Thn Fan Rlrer strike.

FALL. RIVER, Mass, March 1S.-There
is no change in the strike situation and
every mill is shut down, as many opera
tors desire to participate in the St.
Patrick's day celebration. Most of the
mills viii resume again Tuesday morn
ing although some viii not start up until
the weavers are ready to return to work.
Tuesday will probably be the most criti-
cal day in the strike. If the weavers can
hold together that day and show no signs
of weakening, the struggle is likely to be
prolonged.

ABOUT SHEEP.

More sheep are lost by dogs in all of
the older States than by all other
causes. This is an unnecessary tax.
A few days ago a Montana flock
master received draft for little over
S4S, 900 for his wool clip of this year.
Oats is better grain feed than corn
for ewes. 1t is not so heating and con-
tains more of the nitrogenOus element
SO essential in building up the system
of the young.
Every flock-master must know by this
time that it is a constant dic5 ON dry
food in winter that plays the mischief
with the flock. If you have neither en-
silage nor roots, feed some oil meal.
Corn must be fed to sheep very spar
ingly. Not over pound and half of
corn should be given daily to good
sized wether. But in addition it must
have plenty of nutritious grass or hay.
Many farmers in Western New York
gave up the wool business as unprofit-
able long ago, but still keep sheep, and
say that keeping the mutton breeds is
one of the best-paying branches of farm
ing.
Sheep should not be compelled to feed
at the same rack with cattle. They are
liable to be hooked, and vicious ram
may sometimes do injury to cattle.
Separate yards and separate racks are
safest and best

PRINTERS INK.
Its Value to the Breeder and the Necessity
for Using 1t.

Its Value to the Breeder and the Necessity
for Using 1t.
''There is no use in talking about it,
no man can succeed as breeder without
the most liberal use of printers ink"
That is what we heard fall from the lips
of an old and successful breeder the
other day. This is truly one of the oc-
cupations where it will not do to hide
your light under bushel The reason
for all this is simple enough. Suppose
for number of years you have been
assiduously attending to your breeding
business on your farm, saying nothing
to any one through the press, attending
fairs and sales perhaps, but not giving
any one to understand that you possess
the spirit of leader in your line of busi-
ness, and what is the result? You become
overloaded with live stock and, being
forced to advertise, no one knows who
you are, and those who are in need of
the very animal you have to sell con-
clude that, as they never heard OF you
before, the chances are that you are a
mere adventurer in the business, one
who has bought up lot of animals to
sell again. Such we say is the very
natural conclusion, from the fact that
you were not known to the community
of which you are part.
Perhaps you are not writing man and
know nothing of the art of quill-driving.
That amounts to nothing. If you have
any ideas of your own. and it is poor
man that has none, they can readily
be put in form by the editor of a good
journal. But if you so much dislike
writing as to refuse to do it under any
and all circumstances, then you must
advertise the more, for the lack of this.
Advertise you should do any way; even
If it be but small one, it should be in
several journals, and stay there year in
and year out. Keep yourself before the
public.
One good way to court public atten-
ton is showing stock at fairs. 1t mat
tiers very little who gets the premium,
your gain comes from the notice you
get from every journal that mentions
the fair All such scribblers praise you,
no matter what you have on exhibition.
Then there is the advertisement of pub
lie sales; of course the better the ami
mails you have in the sales the more they
advertise you, but you should get into
those sales even if you come in at the
tail end. We know a number of men
who have been handling fine stock for
twenty to thirty years, always breeding
and buying the best, but who have never
succeeded in selling to great advan-
tage, simply because they have neglected
the proper use of printers ink.-Amer-

Saving Manure.

Successful gardening means plenti-
full application of fertilizers, and, in
deed, there should be more attention
given to saving manure on the farm
than is now bestowed. Our land is
mostly very fertile naturally, but
manure does not hurt any land, and the
time will come when either we or those
who come after US must fertilize the
land. But the garden needs manure,
and we would raise the best garden
crops In the first place, we should have
a barnyard that is fitted for saving the
manure. If the yard is one that per-
mits all the drainage to run to waste we
shall lose a good deal. The drainage
should be taken care of somehow, 1T
being left to the individual Judgment in
each case as how best to do that. Then
in piling up manure it is much better to
put it into fat heap. If you pile horse
manure on to a high, loose place fer
mentation will be excessive and a vast
deal of ammonia will be wasted. If it
is put into fat pile the process of fer
mentation can be regulated, for when
it is too great the pile can be trodden
down. That will check fermentation.

this time small boat had been let down.
Jacob came up again, his father in his hold.
He struggled, fought out towards the boat,
reached it, held on to it with one hand and
took moments breath. Two men in the
boat eagerly hauled him in. And then such
shout as went up from human throats |!
Men roared, huzzaed, shook hands with each
other, strangers kissed each other-such is
that blind, instructive brotherhood Of man
over the saving of life. But was he saved. /.
The cheering ceased, the crowd grew still !;
first with doubt and then with awe-struck
certainty made dumb. The boat was hauled
up to the dock and the form of Uncle Aaron
was slowly lifted out.
"Oh-hl not dead!" cried out woman's
voice with lonely wall in it like the cold,
shivering sigh of the wind on the winters
night-"not dead?"
The crowd trembled moment IN sympa-
thy and then stared as a beautiful woman
knelt down by the dripping form and wept
and cried in agony: 'Oh-hl Noblest and

me you might yet have been alivel Obi it

On the grand old face, now so white and
still, fingered yet an expression Of joy as if
he would say, if they could but understand,
| that all was right with him. Jacob stood
at his feet, faint with a tumuIt of feeling
within him.

suppose"

A Practical Success.

The Spreckles beet sugar enterprise in
Santa Cruz County, says the San Fran
cisco Call, has proved practical sue
cess, and the world is thereby furnished
with another illustration of Claus
Spreckles' sagacity. This latest sue
cess increases the business prestige Of
Spreckles to an enormous extent. He
said the enterprise would succeed and
was sanguine in the face of failures. He
held that previous experiments had not
been properly made and could not be
considered as true tests. The beet sugar
factory at Watsonville has been running
two weeks, and crushing of $50 tons OF
beet a day has yielded forty tons Of
sugar. The enterprise is highly appre-
ciated by the farmers of the Watsonville
region and the people of the town, for
the very excellent reason that it has de-
veloped one season of prosperity and in
sured more. 1t is to be hoped that Mr..
Spreckles will look into other industries
after he has finished with sugar. A man
of his intelligence and force should not
confine his attention to any one product.
