Sheep for Men Of Small Means.

Perhaps there is no department of
husbandray that offers as many in
ducements to men of small means as
the raising of sheep, whether the OBJ
jcct be to produce wool or mutton,
says the Live Stock Record. A
flock of young ewes, if properly car
ed for, will ordinarily double every
year. If the stock is poor at the
start, it may be brought up to high
degree Of excellence in three or four
years BY tho use of choice bucks.
1t costs less to procure sufficiently
large number of sheep to require the
services of a man to take care of
them than is required to raise. suf-
fic;ent number Of any other animals
to demand one mans attention, If
we except swine. Nothing can be
derived from cattle and horses until
they are three or four years, old, but
sheep begin to pay when they have
reached the second summer from
their birth.
To raise horses, mules or cattle
one must have considerable capital,
Or he must waitSeveral years before
he has sufficient number of animals
to give him any support. If one can
obtain fifty sheep, however, he may
in three or four years have a flock
that will prodnce a good income.
To start grain farm requires still
larger capital. Lands must be
bought, fences built, buildings erect
ed, plows, seeders and reapers purch-
ased and seeds obtained. At least
one first-class team must also be
bought. To procure all these things
requires more capital than most men
possess. To compete with others in
raising corn and small grain, it is
now necessary to own somewhat
costly tools and machinery, and to
have coed lands on which to raise
the crops.
Sheep may be raised on very poor
land--that is, on land that is not
adapted to raising corn or grain.
There are tens of thousands of acres
of lands in this and adjoining States
that are well adapted to raising
sheep, which now is too hilly or
rocky to plow to good advantage.
There are large tracts of this land
on which one could pasture sheep
for years without being molested.
Most spectators would like to have
sheep kept on land of this sort, as it
would be impaoved by their pres
ence. They would prevent the
growth of weeds and bushes, and
wonld return to the soil more than
an equivalent for what they consume.

The State High School Board, find.
ing that the Legislature had appro-
priated $4,000 for two years instead
of that amount for each year. deci-
ded to select twenty out of the forty
schools, applying for aid under the
provisions of the law. The Board
selected according to population and
qualifications. If they meant the
the population of the places where
the schools are located, that matter
was easily determined. They pro
baby guessed at the qualifications;
at least they did not visit some of
the schools and they, of course,
guessed at the standing of those. The
schools selected are St Cloud, Mon
ticello, Duluth, Mankato, st. Peter,
Wells, LeSueur, Rushford, Mantor-
vile, Red Wing, Austin, Moorhead,
Hastings, Waseca, Albert Lea, Fari-
bault, Rochester, Litchfield, Lake

Spring Wheat In Southern Minnesota.

Spring Wheat In Southern Minnesota.
An intelligent gentleman of south
ern Minnesota, practical farmer,
who has just made a pretty thorough
examination of number of wheat
fields in this section, informs us
that, according to his belief, the con-
dition of the spring wheat has sell
dom, if ever, been more favorable
for vigorous growth at the cores
ponding season in former years than
it is now. 1t was farther advanced
a year ago at this time, but did not
in reality possess better hold on
the soil. An examination Of the
ground in repeated instances showed
to our informant that the roots of
the plant are not sufficiently suppli-
ed with moisture despite the long
period of drought this spring, but
that they are almost without excep-
ton strong healthy, and imbcddcd.
These are the essential conditions of
future growth, and they are being
heightened by the cool weather
which has prevailed during the past
two weeks and which still exists.
Whatever contingencies of this sea-
son may arise hereafter, favorable or
otherwise, there is, therefore, at pre-
sent, ample reason for satisfaction at
the condition and prospects Of our
great staple.

President Hayes sent in his mes
sage, veto;ng the bill ''prohibiting
military interference at elections" on
Monday afternoon. Neither party
felt sure as to the character of the
Message until it was received.
When it proved to be a veto, the
Republicans were greatly elated and
the Democrats troubled and angry.
Having carried the matter so far the
Democrats are at q loss to know
what to do. To 60 on would be
ruinous to party prosects and to re-
treat, humiliating to the individual
democratic congressman. When
bulldozing fails the party is always
in trouble. Enlightend statesman
ship, sustained by moral courage, has
no place in democratic councils and
plays no part in democratic tactics
and having to meet veto, sustained
by unansurable arguments, and
which they know to bs reasonable
and right, they are terribly demora-
lized. 1t is difficult to predict what
course they will pursue but it Is pro-
bable that they will back down.
Not that they wish to do right, at
this late day, but they are afraid of
the results to their party. The
Presidents message and the speeches
of Edmunds and others will convince
reasoning people of all parties that
the democratic position is untenable
and they will be inclined to save the
party. We think, too that the maui
ing old Zach Chandler gave them
will help the weakening process.

following account of double mur-
der committed in Murray county:
AS we go to press report comes
from Murray county that two men-
one OH the west edge of Murray coun-
ty, and one on the east edge of Pin.
stone county, have been murdered
under the following circumstances
Last fall two men-father and SON
settled on claims as above described,
and made arrangements for home,
going back to Wisconsin for the
winter. When they returned this
spring other claiments had settled
there. Last week, the son went to
one of the claimants and tried to
coax him to leave, but of no avail.
He then took out his watch and pis.
toll and gave him two hours to leave
IN bat the fellow tarried and was
shot down on the spot. The son
then rode to the man on his fathers
claim and gave him similar warning,
and he, too, remained and was shot
The murderer then left and no trace
has since been had of him. One
man seems to have been a witness
of this affair. We give the reports
as we have it from a man who has
just come from Murray comfy.

Farming is an Occupation.

Never since our recollection, says
The New England Farmer, of Bos-
| ton, have we known so many men of
other occupations turning towards
the farm as means of getting a liv-
ing as at the present time, nor has
agricultural labor for many years
been as popular among all classes
in New England as now. OF course
there are more er less who are dis
satisfied every where, but, even
among farmers who have the repu-
tation of being confirmed grumblers,
the feeling is decidedly more cheer
full than during the period of intlat-
ed prices. One would hardly have
believed, ten years ago, that the sons
of our city merchants would, in a
few years, be found preparing them
selves for farmers, but such is the
fact to a greater extent, perhaps,
than many may suppose. Some of
the most promising boys now at our
agricultural colleges are sons of
wealthy city merchants.
One of the largest dealers in cloth
ing in the city recently expressed
himself strongly in favor of young
men learning the business of agri-
culture, and proves his sincerity by
placing his own son upon farm
where he will not only learn the bus
mess, but probably continue in it as
life occupation.
a physician having large prac-
tice writes us that he seriously con-
templates retiring from the profes-
sion, that he may give more atten-
ton to his farm which he thinks
may pay him quite as we'll, while he
will be far more independent than
at dresent. So let hesitat;ng farm
ers take courage.

There are now forty-nine paying
mines at Leadville, Colorado, and
more then ten times that number in
process of development. Twenty
eight smelling establishments are
ingaged in extracting the shining
silver from the soft, black mud. i, Six
months ago, certain ''rock-sharps" Of
that region declared that if the mi
ners would drive through the lime on
which the carbonate deposits rest
they would find at lower depth a
second and possibly a third deposit
of carbonate richer, than the upper
one. The owners 'of the "Judge
Pendry" mine acted on the sugges-
tion-although they had an abun-
dance of ore yielding from $50 to
5000 per ton--and they have been
rewarded by striking, at $50 feet be-
low ground, the second layer of car
Donate, which assays in the fabulous
proportion of $4,000 ounces of silver
to the ton. The rage for high grade
ores is now SO great that carbonate
yielding $40 to the ton is no longer
worked, although the average cost of
mining is only 81 per ton; the smell
ters will have nothing to do with the
cheap stuff. The silver product of
the Leadville region for the present
year is now estimated by men Of So
ber judgment, at between $50, $780,
900 and $5O,OO0,O0O, while others
insist that there is ore enough Gin
sight to pay off the national debt.
Silver, however, is about all the
Leadville can boast of. Its location
is so high and bleak that snow falls
every month in the year, and even
potatoes refuse to grow. Almost
every man who yoes there expects to
s'stricke it rich," but only fifteen out
of each hundred succeeds; the re-
mainder speedily relinquish prosper
tty and take to some wageearning
occupation, driving team, digging in
the mines, or working on one of the
three railroads now blasting their
way to Leadville.-Pio,aeer Press.
