wb.t the sheepmen want.

What the sheepmen Want.
President Campbell of the State Wool
Growers association aud the othsr officers
and members of the organization are inter-
ssted in the passage of laws to protect
thier interests, and have prepared sum-
psry Of the provisions for the protection
of shespmen. The opinion of the NOM
bsrs of the association as to what laws
are necessary for the interests OF stock
men are about as follows:
First. That the state should continusto
paw fair bounty for the destruction OF
wolves. Wolves arem are more to be
feared by the man with small flock than
by the owner Of large flock, because the
former cannot afford to KEGS heardsr,
but must, to mako profit, allew his flock
to run at large about nit placs during
good part of theyes
Second. Lisense dogs, instead of taxing
them, a. at present. In this way fund
could be provided with which to pay for
sheep destroyed BY dogs. Make the license
fec about the same A. the preasnt tax
g. for females and 81 for males. But the
tax is largely svadsd. The lissnoe Law
should be strictly enforced and the worth.
less ours that nobody. owns should be
killed. If there should be an excess in
the lisence fund at any time, il could be
turned over to the general fund. A largs
proportion of the dogs of any value are
owned by stockmsn or BY farmers who
keep stock, and the burden would fal
chiefly on those who would receive the
chief benefits. although the success Of
stock raising in this state is to thea4vant'
age Of every resident.
Third. sheep inspection and the sP'
poiatmsnt Of sheep inspsctors should bs

qualified to Judge as to who the men sr'

Why is it that farmers and moro pri-

Reservoirs on Farms.
FROM the PHILADELPHIA Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
If the farmer can avoid drouth he will
always be sure of crop. Drouth comes
unexpectedly. and either destroys bis crop
entirely or 80 reduces tho yield as to leave
bat little for his labor. The problem Of
preventing drouth, or mitigating its effects,
has been studiet for centuries; but, while
there have been several proposed solu-
tions, the expense has been barrier in
the way. Ralnmakers have tried methods
for the purpose of preventing drouth, but
with unsatisfactory results, and rivers
have been made to provids water in un
limited supply, but the majority of far
mers ere not 90 situated as to be able to
use the methods proposed. With the
great improvements in windmills and
pumps, however. have followed a cheapen-
ing of the cost Of water supply. and expert
ments within the past five years have
demonstrated that in many localities the
farmers can greatly reduce the effects of
drouth by providing a supply of water at
a minimum expense, and at profit pro
portionately exceeding any outlay in that
direction.
The only difficulty in the way is to ar
range some plan by which watsr can be
stored until wanted for use. This may be
done in reservoirs on farms and in large
tanks for email areas. No particular plan
of arrangement can be mentioned, as too
much depends on the location of each farm,
its diversity of surface and other condi-
tions, but the fact remains that wherever
windmllls can be used the farmer can store
supply of voter which will be always
rsody for use. It is only necessary that
the water be stored SO - to permit of its
flow by grovity. It is estimated that one
windmill will irrigats two acres or more,
and, if there is large reservoir, and suf-
acient storage capacity, seven acres may
bs provided with Water, estimating for
the quantity required other than from .
supply by rains. In arid regions the water
must be in abundance, but the Windmill is
intended 90 an assistant to the clouds, and
net to oprovide more than the proportion
needed during dry season.

THE POTATO rlARKET.

Potatoes are so plentiful every.
where that there is no profit in ship,
ping them. J. G. Roller shipped
some to Cincinnati early in the sea-
son, but has now cased. He believes
that potatoes will advance in price as
freezing weather comes. All the way
from twelve to eighteen cents is be-
ing paid for potatoes, the latter price
for extra fine ones by private families.
The potato crop is bountiful one
this year.
