An Important Admission.

State Accountant Caldwell is little too
candid for the good of his party. The dem
ocrats have tried to delude the people into a
belief in the economical administration of
the state finances under their rule. They
point to decrease in the State tax levy
during Gov. Winans' term as proof of the
claim. But State Accountant Caldwell
blows their proofs to the winds by one brief
sentence, when in his report he says:
1T is true that the $4,000 direct tax
money received from the United States
government has been available for use by
the present State administration and was
taken into account in reducing the taxes OF
the past two years"

importat fact that Michigan was given this

in opposition to the combined efforts OF
Southern brigaders and Northern demo

a Good Man TO Vote For,

The office OF prosecuting attorney since
our remembrance, with hardly an eXcep-
ton, has been most ably filled and each
officer has left record that can be looked
upon with honest pride. The republicans
i'll order to keep up this enviable reputa-
ton have nominated Hon. Frank II. Wat
son, of Owosso, for this honorable position.
The duties of the public prosecutor are
probably better known to the public gene
rally, than those of any other county officer,
for the reason that so many are called each
year to serve as jurors and witnesses. How
ever, his duties are not confined to the
circuit court, as in fact every criminal case
must have its origin i'm the justice courts.
There the fact must be determined whether
or not it goes to higher tribunal.
The prosecuting attorney is also the legal
advisor of the county officers and the board
of supervisors.
In criminal matters, cognZable before a
justice OF the peace, no warrant should
issue without security has been given for
costs, unless after due investigation by the
prosecutor, he should order the warrant
issued. 1t will therefore be readily seen
that the prosecutor should be man OF
ability, good judgment and legal knowledge
and above all an honest man. If possessed

the assurance that life and property will be
protected and that the public money will
not be squandered i'm petty litigation for the
personal qualification of some quarrelsomt
and pugnacious neighbor.
Mr.. Watson, the republican nominee
possesses all of these qualifications to {
marked degree. He is a product of Shaw
assoc county, having been born in Shiawas
see township in 1857. After reaching hi,
majority he studied law in the Office o.
Judge McCurdy for six months, and ther
! went into the Office of A. r. Mcbride, wher,
he continued his course until admitted tt
the bar.
| His career has been one of activity anC
honor He twice served the county a
circuit court commissioner and also one
term as member of the state legislature
He was for time associated with Seden S
Miner in the law business and with A. l.
Chandler. For the past few years he ha
been member of the firm of Watson 4

our readers. He is man of firm convic
tlons, deseryedly popular with the peopl
and will make careful. painstal<ing an,

The Wool Tariff.

If there is any one subject more than
another that the average democratic editor
knows less about than that of wool growing
it remains yet to be determined. The Press
editor, who knows no more about sheep
raising than Hottentot does of the civil
service rules, takes an occasional ''shy" at
the question. Once he dumped on" j. w.
Hibbard and propounded some queries. Mr..
Hibbard promptly answered the queries.
1.-The letter in its entirety was too long to
print" but the sum of the Press rejoinder
was that the sheep raiser needed wisdom.
Robt. Gibbons, the veteran agricultural ed
itor of the Michigan Farmer brought the
Press writings on the wool question into
ridicule and disrepute. If there was more
wool brought into this country than ever
before under the Mckinley bill then certain
ly the price in foreign countries must have
been much lower than the American farmer
can afford to raise it for.
The theory of the free traders is that the
manufacturer can not prosper without cheap
cost of domestic wool so much as to make
it impossible for the manufacturer to COM
pete with foreign imports. At the same
time the wool grower is told that the pro-
tective duties do not raise the price Of wool
in the least, but actually depress it. so that
he can get no advantage, but only injury
from such duties. Palpable fraud is in
these assertions: either one or both must be
false. The facts prove that the manufactu-
rer has prospered under the new and higher
duties as it never prospered before, and that
the wool growers also have been so greatly
encouraged that they have rapidly increased
the number of their flocks 1,5OO, 900 i'm the
year 1891. The extreme depression of
prices i'm all other countries has necessarily
affected the market in the United States to
some extent, but the wool growers know
that the decline has been twice as great in
other countries as in this. In August 1890.
| before the new tariff was framed. 1O2 quali-
ties and grades of wool averaged in the
Philadelphia market 1916 cents per pound.
and the same qualities and grades
in the market now average 226 pei
pound. But, in foreign markets, all
wool of similar qualities has declined
far more, New SoLth Wales, at London
from 9A pence in August 1890, to ~
pence in August, 1892, or 21.6 per cent.
Protective duties have shielded the American
grower from the greater part of an extreme
depression, which but for that defense,
would have been fatal to this industry.

SHEEP SHEARINGS.

FIFTY sheep make a good flock to
keep together.
SHEEP are fond of variety of food and
thrive upon it.
SHEEP have a good coat of wool, vet
they need good shelter from storms.
If the sheep are fed sulphur, keep
them dry for few days after feeding.
FEEDING on low, wet land produces
an unfavorable condition for the sheen
HAVING the ewes in a good, thrifty
condition at Landing is better than fat.
An occasional pet lamb in the flock
Will help materially to keep the flock
tame.
IF the ewes are allowed to run down
at this time the lambs will be weak
and sickly.
ToA very considerable extent upon
the number kept depends the profit
ableness of the flock.
KEEP sheep out Of the dirt: dirty.
bury wool is always locked more than
the value of the dirt
IP the sheep must be sold, fatten
them well and sell for mutton; better
prices can be realized.
WITH fattening sheep as with other
stock, the profit lies in securing a good
weight in short time.
ONE Of the best plans of feedinglambs
Is with bottle, with a rubber nipple
fastened over the top.
SHEEP love high, dry ground, and this
should be remembered in selecting a
typical sheep pasture.
THE permanent fertility of the farm
Is gradually increased BY the number
OF sheep that are kept upon it.
ONE advantage with wool growing is
that it does not exhaust the fertility Of
the soil like grain growing.
When a eve loses her lamb she can
be put in pen and used as a wet nurse
TO help out lambs that are lost.
WOOL cannot be grown to the best
advantage from the backs of poor sheen
any more than good crops of grain can
be grown on a thin, rundown soil.
The English farmer turns his sheen
into the turnip field to gather the crop
for themselves. He thus saves the la.
Dor OF handling them, and at the same
time gets the land well manured.-

per doubled in the turns, would make
all secure; and when the lining boards
were put on, if they were well-beveled
at the edges, so that when nailed the
1olning would be good joint, there
would not be any more liability of dam
age than in the usual square" corner
my opinion the ribs need not be
nearer than feet apart, and 2 by G.
inch timber would be Of ample strength.
The doorway would present the most
serious matter, as it would need to be
either 'mauhole" cut in between the
ribs, or section door set in from the
inside and unhinged, extending up and
down across two of the ribs. Though
this would interfere to some extent
with taking out the ensilage to have a
2x6 across the doorway, if a frame of
this 2x6 stuff, IS inches by 4 feet,
were well set in at the doorway, there
would be no danger of weakening the
frame of the silo by cutting out a rib
for the door. The next lower door
could be set three ribs below, and if
the silo were very deep there could be
yet another door put in lower down.
and this would afford ample facility for
taking out the ensilage. Where the
lumber is either matched or is dressed
down to true edge, there is no real
objection to putting it on up and down,
though with this qualifcation-that if
only a single thickness of lumber is
used, it is imperative that it shall be of
the best quality and the matching per-
feet, as the air must be prevented from
gaining an entrance.
The silo here depicted would be an
excellent one to put up in barn that
had defective frame, one that could
not be depended. upon to strengthen the
backing of the silo; or if the silo was to
be an outside structure it would per-
haps be more rigid than one built with
upright studding, though there would
probably be no economy of lumber
effected. The original idea of this style
OF silo frame, except the corner cross
braces, was made public by Mr.. Geo. I.
Powell, of Client, n. Y, now the popu-
lar and efficient superintendent of the
New York state farmers Institutes
