but to our impa.

Farmers Horses.

We have always combated the idea
of the ordinary farmer attempting to
raise fast trotters or running horses
that must be left to the gentleman OF
leisure, who has plenty of money, and
breeds horses simply to crafty his
tastes, or as a recreation. But the man
who depends on the product of his
farm for living cannot afford to in
dulge in any such luxury as breeding
for speed has proved to bc. But there
is a class of horses that farmers can
raise with certain profit, and that is
tue heavy, blocky. compact, active
quick-stepping horse, weihging from
1900 to 1000 pounds. No man ever
raised horse Of that description at ;
loss, and farmer never raised such a
horse that would not readily sell al
handsome profit. 1t is the little, spindle
shankcd, lank. long-legged weed thai
remains on the farmers hands-a drug
in the market-an unsafcable, useless
product.-Fdymer.

Wheat.

The wheat crop has many enemies
and mishaps, and among them not the
least is safe delivcrance from the frost
of winter. While protected with COW
cring Of snow the young plants arc
shielded from the action Of frost and
wind. Ifexposed by sudden thaw the
young plants are very tender, and a
sharp frost, which is almost sure 10 fol-
low rapid thaw, will destroy and in
jure the wheat to an incalculable extent.
And March, with its drying winds, is
one of the most trying Ordeals for the
young wheat. Early sown wheat, with
a propitious autumn, goes into winter
quarters strong and vigorous, and has
many odds in favor of its coming out
vigorous in the spring, and pushing for
ward rapidly.-Kdnsas Farmer.

Butter, What Is TIP

J. F. 4. in the St. Louis journal o.
agriculture, says:
In the long list of agricultural com
moditics, perhaps there are none to
which is attached greater Importance
than that OF butter; nor are there any
that have received the attention of sci
entists, and the methods of its manufac'
ture been improved to the same extent
during the past decade. But as this
butter of which we speak is of many
different kinds. some good, some bad
and some of positively pernicious ten
dency. all and each of which are TO To-
found i'm market in competition, it j,
plainly matter Of the greatest impor
lance that we know what good butter
is, how made. and then produce nothing
but this quality. Especially is this true
in regard TO the young farmer, or those
whose active duties in other depart
ments Of farm life have prevented then
from the privilege of experiment and
observation.

been the popularity enjoyed by these

can we make such an attractive article:
There is knack in it. Our butter sells
