Advantages of one breed.

If one mas a large number of fowls, all
of one breed there is a saving of fences
and space as there will be no danger of
contamination should they be turned out
together in the orchard or allowed to run
at large. The uniformity of the flock in
color size and general characteristics les
sens the labor required. as one can more
easily understand how to manage, for
breeds differ, and the best mode for one
may not be suitable for another. Better
prices can be secured when a coop of
chickens is sent to market containing a
uniform lot, and the eggs from hens of
one breed will be more uniform, also.
When two breeds are kept. they will soon
become mixed and crossbred, as IL is al
most impossible to keep them separated,
the result being that the breeds viii de-
generate into scrubs. As we have before
stated. just as soon as the farmer or
poultryman begins to cross pure breeds
his flock becomes destroyed. There Is no
necessity for crossing or for keeping two
breeds. A single breed, kept up in vigor
by careful selection, will remain pure and
uncontaminated, and will not only give
more satisfactory results, but also more
pleasure 10 the poutryman.-Ex.

A Late Fodder CroD.

G. p. L. asks if it is too late now to SOW
cat tail. or Pearl millet, for fodder. If
so, what crop could be yet planted for
the purpose?
Yes, it is too late to SOW Pearl millet
with anything like a fair promise of
success
At any season we regard it as a poor
plant for the purpose. For a quick crop
of forage at this season you had better
select fodder corn" two or two and one
half bushels per acre., or If you prefer.
you can SOW peas-"Conch" or Wonder
fur in alternate rows. We would advise
you to SOW a little later lin September
or October) a few acres in crimson clover.
but sow il on good land, land that you
know is rich enough to make a valuable
crop. Bur clover is also excellent.

whole coil except the extreme tip. Press
the earth tightly 10 IL. and II the soil
Is moist, the cuttings will grow right along
and viii make a mass OF little potatoes
that are far better for bedding than the
small ones from the general crop. In
one Of the recent bulletins from the Texas
station, an illustration is given showing
a method OF planting sweet potato cut
tings. A furrow is run out. and the cut
ungs are lad along the furrow slice butts
in the furrOw. and another furrOw is then
thrown over them and tramped tight. We
have Got the bulletin at hand, but this
IS about the substance of it,
Another way is 10 make up beds as
usual. and let a drOpper place the cut
tings along Crosswise the ridge. Another
man comes along with a forked stick, and
pushes the base OF the cuttings into the
soil Whatever method is used only the
tip OF the cutting should be exposed, and
the soil must be pressed closely to the
base Of the cuttings. There is little trou-
bic about their growing if the ground is
moist. If dry, they should have water
poured'into holes and the cutting inserted
and covered at once.

Peach Leaves for Hog Cholera.

Says an exchange: During an expert
ence of twenty years have
no recollection of ever see
ing hogs die of cholera when they
had access TO a peach orchard. They will
eat every leaf that they can get, and
large hogs will break down and ruin
small peach trees to get the leaves and
young twigs. They will also crack and
eat the kernels of all the peach seed they
can get, and such are always healthy.
believe that If the farmers of the south
will plant large peach orchards and en-
close them so that they can pasture them
with their hogs, they viii have no sick
hogs; and when they can't pasture their
orchards, make peach leaf tea and make
a mash about once a week with the tea
and corn meal or chops and wheat bran,
and feed so that all their hogs will get
a good feed of this. that when they will
ind their hogs looking well and in good
health. This treatment will keep hogs
clear of worms of all kinds, and when
this is the case hogs are healthy. Try
this, brother farmers, and watch the re-
sillt

Sranti Matters.

MANTI, Feb. Gave are having
beautiful weather, but the farmers are
not suited because there is but little
snow in the mountains. and the ground
is dry enough to admit Of sowing. but
the frost is not out.
The saloon men, after running a
month without license, concluded to
renew the license at $500 a quarter
without the promise of a rebate of $50,
the amount they said they must have
or they could not make ends meet.
They also dated the licenses back to
the time the old ones expired.
The Sentinel is thing of the past,
unless a new printing outfit is secured,
because Mrs. Jakeman came down the
other day and boxed the old one,
which she claimed was hers.
The Sanpete teachers will hold their
next institute at Manti on Saturday,
February 90, when good time will
surely be had
Eggs are cents per dozen, price
never before known in Manti at this
time Of the year, and the farmers have
concluded to eat them instead of sell
ing.
Though the weather is fine, Manti
has had much sickness and double the
average amount of deaths since Jan
uary l. 1895. The average for the last
ten years is ten a quarter. and we
have nearly twice that number now,
and but little more than half of the
quarter is gone.

way from his home to his shop on the
morning of the 22nd, was taken with a
paralytic stroke. He has been uncon-

is in a very bad state. 1t is feared he
will never recover. DIR. Lawrence
says it is only a matter of a very few

has had in the last four or five years.
The first time he lost his speech for
period of eight to ten weeks. His
speech is gone now.
