SHEEP IN WINTER.
Feed Economically, But Keep Them in
 Good Condition.

Feed Economically, But Keep Them in
 Good Condition.
 With sheep as with other stock it is important to keep in a good, thrifty condition, but at the same time it is necessary to do this as economically as possible. One of the principal objects in sheltering is that less feed, especial. ly less grain, is needed than when they are exposed, and this, of course, les sens the cost, while in nearly all cases the sheep will be thriftier and healthier and grow better fleece of wool But sheep will not bear close confinement as well as other stock, and arrange ments should be made to allow them Co run out every day that the weather will permit When the ground is bare and not too soft the wheat or rye fields are good places for the breeding ewes, but when this cannot be allowed, good-sized lot, where they can run out in pleasant weather, should be made, and in this way plenty of opportunity for exercise be afforded. A good va riety should be supplied not only in grain but with roughncSs. The best plan is to begin feeding lightly at first and then gradually increase until they are put on full rations. How rapidly this should be done can only be de- termined by the supply of feed in the pastures nd the condition of the sheep. One of the best grains for maintaining animal heat is corn, and in cold weather this can always b2 fed to advantage The most economical plan of feeding is to h vc the corn shelled and shallow troughs should be supplied for feeding. Oats IS a good grain to make a good growth and development of bone and muscle and is one of the very best grains for breeding ewes and growing sheep When wheat is low, as it is now a. compared with corn and oats, it can often be used to good advantage Il feeding sheep during the winter Other grains can be used, but these, if properly managed, with bran and oil meal, will make up a sufficient variety. Then for roughncss, good corn fodder clover or miilct hay, with straw, will make up a good supply. Unthrcshcd oats make a good winter feed for sheep, especially if they are first run through a cutting box and small quant. .ty of bran is added. Sheep, more than other stock, require good troughs and racks for feeding economically. If fed enough to keep them thrifty, they are inclined to pick over and waste their food and for this reason the better plan is to feed them light rations and to feed oftener Let them eat what is given them reasonably clean, but keep the racks clean. Gauge the ration by their condition, but feed economically and yet sufficiently to keep them thrifty St. Louis Republic.

THERE WAS A TIME
When Train Robbery Was Not
 a Crime.
Through a Singular Oversight Man Is Serving a Life Sentence
 at Yuma.

Judge A. c. Baker yesterday, for Hon. E. M. Doe, filed in supreme court ap- plication for a writ of habeas corpus in the case of J. J. Smith, now serving a thirty-year sentence at Yuma, for at tempted train robbery. smith was in- dicted and convicted in Yavapai county f,uI years ago for an attempt to rob a train on the Atlantic X Pacific railroad The conviction took place under an un- usually severe law framed to discourage the peculiar enterprise of gentlemen who seek by unlawful means to ap- propriale part of the profits of weak and struggling railway corporations, Under the law Smith might have been sentenced to death, but the court was comparatively lenient and he was given what was equivalent to life term in the penitentiary.
 Something seems to have been strange ly overlooked and that is that at the particular time of Smiths convection there was no law in the territory de- fning attempted train robbery to be a crime. The very severity of the law which had been applied to Smith, like those Spartan edicts of Lycurgus, had destroyed itself; it had been repealed. Last Saturday MT. Doe was retained by friends of Smith to secure his release and the filing of the application for a writ Oi habeas corpus yesterday was the initial move,

Incidentally gold mine was E.,,yered in the course of the same dream If indeed it may be called a I,s,m Mr. Ellit insists that it was sn,s dream, but an actual spiritual ex- a,,,sn,p he believes that he actually i.,ant talked with his brother during cha, pyperlence and that the really be- bsl tbe things which have since met bis bodily vision.
 Mr. EIIit's experience has recently attracted scientific attention and yester- dev he received the following communi- cation:

Human limitations Of Vegetables

Referring to the fact that the human
head is sometimes facetiously and ir-
r6verently spoken Of as "a cocoanut,"
the Boston Transcript remarks that sci
entists have recently discovered re-
markable resemblance between the she'll
of the fruit and the shell of tho human
brain. Then it quotes French scien-
tifc periodical to prove that there is a
wonderful likeness between other hu-
man organs and vegetable products
For example. the meat Of the English
walnut is close copy of the form and
convolutions of the brain; plums and
cherries are like the eye; almonds are
shaped like the nose; the ear is brought
to mind by an opened oyster and she'll;
IN mammoth squash the entire body
may be traced; the open hand is found
in growing scrub willow and celery, and
the heart is seen in the German turnip
and the eggplant.
