SHEEP SUGGESTIONS.

COOP straw makes good fodder for
sheep. 1t must be good straw, re,nem-
ber
If we are to be successful in produc-
ing early lambs, we must not attempt
to do business in a slipshod way. Roth
the eve and lamb must have the best of
care.
Oil meal is growing In popularity as
a food for sheep, and we are glad to
note the fact. 1t would be an excel
lent thing if every focls-master could
feed some.
II sheep is in very poor condition in
the fall Of the year, it is better to kin
and bury the animal than to fool with
it through the winter. The chances are
that it will die anyway.
1T will be necessary to remember that
roots are principally water, and that if
the breeding eve is given too much of
this cold water, while carrying the
lamb, abortion may result.
THE sheep is an easy animal to fatten.
and the most of the fat could be laid on
with less grain, if there was n little
more care given to the matter of feed
ing. No animal should be recklessly
fed, the sheep especially.
ROBERT GUMS, of Michigan, asserts
that wool growing will pay ut Thirty
five cents per pound for wool and E.ut-
ton will pay at four and five cents "a
pound, If the business is well managed.
We think that that is true, but the
sheep business can not possibly pay at
less prices.
IT need hardly be said that a focls-
master has no right TO complain of the
unprofitablcness of sheep husbandry,
unless he has given the best of manage
mcnt to the business. There are n good
many failures in all lines OF business
that are the direct result of poor man

Seminary at Ballard.

Statements have been made that Ballard
was and was not to be selected as the site
for the new university building, and the
report is now current that the spot has
been definitely chosen and will be named
in the bill which goes before the legis-
lature. According to that bill Ballard will
not be selected as the site, although there
are many of her citizens who firmly be-
lieve that such will not be the case. In
any event there will be another institution
of learning which will be located within
the city boundaries, and will even over
shadow the university.
Some time ago plot Of land was given
to the Sisters of the Good Shepherd for the
purpose of erecting seminary, and con-
siderable money was also presented to the
order for the purpose of constructing the
required buildings.
Plans are now being drawn for build
ing to cost in the neighborhood of $780,
GOO. There will be accommodations for
some five hundred pupils. besides the
usual quarters for the sisters. 1t is ex-
pected that work will commence on the
building early in April or May, and that
it will be formally opened in 1892. The
building viii command a fine view of the
bay and Sound, with large grounds sur
rounding it. This is considered good
news by the people of Ballard.

The address was a patriotic and most
eloquent tribute to the memory OF Sher-

appreciation of the audience twice ex-
ceeded the bounds of conventional church
etiquette, when the eloquence OF the
speaker was greeted with hearty applause.
At the conclusion of the service large
number of the veterans filed past the
speaker to express their admiration OF his
words.
He dwelt with eloquent power upon the
sublime heroism of the brave who died in
freedoms cause and declared it to be vi
carious sacrifice, and feeling tribute was
paid to the unknown dead who made this
sacrifice on the battletields of the
rebellion. He expressed warm
partiality. for the courageous Western
troops, who were characterized through
out BY confidence of ultimate triumph,
and who, under Grant and Sherman. dis
membered the rebellion, cleaving it in
twain at the Mississippi and then again
from Atlanta to the sea.
He had no sympathy with any religion
which would detract from the need OF
praise of Sherman or Sheridan because
they were Catholics. The Catholic
religion, he said, when embraced with
sincerity, is true religion, and Sherman
or Sheridan were to be honored alike with
Grant and Thomas. The bravery and
courage Of the Southern soldiers also re-
ceived recognition at the hands of the

ADJUSTMENTS.

Seattle people are naturally curious to
know just what stuff the leading members
OF Cordray's new company are made of.
The old company gave considerable de-
light, and took with the public splendidly.
The first essay of the new combination
will be made tonight, when Miss Agnes
Lane will appear as Madeline in 1.-THE
Mountebank," and Mr.. Clay Clement in
the title role. Merit always commands
recognition. and if the records of success
are any indication of ability, the two lead
ers cannot fail to create very favorable
impression, or to meet with hearty re-
ception. The play is well staged and the
cast Is strong, so that most successful
production is assured.

OUR ITALIAN PROBLEM.

From he Richmond Times.
The sentiment, called forth by the New
Orleans case, is plainly gaining ground all
over The United States that revision Of
our immigration and naturalization laws
would be avisable. These laws were made
broad and liberal in the early days OF the
republic because the country then was
mostly wilderness and needed filling
up. Now we have already G0,000,000 peo-
pie, whose natural increase is enormous,
and who will soon require all of our
unoccupied lands. The same necessity
for large immigration which existed then
does not, therefore, exist now, and If inn
migration should cease entirely the couu-
try can well afford to do without it.
IL would seem most reasonable that our
immigration laws should be revised to the
point of requiring immigrants to be of the
best classes of settlers; also that our foreign
treaties should be so changed as TO relieve
the United States Of all responsibility for
penalties inflicted upon Objectionable
foreign subjects for lawlessness and crime
committed while enjoying the protection
which our laws afford.
