We are glad Of it. The Hillsda!es
persisted in going to England, al
though they knew they were not

~DRRAL HTRAVA0ANO1.

During the session Of the recent
Democratic Convention, Ex-senator
J. r. Doolittle, who happened to De
In Denver, was waited upon and In
yited to address the Convention. In
the commencement Of his remarks
he desired to say few words about
aHairs at Washington. There was
On extravaganza simply intolerabIe.
He spoke of the Presidents salary.
Alter U. s. Grants administration
the salary, was increased from So"
OOO to SO, 900. The salary Is extrava.
rant. The White House Is furnished
by the Government, the gardens and
servants are likewise supplied by the
Government, and there l. nothing to
be Included In the Presidents ex-
peuses except when he entertains his
friends. He mentioned Presidents
before Gunt's term vii" had laid
away money OIL u salary Of 81. 200.
The doubling Of Presidents salary Is
simply piece Of extravascnce, he
said. It leads to an air Of t.! G royal
blood to have so much money spent
IN the White House. What We want
ia the old Jefferson simplicity again.
Then men lived IN Washington as at
home. When the speaker first went
there those were the objects that
were cherished. But VIC can never
change this state Of affairs until We
yet rid of the Republican party
They have the press, millions Of mon
ey, the machinery Of Government
and and all to help then, out. We
can only havea recovery in change
Of party, and the Democratic party
should lie the successor.
Upon the qucsticn Of silver and the
attitude of the Republican party In
relation to that metal. Mr.. Doo!ittle
said In substance: "There are about
two equal parts Of gold and si'vt in
the country. The I:loneyed n:cn of
Europe have combined with the
Men Ct America to sweep
out silver as a circulating medium
and thereby .l"uLly increase the val
,,e Of every bond, add to our SO, ooo,-
cNO in debts, all over the country.
Never was such Il gigantic Eiece Of
fraud attempted. The silver protluc-

THE VERDICT.

The New York World thus
nlcraiizes over the verdict In
the Star route cases. 1.-The
more one locks into the verdict
1T Washington the more complete
does ones bewiiticrnent grow. II a
fisherman should or.lcr q Net with
meshes such AS would contain the
small fry but let the big lis!, through
he w;'uld be regarded as !unatic;
yet that, as Tie World has already
pointed ont, is the > TT Of q net which
the jury cas-: around the Star route
rasca!s. The theory upon whicl, 1t
;'rocec.lcl in dealing with the charge
of conspiracy WIS never fairly set
forth before save in the finding Of
that ccclesiastica. tribunal which
acquitted the beloved pastor o! inn
morality aud convicted the CORE
spending sister. Mr.. Sotlern's log
ical exposure Of the !al'acy Inherent
In the prOverh concerning birds q:
u feather" cannot have commended
itself to the Jurors, for they insist
that = single defendant could Ego of
and flock by himself" Altogether
the finding is as puzzl;ns rs that re-
ply given bv the fishermen to Homer
when he asked t!lcm Of their catch.
"Al! We cansl.: VIC left" r,pl,r! the
fishermen. ''anil ali Sc couI:ln';

How a Pasture is Made.

Pastures require care just as much as
land devoted to other purposes. De-
sirabie vegetation must be kept in and
undesirable vegetation kept out. Places
that become unproductive must be at
tended to before weeds and moss take
possession of them. If the soil Is hard
and poor it should be softened and en-
riched. An effort should be made to
seed each kind of soil with the kind of
grass and clover that is best adapted to
it. Red top will do best on land that is
quite moist; Alsike or Swedish clover
will be most productive on soils that are
moderately moist while white clover
will succeed best on hill sides. Some
timothy and red clover are desirable in
every pasture, but they cannot be relied
on to remain very long. 1t is generally
best to NOW pasture after the grasses
have thrown up seed stalks in the latter
part of the summer. These stalks will
not be eaten, and by cutting them off
the growth of foliage Is encouraged.
scythe is beneficial in destroying many
weeds that would otherwise mature
seed. Bushes of all kinds should be
rooted out as soon as they make an
appearance, for they are likely to spread
and occupy considerable ground. The
droppings of cattle and horses should
be broken up and scattered before they
become very hard and iniure the vege-
tation in the immediate vicinity of them.
If they remain long on the ground
where they are deposited they will kill
the grass below them, and cause II
growth of rank grass that stock will not
eat in the vicinity of them. By scatter
ing them a considerable amount of
grass is benefited and none is injured.
If practical, other fertilizers than those
produced in the pasture should be scat
tered over the surface of the ground.
If stable manure is used, it should be
fine and well rotted.

How to Shear Sheep.

see an inquiry about how to shear
sheep, and as 1 am an experienced sheep
shearer, I will give my way. Take a
piece of oil cloth about six feet square
and tack the sides down on the floor
loose enough to permit sufficient
amount of cut hay, or even straw, to be
stuffed under it, to make cushion,
then tack the fourth side down. This
makes a nice, clean, soft place to shear
on. Provide yourself with a good,
bright, highly polished pair of offset
shears, that is, shear that the blades
set down from the hand hold.
Set the sheep up with its belly toward
you, then commence at the foretop and
shear down around the head and neck,
and strip one shoulder then turn and
shear down the other shoulder, and
side, and belly, and one hind leg all
along to the backbone; then turn over
and shear down the other side, keeping
the sheep in sitting position most Of
the time. In turning the sheep let the
head hang over one knee, and then the
other, in easy position for sheep ard
shearer. When you want the hind leg
Strengthened out, do not take hold of the
leg with your hand, but put your thumb
on the stife joint, as it is called in
horses, and press back; the leg will
straighten out smooth, and the sheep
will hold still but if you take hold of
the leg and undertake to pull it out
straight, the sheep will kick and strug-
gle. Keep the sheep in such position
that the skin will be tight all the time
where you are shearing do not pull
the wool down, as that pulls the skin
up, and you will cut 1T, but pull the
skin up tight and bend the sheep SO the
surface you are shearing over will be as
smooth as possible. Never tie sheep,
and do not use any violence toward
them. When you catch sheep take hold
around the body, do not catch hold of
