Sheep Shearing.

1t is claimed that the first sheep
imported into tn. United States were
brought to jamestown. Va, in 1908
and to Massachusetts, in 1888.
The way to build up the sheep in
dustry is to weed out the focks, 60 for
greater capacity for mutton and incre-
ase in the individual, and put small
flock on every farm, where they viii
pay their way, even ii wool isn't worth
a cent pound.
During 1887 there were shipped to
Europe through Canada ports $4,000
mutton sheep. There went from ports
of the United Stotes 100, 900, either
alive or as dressed meat. The Aus.
tralian mutton does not command the
price in London that does the Ameri.
can.
The black top spanish Meripo is
now being bred extensively in West
Virginia and Pennsylvania. They
yield delaine wool and the carcass
weighs about $50 pounds. Breeders
who have stuck to the Spanish Merino
for years are going pellmell into breed

ters from the managers. For example
a private letter this day (Feb. 25) re-
ceived from Mr.. L, N. Bonham, secre.
tary Of the Ohio State Board of Agri
culture and manager of the Ohio insti'
tutes. Mr.. Bonham is as good farm
cr, breeder and agricultural writer and
speaker as this country rffords. The
letter was on personal and business
matters, but has this Incidental remark,

asked. While I was secretary we held
about 45 institutes each year. Mr.. B.
says: Institutes will close March 2 at
Gallipolis. We have held 100, and
averaged 500 persons in attendance.
We have preached the new gospel Of
agriculture to $4,000 people, and am
amazed at the delight with which they
hear, If we had more money we could
dc better work by commanding the
best talent at home and abroad Gas they
do in Wisconsin). IF the State were
not SO straitened in finances, I would
ask for $4,000 for institutes, but we
must wait another year."

Farm Mortgages.

The mortgage Indebtedness of our
farms is terrible incubus upon our ag-
ricultural industries. The aggegrate is
enormous, and it is very serious ques
ton, What is to be done with it? There
are only two things that can be done.
One is to pay the mortgage, aud the
other is to give up the farm. To pay,
under existing conditions, is utterly
out of the question in many cases, aud
yet the welfare Of the country at large
demands, absolutely demands, the
prosperity Of the farming classes. 1t
is not material at all. in one sense,
how the mortgage originated, its pay
ment is desirable, 1t is true, OF course,
that considerable portion Of this
mortgage indebtednass is for. pur.
chase money, but that makes no differ
ence whatever. The farmer has
some money in the mortgage farm and
probably several years labor in it.
He ought to be able to pay for his
farm. He works hard enough for it.
He economies sufficiently, and as
before said, the best interests Of
the country demand that he shall have
no illegal obstacle placed in the way Of
his accomplishing that purpose; and
the average farmer can pay for his
farm aud liquidate all of his indebted
ness if he is given fair chance. The
mort gage indebtedness of our farms,
it is perfectly safe to say, is at the
very least fifty per cent more to-day
than it would be if the farmers had
not suffered from evils which never
should have been permitted to exist.
The railroad monopoly has aeeced
him out of millions upon millions Of
dollars. The men who have handled
his products and the men who have
sold him his supplies have robbed him
Of millions more. The Shylock has
demanded his pound Of aesh in the
shape OF extortionate interest, and the
patent shark and tax assessor have come
along regularly to get there share Of
what little their was left. Every in-
dustry has received consideration
from the government except industry
of agriculture. No wonder there are
mortgages. The only wonder is
that there are not more.
Now the way to enable the farmer
tt pay his debts is TO give him an
equal chance, and protect him from
the heartless greed Of others. Bring
the railroad down to decency and
fair dealing; break up the trusts and
the rings; make other people pay their
own taxes; reform the patent laws,
and put us all upon an equal footing.
That is all the farmer wants. He will
then his mortgage and the whole conn
try will be more prosperous. But,
as we have said many times before the
farmer himself must bring about this
state of things. The men who are
robblng him will not do II, and other
classes generally have enough Of their
own business to attend to without CIV
ing attention to ours. We must unite
and fight our own battles for right and
Ill.,. Dial
