The Best HO0I.
Kansas Farmer.

Kansas FARMER.
The property for which wool is per-
haps most valued is trueness in breed
ing. In true-bred sheep each staple
of wool-each lock into which group
of fibers naturally forms itself-will be
of equal growth throughout. The fiber
will be the same thickness, as nearly as
possible, the whole length, or will be
finer at point than at root. There will
be no shaggy rough wool in it. but if
the sheep be cross-bred, or ill-kept and
exposed to storms, the fibers will be
rough at the points and coarser than at
the roots, the reason of this being that
as the wool gets longer as it is more ex-
posed to bad weather and hard treat
ment, nature makes it stronger to re-
sist what it has to encounter, while the
part that is next the skin remains fine
to give greater warmth. Such wool,
even when combed and spun into
yarn, never lies smooth and even
ly as true-bred wool, and is
consequently not of as much
value. There is another sort of wool
which farmers do not seem to under
stand, and writer's on the subject often
ignore, but which is found more or less
on all cross-bred sheep and on sheep
which are too much exposed and fed on
billy districts. This is known rs
''kemp'' or dead hairs. These kemps
vary in length and coarseness according
to the breed of the sheep. In White
Highland they are about two inches
long. and very thick; in cross-bred
Australians they are very short. In the
former they cover the under side of the
fleece, in the latter they are so few as
not to be of any importance. They are,
however, all alike in this, that they are
a brilliant shining white Except on the
sheep with gray wool, when they are
black, and they will not dye the same
color as the rest of the wool. They,
consequently, depreciate the value of
the wool very greatly, making it only
suitable for low goods. ~

Tie Farmers Hog.

| Breeders Journal.
The different breeds of hogs have their
fast friends, and no doubt they each have
what their friends admire in them, but
the average feeder who does not care to
raise pigs to sell for breeding purposes,
should strive to get a hog that will make
him the most money for the feed put in
to it. In the first place hog should have
good coat of hair; not bristles, but
hair. A black hog will not get scurvy
on his back; the sun will not blister him.
A hog should have good constitution,
with round sprung rib and good girth
around the heart, short neck and head
well put on, short face and nose, tail
put on not way up on his back nor yet
too low down, hams round and well
filled, not too sluggish disposition nor
yet too wild. By the purchase of the
right kind of a male pig the feeder can
raise just such pigs as he wants to feed,
and have much more profitable and
healthy animals than he can buy.
The brood sows can be run on clover
pasture in summer at very little expense,
and if provided with some good clover
hay in winter it will reduce their feed
bills. Not enough attention is paid to
providing good pastures for pigs; they
are generally kept in barren lot with
generous sized mud-hole in it, in which
the water is so foul that just the smell
of it is sickening, let alone having to
drink it. AS for change of pasture,
it is never thought of, on account of the
trouble of fencing it. The sensible way
to provide for them is to have enough
land devoted to their use so the pigs
can have good sweet pasture of clover
all the time. Do not keep them on the
same old poisoned ground for ten years,
but when the grass gets run out pillow
it and take off a couple of crops; then
re-seed to clover, and then let their
hogships take fresh comfort, health and
fat from the new fresh ground and
grass. This ground will then supply
the living for the pigs, while in the
other way of doing the pig lot is full of
weeds, bare of grass, and the bare
ground covered with mud and hog
wallows.

Packing Butter in Brine.

The Dairyman.
A method of packing butter for its
more perfect preservation, and one
which is very effective, has long been in
use in England. 1t has been recon-
mended in this country, but has. not
been adopted, so far as we know. 1t is
to pack the butter in cylindrical bags of
muslin, which are put in mold for the
purpose. These bags hold about two
pounds, and when filed are tied tightly
and packed away in brine in tubs, pals
or casks, and are headed up just as
picked pork is The butter will absorb
no more salt; is perfectly free from at
exposure; is enveloped in an

PISTOL PRACTICE.
Two Negroes Get Into Trouble and ON
shoots the Other Five Times.

A very exciting shooting scrape oc-
Cured on the block between Third
and Fourth on Main street
about 1890 o'clock yesterday
morning, in which colored
man named Charley Williams was
shot five times by another colored
man named John Edwards.
The facts ms could best be gathered
by a GAZETTE reporter were NJ follows:
Williams ID seems had tried TO be too
familiar with Edwards wife and yes
terday morning they met in the rear OF
Louis STEMS butcher shop, corner
Of Main and Third streets, and h quar-
rel ensued, which abruptly terminated
by Edwards drawing a small No. %
calibre seven shooter and firing full In
TO Williams face. Williams turned
and ran Into the butcher shop, closely
pursued by Edwards, who fired once
or twice nj him as he ran though the
shop. Mr.. Stein, the proprietor, says
the shooting at this point was done
almost directly over him as he was nj
work. The two men rushed out tue
front door and raced down Main street
until the entrance to the Santa Fe
ticket office, under the Pickwick hotel,
was reached, where Edwards fired two
or three more shots at Williams, who
fell near the doorway. The latter
picked himself up and rushed into the
hotel entrance through the Office into
the back yard and hid behind the
building.
The crowd In the hotel had rushed
to the door when the shooting first
commenced, but when Williams came
towards II, pursued by Edwards, IL
scampered In every direction, and
Williams had a free pathway as he
dashed through the hotel lobby with
blood streaming from 1--we ballet
wounds.
Edwards was arrested soon after he
fired the last shot by Officer John Res,
who was passing In street car. He
was taken to the calaboose and In the
afternoon was turned over to the
county authorities and lodged in the
county Jail.
Williams was found In the rear OF
the hotel, bleeding profusely from two
wounds In the neck, ON the left side
back OF the ear, one in his right cheek
where the ball had glanced and came
out through the upper lip. one
In the right wrist and an
other In the right hand. None
of the wounds are dangerous. He
wns taken to the office of Drs. Burts
& Field, who gave him the needed
surgical assistance.
The pistol was too small to do serious
damage and the wounded man was
seen shortly afterwards walking about
the street. He said he did not want

talking to his wife aud had abused

him last Saturday that he was going

and he had prepared for him.
