Sheep Raising.

We have half dozen or more
agricultural papers among our ex-
changes, and in all of these papers
appear nearly every week commune
cations from farmers on sheep raising.
all of which contend that it is profit
able business. In the last number of
the Northwestern Agriculturist is a
communication from Mr.. III. b.
Lathrop, of Redfield, Dakota, in
which he says: Average good sheep,
well cared for, will pay for themselves
in two clips of wool, and leaye the
flock and increase for the trouble and
feed. Suppose 100 good ewes cost So
per head, or $500, they ought to shear
from to lbs. per head; say 8, or
800 lbs, worth at 20 cents a pound
$3.50. Then there should be from 80
to 90 lambs, we will say rs. The
second clip of wool would be 1,400
lbs, worth at 20 cents $4,000, and at
least Is more lambs. At the end of
two years the sheep would be credited
with $40 for wool, or $40 more than
their cost, with a flock of $50 head
left. This Is margin sufficient to
cover all reasonable contingencies in
the way of loss and interest on
money. The result would vary some
from these figures, but my flock has
done little better than this. Much
depends on care aud management as
to losses. Now, when to get them?
The sooner the better. Many have
told me they intended to buy sheep as
soon as they got money out of their
wheat crops to pay for them, but /
have yet to see the first man who has
done it out of his wheat crops. ! do
not like to advise any one to go in
debt, but If there is no other way,
would risk it on a few to get o start,
or, take small flock on shares"
We are told by those who have had
experience in raising sheep that there
Is no section of the country where the
business could be carried on more
than in Stevens county.
The land, as well as the climate, is
dry, the grazing good, and in facf all
The surroundings are favorable to the
raising of sheep. Some of our farm
ers raise few sheep, but we believe
It would pay II they engaged IN the
business more extensively. We
should be glad to receive communities
lions from those who have had ex-
perience In the business, giving the
readers OF the TRIBUNE their opinion
In relation to the question of sheep
raising.

Minnesota legislators are fast gain
ing a reputation which honest men
would not care-to hasso, aud stle re-
ceivine sonte me advertising by the
press of other states. The Broadhead
(Wis.) Independent says: The rail-
roads have got into the Minnesota
legislature on questions of additional
privileges, and the lobby is swarming
with men of money. One senator
claims to have been offered $40, 900 to
absent himself and lose his vote on a
certain bill, and it is charged that
some members were actually paid
$12, 600 for their votes. Senator Pope
declared in the debate of last week
that the questions seemed to him to
be "not are there any who sell their
votes, but are there any here who do
not sell their votes" ~. ,.... -a

The refusal Of the senate to confirm

The refusal of the senate to confirm
the appointment of Murat Halstead

severely criticised by the press

A LAND OF STEAM.-Dr. Il. Thor
oddsen reports that in explorations
in the interior of Iceland last summer
>he visited some remarkable valleys
in mountain range called Kjerlin-
garGoll. He discovered grand sulphur
springs in great numbers, as well as
innumerable large boiling mud pools
blue, red, yellow and green in color.
Steam penetrated everywhere through
assures in the earth, one jet, six to
nine feet in height, keeping up such
continual roar that it was impossible
to hear the loudest shouts in its vicin-
ity. The greatest care had to be OBJ
served in walking on the thin crust Of
heated clay covering the boiling mud
below.

Aristotle divided matter into four
elements, and chemists a few years
ago recognized about seventy pri-
mary substances as making up the
universe. The latter view is now in
turn eutgrown, for, as Prof. j.. P.
Cooke states, the recent study of the
rarer earths leaves us in doubt
whether we have All indefinite num-
Der of elements, or only one under
unnumbered manifestations, and spec
trum analysis indicates that many of
our elements are decomposed in the
sun and fixed stars.

POSSIBLE HEIGHT OF BRICKWALLs.
In number of tests applied to
masonry, according to Prof. Baker of
Illinois University, piers of ordinary
brick and common lime mortar stood
a pressure of a little over 1900 pounds
per square inch, which is equal to the
weight of column of brick 1000 feet
high; with ordinary Portland cement
mortar the strength was somewhat
more than $500 pounds per square
inch, or the weight of column of
brick masonry 5000 feet high.

AN IMPROVED PROPELLER. - A
French engineer, M. Gouilly, claims
to have made very important dis
covery In the propulsion of steam
vessels, by which the speed may be
greatly increased. His improvement
consists in causing the screw to re-
volve in cylinder terminating in a
truncated cone opening toward the

speed of small boat one-third, as
shown by oyer q thousand expert
ments with more than thirty different
