LIVE STOCK NOTES,

WATCH the leaks in feeding; grain is
90 valuable % be wasted.
SHEEP require as little care as any
stock, but this care must be timely.
BE careful that the brood mares are
not overworked or permitted to- strain
themselves. n
BECAUSE sheep are just now on the
upward boom. do not rush wildly into
them at the sacrifieeN0f everything
else.
In decidiW what type of horse to
raise, the farmer should consider the
market in which he expects to sell, his
opportunities for producing that style,
etc.
In selling fat wethers each one must
decide for himself whether the money
is in shearing or selling unshorn. We
know hock-masters who hold there Is
just as much money in selling with the
wool on.
EVERY fockmaster who has not done
it, should send to the secretary of
agriculture, Washington, D. c., and get
copy of the book, animal Paras-
ties of Sheep" 1t may be had for the

In answer to the subscriber who asks
whether sheep should be fed turnips
while carrying lambs, we would say,
that the moderate feeding of turnips or
other root crops at that time is not con-
sidered, by good shepherds, injurious to
either sheep or lambs, but too heavy
feeding of any root is. The same is
true of ensilage, as far as the lambs
are concerned. Farm, Field and Stock

DENOUNCED LANDLoRBIsM.

British Tenant Farmers Becoming Hos
tile Toward Landlords and Parsons.
If the rural conference which opened in
London represented with absolute fidelity
the spirit of the agricultural element of
Great Britain the country would be on the
eve of Il social and political revolution. No
assemblage OF supposed representative men
ever held IN England displayed such enven-
omed hostility to the parsons and land own
ers Delegates boasting themselves as per-
sistent parson fighters and denouncing
squire tyranny were cheered to the echo,
and their scornful illusions to the patron
liking airs OF the clergy towards the rural
inhabitants was keenly relished. The en-
tire sympathy OF the conference was re-
served for the motto, down with Church
and Landlord" But it would be misleading
TO infer from the character Of the confer
ence that the rural poor have deserted the
church en- masse or have become infused
with political designs against squirearchy.
The conference, while indicating clearly
and actively an existent force to be &C
counted with in the coming elections, owes
Its greatest force to its forcshadowing the
future agricultural policy, When the spirit
OF the delegates permeates the electorate,
the hereditary privileges OF landlordism
and churchism will vanish

CAPRIvI GIVES ADVICE.
The German Chancellor Discusses the
New Commercial Treaties.


The new commercial treaties between
Austria Hungary and Germany and Aus
tria- Hungary and Switzerland have been
signed. In the German Reichstag Chan
cellor Won Caprivi opened the debate on the
new commercial treaties. making a strong
appeal in favor OF their adoption. he dwclt
upon the fact that the present import and
export relations would ruin both the en-
pioyers and employees. The measures under
discussion are necessary to preserve Ger
many's husbandry and commerce. Con-
tinuing the Chancellor said the immediate
effect OF the treaties upon the finances of
the empire would be Il diminEtion of the
revenue nearly is 600. 600 marks This was q
matter that required budget consideration.
In connection with the alleged distress in
Germany he said the agriculture Of the
country could very we'll bear, without risk,
a reduction in the tariff rate of ~ marks.
In the matter of wine it had been his aim
to compel sharp competition against artiti-
cial wines, schnapps and so-called "French
claTets' so as to provide ON German soil a
better field for Italian wines against those
of France. The reduction in the duties on
the necessarics of life was of advantage to
to the working people. Adverting to the
Mckinley law. the Chancellor said 1--WE
wish the countries of Europe to preserve
their independence against America. For
this purpose they must unite together. The
treaties just concluded will give sure

SOME interesting facts in regard to

Grange developed during its fifth annual
session at Fremont. Master 0. E. Hall
is authority for the statement that there
is now in the State about 1900 mem-
bers, distributed among $50 subordinate
oranges. The increase for the past
year has been about SO per cent, the
order having tlourished best in the east
ern half of the State, which has not
been so seriously affected by the drouth,
though such counties as Red Willow,
Hitchcock, Hayes and Gosper, in the
western part of the State, have kept up
their proportion of the increase. The
treasury is in satisfactory condition
and Master Hall expresses himself in an
interview as sure that the Grange would
have rapid growth in Nebraska in the
future. lie further stated the Grange

cal embroglos and is adhering strictly

More Trouble Feared.

The strike OF the miners at the mines OF
the Colorado Coal and Iron Company at
Crested Butte has resulted seriously. Since
the men-Italians and Austrians-went out
they have been very ugly, refusing to allow
the company to bring in new men, stopped
the pumps and fans, allowing the mines to
fill with gas until there was danger of the
mines blowing up, and have paradcd the
streets heavily armed, threatening death to
any one attempting to assist the company.
Sheriff Shares, OF Gunnison, arrived with K
posse OF twenty five men to take possession
and guard the mines No sooner had the
sheriff and his men alighted from the train
than they were attacked by about 200 armed
Italians aud Austrians, who began firing
with Wholesalers. The officer held his men
for moment, aud then ordered them to re-
turn the fire, which they did with deadly
effect killing seven of the strikers. Fur
Their trouble is feared.
