at first, but as the fertility of the
pastures increases so may the num-
bers of sheep gradually, and high
degree of extensive agriculture may
result.
AS most depredations with the
flocks take place at night, there
could be recourse to the oriental
way of folding them. This would
call for less labor than getting in the
cows and milking twice day.
There is very little labor involved
in the care of sheep.
Diaries replaced by tiocks of sheep
would bring relief to farmers wives,
because they would have less help
to board and no milk to take their
time and care. The lessening of the
bills for hired hands is in itself a
factor toward success with sheep.
A flock of sheep should return 100
per cent. profit in wool and lambs,
beside doing the pastures good and
paying for all they consume. AL
most any young man can begin with
small flock and learn to care for
increasing numbers as his pastures
and circumstanc permit.
Even if wool be so low that its
profit is not worth reckoning, there
is no domestic animal on the farm
which will show so large a profit in
the keeping-which will pay the
farmer who feeds it so high a price
for the food consumed as the sheep
which annually brings lamb; but
certainly the wool is to be counted
as something.

Poultry.

Inbreeding produces fine exhibit
ton birds, where feathers, size and
shape are nearly all alike-almost
perfect from the judges view; but,
as rule, these show birds show a
wonderful amount of stupidity and
lack of vitality; they are slow to
move, slow to lay and slow to de-
velOp.
If we would keep up the vigor and
fecundity of our tlocks we must in
fuse new blood into them. If SER
vice, or profit or vigorous growth is
desired, there must be a frequent
change of cockerels in the focks.
Inbreeding has its objects, but these
are more for the fancier than for the
practical poulterer.
The true chicken cholera is very
rare disease, and many times when
flock begins to die off rapidly the
trouble is simply bowel complaint,
arising from improper food or from
| impure drinking water, and when
this is the case the remedy is TO i'm
prove the food and surroundings.
The vigor of hens becomes eX-
hausted after long period of egg
laying, so that they do not take the
amount of exercise they should. Al
this time the feeding of wheat, SC
scattered that they have to work tC
get it, is better than to let them &C
without grain. If they have the
run of the wheat fields after harvest
they soon go to laying again, and, il
not too old, lay all the winter.
1t is folly to do anything by the
halves. Whether one is raising
fowls for the market, or is in the
business for eggs, or is merely keep
ing poultry for family use, it will
pay to start with pure bred stock
In handling the best there is more
money, more satisfaction and better
success.
Every year the people are learn
ing the value OF eggs more and more
as an article of diet, and are health.
Ter and happier in consequence
Production is not keeping pace with
consumption in the egg business
although it is hard to see any gooC
reason why this is the case in this
large country.

Luther McAdam's young trotter,

Young Richard Curtis, of Lexing-

Set your mark for these weights.
Farmers can now see what the
markets demand, and if they go on
breeding scrubs, mules and trotters,
they will be sure of getting the pre-
vailing low prices of less than 500.
Our own markets and the export
trade all want coachers and heavy
draft horses, and there is no limit to
the number wanted.
Out of our l6 millions of horses of
the last census one million have
died or worn out. The horse buyers
have been abroad in the land and
culled over and over again until we
have only the cheapest of this cheap
production left, while the CONNER
cial demand is regaining its lost
ground. How can the demand be
supplied?
It is useless to wait for high prices
for either scrub or medium horses
but it takes five years to get good
horse to market. The demands
have passed these low grades in
everything, whether it be horses or
beef or butter. Procure the remain
ing few good mares and breed to the
best pure bred sires.
In our city fire engines we do not
see any little trotters, but pair of
grade draft horses galloping wildly
through the streets with great five
ton engine which would require
four little trotters to haul; and these
large horses show remarkable in
telligence and courage, running like
war horses, with no nervous non
sense about them to get frightened.

Sheep,

Bells are not costly, and a dog
never molests a sheep with one on.
If necessary, bell every second
sheep in the flock. 1t is said that
the horned Dorset sheep will protect

are a good addition to the flock.
Eastern hill farms will never re-
turn to their old time productive
ness until trampled and enriched by
sheep. Large flocks can not be kept

Horses.

Let us breed for heavy weights,
and we will get all the light and
medium weights we want. Horses
weighing a ton command fancy
prices because they are very scarce.
Such horse, if sound, will readily
bring over 5000, and even teams
somewhat lighter will bring 500.

Swine.

Better keep the hogs in a pasture
for healthy exercise than to have
them working over the manure
heap. 1t does the manure good, but
is of questionable benefit to the
hogs, beside, it is not just the kind
of feeding we want in raising our
own meat, nor in popularizing pork
eating.
The celebrated beech nut bacon is
fed and favored with beech nuts
and sells higher than the mud and
filth favored bacon of pigs which
root their corn out of the mud and
manure which has accumulated fol
years, and gets worse continually
Cleanliness in every shape pays

In shipping light weight hog;
there is tendency to overcrowd The
car. This is doubtful economy, anC
especially in hot weather is thu
practice apt to entail considerable
loss. There should be enough to fiji
the car, but there should be no pill

Usually it is not best to attempt
to fatten hogs when the weather il

to properly fit for market; and one

Populist Orator Who Would Air Hi

arrested yesterday afternoon on the charge
of disturbing the peace. He was released
upon his own recognizance by Chief Ser
viss 10 appear for trial this morning.
Hewlett and a number of others were en-
gagged in a political wrangle at the corner
of Sixth street and Minnesota avenue. Of
ficer Bradbury requested them to open up
the sidewalk, whereupon the Populist nom-
inee became very abusive, and asked the
officer IL he knew he was addressing can
didate for the legislature. OEcer Brad
bury replied that he could not help that
it was his duty to keep the sidewalk clear,
and in a gentleYnanly way again requested
them to disperse. Hewlett shook his fist
in the officers face and defied him to lay
hands on a single man in the crowd.
IF you want to arrest anybody, arrest
me-" he said. You are a coward, and !
propose to air my views IL 1t stops all busf-
ness In Wyandotte county"
His request was promptly gratified by
Officer Bradbury. VINO marched him to the
police station, where his oyerbearing con-
duct was succeeded by a meek and lowly
desire to escape from public notice.
Hewlett is one of the curbstone orators
who have been making days hideous for
merchants along the busy thoroughfare.
and the business men will rejoice that the
nuisance will be suppressed.

bushels of winter apples for the New York
market. and the biggest portion of this
amount will come from jackson county.
The Jackson county product, as far as he
was able to determine, was fully the equal
of the Ozark apples which are favordte
