Wheat Bran,

One advantage with this is that in
addition to being a good feed for stock,
it also enhances the value Of the
anure-heap almost to the extent of
the cost of the bran. 1t is one of the
few materials that the farmer can
afford to purchase for feeding, but the
best results can be secured by mixing
and feeding with cut feed.
While not complete food itself,
bran adds to the value of outlay,
straw and fodder, and by mixing
thoroughly after cutting, stock can be
wintered if given full feed of this
with but little grain. And for this
reason it will be found cheap food.
1t supplies, to large extent, the
elements of nutrition that the other
materials are deficient in, so that by
combining, good rations can be made
up, and in this way much that cannot
be used to the best advantage alone
can by combining with bran, be made
into good feed for stock.
And better results can be obtained
BY cutting and mixing than by feeding
alone. Stock are often inclined to
pick over straw and fodder when fed
whole, and much is often wasted in this
way, when, if cut and bran is added,
the per cent Of waste is very ALP.

Sheep VS.. Hogs.

Every few days notice in some of
our papers correspondents who say
sheep do not pay; there is no money in
sheep etc. Now I want to say to the
readers of The Rural and .Stockman
that know sheep Go pay, and in the
hands of careful farme: there is no
stock that will begin to paw as we'll as
sheep. Hogs in the local markets of
Iowa at this time (Jan. s. are worth
only So 20 per cwt. Yet notwithstand
ing this low price every farmer, with
out single exception in Iowa, Illinois,
Wisconsin. Missouri and other States
is raising and breeding hogs Now
mutton in the local mark cts is worth
from S. to 81 IS per cwt. and it is
an admitted fact by all who have tried
the experiment that pound of mutton
can be made for less money than
pound of pork. But this is not all.
The wool obtained from the sheep is
net profit. If sheep are cared for no
better than farmer cares for his hogs,
and the lambs fed one tenth part each
that farmer feeds two pigs, they will
bring at six months old from S. to Sc
each. Sheep live principally upon
grass and the coarser and cheaper feeds,
while the farmer who depends upon
hog raising must pour into hts hogs
from the time they. are pigs up to
marketing time constant food of grain
and expensive feed.
1t will take twenty-five bushels of
corn to raise and fatten a hog to 800
pounds, worth to day SO GO, while the
twenty-five busheles would raise and
fatten five sheep worth S25. Now the
sheep will pay for all his feed and care
with his wool. What has the hog to
offer for his care and keeping? Moth
ing but the "grunt" and our pork pack
ers with all their ingenuity and skill
have not learned to utilize that. / !
know from my experience in handling
sheep for the past four years that
money invested judiciously in sheep
will pay for their feed and make one
hundred per cent. on the investment.
My sheep have not failed to make me
over one hundred per cent. and one
year by actual test made 1875 per cent.
But this cannot be done in haphazard
way. 1t will not do to let hogs, cattle
and horses run with the flock. They
want good and separate care, plen'y o.
shelter, feed and water. Don't be
deceived into believing that sheep de-
not want water. They do want water
and want it evey day.
Again, one man will take care OF
1000 sheep and do all the work abour
them, except at shearing and yeaning
time. This 1000 sheep will yield au
annual income Of $4,000 and the
smaller the flock the greater the income
in proportion. Yes, sheep do pay. and
the man who has a good flock can
count himself on the safe side fnan.
cialIy.
A correspondent gives his belief in
sheep raising in the above article pub
lished in the Wcstern Rural, and there
is no doubt that every word here stated
is true, and the only obstacle to every
careful farmer in Cecil county realizing
the fact is the dog. That enemy is as
complete tyrant over the farmer as
monopoly and trust.

Rev. Anna Shaw, one of the most
eminent lecturers of the National W
c. T. T., has been engaged to deliver
three lecturers in Cecil county at the
following places, Elkton, Feb 18th;
Zion. Feb. 18th; Rising Sun, Feb. 18th.
DR.. Shaw is graduate of the Boston
School of Theology, and is an exceed
ingly popular speaker. At the last
annual convention Of the State W. G.
T. U. held at Hagerstown, she won the
hearts of all the delegates. Her even
ing address completely captivated her
audience, so full of wit and sound ar
gument that even those who did not
agree with her in opinion in everything
that was said, expressed themselves as
delighted with her pleasant, agreeable
manner, and convincing style. She has
been engaged by those Unions at con.
siderable expense and we trust she will
be greeted by large audiences where
she has been engaged to speak.

THE NATIONAL VIC T. UIN POLITICS,

The general officers Of the National

National in its policy of No sectarianism
in religion, no sectionalism in politics,
no sex In citizenship, but each and all
of US for prohibition by constitutional
amendments, national and state to
hold meetings locally and pass resolu-
tons to this effect.
Those local unions already organized,
In which majority stand with the

declare this fact and 60 on with their
work as heretofore, waiting for the Or
ganization of the Iowa W. G. T. u.
auxiliary to the National w. G. T. U.
We earnestly call the attention of all
local and county W. C. T. Unions
throughout the nation to the fact that
when any officers or members secede
from our organizations, such members
have gone out, and such members have
left their positions vacant. The w.
G. T. U. remains intact if it has but
one white ribboner left; therefore do
not reorganize that which is organized
already, but let those who go out do the
and those who remain
should elect officers and 60 on with
their work as usual. These local aux
iliaries should be named as ALWAYS

Report all such organizations promptly
to the state officials, to the National
corresponding secretary, Mrs. C.B.
Buell., l6l LaSalle street. Chicago, and
to the Union Signal, Chicago. the
official oroan of the National w. CT
U. In response to many inquiries it
should also be noted:
l. That the constitution of the
National W. c. T. U. has never con-
tanned the words mon patisau' and
mon scctarian,' hence these words have
never been expurged the,efrom.
2. That the National w. CRU
has always been organlcally non parti
san because it has never made tne
slightest partisan requirement of an,
state auxiliary or of any local union
The National w. G. T. U. was unwil-
ing to put the limitations and restric-
tions which the constitution of Iowa
imposes, but preferred to leave ever,
society Tree to express its opinion as to
the methods of securing prohibition az
cording to its judgment.
.. That loyalty to the National W
Y j U. does not mean that white RIB
boners must endorse the prohibit,on
party. In Iowa, who're the republican,
have declared Tor the full and com
plete enforcement Of the prohibit?r,
law this would be clearly inconsistent.
In lowo, Dakota and Kansas the w. c. |
I U. lends its influence to the repub-
llcan party because that party is loyal

seven hundred Ignorant black WON en-

1t amazes the common sense people of
the country that few gentlemen who
pass themselves off for statesmen should
be tearing their hair and rending the cir
with their patriotic appeals over the
Elections bill, and should consider an
impracticable abstraction of more i'm
portance than the business interests of
the country and the solid welfare of the
people. If the Elections bill were passed
into law, it could not be enforced, but
it would evoke a feeling and cause con-
tentious that would very much disturb
all the business relations of the country
Especially is the policy Indicated by the
Elections bill out of place at time
when the country needs financial legis-
iation-the enactment of some measure
that will restore confidence and encour-
age business enterprises. There is no
demand from the great mass of the peo-
pie, who are identified with active bust
ness pursuits, for the Elections bill; but
there is a demand for legislation that
will inspire confidence among the PEG.
pie, and give them assurance of stability
in business. That is what is wanted,
and not fine spun theories about alb
stract rights, which could not in present
social, political, and industrial condi-
tions be enforced.
The country wants practical legisla-
ton, and not the enactment of measures
which can have no other effect than to
disturb business and throw into confu-
sion whole section.

Broadway Va


We learn from the Enterprise that a
railroad company has been organized
under the name of the Broadway and
West Virginia Railway Company, for
the purpose Of building road eastward
to Rive rton, and westward, through
Brooks Gaps to the coal fields of North
River Gap. New York furnishes the
president of the company in Frank Fl.
Skeele of that city, the Cd vice-president
in Charles Gallaher, and the treasurer
in James H. Moran E. ID. Root, of
Broadway, is LIST president; P. W.
Pugh, secretary; Robert B. Allen, chief
engineer and general manager; and
Judge George R. Calvert, solicitor. We
learn that about 400 acres of land, well
located for plating into lots, adjoining
Broadway, have been purchased with a
view to laying off an addition to the
town and for general improvement. The
location, with its excellent water power.
its relation to the material values of the
western part of the county and part of
West Virginia, is well adapted to the
purpose declared. Broadway is an i'm
portant point in the Valley. 1t is at the
gateway to the extensive mineral de-
posits in Brooks Gap, where not only
iron ore, marble, coal, but fine timberar
accessible, and only want enterprise and
capital to utilize them. The town has
been growing steadily for several years
without any extra effort to push it's in
terests, due to the trade that centres
there from the western section, as we'll
as the rich agricultural surroundings.
Its natural position, ample water power,
an aftiuent mineral region, and almost
every advantage that can be mentioned,
justify the conclusion that busy center
OF trade and population will soon be es-
tablished there. A gentleman, in pri-
vate letter, writes us, referring to the
railroad company: "From all I can see
and gather, / am inclined to believe that
these New Workers mean business, and
that the time is not far distant when we
will have a railroad through Brooks
Gap, and when the Ideal City of Broad
way will be stern reality"
The plans of the parties interested, as
we learn them, have merit in them.
They conform to natural conditions and
advantages. and offer inducements for
men of spirit and money to address the
situation with the sure promise of rich
returns. We have faith in Broadway
There is no locality in the South better
adapted for improvement-none where
nature has been more lavish in her be-
stowals, and none where quicker results
may be obtained for given amount of
effort. We feel confident of the success
of the railroad scheme, if those in charge
do not falter. From Broadway to New
Market, and through Powell's Fort to
RivertOn, will bring the town in direct
communication with the Norfolk and
Western system. From Broadway west
ward, through Brooks Gap, would open
the mineral and timber resources of
West Virginia, to find an outlet at
Broadway, or be arrested there by in
dustries, and appropriated to manufac-
turing purposes. There is not a condi
ton in material resources that will not
favor the improvement of the town, and
if the suggested railroad should mate
rialize-and we have no reason to be-
lieve it will not-the future of the place
is assured.

American politics will be uncommonly inter
eSting for the next two years. The mandate of
the people, pronounced with such emphasis at
the polls on Nov. 4th, will not be needed by the
Republicans. The message OF the President,
revealing their temper and outlining tnelr
policy, foreshadows an obstinate resistance to
che popular will. The principle of the Mckinley
Tariff act will be adhered to, trusts will be
Glrther favored, sectional passions will be re-
Kindled by fresh attempt to pass the Force
bill, and Quay, repudiated by his own State, will
Continue to mold the policy and embody the
moral standards of the party. The Republican
leaders, greedy of the power they have abused,
will strive to keep their covenant with the selfish
Interests that control them by opposing with
their votes in the Senate and with the Executive
veto measures which an enor. aJority Of
the people have decreed shall be enacted to re-
heve them from the burdens of excessive taxa

In this contest THE NEW YORK TIMES will
labor heart and soul, with zeal, energy, and all

thy dealt the tariff makers of 1890 such telling
blows as THE TIMES, none made larger contribu-
lions of fact and argument, none was SO helpful
to the speakers who opposed the Mckinley bill
in Congress or in campaign discussion. And in
the fight yet to be made to establish the supre-
macy of the peoples will and give effect to their
