FATTENlNG SHEEP.
Rations Which will Best Prepare Them
for Market.

for Market.
The feeds available for feeding sheep
on the western farms are mainly corn
and corn fodder, oats and clover hay,
with the addition in some sections of bar
ley, in others rye, others bran and shorts.
and in still others oilmeal. The tempta-
ton of farmers will be to feed sheep en-
tirely on corn, to give them all they will
eat, allowing something to remain over
in the trough, as they do with hogs and
cattle, but in this they will make a seri-
GUS mistake. They will also be tempted
to feed for long periods, and in this they
will make another mistake. Corn is too
highly carbonaceous and hence too heat
ing in its character, and while it is the
most available feed it requires some
cooling and laxative coarse food. and for
this there is nothing better than clover
hay.
Sheep should have a ration of from
1855 to 1.6, in which / represents the al
buminoids and the higher figure the car
bohydrates. The simplest ration that
could be made, and which in the case of
yearling wethers would be very nearly
right, would he four pounds of clover
hay to one pound of shelled corn. This
would give a ration of 1853, which
would be about the amount of hav and
grain that a full grown sheep would con.
sumo in one day.
A better ration than the above for one
sheep two days or for two sheep II dav
would be eight pounds of clover hay,
n pound shelled corn and one pound
OF oats, would give a ratio Of 1906. A
still closer ration for three sheep one dav
or TOR n sheep three days would be
twelve pounds of clover hay, one pound
OF shelled corn, one pound of oats and
one pound of bran, which would give q
ratio of 1853. Another ration for four
sheep n day or n sheep four days
would be sixteen pounds of clover hay.
one OF corn, one of oats. one of bran and
one OF oilmeal, which would give a ratio
Of 1856.
From this the reader who has clover
hay as a basis a construct a ration that
will be very nearly balanced from the
material he has OH hand. It might be
stated in advance that sheep like variety
of food, but it should be of a variety to
which they are accustomed, and hence
very great care should be used in feed
ing oilmeal. It is also important not to
get the sheepoff their feed. which can be
very easily done by giving them too
much corn, and, as in the case of cattle.
some two or three weeks should be taken
to get the fattening flock on full feed. It
is best to feed three times per day and to
keep an eye to the weather.
In case of wet and muggy weather
sheep often less than in cold,
clear weather, and the result will be that
something will be left in the troughs.
This should be cleaned out at once and
no more feed given than they will eat up
clean and with a vigorous appetite. we
doubt very much if it will pay to feed
sheep all the grain they will eat for more
than six weeks.-Iowa Homestead.

L. G. Shinn was out to his farm yester-
day and saw an evidence of the cold snap
that has prevailed in this section for the
past few days that was astonishing. He
says that box elder trees along the route

intense cold. This is something that has
never happened before in the history Of the

Mr.. AND Mrs. c. H. PHEL
Explains His Authority.

AARAoAAo ~ "a
At the last meeting of the Fargo city
council Mayor Smith presented a CON-
munlcation regarding his authority in the
matter of blind pigs, and of this the follow.
ing is an extract:
Soon after my mayoralty began, l
honestly endeavored to ascertain what was
official duty regarding blind pigs. l
consulted six of the most able lawyers
within my Observation-Disclosures to whom l
would first 20 and in whose legal advice l
would have most confidence in a personal
legal matter of my own, lawyers ranging
from the United States judge dowr-
neither one knowing what the others
opinion was or might be, therefore entirely
unbiased, and without exception, the fol-
lowing was what they declared to be my
duty, to-wit: THAT when a complaint was
made to me regarding a blind pig.
it was my duty to send the name
of that complainant together with
his complaint to the district attorney, and
that when | had done this my legal duty
as mayor was performed; that the re-
spoGsibility of enforcing the prohibition
law rests with the district attorney" Now,
then, no such complaint has ever been
made to me when l have not sent it to the
district attorney, and l am at all times
ready to receive and to send such com
plants: in fact, only two such complaints
have ever been made, and when the first
n of these found that / was to send his
name to the district attorney he immedi-
ately withdrew that complaint, and when
! urged him to make it, replied, "Oh, no:
1 won't do that, it would hurt my trade
n they might burn my buildings"
The blind pig question, and especially in
Fargo, has been a source OF considerable
trouble to city officials. and the above ex-
tract is merely typical of the general
status of the question.

he bank deposits OF New York
city were greater by 1920 700 when
the doors were closed Saturday after,
noon than they were when they closed
at the same hour a week go. The
bank reserves were greater by 49,
740,725. Similar increases of reserve,
and deposits have been chronicled by
Dun's and by Bradstrect's al the close
Of each week for the past two months.
The conclusion is unAvoidable-il is
not scarcity of money that is the cause
of the present depression of trade.
Money is exceedingly plentiful.
But Saturdays reports are that.
while the banks have been receiving
increases of deposits, the volume OF
their loans is decreasing. The
volume of loans IN New York was less
by moro than three and a half millions
for the week ending Saturday than
for the previous week.
Why? Not because the bankers are
unwilling to loan money on fi~rst-class
security, but because people able TO
give first-class security are unwilling
to borrow money.
Why are people 10 unwilling to
borrow money? Because they are
uncertain as TO the future value OF
the thing TO be produced or purchas-
cd with borrowed money. No sane
man borrows $4,000 for the purchase
of goods at S1S per unit if he expects
that the unit price will be SIG at the
time when be is called to repay his
loan. No sane man borrows $4,000
to build houses that will sell for no
more than $4,000 when built. No
san manufacturer borrows 100000
to meet his weekly wage list for
hree months while he believes that
the product of the labor for which he
has paid 100000 will be forced into
competition with the product of labor
that ost less than halt as much.
Here, then, is the cause of strgn-
ton. Manufacturers are moi, pa, :n,

The decline in railroad earnings, by

lantlc TO the Pacific, is appalling. The
Financial Chronicle. the most careful
of authorities. estimates the losses in
August and September TO be at the
rate of fully S25O,O0 900 a year. With
a wheat crop far below the average,
and the worlds crop too small to
meet the requirements of actual con-
sumption, the American harvest of
400, 100000 bushels is being sold at
figures so low that Western farmers
feed wheat TO their hogs. The price
last week fell to &c cents a bushcl.

sentiment which underlies q national
law for national elections:
"No one can appreciate more than

gence and a great deal 10 his patriot

States. When the citizen of the best
locality and of the most illustrious
State comes here, beneath this canopy
of States, inscribed with all these
great and memorable designs
and thrilling notices, representing
liberty, equality. justice and industrial
progress, he will be filled with a new
inspiration that should carry him
