Farmers as Wool Growers.

"The real trouble" says wool
( grower, sis that so few farmers know
how to properly manage their hoc!Ss.
If they will take care in the treatment
of sheep they will find it profitable
farming. Sheep will live on very rough
food and endure a great deal of ex-
posure, and certainly they get ABOUT
all they can stand of both at the hands
Ct the common farmer. Upon the
other hand, no animal will respond
more freely to kind treatment and good
food than sheep. But neglect seems
TO be the great drawback to the farmer
as wool grower, and because sheep
fail to give returns under such treat
ment they are unworthy. The average
fleece Of wool does not weigh over
four pounds, ard the average sheep
does not yield more than fifty
pounds of mutton, and that of an
inferior quality. What if by impro We
ment these feeces should be raised to
ten or even eight pounds and the
growth of mutton to seventy-iye
pounds? The difference in dollars and
cents in the farmers pocket would
make him look with some degree OF
favor upon his focks. besides the
pleasure of knowing that he had done
something in the way of progression.
Improvement is the one thing neces-
sary in our flocks. Not that every
farmer should have all thoroughbreds.
That would not be profitable at all. but
grade up the flock by the selection of
the best common ewes and the purchase
of thoroughbred bucks. A few extra
dollars placed in a good buck will be
returned greatly multiplied in the en-
HANGED value of the lambs. No man
can afford to disregard the value of the
lambs. No man can afford to disregard
the value of the buck ne uses. My ex-
perience with sheep has taught me that
they are profitable. Where farmers
size their flocks according to their
farms and facilities for caring for them
they can't fail to reap reasonable re-
wards -

THE capital invested in the ice trad,

THE capital invested in the ice trade
of the United States is estimated at
eighteen millions OF dollars. The
quantity collected from consumers an
nually at date OF last census amounted
to ten million dollars. There are some
localities in the states where as much
money is expended annually in ice as
there is in fuel, and there is place,
according to the orthodox theory,
where it would command premium
of 1000, 600 per cent over fuel.

The cattIc ProbIem.

Geo. B. Loving says it isn't so much
the dim distant future as the ''trou-
blesome present." which now worries
the minds Of cattlemen. Most OF them
have faith in the future, but they do
not know what to do to insure the
realization of that faith. We cannot
be more specific than to advise them to
go ''long" on quality, short" on guam
tity, and bring into requisition all OF
the plain, common COW sense they can
muster.

to adopt system of light shafts and

A Holstein heller was exhibited at
the Bangor (Me.) Fair that yielded
about fifteen quarts of milk daily.
Considering that she was only 2 years
old the yield was extraordinary.
Hubbard squashes are the best winter
keepers and should be stored away be-
fore frost. The squash can be had all
winter if carefully stored.
Bran is considered one OF the best
foods for all classes of stock. and 1t is
rich in phosphates. II is a very i'm
perfect food, however, when fed in
place of grain entirely, but when given
in connection with hay and ground
grain it largely adds to the value OF
the whole.
The hog will thrive better If kept
clean and given plenty Of water. Slop-
food does not afford sufficient supply
OF water. Milk will not answer as wa
ter. The water trough should be kept
filed with clean water at all times.
In regard to cutting off the seed ends
of potatoes and throwing them away,
j. NJ. Smith says Last spring saved
a bushel of the seed ends and planted
them by themselves right in the mid
die OF tho piece of two or three acres
that | was planting and found, when
we came to dig them, that the yield
was just about the same and tho pota-
toes about the same size. But those
coming from the seed ends were nearly
a week earlier than the others.
Twenty pounds of hay and twelve
quarts Of oats given daily is the esti-
mated quantity of food for horse,
but this must be regulated by the size
Of the animal, the labor performed and

The Dorset sheep are very prolific.
They were shown at several fall fairs

They also produce lambs in the spring.

Too Much Confidence.

Bulls are dangerous animals, and a
majority OF the injuries received occur
from placing too much confidence in
gentle bulls, which suddenly and unex-
pectly attack the attendant. A bull
will usually prove obedient when
young, but it is seldom that IL fully
matured bull is safe. No bull should
be kept on farm that has not been
"riuged" in the nose, and it should be
made to work if training it is possible.

the terror of the inhabitants great land
slide occurred on the mountain back Of
the town, part of which passed directly
through the town, cutting a great
swarth through the buildings and carry
ing away everything III It's path. a tor
rent of water then poured down the gully
made by the land slide and flooded that
part of the place not already destroyed.
There was no loss OF life, however, as
the people had warning and sufficient
time to escape, but the destruction IF
crops and loss of cattle was very great.

fore leaving town the return journey, he

BrunsOn took out of his pocket g trick
knife and showed it to Howard, asking
him to open it. which he was unable
to do until BrunsOn showed him how. Shortly
after this man named Blake rode up a sorry
looking, decrepid old horse and asked the oCCu-
pants of the wagon to lend him a knife so that he
might cut switch to make his horse travel
aster. Brunson Immediately produced his
knife which the conner after fumbling about
with it for some little time declared himself una
BILE to open. Howard laughed at this and said
that he could open it, whereupon
Howard took the bet, ana Brunson offered to
hold the stakes. Each man handed him their
$50. The knife was handed to Howard. the con
ditiOn being that he was to open it while Clark
counted twenty-five. TO his surprise he found
that he could not open it any way. the combina-
ton having been changed. Howard, thinking
that he was cheated, began to make fuss, and
part of his money returned
to him. This confirmed his suspicious,
and he seized the stakeholder by
remainder. Clark thon commenced shooting at
him, and eventually both escaped and made
their way to town. A negro who saw the affair
told Howard that he could identify the men. and
returned to town with him, the result being that
