safe one.

Northwest Agriculturist: We hear
some complaints about orchard grass
killing out, by l.. III. Stanton, oil
Morris, Minnesota, who has the finest
field of orchard grass we know of, re-
ports that last fall it made the best OF
pastures, and endorses it as the most
valuable of all grasses fort this climate.
Orchard grass sown with medium red,
or mamoth (saplingl clover makes a
combination good for hay or pasture.
IF mammoth clover is sown, enough
blossoms will ripen to reseed the
ground, when cut for hay, and the
clover will not run out. Unlike
medium clover, the mammoth makes
seed in Its first blossom, and as some
blossoms ripen early, enough seed is
knocked out in making hay to re-seed
the ground. If mammoth clover is
fed, and the manure hauled from barn
to field. without fermentfng, the field
will be found well seeded.
| !. There is good deal being said by
farmers eff Stevens county in relation
to raising sheep, aud it is generally
admitted that sheep raising here
would be profitable business for those
who engage in it. It is contended
by many that every farmer should
keep few sheep, not for the weol
alone, but for good mutton. Sheep
destroy weeds and enrich the land.
also feed and clothe their owners. It
issthe all purpose animal of the farm.
We notice by one of our exchanges
that f. M. Rigelow of Plainview. this
state, keeps about 800 sheep, which
have paid him better than anything
else. John Hughes raised 217 lambs
from 175 ewes last year. The sheep
sheared an average of ten pounds
of wool each, worth from 20 to % cts.
per pound. The lambs were worth
$3.50 each in December. This made
an average of $3.50 from each eve.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
famous for its prompt and effectual
cures of coughs and colds. The most
severe cold may be loosened and re-
lieved by few doses of this valuable
remedy. For sale by Fritz Buckentin,

Hon. ]. D. Good left here last Sum
day night for Pennsylvania, with the
depreciation of being absent month
or more. It Is quite probable that be
will be in Washington on the 4th OF
March for the purpose of witnessing
the inauguration of President Harri-
son. While absent Mr.. Good will
make 1t part of.his business to see
and talk with. his friends aud others
who are meditating on removing west

about its resources and advantages
The TRIBUNE can assure parties II

relied upon as correct, as he will Civ
