Senator Kellogg will be nominated on
the first ballot taken in the Third Dis
trict Republican Congressional conven-
ton. Iberville has Endorsed him by a
unanimous vote of its Republican execu-

to receive the support Of the Ascension,
Assumption, st. Mary and Iberia delega-
tions without division, besides having a
favorable prospect Of securing the votes
Of several delegates from the remaining
parishes of the district. There does not
appear to be any antagonism Of moment

sheen ShearInr.

A correspondent OF the New HAmp-
shire Patriot, says: In two cases We
have known of loss by early shearing,
but in both cases the sheep were not
in prime condition and the shearing
was followed by cold snow storm and
very chilly air. Sheep will usually
draw the feet little nearer together
il cold weather Immediately follows
shearings, but who has not seen them
lie and pant in a hot May sun 'shen
unshorn, suffering with heat? One Of
the ianeits Of early shearing is that it
IL the best way to destroy ticks.
Fowls will clean them all off if allowed
to 20 where the sheep are-both
sheep and fowls enjoy it. Another
the necessity for washing is obviated.
Sheep having heavy fleeces sometimes
do not dry off well after washing.
Sometimes the farmer may suffer in
selling unwashed wool; but not wash
ing at all is better for the conscience
than washing slightly and sEearing af-
ter the grease has started again. On
the other hand. don't shear early un.
less the weatherls fine or superior pro.
lection can be given. and do not shear
weakly sheep unless very ticky; when
thus they may improve under such
treatment Shear before the lambs
are dropped if possible, having none
but men experienced in the business to
handle them. A sheep a few days
well over shearing Is all right, if not
allowed to stay over night or through
stormy weather. II is important that
shearers should learn to leave from
one-third to one-half inch of wool on
the sheep for protection, which they
may easily learn with coarse wooled
and medium sheep, without seriously
affecting the appearance of the animal
after little time. 1t is not a gooG
practice to shear too close in June, as
the hot sun may cause the shedding OF
wool to the skin.
