The Past Winter.

We shall now begin to reap the re-
ward of our winter management of the
flock. If the management has been
good a high standard of health will
likely be the rule and the breeding
ewes will perform their mission safely
and well. If the management has not
been good the reverse of this possibly
will happen. In either case we may
learn a good lesson. There is one
feature of poor management that is
very apt to be entirely overlooked or
really accounted as good management
and that is feeding too much. Some
how overlooking is regarded as kind
ness and good treatment. There are
few focks that do not get enough to
eat. There are many that get
too much. Ewes are often kept
too fat. Sheep management fails in
feeding too much especially of the
wrong kinds Of food. and in neglecting
to provide plenty of water and to keep
the quarters clean. Too much dry food
is bad. But then, again, too much
watery food is bad, especially for breed
ing ewes. To fill up eve with cold
roots will likely cause abortion, to say
nothing of the tendency of feeding such
foods in too large quantities toward

Waldo Brown says that ewes fed gen.

INVASION OF CATS.
A Mean Joke Perpetrated ON the Peop
of u Mississippi Town.


of "a Mississippi Town.
.''When / was living in steamboat
town on the Mississippi, remarked an
old man in BARRIERS shop few days
ago, "there was a fellow who put up
very neat job on the inhabitants
against whom he must have had some
terrible grudge. He came into the
town one day and distributed handbills
right and left. taking special pains to
put as many of them as possible into
the hands of farmers who had come in
to sell their grain.
THAT was before the railroads came
to take business away from the river
towns, some of which had an immense
trade. The place was in had 5000
or 5000 inhabitants, and was the
shipping port far all the grain raised
for miles around, as well as the place
where the farmers obtained all their
supplies. The last time l was there il
had dwindled down to village of 1000,
end perhaps by this time it has nc
existence at all, even on the map.
These bills that were so freely
scattered about stated that the adver
tiser had a contract with a certain
steamboat company for furnishing 8
large number of cats to destroy the rats
and mice that were very numerous
about the warehouses at different land
ings along the river. He, therefore,
offered So for each full-grown Tom cat,
81 for each female puss, and so cents
a head for kittens old enough to get
their own living. All the cats were to
be delivered at certain place in the
town on Thursday evening = the
night that a particular boat was due.
''Well, that Thursday afternoon came
and the streets of the town we're Just
crowded with people. They came in
wagons, on foot, and on horseback, and

ing. The man who was to purchase
the cats was nowhere in sight. The
country people were making inquiries
for him everywhere. A crowd of boys
attracted by the caterwauling went tc
the old building and began to amuse
themselves by untying the bags and
letting out the cats. OF course the
cats began fighting and raised a noise
like 10000 demons. Suddenly STAN

THE soUTHERN APPOINTMENTS.

The Presidents policy with relation to
the Southern appointments has been
made clear to the Southern office-seek-
ers there is not little unavailing dis
content. He has declared his intention
to select none but men who have the re-
spect of their nei ghbors and who are in
telligent and capable. He wants to re-
cognize young men and progressive men,
who can do the party good, and will not
act merely as leeches for the party be-
cause of what they can get out oft. Any
distinguished and capable man who is
Republican in principle, whether 30 by
avowal or not, may be selected for APP
pointment. The idea is to get rid of the
selfcontinued leaders who bring the
party into disrepute and to let down all
the barriers that keep white protection
lists out. 1t is reported that the Presi-
dent spoke very plainly to a Southern
s1eader" who called with a delegation
lately to see about the appointment Of
the patronage of his State. The same
leader had been there many times be-
fore and was assuming to control the
patronage of the state. "Now," the
President is reported as saying, after
listening to him for moment, "you
have been here several times and
have heard you. know you, Mr. =
and know of you very well. l dom
think you are the sort ofman to distri
butte the patronage ofthat State"
All this comes from Washington
through the channels of newspaper cor
respondence, but we trust is is about thu
truth. 1t certainly has become higl
time that some of the Southern fellow
who nave so long kept the Republican
party in that section in a rather disre
putable condition will be given to I'm
derstand that they will need better re
recommendations than their faculties 70

DOES 1T BENEFIT THE FARMER 2
LOON LAKE, April ID.

Editor Free Press:
see in your paper last week the
butchers of Mankato have all expressed
their opinion very freely with regard to
meat inspection, and it seems from the
construction they put on il, that the farm
81 whom this law is supposed to benefit so
much has turned out to be the trespass.
er. Now il this ID done for the farmers
interest why go to Mankato butchers for
their opinion? If the farmer and butch
er have any interests IN common,
we have never found it out. 1t turns
out that he kills and sells all the black
legged, cancerous cattle, and bulls and
stays, and sells the same for 3 cents per
pound. / suppose that is the reason
why he can't get any more offered him
for his meat, being diseased or bull beef.
OF course he sells for cents. How can
he hep it? He could not sell 1t alive.
If he brings good cow TO Mankato he
is told they don't want COW beef, but to
save him the trouble of driving her
home they will give cent and half
pound, SO he kills it, sits up to eat the
foreuuarters and brings the headquarters
and hide to Mankato, and sells them for
what he can get, for money he must
have. Now, Mr.. Editor, the bull beef
does not all come from the farmer. We
can prove that Mankato butchers have
been willing to buy good fat bulls when
they could getthem at their own price and
have them brought iL after dark or taken
through the back streets; but they don't
kill bull beef, oh no! But something
happens to them; they are never seen
alive again. Now, Mr.. Editor, think il
YOU visit the slaughter houses in lower
town and see the way cattle are kept be-
fore they are killed you would be will
ing to take your chances on beef killed
on the farmers barn floor. Yes, it will
stop him butchering any more and give
him a chance to rise an hour earlier,
work little harder, for that is supposed
to be all he is fit for. Now, if our learn
led law makers in St. Paul and wise
butchers in Mankato don't stop benefit
i ting the farmer the poor devil wont be
able TO stand it. THos. II. JONES.

THE representatives of the "Big Four"
are said to have announced that those
firms will refuse to sell any more of
their dressed meats in Minnesota. This
Is the beautiful bluff by which Armour
hopes to scare Governor Merriam into
a veto of the Scheffer inspection bill.
Their idea is that they have such a mon
opoly of the cattle business that by re-
fusing to ship any meat here they will at
once open demand that can't be sup
Piled which will run up the prices and
make the consumers howl so loudly that
the governor will have to veto the bill.
They ridlcule the St. Paul stock yards
and say the state can't supply the meat
for the two cities. 1t is characteristic
scheme and worthy ola monopolist,
but we predict that it will fail in all par
ticulars. We don't think Governor
Merriam is going to be easily bluffed,
and the public will be willing to pay a
trifle more for their dressed meat for a
few months if by such hardship they get
rid of Armour. That is one of the best
features ofthe case. 1t will be strange in
deed if a state like Minnesota cannot
raise enough cattle to supply its
home consumption. If there are
90 few cattle received at the twin
cities with their SOC, 900 that is just the
feature that wants to be looked after.
Minnesota farmers ought to supply the
meat for these people and not some Chi,
cago or Sioux City concern. They will
do it, too, if given fair chance.

AS TO CHINCH BUGS.

Red Wing Republican: The chinch
bug outlook is being actively discussed
by the farmers. Some are of the opln-
ion that the bugs will cause very little
trouble this year while others fear that
their ravages will be as extensive as ev-
er. From the prairie the reports are
generally encouraging. Oliver Perdy,
of Goodhue. says that he has been able
to find but few bugs on his land, after a
careful inspection, although last year
q large portion of his crop was destroyed
by these same insects. Similar reports
come from others living on the prairie
lands. In the wooded districts, on the
contrary, the reports are rather discour-
aging. Alfred Anderson, overseer at
the poor farm, has found large numbers
on the edge of wooded tracts and in
brush, which were to all appearances
dead. He took handful of dirt con.
tanning a number into the house and
through the effects of heat they very
soon recovered from their dormant con-
dition. Mr.. Anderson fears that the
bugs will be as numerous as last year
Further reports will probably be receiv'
ed soon, when some definite conclusion
with regard to this subject can perhaps
be arrived at.
