ENGLISH SHEEP BREEDERS.
The Way In Which They Care for and
Manage Their Flocks.

The Way in Which They Care for and
Manage Their Flocks.
Sheep farmers in England do not all
follow the same methods of care and
management of their focks, says John
where they have shaded permanent
pastures the sheep are allowed to roam
at large for a portion Of the season. In
other parts of the country they are
folded in hurdles summer and winter.
In some cases they are folded on
grass land. and moved every day; in
others they are kept in folds, the grass
being cut and fed in racks-in this case
they are moved atrcgular intervals, so
that in either case by this system the
land is regularly and evenly MANFRED.
And again. in other cases, the land is
sown with vetches; the sheep are then
folded on this land, the vetcles being
cut forward of the fold, and also fed in
the racks. Another thing the flock
masters are very particular about is to
use nothing but q first-class ram, even
in the docks that are onlyllept for wool
and mutton. They attend the ram
sales and buy the best they can get. /
kno" of a breeder that sold last year
at the Cirencester ram sale forty rams
that brought enough money to pay the
rent on a good farm Of eight hundred
acres, and the most Of these rams
would be bought for crossing.
But to determine just how far we
can follow the English practice of
management in our focks we must
first consider the different circum-
stances in which we are placed-our
hotter climate in summer, the more in
tense cold in winter, the smallness of
u hocks, cost of labor, value Of the
product, etc. Yet in many ways, to a
certain extent at least, we would do
well to follow their example in the
care and management of their hocks.
And, while the hot sun and severe
frost may be against us to some extent,
our climate as a whole is ahead of the
English climate for the health and
growth of sheep.

Remarkable Feat in Surgery Performed
by 3 French Physician.
At the Bicetre hospital in Paris, says
the London Daily News, the we'll
known surgeon, M. Landry, lately per-
formed a curious operation on ! work
man OF Belgium nationality. The
Belgian, it appears, got drunk a short
time ago and was taken to the police
station at GENTLY when in a state of
utter helplessness. While he was in
the cells another d%runkard, a mechan-
zeal engineer named Machant, was
brought in in a state bordering on
delirium tremens. Machant was in a
terribly excited. state and he attacked
his fellow prisoner with extraordinary
ferocity, striking him, and, horrible to
relate, biting off both his ears.
When he came to himself Machant
became very penitent and asked to be
taken to the bedside Of his victim, who
was now in the Bicetre hospital, in
order to ask his forgiveness. DR..
Landry, who was there, said: "Should
you like to give him back his ears?"
Certainly" said the man. ssThen..
said the doctor, sslet me cut a couple Of
small slips of flesh from your arm and
it can be DONE" The man consented
and the doctor did as he had suggested.
The pieces Of flesh he shaped as well
as he could to the likeness Of a pair Of
ears and Joined them to the wounded
places. According to the latest &C.
counts the operation has been a COM
plete success.

Editor NATIONAL WATERMAN, Wash
ington D. C.
Dear Sir:
l ana in receipt Of your letter asking
my candid opinion OF the National
Watchman and urging me, IN the in
terest OF the Peoples Party, to push it's
circulation IN my vicinity. I am also in
receipt OF a copy OF your paper.
/ have received and read the paper
from time to time and have found many
good things in 1T, being particularly IN
terested in articles on national matters,
particularly during the sessions OF con
gress. / ana satisfied that the National
capital is the place of all places for a
wide awake, fearless and true blue Peo-
ple's Party paper.
You stated in your last issue that the
time had come when trash should not
be tolerated and that you have deter
mined to hereafter review all books sent
you before advertising them or offering
them to the public, A very wise de-
clsion and experience has taught me
that the same care should be exercised
with regard to papers. Everywhere
populist papers are advertising, for
mere exchange, old party papers whose
every endeavor is to thwart the aims
and principles OF the new party, surely
this is lnconsistant, but ever here the
danger il not 30 great as is the danger
from incompetent, dishonest or traitor
papers within our own ranks. The
Black Hill UNION did much free adver-
tising for the Chicago times, believing
that in it we had just the fearless and
truthful daily that the party needed.
Its circulation increased rapidly; the
people were ready to upheld it, when
alas! Shylock captured it and it passed
into the Democratic ranks. Then in

FRIDAY. MARCH 10, 1895.

FRIDAY. MARCH Is. 1895.
The subject Of irrigation is now
the predominant n III this com
munlty, and in Importance out
ranks all others, for upon it's sue
cessful solution depends the capa-
bility of this country to support q
dense population OF the human
race. That there were many plans
and methods Of obtaining good
results we're brought out by the
discussions at the irrigation COL
vention on Tuesday; but the great
est obstacles encountered were the
cost entailed by any Of the enter
prises and the scarcity of local
capital, caused by repeated failures
Of many kinds Of crops in this Sec
ton Of the state. A majority of
the convention were Of the opinion
that the proper place to appropri-
ate the waters Of the Black Hills
streams we're to construct a dam
across the bed Of the stream above
the point within the foothills
where the waters sinks, and CON-
veying the waters onto the sum-
mits of the divides between the
creeks and storing the water in
reservoirs. This would require q
large outlay Of capital for con-
structing several miles of ditch
before the water could be utilized
for irrigation. Another difficulty,
in divelting Rapid creek around
Rapid City, as proposed by some
persons, is that it destroys the wa.
ter-poWer OF sites which are valid
in law, and can not be curtailed
except by giving the parties inter-
ested a recompense sufficient to
cover their loss.
It lie possible that this may be
accomplished by bringing the
water in a pipe through Rapid
City and thence on to the divides,
allowing the owners of mill-sites
to use part Of the force of the wa
ter rushing through the pipe for
driving their machinery. The
cost Of an iron pipe for such a pur-
pose would require so large an
expenditure in money at the COM
mencement that it does not seem
practical at present; but the pipe
can be made Of wood, held together
BY iron hoops, and . very small
amount Of cash required; the prin-
lcipls part Of cost being labor Of
men and teame IN manufacturing
and transporting lumber from the
forest to the line Of the ditch.

'structed that will stand q high
