Spring Feeding OF Ewes.

The woolly coat of the sheep is well
calculated to resist dry, cold weather, but
it sheds rain or snow but poorly; con-
sequently the thaws of February and
March, with mud, are the hardest por-
tions of the winter for unsheltered sheep.
When to this inclemency Of the season
is added the glowing of the appetite,
after months Of feeding upon dry food, it
will readily be seen that little extra
care is absolutely essential to the keeping
of our Aocks in constant thrift. For
breeding ewes this care is especially
necessary as the time of lambing ap-
proaches, since they cannot endure the
strain of maternity and milk-giying
without serious loss, unless previously
fortified by judlcious care and liberal
feeding.
It is possible, of course, to feed too lib
orally, and thus inducea tendency to par
turient fever; but this mistake is less
often made than that of allowing the
ewes to 80 run down in flesh that when
the milk drain begins they soon become
mere skeletons Milk cannot be made
from nothing; if the material for its
manufacture be not found in the food it
will be taken from the accumulated flesh
of the body, and if no surplus flesh has
been accumulated, the secretion Of nilk
will either cease or material will be
drawn from the musclesand other tissues
which is absolutely needed for the main
tenance of health and strength. No
more melancholy sight is ever seen in
the sheep-fold than that of poor, half
starved eve, with scrawny lamb tug
ging at her for the nourishment which it
vainly seeks.
One of the serious faults of our meth
DDS in stock growing is the neglect te,
provide succulent food for our animals at
lambing, calving and farrowlne tim e.
Such provision might be very eheay ,ly
made by sowing rye in the Fall, or by
growing crop Of beets or tnrnips and
saving for this purpose, but how few Of
US do either ofthese? In default of such
feed the ewes should have an extra al
lowance of grain from now until the
grass comes. This, judiciously given,
will give them strength and enable them
to Withstand the drain of milk-givine.
For this purpose bran, oats or shelled
corn will be found the best foods, with q
spoonful of oat meal occasionally to each
eve. Corn meal is not a good food fo1
sheep, being more liable to surfeit o,
scour than whole grain or bran.-Cor

The charter required the company to
complete the line Of the road by July 4th
1879. At the expiration d that time
there were only some 425 nd les of road
completed on the east end Between Du-
luth and Bismarck, and 100 miles COM
pleted on the west. At the expiration of
the time for completing the soad, conse-
quently only some 1O.596, 900 acres had
been earned, leaving some 3s, ,246, 400
acres still unearned. If congress should
enforce the proposed forfeiture of the un-
earned land grant, it would take from the
Northern Pacific some $4,000, 900 acres, or
three-fourths Of abe entire grant. 1t is
not generally believed, however, that
this will be done. The charter con-
tains no provision for forfeiture of the
lands, but they were devoted to the pur-
pose of constructing the road. In the
event of failure to construct the road,
congress had the right to take such meas
ures as were necessary to ensure its
prompt completion, but having failed to do
this, and the company having itself COM
pleted the road before action was taken,
it seems to be too late now to insist upon
forfeiture:-Independent.

ing of the Chinese restriction act in
China itself. Addressing himself per-
sonally to the official at Canton whose
duty it is to issue the certificates neces-
sary for Celestials intending to emigrate
to the United States, he was courteously
received and made acquainted with the
interior workings of the Office down to
the minutest details. Finally he was
positively assured that from the time the
act went into effect down to the date OF
the conversation, a period ofabout eleven
months, but LII passports had been is
sued in that city. When, however, he
inquired how it was that the city of Pekin
which had sailed the week previous for
America, happened to have 500 Chinese
passengers on board, his informant de-
clared himself not only ignorant Of the
fact itself, but utterly unable to account
for it. The innocent Official had never
thought to look for fraud, and moreover,
did not know where to look for it. All
Of which simply goes to prove that fraud
and evasion do exist, and also that the
worthy Mr.. Chik Pow Shu would net do
for a United States customs officer.

Mr.. O'HOulihan's Wit.
By SOLOMON SNrDER.

In the year 1880, during the great pre-
sidential campaign; when every state in
the Union was beseiged with stump
speakers, carpet-pullers, and horn-blow.
ers, the amusing incidents of that time
were numerous.
venture to put one Of the many in
writing. A friend of mine in the little
town Of Nunda N. Y. employs from
three to ten men continuously, and the
employer, as general rule, was quite
popular with his help, more SO sup
pose, from the fact that he was ever
ready and willing to discuss subject pro
and con with them, and he never let
his temper get the better Of him. On
this occasion he had burly Irishman at
work in his warehouse, whom l will call
O'Houlihan. Now O'Houlihan was a
Democrat to the very backbone, and his
employer never lost an opportunity to
try and wean him and induce him to
vote for the ''Grand old Party"
O'Houlihan had been to the meeting
the night before which was addressed by
the Hon. Daniel E. Sickels. He came
home rather late filled full of a mixed
decoction ofpure democracy and bourbon
whiskey. In the morning the gentleman
addressed Pat politely, and inquired if
he had heard the Honorable Mr.. Sickles
speak last evening? Pat replied in the
affirmative when the following dialogue
ensued.
Employer-Now see here Pat (very
soberly) you had better join the Repub-
lican ranks.
O'Houlihan-Wel sur boss that's mat
ter av opinion.
Employer-Pat. I'd give ten dollars
to see you on the right political track.
O'Houlihan-And l work month
gratis to see you on the same side as me-
self.
Employer-Pat if you vote the Demo
cratic ticket and Democratic President
is elected, you will be working for me for
a dollar a day less next year, than you
receive this year. Labor will be SO cheap
that you will be glad to work for your
board if a Democrat is elected.

Mexican Veterans Pnsi0ns.

The Mexican war veterans are indebt-
ed to representative Townshend, of Illi-
nols, for an important point gained for
them by bold move made by him in
the house of representatives. A day had
been fixed by the democrats for consid-
.ering pension bill for the benefit of the
soldiers of the Mexican and Indian wars
in spite of eighteen hours of filibustering
by the republicans, but as many impor-
tant bills would have precedence and
might crowd it along until the end ofthe
session, Mr.. Townshend determined to
bring the matter to vote at once. He
took the bill introduced by himself on
the first day of the session and moved
its passage under suspension of rules.
This motion gave a half hour for debate,
and precluded amendments. Mr.. Browne
of Indiana, made a savage attack and
sought to excite the republicans to vote
against it by alleging it ignored the
claims of soldiers who put down the re-
bellion, and promised to pension men
who were abundantly able to take care
of themselves, some of who are now SEN
ators and representatives in congress.
He also insinuated that it was an attempt
to put confederate soldiers on the pension
rolls who could not receive that privilege
in any other may. This insinuation was
contemptuously resented by Cox, of New
York, in two minutes speech that was
applauded by the democrats. Townshend
explained to the house that the bill did
not include the soldiers of the Indian
wars or those who put down the rebellion
and was intended to give the Mexican
war veterans a chance to be judged upon
their own merits He was satisfied that
the Union soldiers would be literally
dealt with by congress when any bill for
their benefit was presented, besides he
was carrying out the instructions of the
Illinois legislature while Browne was dis
regarding the instructions Of the Indiana
legislature. Browne was supported by
only forty-two republicans and four
democrats and the bill was passed by 1Sl
majority.-St. Paul Globe.

ssOn the Yellowstone"

The Livingston Enterprise furnishes
the following little scrap of history:
We have before referred to the suicide
of Salmi Morse the actor, play-manager
and playwright, as possessing some local
interest from the fact that he was the
author of the play "On the Yellowstone"
which was on the boards at New York
thaatre under his management at the
time of his death. Now it appears that
Miss Blackburn, the star actress in this
play, the one who stood in such close
relation to Morse that he referred to her
in his ante-mortem letter as "My Child"
and the one who instituted the searching
examination into Morse's death, is the
widow of Harry J. Norton, a former res
ident and newspaper writer in Montana.
He it was who wrote "The Enchanted
Land" the first and best published de-
scription of the National Park, being the
results of his notes ON trip through that
region in the early seventies. Indeed it
is not improbable, Or rather we hrve
heard, that Morse's play "On the Yellow
stone" was really remodeling Of man
uscript prepared by Norton at Virginia
City, and left unpublished at his death.
Norton left Montana in rs, and wen to
Silver City, Nevada, where he met and
married Miss Blackburn. afterwar(1 IL we'd
in the Black Hills and died in 1879 at
Leadville. So are the actors in this far
away tragedy, wherein great but '.r1a attic
genius finds surcease from sorrow by
throwing himself into the Hudson, Link
ed with local history in a matter that
lends it an interest to us.

It is believed here that some congress
sional action will have to be taken to
prevent explosives from being shipped
from this country to England for the use
Of the Irish secret societies against the
British authorities. All congress can do
will be to pass some stringent regulation
forbidding the expectation of explosives,
and then provide for the enforcement OF
the same by rigid inspection.

For spiritualisrn advanced, pure and
simple, Mrs. O'Brien Luttrell Of Stony
Road, Paterson, New Jersey, takes the
condiment. This lady is a widow, but it
is not he. husband she is after in pursu-
ing TIE science of spirituafism. After
tweylty stormy years of domestic associa-
tic N with the late Mr.. O'Brien Luttrell
she doubtless passed by on the other side
when she seeks spiritual society. The
real object she is after is divorce from
her second husband, and he a spirit.
She has gone 80 far in the seance that she
now claims there is society of men who
have the power of taking away the souls
to all sorts OF unpleasant treatment. re-
turning them to their owners when
through with them. Her soul has thus
been taken away at times, and she wants
this sort of thing stopped. About two
years agoaber spirit was taken away from
Paterson to India one night, and there
| was dragged INTO chapel and united in
marriage to British colonel. She is now
the mother of spiritual boy, one year
old, who is fine, healthy little fellow,
but she is not permitted to bring him
| into the realistic world, much as she de-
slres to do so, to show him to her friends.
although she loves the invisible infant,
which must be much more easily taken
care. of than those of the ordinary kind,
whose alimentary canals inflct a constant
slavery on fond parents, she does not en-
Joy her married state. Her husband does
not come home at 2 o'clock in the morn
ing and try to unlock the front door with
a corkscrew, nor does he lie down to
pleasant dreams with his feet twenty
degrees below zero. Yet Mrs. Luttrell is
not happy, and has gone into the courts
to seek divorce from the British colonel
and to establish the status Of the invisi-
BILE infant. for whom she has been to no
expense for nursing bottles. If she can
only get good big alimony from the
colonel we shall take more stock in spir-
| ;tualism than heretofore.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-There is
already a good deal of talk about the
governorship Of Dakota, and row that it
is practically settled that Ordway will
not be reappointed. several men of influ-
ence are getting their documents ready
to represent when Ordway makes his
exit. The two leading candidates are
ex-Postmaster General Tyner and ex-
congressman Deering of Iowa. Both have
large interests in Dakota, Tyner in the
Red river valley, and Deering further
west, near Bismarck. The former has
been in public life long time, first as a
member of congress from Indiana, then
as second assistant postmaster general,
and afterward as postmaster general
under Grant, then as first assistant post
master general under Hayes. He went
from here to Fargo, and now considers
himself citizen of the territory. Mr..
Deering was a member of congress for
three terms, with an enviable record;
and the best work, for which he will
always be remembered, was the estab-
lishment of the system of Indian schools
which have been 60 successful. He is a
gentleman of middle age, of religious
tendencies, excellent judgment and un-
spotted integrity. There will be no odor
Of scandal around the executive Office if
he is appointed.
The Dakota people here are said to be
better pleased with the bill that has been
agreed upon by the senate committee on
territories than with any other measure
| that has been suggested.
