stock Notes.

One man says that goats need about
the same care as sheep, and will live
much longer and, he might have ad-
ded, Jump a good deal higher.
Exporting live cattle to England
from the Argentine Republic and from
Australia has proved Improbable. The
voyage is too long, and the trip across
the torrid zone too severe
A cheap temporary sun-break in the
pastures will afford the stock a great
deal of comfort, and will be money In
the pocket Of the stock owner, for the
stock will thrive better than If uncom-
Portable.
Wool will keep in the best condition
when stored in a somewhat damp
place says American Sheep Breeder.
The best place is a dry sub-cellar half
above the ground, and that may be
well aired. When too dry, wool Is
harsh to the feel, and brittle, and loses
its natural s%oftntess and curl.
Sheep, says a writer, are subject to
internal parasites much more than
formerly, and fiocks are often deci.
mated by them. Salt, sulphur and
spirits Of turpentine are the best rem
edy. T.. administer ii, take salt, four
parts: sulphur. n part; ~turpentine,
enough to slightly moisten; mix them
and place In the trough when the AMI
mails are hungry for salt.

nu,,on Production Increasing

Although it is generally conceded
that the total supply of sheep In the
country is much smaller than it was a
few years ago, on account of the heavy
marketing during the past three years,
81 will be noticed that the receipts so
far this year have been unusually
heavy. One reason for this is the
change in the price Of wool, which has
caused a much larger percentage Oh
Sheep to come to market for mutton
nos Formerly thousands were
raised for the wool alone, but now
flock masters are paying more atten-
tion 10 the mutton side OF the question
and for a few years it has hardly been
nrofitable from both sources OF reve-
nue. While there are less sheep now
than three years ago, the number IS
still comparatively large, and the gen.
oral belief among sheep men is that
the industry is gradually en- the IN
crease. More farmers are giving at
tention TO the sheep, and h a means
nm increased number for the marker,
and after all, this is what counts. NO
matter how many there are In the
United States, it is the nuinber slaugn

Remedy for Rlont.

As a remedy for bloat caused 10y
alfalla, clover, etc, Director Deyol of
Arizona considers puncturing the
paunch from the center of the hollow
in front of the haunch-bone. the surest
remedy. Prof. Gulley says a wet
blanket on the cows back is the best
remedy for bloat. A successful stock
man says bloat can be cured by pull
ing the animals tongue out as far as
possible. or by placing a stick as large
as Il wrist .cross-wise in the mouth,
or by making it stand fifteen to thirty
minutes with front feet up hill or on
n box. considerably higher than the
hind feet. Prevent bloat by giving

on green clover, turn them on clover
but a few minutes at a time till used
TO it, and eve turn them on clover
when dew or rain is on it.

mate the number of acres required for
their support from the time pigs are
farrowed till ready for market, at
about ten months old. Before farrow-
ing each sow should have a good, com
Portable place for bed and a lot of
about one-eighth of an acre. Here she
should remain with her young till they
are about three weeks old, or strong
enough to follow her about. Then she
should be allowed the run of a good
grass lot in the daytime. For early
grazing a patch of rye of abou five
acres will be very good, and will give
the early pigs something green before
pasture affords grass. From the rye
patch they should go on to a good pas
ture of blue grass and clover, say OF
about ten acres, making fifteen acres
of pasture. While this amount of pas
ture will support the sow in litter
would much prefer to give them larger
range. as the pigs could get more eX-
ercise. and naturally build up better
bone and constitution. Grass will be
fresher and sweeter, and droppings not
so thickly scattered. Allowing that
fifteen acres is sufficient pasture, then
we want about the same number OF
acres for corn small grain and roots,

Some Notes on Feeding

Keep only as much stock as you are
sure You can feed well. He who over
stocks his pasture damages his land,
II IS at the mercy of the weather,
for every drouth brings his cattle to a
starvation diet and makes them
hreechy; and he who has more stock
than food in winter finds stock grow.
ing Improbable.
With high feed and low stock LET us
hope that the country will get rid or
its scrubs ana that with the reaction
we will adopt the improved breeds for
profitable stock growing in the future.
Fortunately the market discriminates
against poor stock ana will pay fair
prices for high grades and pure breeds
only.
The older an animal gets the more it
costs To put on flesh. and if, as is the
case with hogs. beef cattle can be put
into shape earlier. so as TO command
the highest market price a pound. cat
tie men viii readily adopt the policy
of feeding off earlier. There is often
more net profit in 1000 pounds than in
1.J0G.
Animals will get along with little or
no salt other than that found in or.
binary food, but experiment has shown
that if a small quantity is added daily
they will appear brighter. their coats
viii be sleeker. and they will have
more life. In other words. the secre.
tion will be, better and the animals
will be in better health.
If you are feeding any stock with the
idea of making a profitable flesh, see
to it that they are well protected from
storms and cold in the approaching
months OF winter. You cannot feed
them profitably otherwise. Nothing in
the whole system of stock management
has been more thoroughly proved than
this.
Feed for early maturity. One farmer
will bring his spring pigs up to the 200
pound notch at six or seven months,
and get the top price for them; and he
has done it cheaply, for there has been
no check in their growth from birth
and no winter feeding. Another will
sell at midwinter, with pigs 80 pounds
lighter, because neglected.
Animals get into the kabit of eating
so rapidly that half the grains enter
the stomach whole, and the outer
touch coating of oats, barle- and corn
cannot be destroyed even by the strong
acids of the stomach. Not only is the
grain wasted, bat the stomach is in
iured and indigestion and fiatulency
follow. For young or old the grain
should be ground.
The next thing to plenty Of grass for
sheep is that they should have free ac-
can get at it all the time, it should be
given them regularly every day. They
are inveterate lickers of salt, and Ii
is conducive to their general health. 1t
is the best of remedies for scours and
other sheep diseases. Do not stint
them while it is so plentiful and cheap.

THE woMAN's TONGUE,
Kept On wagging After Being
Fined For SANDER.

RALEIGH, N. g., Jan. ia re-
markable case has been decided in
the Superior court here. Mrs. Pat
tie d. C. Arlington last year for
some weeks published a weekly
paper called "The Criminal Dock
ct" in which che attacked lawyers
and judges, claiming that she had
been cheated out OF thousands OF
dollars worth of property. She
particularly attacked eX-Judge
Spier Whitaker, leading lawyer
and a prominent citizen, saying
"You robbed yes, you stole, thir-
teen hundred dollars" The grand
jury at the last term OF court re-
turned a true bill for libel against
her, and also against Barnes Bros,
who published her paper. Mrs.
Arlington managed her own case
yesterday. 1t was the first time
woman was ever known to do this
in North Carolina. She was on the
witness stand, and so was Whatta-
ker, aud her cross-exsmination
was very warm. She spoke half
an hour. The evidence was that
Whitaker had paid out money
upon a regular decree Of court, aud
that she had signed the papers and
the judge so stated. The solicitor
said that Whitaker had been vim
dictated, and that the publication
was a foul Islander. Mrs. AIRING
ton attacked the lawyers and So
licitor, and renewed all her state
ments about Whitaker. The
courtroom was packed. The jury
was out only fifteen minutes and
returned verdict Of guilty. What
taker and the solicitor asked that
Judgment be suspended, but Mrs.
Arlington became wild with anger
and declared she would again pub.
lish her paper and renew the
charges. Solicitor Thompson's re-
quest for suspension Of judgment
was withdrawn and she will be
sentenced, unless she apologies.
There is another true bill against
her for libelling the memory OF the
late Chief Justice Smith.

Disgraced the Church.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Jan. H.
The church people are looking
forward with interest to the trial
Of Rev. julius Flecke, Of the Re-
formed Church, which has been set
to come up before the Chassis on
Monday. Mr.. Fiecke gave up his
church In Hoboken last fall be-
cause he couldn't support his fam
lily on the salary, and opened a
beer saloon. His brother clergy
men raised a great hubbub. They
said he had disgraced the cloth,
etc. Pastor Feicke retorted that
he didn't care, and asked to resign,
but the Chassis won't permit him
to. 1t is not likely Mr.. Feicke will
answer the summons to appear be-
fore the church court. Then he
may be expelled.
