The editor of the Prairie Farmer, in
commenting on the killing of twenty six
sheep by one worthless dog, well and truly
says: '"In community where a lot OF
haf starved mongrel ours are tolerated,
profitable sheep raising is impossible. 1t
generally the case that the number of
such dogs found in rural neighborhoods
on the premises of the residents is in the
ratio durability to keep them. In other
words, the more poverty stricken the res
ident is, the more dogs, as rule, he keeps,
and as he is unable to feed them properly,
their wolfish nature is aroused by hunger,
and the consequence Is a midnight prowl
and descent, every little while, upon
focks of sheep and severe losses to far
mers thereby. tits admitted on all hands
that the dog nuisance is the greatest OBJ
stacle that farmers and flockrnen in most
of the States of the Union have to contend
with: and were it not for this incubus now
resting upon this industry, we should
probably in the near future grow all the
wool we require.

Breaking Prairie With sheep.
Iowa Farmer.

Iowa I armer.
Do you hitch them up? No, sir;
we fence them up. Five sheep will
break an acre in two years, or 900
,heep will break 100 acres in two
years, besides manuring the land
and keeping themselves during the
summer; all they need is fence TO
'nclose them and water to drink.
They do the best kind of work,
can't be beat. Our experience in
this business is as follows: Two
years ago | fenced in about one
hundred and fifty acres of wild pas
ture and used it for sheep pasture.
The pasture was good until last
summer. | did not think for one
moment but the blue joint grass
was all right, it has immense and
numerous roots which are sent
deep in the soil and was good ]
supposed for ten or fifteen years
pasturage, but. | accidentally dis
covered last fall that the close pas
turage of sheep had killed it, the
roots We're rotted, and on putting
In the pillow the mellowest soil
farmer could desire was turned up.
My sheep in two years had broke
over one hundred acres. am now
{ March) having it plowed, and 10
hiring some done | found the party
would prefer blowing in this pas
ture than "backsetting" last sum-
mers's breaking [ estimate the
value to the one hundred acres
added by the sheep at six hundred
dollars; two dollars per acre in kill
ing the prairie grass and four dol
lars per acre in their manure. |
suppose it is OF greater value than
this, but it is certainly this. o.
course, breaking prairie with sheep
s another and new source of
profit in these most valuable ami
mails on the farm and | place it on
record to their credit. / have Just
pulled down and removed over two
miles of six wire (three smooth and
three barbed) fence, and Just as
frost is out shall fence a new pas
ture on the wild or unbroken prai-
rie for my sheep. On looking it
over | find my fencing cost me
$3.50 per mile. In two years | have
got back $500 per mile by pastur-
ing my sheep on the land fenced
Looking at it in this light it seems
to be quite profitable thing to
fence prairie to pasture sheep. !
suppose the wire will last ten years
yet. [ must confess this adds new
value to sheep and is a new idea to
me. My farm is on the "S,ope"

ARGUMENT upon the bill of exceptions
in the Guiteau case was begun on the 9th,
before the Judges of the Supreme Court OF
the District, sitting in banc, Chief Justice Car
ter presiding, and Justices Macarthur,
Hagner and james. Col. Corkhill and Da-
vidge appeared for the Government, and
Reed for Guiteau. Reed after brief open
ing passed to discussion of the question of
the Jurisdiction OF the court below, arguing
the crime was not indictable in the District,
because the offense was not completed there.
Chief Justice Carter suggested that while
murder was the killing of a person,
and the crime could not be defined
as murder until death occurred, yet the act
of felony was completed when the murderer
had finished with his victim. Counsel adj
mitted Guiteau might be indicted, and (if
found to be sane) convicted of assault with
intent to kill, but held he could not be tried
for murder. Reed argued that the sentence
of death is void, claiming that under proper
construction of the statutes of the District
the date Of the execution should have been
fixed some day within thirty days after the
fourth Monday of October, 1882. He pro-
ceeded to discuss the evidence for the pros
ecution admitted at the trial and objected to
Dy the ueIOnS6y OSPCSiahy
the evidence of DIR. Fordyce Barker. The
next exception upon which counsel laid
special stress was to the admission of Mrs.
Dunmore's evidence, she having been the
wife of defendant. Mr.. Reed closed his
argument with an appeal to the Court to
save, under the law and by the law, this land
from the shame, and her judiciary from the
disgrace, of sending an insane man to the
gallows. Colonel Corkhill opened for the
prosecution, quoting the decision OF the SUI
preme Court Of Tennessee, which held the
offense was committed at the place OF the
blow, though death occurred elsewhere
He argued that the evidence admitted for
the prosecution to rebuff the defense Of in
sanity was competent and properly admit
ted. Mr.. Davidge followed on the question
of Jurisdiction, closing by combating the
points of the defense regarding the testimo-
nv OF experts and of Mrs. Dunmore. Mr..
Reed emphasized the part he had taken In
the opening address, and closed with an ap.
peal 10 not send Guiteau to the gailows II
grave doubts should be found to exist as TO
the Jurisdiction of the Court which tried
him. The Court adjourned, taking the
matter under adyisemenf>

An amusing episode occurred in the dis
trict court room yesterday morning which
for the time being shook the gravity of the
court and threw the crowd into commissions
of laughter. Upon the opening of the court
Judge Wilkin signified his readiness to hear
counsel for plaintiff sum up in the case of
Mrs. Harriet w. Smith against VIM. Kell,
being an action to recover on prOmisory
note. Following the announcement dead
silence fell upon the court room, consequent
upon the absence of the learned counsel for
the plaintiff whose duty it was to sum up.
The minutes rolled away, and still no counsel
came. Finally the court became impatient
and 1t became apparent that something must
be done. Realizing the situation, Mrs. Smith,
the plaintiff, arose and expressed her desire to
sum up, with permission of the court, which
was granted. The courageous little woman
proceeded to make neat speech on the issues
of the case to the jury. When nearly through
she alluded TO the ahsence of her counsel, who
she stated was evidently not interested in the
case. At that moment her counsel entered
the court room and the situation may be i'm
agined. When asked by Judge Wilkin why he
had delayed the court be replied that he had
got up late.
