Excellent Taste and Judgment
Is displayed in the carriage exhibit Of Z. N.
Hallowell 81 Co. at the state fair The ex-
hibit is shown in Shed A, adjoining Ma
chinery hall, and consists Of about dozen
handsome carriages, buggies and cutters.
Especially worthy of attention is a fine
Concord buggy-one of the best buggies in
the world for strength and durability-and
a ladies' phaetOn and side-bar buggy of par
ticuiarly fine make and finish. Since E.
NJ. Hallowell & Co. built their large new
factory and warehouse on Minnesota street,
between Ninth and Tenth-the largest in
the city-their business has assumed SO
large proportions that it is difficult to supply
the demands of the trade. Their carriages
have acquired reputation throughout the
Northwest as the best Oh the market and
sought to the exclusion of all other makes.
Messrs. Hallewel & Co. are always glad to
conduct their friends throughout their
spacious factory and repository and explain
the superior merits of their carriages. Their
exhibit at the fair is center of attraction.

NIanaeing a Farm.

A writer gives the following as his
method of managing his lO0-acre farm:
s.Nv farm contains about 100 acres OF
farming land, most Of which is limestone
soil, the balance sandy loan. l have II
fenced in four equal tracts, nearly a.
possible. For convenience, at the corner
where they all join, 1 have good well,
arranged to furnish stock water for each
field. ! manage to keep 80 acres in Guilt

TWENTY-FIVE IN corr, % in wheat When
the corn is cut of seed this fell 90
wheat and the following spring to clover
/ aim to take crop Of corn, then crop
OF wheat, then back 10 clover in t%o
years, and find this is as long as clover
should stand to be profitable. BY
this method l manage to keep the land in
a high state Of cultivation without the
use Of commercial Fertilizers.
81 raise stock enough TO eat up all the
surplus corn, hay, etc. ] stack the straw
and feed around the stack. Toward
spring throw it down so the stock can
tramp it down. In this condition it rots
much faster and is ready to haul our
sooner. This manure / spread IN the poor
est places when I have leisure and it is
good hauling. BY doing this keep near
ly everything on the farm exc pit the sur
plus wheat, which I market as soon as
threshtd, while 1t is in the sacks. This
saves a large per cent. on shrinkage, be-
sides extra handling, and you have the
use of your money. Any fl Id l have will
bring a good crop. always have clover
sod 10 put in corn that has lain two years,
and il takes no longer and Is not mucu
expense to farm COED land as it is poor
land. The pay is surer, besides the sat-
istaction OF seeing your crops in tnriy-
in condition and promising a good re-

The National St0cEmap says: Lambs
readily learn TO eat both grain and hay or
grass. BY making separate enclosure
where they can have feed by themselves
they can be made to grow much faster. 1t
often happens that the most grOWthy and
thrifty lambs are taken with a disease
that is very fatal, at from two to fou
weeks of age. Sometimes they die in al,
hour or a half day. This is one Of tn
most veXatious and pe-pleXing disease
10 which lambs are subject. The lamb

nerve seems 10 have ceased to perform it.
functions. The lamb VIII run against OBJ
jects ana showno desire to suck; general
ly il fosms at the mouth; often wanders
of holding its mead down. Many theories
have been advanced to account for the
disease and remedies suggested. The
writer's theory is gwen for what it rs
worth, as It Seems to him to accord with
the diagnosis of cases happening under
his own observation. The condition arises
from indig stiOn, or more strictly inaDiH-
ty on the part Of he lamb TO digest all tho
milk OF the eve. As 1t cannot digest if.
the milk curdles IN the stomach and stops
up the outlet from the stomach to Ia,
bowels. The fact OF the intimate connee
ton between the stomach and brain-how-
ever intricate and obscure it may be-ac-
counts for the mental alteration and
speedy fatality. Owing to the rapia
course of the disease It is seldom thatan.-
thing can be- done in time. Some shep.
herds cut of the tail or ears in hopes Of
relieving the brain in that way. In the
observation of the writer very few eases
are ever relieved by any treatment. II
would seem to be better to try TO prevent
