practice on 500 acres of land it was
rare sight to see weeds growing among
the crops. Sheep are great scavengers.
Briars, alders, and most annual weeds
can be kept insheck and finally eradi-
caeel by ;sheeping.' Biennials and
pae &aials must be treated in moro
cafsstl manner. Never be in too much
of hurry to stop and cut a single
weed. Alter sleeping thoroughly I
use sharp hoe to complete the work.
"When the sheep cannot have &C.

twice year, and most forms of weeds
disappear; those which do not are
spudded or cut off as mentioned
above. l bought 80 acres of weedy
land adjoining me and in two years q
weed could scarcely be found. The
cheapest help a farmer can have is a
flock OF sheep. l carried on large
farm; had from five to ten hands dur
ing summer. kept one roustabout
man TO watch the weeds and to do
anything else requiring odd work.
The worst weeds that we have to
contend with are pigeon-weed and rag
weed. Sheep will kill rag-weed if pas

Feeding Stock.

Working and growing animals need
more muscle and bone forming ma
rerials than those that are being
finished for market and one of the
advantages secured by a knowledge
OF the elements that the various ma
terials generally used for food con-
tain is a much better ration for the
purpose desired can be made up.
During the winter it is usually best to
feed a larger proportion offat. forming
foods than in summer. Nearly or
quite all fattenlng foods are heating,
and as animal heat, to a more or less
extent, must be maintained by the
food supplied during the winter, a
more fattening ration should be
given than during the summer.

CONVENTIONS.
Call for Congressional District conven-
lions for the Purpose Of Organizing Dis
trict Associations Of Clubs, and frame
acting Such Other Business as May
Come Before the Conventions,

WHEREAS, 1t is deemed to the best
interests of the party and that il will
better serve the majority of the clubs to
hold Congressional Conventions, in
stead of State Convention Of clubs,
and with view Of making the organi-
cation of clubs more efficient by. the Or
fianization Of Congressional District
Associations + clubs; it is therefore or
dered that 4 Convention of Democratic
Clubs of each Congressional district be
held. on Wednesday, the first day jof
June, 1892, at the following places !:
For the First Congressional district, at
Weston for the Second Congressional
district, at Charles Town; for the
Third Congressional District, at Ch:tr-
lesion, and for the Fourth Congression-
III District, at Rayenswood; for the pur-
pose Of organizing District Associations
of Democratic Clubs and transacting
such other business as may come be-
fore the Convention. In such Conven-
tions local Clubs will be entitled to the
following representation: All Clubs
with membership Of one hundred or
less will be entitled to five delegates:
with more than one hundred and less
than two hundred, seven delegates, and
with two hundred or more, nine dele
gates.
The obicet~of calling said conventions
to meet at the same time and places as
the conventions to elect delegates to the
National Convention, is to afford dele
gates the opportunity of attending both
conventions, thereby saving both time
and expense. The County Committees
ana those. heretofore appointed to or
gaiiize Clubs, and all Democrats who
believe in such an organization of the
party as will make it invincible in the
coming campaign are requested to as
sist in the work of organizing clubs in
every magisterial district and to have
them properly represented at the con-
yentions. L. s. RILEY, sc
Chairman of State Committee.

THE OUTLOOK.

Indications up to this time
point to the nomination of ex-
Gov. Wilson as the, Democratic
candidate for Congress. In Moi :
roe county. he has carried every
district. Monroe is an agricul-
tural county, and its people are
not only highly intelligent, but
are Conservative and their views
may be regarded as good index
Of the views Of the farmers of tie
district. The reports from Nc
Dowell, Wyoming, Raleigh and
Boone are ffattering to Goyl Will
son, while over in Mercer he will
have a fighting show. Logan
county is; for him BY large ma
ijority and we are satisfied that
Kanawha county notwithstanding
the action Of the County Execu-
tive Committee, will give him a
majority Of her delegation.

POLITICS..

With the exception of the Con-
gressional fight, there is but little
being said as to favorite candi-
dates for other positions, yet we
are satisfied that the impression
made upon the people of this
county by w. A. MacCorkle will
insure him a solid delegation in
the county. It is apparent to all
that we will need a hustler at the
head of the ticket, and one who
will go into every part of the
State and if need be, speak twice
every day until the close of the
campaign. Such man we have
in. MacCorkle. While he may
not be so eloquent as others, he
has a way of getting at the root Of
things and knows how to convince
the people of the advantages to
be derived from voting the
straight Democratic ticket. Mac
Corkle's zeal and physical endur-
ance will carry him through a
campaign when a man different
ly constituted will fail. There is
too much at stake in this cam
paign to make a mistake in The
candidate.

THE PEOPLE SHOULD RULE

Notwithstanding the fact that
Gov. Wilson carried every district
in Monroe county, and all Of them
by overwhelming majoritles, ex=
cept Wolf Greek district, in
which the vote stood, Wilson, 70,
Anderson, 6S,- Alderson's friends
are claiming two-thirds of the
delegation as no instructions
were giveny and each delegate
left free to vote his own individ-
ual sentiment. We hope nothing
fthis kind will be attempted in
this county, and we hope that the
several districts will take warn
ing by the action IN Monroe and
instruct their delegates in accord
ance with their will. The time
has passed for silencing the voice
of the people in choosing their
representatives and a misrepre-
sentation of their opinions by
their delegates will have the eff
feet of disorganizing the party.
Let US have a fair and free express
sion of the will of the people and
then let the majority rule, and no
one willhave any cause of com
plant and the nominee will have
the support of united Democ.
