Sheep Shearings.

ESPECIALLY when on dry feed sheep
need a good supply of water
LOOK over the flock and sell the
sheep that show the least improve
ment.
INFERIOR sheep are often drug
when good sheep sell readily at good
prices.
NEVER allow sheep to be fright
ened or run by dog or in any way
be disturbed.
IF any of the ewes have poor teeth
it will always pay to feed them
ground feed.
A SHEEP kept thrifty will shear a
heavier and better fleece than one
poorly kept.
In commencing to feed grain to
sheep, feed small quantity at first
and gradually increase.
The farmer that is too carelss to
give sheep good care will do better
with some other class of stock.
SHEEP of different ages and condi-
tions should be sorted into different
lots and the weaker ones have a little
better feed.
WITH comfortable surroundings
which implies dry warm shelter and
regular feeding, a small amount Of
grain can be made to count.

that might otherwise be practiced
upon the farmers. But with all
this, are they exercising as great care
as they should in the selection of the
goods they use? The requirements of
the soil should be fairly well under
stood, and then a better estimate can
be made Of what is best adapted to
the soil to which it is applied. There
is another point that ought also to
be considered, that various fertiliz-
ing elements exist IN very different
forms, which present very different
commercial values as we'll as fertiliz-
ing values, 1t is important then
that the farmer should become sutfi-
GENTLY acquainted with these values
in the different forms in which they
may be found, SO as to be able to
judge of the desirabilitY of a fertil-
iZer. When, as is the case in the
State of Rhode Island, the difference
between the selling price and CONNER
cial prices ranges from 500. 33 per ton
to the small difference of two cents
per ton, it can be seen how much
may be saved by the application of a

vantage. Do not let crops go to
waste, but secure them promptly
when matured, look after the stock
while at pasture, give the work ami
mails healthy food, feed regularly, and
do not water them too warm. If the
harness, vehicles, or machinery have
any weak points, repair in time and
do not wait until a break occurs that
may cause hours of lost time in a busy
season Keep the fences in good re-
pair, thereby saving your own crops
and keeping on good terms with your
neighbors. Sell crops and stock when
a fair price can be obtained. Ii a
neighbOr has stock for sale cheap and
you have the pasture, or feed, to still
further add to it's value, then make a
deal Trading sharpens the wits, and
makes one more observant of honest
opportunities.

A BLANKET Of Snow.

A winter covering of snow for the
fields, grass, or grain, is extremely
beneficial, preventing deep freezing
of the soil, keeping the plants and
their roots at an almost uniform
temperature, and the almost daily
freezing and thaWing that occurs on
land not thus protected. The cover
ing Of snow should be made as uniform
as possible by placing branches of ever
greens or any other obstruction about
the open spaces in fields and especially
upon the knobs and other elevations
where the wind sweeps away the
fallen snow These distractions need
not be placed in position until the
ground Is frozen solid, when other
farm work is not pressing, and should
there be an open winter the protec-
tion afforded by the distractions
alone will amply repay the labor and

nailed across from one upright to the

diameter, driven in the ground fiat

Farmers and Fertilizers.

There are truths IN connection
with farming that are known and
have been expressed many times, and
yet are of a character that require
repeating over and over and over
again, SO as to keep them constantly
before the minds of farmers. One Of
these is a want OF knowledge Of the
requirements Of the farm as relates
to the application of fertilizers. Most
of the States provide through their
experiment. stations for the deter
m nation Of the fertiizing value Of
the various compounds that are
thrown upon the market, and SO far
as this goes is Of service and protec-
ton against undiscoverabie frauds

When 10 Water a Horse.

DR.. G. E. Cary, B. s., D. V. NJ, of
the veterinary department Of the Da-
kota Farmer, says: 1.-The horses
stomach is small, and if water is
given Immediately after feeding, a
great portion of the food is washed
beyond the stomach before the gastric
digestion has occurred Thus a great
rart OF the food is lost and, in many
Instances, is liable to induce indiges-
tion, ETC. Always water your horses
before feeding, and never water them
for two or three hours after feeding,
and YOU will save food and have
stronger and healthier horses.

Board Fences.

Every farmer who builds board
fence knows that the main cost is the
posts and digging the holes and set
ting them. If we buy frst-rlass
locust posts they cost 20 to % cents
each, and it takes two for each rod;
and if we set cheap posts they rot off
in a few years and the fence must be
rebuilt. More than fifteen years
ago. writes Waldo L. Brown in the

MARK all the grain bags.

will pay.
A RICH soil is an essential item in
the growing of good crops.

you can and wash the butter grains

LINsEED and cotton seed (cake or

TIE farmer who raises uniformly
good CROPS does not suffer much from
the fluctuations in price, The good
crops pay profit over production
even when prices are the lowest.
By judicious feeding, well bred
2-Year-old steers may be made to
weigh upward Of two pounds for
each day of their lives. At that
rate of gain beef production can be
made profitable.
Corn is the great food for fatten-

Swine, however, will be able to d.
gest more Of it, if allowed turnips,
potatoes, carrots Or beets and some
bran instead of nothing at all but
corn. Too much corn will make them
'clOyed."
To Prevent Washouts in Grain Fields.
If comparatively level fields are
sown to wheat or rye, burrows should
be made that will quickly carry off
all the superfluous water, says the
American Agriculturist. The fur
rows should follow the the lowest por-
ton Of the field, even if it be a
tortuOus course. It is best to do this
Immediately after seeding, but it may
be done at any time before the ground
becomes frozen solid. OF course. some
of the grain will be DESTROYED, but by
scattering, with fork or shovel, the
upturned soil, only the plants IN the
immediate channel will be lost, and
this precaution often saves ten times

RUMOKs AND RUMuRs.


Elder Harrison and Miss Carter SAID to

For the past week rumors have been
i'll circulation coupling the names of
Mr.. j. G. Harrison, formerly minis
ter of the Christian church Of this
city, and Miss Jennie Carter, formerly
teacher in the primary department
of the Redwood schools. in. very
delicate manner. The rumors have it
that Mr.. Harrison has given up Mrs.
Harrison, and eloped With Miss Carter,
and that the elopement was effected
some time ago, and that the couple
are now residing i'll California. The
fact that Miss Carter, was not above
reproach, while in this city. gives cur
rency to the rumor.
But Mrs. Harrison, who is in the
city at the present time, emphatically
denies the elopement. She states that
Mr.. Harrison is in California for his
health and that she receives letters
from him constantly. eff he has any
desire for putting me aside, he does
not express it, she said. You know

Mrs. Harrison frankly admitted
that Miss Carter was in the same town
with her husband. in California. and
stated that her husband appraised her
of the fact as soon as Miss Carter ar
rived there. Miss Carter was in Col
orado when Mr.. Harrison first left
Iowa for California, in search of
health, and it appears that as soon as
she heard of his cnange, she followed
him. What their relations are the
