MIxei Feed for sheer.

It Is more generally admitted nov than ever before in the history of our country that sheep are profitable. an d statistics show that the industry yields more in proportion to the number of sheep kept than has been the case for dozens of years The fact is clear that better sheen better mutton and more wool are being pro- duced through the efforts of farmers to give the animals the care and as- tention which they need. sheep are hardy and able to stand rough weather. and even to partly starve without dying but they do not yield their best results from such neglect The ex- periments in feeding have resulted in a complete change in the wool of cer- tain breeds and it is fact too general ly known to state that mutton. quality and quantity both considered. is greatly improved by systematic feeding.
 h the economy of sheep's life roots have always played an important part and they cannot be neglected today wan t4c tAaplostV tlStuc0> or fGeItnu.
 They supply in the most natural way the amount Of water which the dry food needs They arc not so nee essary for wool-producing sheep as for the mutton breeds, but for ewes when giving milk sugar beets mangels rn- tabagas yellow turnips ana white tur- nirs are all of inestimahle value. The roots are the most beneficial when they are cut up and mixed in proper proportion with the dry feed. Now the sheep should take thelr feed as dry as possible and the roots should no, be added so plentitully as to overload the stomach with water On the other hand. the sheep should not be allowed to drink large quantities oI water al once and they desire com. raratiyely little of this when fed roots with their dry feed.
 The roots thus come in as fixed ingredient of mixed feeds The ex.

Every restriction upon the trade has. therefore. to a greater or less sxteut tendency to diminish production and b prevent the distribution Of Ghe comforts and secessa-ies o. life among the people, We are all agreed. however. that a certain amount Of revenue aecesssry for the support of the gov- srnnent must be raised by the inpo- sitson Of duties upon imports and So lar as such duties may have & tendency so interfere with 8 free exchange of products the consequences are un- svoidsbie- But the interference should nof extend beyond the actual neoessi-

If the house can get nothing more than free wool from the senate ii should accept that A little is better than nothing and consumers might get some relief through competition among the manufacturers tnoagh probably they would not A free wool bill accepted by the house only be- cause nothing better could be got from the monopoly body al the other end Of the capitol would be an import ant gain for the cause of commercial liberty. because ii would sever the wool groxers from fhe high tariff party. If such bill should become a law the wool growers would promptly and very justly demand free or com pAranvely free woolen goods; and not only that but they would demand a downward revision of the tariff all along the line Chicago Herald

The Republicans have not Jailed 10 recognize or appreciate the importance of these considerations. except on one occasion Every campaign since the war they have taken their leader from the West except in 1884 and every campaign they have won except in 1884.
