Dedication OF Garfield Memorial.

CLEVELAND, Ohio.-The memorial stands
on the most prominent spot in the cemetery,
and can be seen from all directions for many
miles. Projecting at the base of the tower

THE NermOnt MerinO.

Says Mr.. Winslow, one of the best
sheep breeders of Vermont: THE aris-
tocracy of the sheep in the state of Yer
mont is the highest type of the merino;
this class of sheep can be bred either for
wool or mutton. A man to succeed in
this branch of industry must have a
natural love for the animal, Every farm
er should keep a small flock of sheep. but
perhaps not every man would be well
calculated to breed the higher type of
u high bred Vermont merinos. Nut
ton breeds do not flock like merinos: con-
sequently they cannot be kept in large
hocks. Vermont is the natural home of
the merino sheep, her soil, climate and
men are perfectly adapted to produce
the ideal sheep, and there will always
be a demand for them to pe1petuate the
sheep in other countries. They will al
ways have to return here for a renewal
OF the blood which degenerates in the
warm and dry countries.
For this reason it is advisable for a
farmer who is adapted to the business to
continue in it. Cross bred stock lacks
uniformity. Vermont should raise me-
rino wool, as mixed wool is not in as
good demand. The merino wool will be
more and more in demand as the fashion
for broadcloth. Breed for a strong con-
stitution and a large frame, especially if
for mutton. Good breeders will select a
ram that will produce the type he is
wanted to raise. Feeding lambs in win
ter is a profitable business and merinos
are well adapted for this. Farmers who
do not breed for the higher type Of me
rino for wool can raise a mutton type
and still retain the peculiar type of Yer
mont merino wool"

Thompson had been working at the river
landing. He is out of a JOB at present and
has not a cent of money. He is unable to
give the names of the miscreants whom
lie alleges p%lundered and robbed him, but
as he gives a pretty fair description of
them he is certain to know them when he
sees them. He zane with them q short
time ago. One he describes as a cowboy Of
small statue, slightly lame; the other a tall,
burly man raggedly dressed. 1t all came
about this way: Thompson, while at the
landing, was engaged in conversation by
one OF the men. They walked off some
distance to u secluded spot, the other fol-
lowing. The two sat down on a log and
before Thompson was aware of anything
wrong he received a singing blow in the
neck. He was knocked senseless. While
in an unconscious state the desperadoes
ritled his pockets, securing the only article
OF value he had, which was a pocketbook
containing his wages just drawn-$17.50.
One man answering the description has
been seen arounu town since the robbery.

Kentucky Horses,

Taking altogether this has been one of
the most unfortunate years for breeders
and trainers ever experienced in Ken
lucky. More mares have slipped their
foals, thoroughbred as we'll as trottlng
mares, and many of the foals have been
affected with something like rheuma-
tism. While the number of deaths has
not been large, from the number Of slips
the crop of yearlings next year will not
be more than half the usual number.
Besides the slips many of the horses
in training have been sick. The disease,
whatever it may be, affects horses diff
ferently. The heads of some swell and
they suffer as if from distemper. In
others the limbs enlarge, the shoulders
tester, and lancing has to be resorted to
in order to rid the animal of the great
collection of pus. Then, again, in other
horses, the disease takes the form of ca
tarrhal fever, and the entire system be-
comes affected.-Live Stock Record.

No. 1 Won the Day.

Broadway, corner of Eighth was crowded
with people Saturday afternoon to witness
the hose contests. The events were adver-
tised to take place at 5 o'clock sharp, but
it was after 8 before the word Ego" was

HEIFER.

is of excellent quality, tender, with little
waste, and the fat evenly distributed over
The carcass. Crossed with native stock
this breed makes moderately good COWS
for milk or cheese.
The Herefords, with the Shorthorn and
polled Scotch cattle, are rapidly filling the
west with improved beef cattle to such
al extent that the genuine Texas steer,
long horned, big boned and more or less
vicious, will soon hardly exist out of the
Wild West show. AS our beef improves
in quality there will be a better demand
for it throughout the world. One thing
cannot be too earnestly impressed on
the minds Of those who wish to succeed
as beef producers: Plentiful feeding,
kind treatment and shelter improve the
quality of the beef.
The Herefords may infallibly be known
by the following points among others:
Besides the white face and dull red
or brownlsh color already mentioned
they have always a stripe of white along
the back. Head small and tapering,
face short. The eye is small and bright,
the horns are rather long and bow around
in a circle, inclining to point downward.
The legs are straight and short, the hair
long and silky. The Hereford's brisket,
like its face, is always white and very
large and solid. The whole shape of the
animal is broad, round and smooth. The
body is long. This breed is so gentle
and good natured that the steers are ex-
cellent working oxen, though rather

are perfectly fertile. The cross bred
specimens show the recurved plumage,
but in a less degree than the pure Sebas-
topol.
AS ornamental water fowl their pecu-
liar plumage entities them to more gen
eral cultivation than they have received;
as practical market fowls they are handi-
capped by their inferior size, and have
no hope of winning against their more
robust competitors. Size wins the day,
and it matters not that the S%ebastopol is
remarkably hardy, very easily reared and
capable of thriving well upon a good
grazing ground with little or no other
food. 1t lacks size, and that's sufficient.

ewes on the wheat straw which rises in

is little short of a crime that it should

consumption by sheep. The nice little
focl1s which have been SO wintered prove
this, some of them averaging eleven
pounds per fleece. "Sappier'' crops of
lambs no one need wish to see, and no

Prairie Fires.

Are the farmers of the slope prepared for
the annual prairie fires? If not, be
guarded before it is too late. The fires are
liable to come unawares, day or night.
Too much caution cannot be exercised In
order to protect property and homes from
the devastating flames. A dispatch says:
News reached Dickinson last night of a
terrific prairie fire which has been raging
south OF that place during the last few
days. 1t is supposed to have started on
the Little Missouri river about forty miles
from the railroad track, probably by some
cattle outfit driving in cattle for shipment.
The vast range of the II. I. company has
been totally destroyed. In order to keep
the fire from spreading the ranchmen
killed horses to use as drags and by this
means the fire, for a distance of fifty miles.
was kept from spreading. On the II. Il.
range there were upwards of 1900 head of
horses, including many colts, unbranded.
These are scattered to the four winds and
it will entail much trouble and expense to
round them up. 1t is next to impossible to
give an estimate of the area burned over.
1t Is said that several outfits en- route to
this and contiguous points with cattle for
shipment will have to change their course
as there is no feed.

Cheap Pharisaical Morality,

Devils Lake News: The News in its
issue of February 9TH last went on record
on the lottery question in four editorial
notes. 1t didn't wire anybody to learn
what it should do. 1t was and is and has
been against the lottery. 1t hasn't yet
made application for admission to the po-
litical Sunday school class or the strength
OF its opposition to the lottery. There are
other evils worse than the lottery, which it
as freely and unequivocally condemns.
One of those evils is hypocrisy. If ever
any state was cursed with such an evil the
state of North Dakota is. OF all the cheap
pharisaical public morality in the nation,
this state has the cheapest. Men who 9TH
erWlse would have had no place in the
public view, have screeched themselves
into sight on the anti-lOtterY platform.

THE LIVE STOCKMAN,
THE GOOSE IN THE PICTURE IS
A HANDSOME BlRC.

The Sebastopol Goose Might BE Called
n Frizzled Silky-The Same Family Is
Found on the Danube-A Very Snowy,
Ornamental Water Fowl.
This variety Of geese, since we'll known
as Sebastopol geese, is said to be quite
common on the Danube, and they have
been also called Danubian geese. They
resemble in general characteristics and
habits the Embden geese, although
much smaller, and possessed of the Pc
culiar recurved plumage which charac-
ter1zes the frizzled fowl. Their plumage,
however, differs from hat of the frizzled
fowl in being of a looser texture, resem-
bling the plumage of the silky fowl some
what. 1T there was a frizzled silky, the
comparison would be more complete and
exact. The stems are less stiff than in
ordinary geese and often are split toward
the tip, forming two or more partial
stems, which are united above. The
webbed portion is deficient in barbules,
thus giving a looser and more silky char
acter to the plumage.
These frizzled, silky feathers are for
the most part confined to the back,
rump, about the thighs and wings Of the
bird, the other parts of the plumage pre-
senting nothing abnormal. Sometimes,
however, the neck feathers are more or
less recurved. About the tail and sad
die these feathers are considerably elon-
gated and curved like the sickles of a
cock, but of course lack the stiffness
Which characterizes the true sickle
feathers of a male fowl.
The Sebastopol goose is evidently but
a variety of the common kind, as it
breeds freely with it and the progeny
