Elmira S. Hull has commenced an
action for divorce from E. w. Hull,
alleging that the marriage took place
at Henrietta. Texas, on December TO-
1891. and THAI almost from the day of
the marriage the defendant has treat
cruelty.
Eight different dates are mentioned
between December 81, 1895, and June
Is Of the present year on which it is
alleged the defendant i'll treated plain
tiff by calling her vile names, striking
and beating her, twisting her arm and
wrist threatening to smash her head
with a chair, driving her out of the
house with a hatcdlet, threatening to
kill her and other such pleasantries.
On December 81, 1895. it is alleged he
put out the fire and took away the
bed clothing so that plaintiff suffered
severely with cold, causing her to faint
and become very i'll. On various occa-
siouls when she was sick he refused to
provide her with medicine and proper
care, and did everything imaginable to
annoy and distress her, and it is also
alleged he utterly failed and refused to
provide for the plaintiff anything but
the barest necessities in the way of
food and gave her no seasonable cloth
ing or comforts although he was am
ply able to do SO, as he earned good
wages as a paper hanger.
Plaintiff further alleges that at the
time of the marriage she was the own
er of a large amount of household fur
niture, most Of which has been sold,
and that defendant will, unless re-
strained, sell what little remains. and
appropriate the money to his own use
Mrs. Hull prays for a decree of di-
vorce, that she be restored to her mai
den name of E1mdra S. Weston; that
she be granted temporary and perna-
nent alimony. and that the defendant
be restrained from disposing Of their
household goods.

I have no means OF knowing whether
the platform that will be adopted viii
declare absolutely for the gold stand

SHEEP STILL PRoFIrABLE.

"Sheep don't pay" / quote this cur
rent expression for the fun of refuting
it, and to tell how owners of sheep
can make them pay If they do not now.
1t is not right to say that any branch
of farming don't pay" when one has
failed in it because of slipshod meth
DDS. Before one can pronounce a just
judgment he must have conducted the
business on common-sense principles.
l make the broad assertion that no one
knows a flockmaster who has not made
money all the time and does not now
make money by sheep husbandry, If he
has judgment, and exercises it, unless
he loses by some unusual accident. To
be sure. there IS not so much to be
made in sheep as few years ago, nor
is there in other branches. All seem
to be depressed about alike A poul-
try-writer said recently. and truly, IF
hens do not lay properly it is their
keepers fault" and / say if a man
does not make money at keeping sheep
it is his own fault, and he should be
ashamed to tell of it. If any reader
does not make money with his sheep.
I will tell him how he scan do It,
Thousands of RESPONSIBLE farmers in
the south want to take sheep to double
in four years; that is, lend them one
hundred now and in four years they
will repay with Two hundred. What
branch of farming gives greater re-
turns? A million or more sheep could
be let on these terms today, or any
time during several years to came.
Sheep have been going from Ohio to
West Virginia on these terms 'Sheep
don't pay" eh?-Dr. Galen Wilson in

SIGNS OFF swARMING.

In answer to the question How do
swarm the editor Of the Stockman
says: You can't tell. At least there
is no rule by which you can always
be sure about it. There are some
things, however, which it may be USE
full for you to know. You need not
look for swarms until the bees get to
gathering honey lively. There may be
an occasional case in which a very
strong colony may swarm during fruit
bloom, but they rarely do. The bulk
of the swarming in the north takes
place during what is called the white
money harvest, that is while clover
and linden are in bloom. That means
beginning somewhere in June and end
ing in July Sometimes swarming is
all over by the 4th Of July. and some
times not till a month later. Rarely
what are called buckwheat swarms
may occur later still.
Some count on hanging OUT as
sign of swarming. A great mass of
bees covers all the front of the hive,
and they appear to be doing nothing
but just waiting to swarm. Maybe
that is what they are doing, and maybe
not. Sometimes they cluster in that
way on the outside of the hive for
no other reason than that it is more
comfortable there than in the warm,
crowded hive.
If the bees of other hives are doing
nothing then there is no use paying
any attention to their hanging out, for
colony is not likely to swarm when
there is no honey to be gathered in the
field. But if during very busy time
a. colony all at once seems to stop
work and hang out while other colonies
keep right at work, then it may mean
something, but often a colony will
swarm without single bee ever hang
PRESERVING THE SOIL MOISTURE.
An enterprising and thoughtful Ne
braska farmer has learned how to con-
serve soil moisture in that dry coun-
try. In breaking land he has five or
six plows following one behind an
other, thus turning a six foot strip
| every round, and disk harrow and
sib-surface packer follows at once, pull
verifying the land and packing it firm,
so that the driving winds can only
touch the top of it. Where plowed
| land is allowed to lie rough for sew
eral days before narrowing, it loses
moisture very rapidly. Mr. Campbell
also noticed that an experiment sta
ton ascertained that in blooming and
caring time a stalk of corn evapor-
ates two to three pounds of water
daily, or 100 tons a week from an acre
planted 3x4 feet, four stalks to the
hill. Hence, he concluded that a field
with one stalk to the hill might make
good ears where three or four to the
hill might not make any. Mr.. Camp
bell makes good corn when his neigh
bors fail.
