tors of the state may not be misrepresented

cord with the sentiments Of the people. The
only purpose of making the nomination Is

gain legslized existence In Iowa.
The platform further declares that the
question of maintaining and enforcing tn.

mount issue of the coming campaign, and
recommends TO the Prohibitionists of all par
ties 10 secure by every proper means the
election to the next General Assembly OF

high grounds Of Persia, Afghanistan
and India, and that they could not ex-

sheep lived in n cold climate, and In
low heavily grassed lands. Among the
fossil remains of the sheep found in
Europe. palaeontologistS describe two
distinct species, one Of which Is named
the Marsh sheep. Even at the present
day the numerous breeds of mountain
sheep, after so many centuries of do
mestication, are entirely different in
disposition and habit of the long
woolled or low-land sheep. Indeed,
the two breeds cannot attain their full
development on the same pasture.

Drawing Water.

The cheapest and easiest method Of
drawing water from a well 100 feet
deep is by force pump and a wind
mill To convey the water TO a house
on an elevation. pipe may be attached
to the pump. and TO keep up constant
supply there should be a cistern near
the house which should hold stock for
use in case of failure of the wind at any
time. Where the cold is intense in the
winter the pump may be placed in a
cellar well protected by 4 bank over it
and double door. and the discharge
pipe should be laid in the ground be-
low the reach of frost. 1t will be q

The N-ce-snry SiIo.

Practical dairymen are coming more
and more to the conclusion that the silo
is a necessary adjunct of the dairy.
There have been strong objections
urged against it. partly through preju-
dice, partly because the best methods
Of caring for fodder in this way We're
not thoroughly understood. One hears
and reads n good deal less in opposi-
ton to the silo now than two or three,
or even one year ago. 1t has been
discovered that silo need not be
costly affair. and the proper mode Of
Glling it is much better understood
than formerly. So that the eusilage is
of very much better quality.
One of the most careful dairymen in
New England is reported TO have said
recently that milk producer with all
his capital and labor dependent upon a
large flow of milk could not afford
to be subject to the whims OF the sea-
son, and lose a large proportion Of his
income because the usual quantity OF
rain happened TO be withheld. He add
ed that he must have a supply Of en-
silage the year round as an insurance
against drouth and flood.
'Shis is the case in nutshell. 1t Is
a question Of dollars and cents. When
the pastures dry up in August, as now
adays they are almost sure TO do the
COWS begin to shrink in milk, and, at
the same time, up goes the price Of but
ter. but the dairyman who depends
on pasture feeding is powerless to take
advantage OF the rise. 1t is then that
the silo comes into play. ard the dairy
man who has one smiles to think he
is not dependent upon burnt-up pastures
and shrinking milk supply.

Don't Forget the Drainage.

1t is essential that the roadway
should be properly constructed with
reference to grading and ditching
or drainage. This is accomplished
by exeavating deep bitches at each
side of the roadway (where the road
passes through lesel land) ara the
construction at intervals Of wooden
or stone culverts or sluiceways in
order that the surplus water may be
turned aside or conducted away
from the roadbed. When broken
stone or cobblestone is used as a
foundation, an excavation is made
in the center of the roadway be-
tween the two bitches to the depth
of several inches and as wide as may
be required TO build the road.
This excavation is filed with broken
stone or cobblestone, with the addl-
tion of sand and gravel, and when
the roadbed is completed it shows
gradually sloping sides from the
center each way to the bitches on
