SHEEP PORTRAITS.

Varieties of Sheep Differ as Widely as
Races of Men.
Here are two pictures of breeds of
sheep which are strikingly different.
The first illustration shows a Shrop-
shire ram that took first prize at the
Royal society exhibition of 1891. The
Shropshire finds much favor in the west

Breeding from Crippled Mares.

d In answer to a question from The
Rural New Yorker on this subject j. S.
Crosby writes from Greenfield, Mich:
= In my numbering operations in this
state I find it quite difficult to get such
draft horses as l need. We imported
from Canada and sent directly to the
woods about forty head of grade mares,
Shires and Clydes. They had been bred
in Canada and were half, three-quarter
and seven-eighth bloods, etc. All pur-
chased and brought here were as good
specimens as we could find in Canada,
and cost from $175 to $240 per head
there. We put them in the woods at
work at the heavy business of lumber
ing.
When we have used them two or three
years, if they become injured or debili-
tated, we send them to our farm and put
them or grass until they are in perfect
health, although not sufficiently strong
for the heavy work in the woods. They
are then bred to the stallion and used
about the farm for light work until
about four months before foaling time,
when they are again turned loose and
allowed to run until they drop their
foals. They require no treatment ex-
cept a run at the grass and a little ION
dition powder as a tonic.
We have found that it is almost i'm
possible to get a mare with the heaves
in foal. If a mare is injured in the legs
or if she has flesh wounds or other in
juries that prevent her from doing hard
work, she may be in just as good a
shape to breed as though she did not
have these wounds or injuries. It is
our experience that one seldom sees on
the colts from perfectly sound and
strongly bred stations from the Shire
or Clyde breeds any blemishes like side
bones, spavins OF other troubles that
cause lameness. We have never had
any unsatisfactory colts from the above
mentioned treatment of the breeding
question. One is perfectly safe in breed
ing mares to perfectly sound stations
with properly shaped feet and leg bones.
OF course the mares must not have
blemishes from such causes as ringbone,
sidebone, spavins or other like blem-
ishes and W. would never advise breed
ing a mare that has the heaves.

Capons.

It there were more small sized but
we'll fattened capons semitic the market
people would buy them. Not every one
cares to buy a bird of ten or twelve
pounds weight. And it is said that the
few capons that are raised in New Eng
land are usually smaller than the Phila-
delphia capons, being more frequently
made from the smaller breeds. After
they are caponized, j tcosts no more to
grow OF fatten than any other fowl, but
they sell at higher prices, because the
market is not well supplied with them.

me 1926 per 100 pounds. These hogs l
put after a bunch of cattle and they
staid with them until May II, 1891,
when I put the cattle on grass.
I fed the hogs twelve barrels of corn
at IS per barrel during the month of

ed them for 1926 per 100 pounds to be
delivered July'10. Thus, you sse, I had
twenty days to feed them and corn l

VICTORIA'S THANKS
Her Graceful Acknowledgement Of
Messages Of Sympathy.
ONLY ONE GREATER BEREAVEMENT.
The Queen Places the Loss Of Her
Grandson Second Only TO the Death
of the Prince Consort-A Rebuke
TO the German Emperor.

LONDON, Jan. eS.-The Royal Gazette
publishes the followingin relation to the
death of the Duke of Clarence:
Il must again give expression to my
deep sense of the loyalty and affection
ate sympathy evinced by my subjects
in every part of my empire on an occa-
sion more sad and tragical than any but
one which has befallen me and mine, as
well as the nation, in the overwhelming
misfortune of the death of my dearly
beloved grandson, suddenly cut off in
the flower of his age, full of promise for
the future. That he was so amiable and
gentle, and endearing himself TO all,
renders IL hard for his sorely stricken
parents, his dear young bride and fond
grandmother to bow with submission TO
the inscrutable DEGREES of Providence.
The sympathy of millions, touching and
visibly expressed, is deeply gratifying
and I wish, in our own name, and that
of our children, to express from our
heart warm gratitude Tor all these testi-
monials of sympathy with us in appre-
citation of our dear grandson, whom
loved as a son, and whose devotion to me
was as great rs that of "A son could be-
q help and consolation to me and mine.
my bereavements for the last thirty
years of my reign have been indeed
heavy, and though the labors, anxieties
and responsibilities inseparable from my
position have also been great, yet it is
my earnest prayer that God will con-
tjnue to give me health and strength to
work for the good and happiness of my
dear country and empire while life lasts
VICTORIA"
This utterancs OF the queen Is a sub
ject of general comment everywhere,
and particularly the fact that though
she has also lost two children, she
counts the death of the Duke Of Clar-
once ~ a bereavement second only TO
the death Of the prince consort, thus
confirming what has been said OF her
majesty's deep affection for her grand
son. The royal expression " also, it is
thought, intended to set ut rest rumors
~ to her majesty's health, as she prays
that she may be continued in good
health, thus averring that she il in good
health at present
1t Is thought singular, also, that her
majesty should have chosen the kaiser &
birthday as the date for the issue Of her
card of thanks for public sympathy, and
it is suggested that rebuke Is intended
for the bumptious grandson, who is re-
Yelling in festivity while his relatives
are plunged in grief.

A STATE OF SIEGE.
Rioting Strikers in Spanish Town Pre-
oipitate Heroic Measures.

MADRID, Jan. 2S.-The labor troubles
at Bilbao are among the men employed
in the copper mines in that vicinity. The
men went ON strike against reduction
in wages. They finally became riotous,
and yesterday they stoned the foot
guards who had been ordered to compel
the rioters to dispense. The foot guards
were compelled to fire upon the mob.
Affairs looked so serious that the au-
tn critics called upon the military, and
reinforcements of cavalry and infan try
were sent to assist in preserving eader.
The strikers have become so daring
that they have cut the telegraph wires
and destroyed the railway lines around
the mines. Troops were sent to disperse
them, but though the strikers were
armed only with stones and a few re-
volvers they made most determined at
tack upon the soldiery.
They had good supply of rocky am
munition, and they rained perfect
shower of missiles upon the troops. The
latter were compelled to retreat. One
sergeant and two of the strikers were
quite badly wounded.
The strikers are highly incensed by
the fact that they were fired upon and
have made many threats of revenge.
Work in all the mines is suspended and
the situation grows hourly worse. 1t is
feared that the strikers may attempt to
destroy property at the mines. and con-
sequently strong force of gendarmes
have been placed ON guard about the
mines to prevent any such attempt

NATIONAL BOARD OF TRAIE-
Some Delegates Urge Abolition Of the
Interstats Commerce Commission.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.--One hundred
and fifty delegates are present at the
meetings of the national board of trade. I
Twenty-Five new associations were adj
mitted to membership. After the re-
port of the executive committee had
been read Frederick Fraley was unani-
mously reelected president. A COM
mittee was appointed to consider the
Torrey bankruptcy bill. A resolution
III regard TO placing, by the government,
in cities of l0O, 900 or more inhabitants,
machines for testing building materials
was discussed and laid on the table.
The next resolution considered recited
that owing to the immense amount of
business crowded ON the interstate con-
merce commission, requiring years in
some instances, to reach decisions, ii has
become necessary TO relieve the commits
sioners of part of their labors. The res
olution recommended an amendment to
the Interstate Laws SO as TO create five
districts throughout the United States.
each of which shall be under the direc.
charge Of Z .,oard of three commissioners,
TO be appointed in the same manner as
the interstate commissioners. The reso-
luton was presented by the Milwaukee
chamber of commerce, and was sup
ported by the delegates.
In the discussion which followed some
of the delegates favored the abolition Of
the interstate commission, declaring il
an obstruction TO business.
Mr.. Knight, of Wisconsin, offered
substitute for the resoIuting. providing
that the United States be divided into
districts, and board of commissioners
be created by law for every district, to
hear and determine all questions arising
under the interstate commerce law in
such districts, from which appeal may be
taken to the interstate commission.
After further discussion the resolution
and substitute were referred to special
committee, with instructions to repors
before the board adjourns tomorrow

Political Spies Necessarr.

BERLIN, Jan. 28.-Chancellor Caprivi
has apparently found it impossible to
carry out his expressed intention to dis
pense with political police, or spies, and
has inserted in the estimates a grant fo1
the maintenance of this branch of the
public service His action in acting
openly in this matter is being favorably
commented upon as a welcome contrast
to the method employed by Bismarck,
who is universally believed to have Sc
cretly used the Guelph fund for the
purpose of paying the expenses of this
department.

. TRENTON LAWMAKERS.
Race Track Legislation Still the Lead
ing Subject for Discussion.

TRENTON, Jan. 2s.--The contemplated
race track legislation continues to be
the uppermost topic of discussion at the
state house. A bill was drafted this
week, but the track managers did not
fully agree upon its provisions, and it
has been withheld for alteration. The
bill, it is said, has in view the fixing of
period for racing. and the allotment of
thirty days for each track. This period
of time distributed among the six tracks
in this state would mean racing for SIX
months, or all that time between May
and Nov. in each year. Betting ON the
tracks would be legalized and the dis
orderly house section of the criminal
laws would be repealed This would
give each track share in the spoils.
Gloucester and Gutenberg might con-
tinue the whole year
In Hudson county it is impossible TO
secure an indictment now. With the
criminal law amended the same thing
would probably be true in Camden
county, where the Gloucester track is. If
the Monmouth Clifton and Union
county track owners We're able to open
their places they would not care whether
the Gloucester and Gutenberg men kept
open the whole year round or net.
One thing certain, the Gutenberg
men will not consent to anythiag that
robs them of all they now enjoy. 1t
might be that the Clifton and some of
the other track owners would do a little
winter racing themselves. A bin not
unlike the one now suggested was passed
two years ago, but was not signed by the
governor.
A bill was introduced in the house
providing that the mayor of Newark
shall be president of all public bodies in
that city, with all the privileges of a
member. There will be q lively time
when the bill comes up for final passage.
The house adjourned for the week out
Of respect to the memory of Justice
Knapp, who died on the bench Tuesday.
