"A man by the name Of Crimes was

his love and protection. He was caught
under our law in bringing his second
wife into the state and pursued from the
far west by his first wife. The first wi &C.

bitterly. She was middle-aged woman
and he had had two or three children
by her.

him and already was the mother of one
child. She appeared with him in court
and attracted considerable sympathy IN
his behalf, Notwithstanding his incon-

PlePEN POINTERS.

When a sow proves valuable as a
breeder do not part with her as long rs
she remains useful.
The Wisconsin STATEN finds 100
pounds of whey produces as much pork
as 10 cents worth of corn.
By keeping the pig pen literally sup
piled with dry earth, bad odors will be
prevented and the value of the manure
increased.
The quickest way to fatten a pig is
the surest way to make profit on it, and
the profit can in general way be said
to depend upon the length of time be-
tween narrowing and market.
While the brood sow and fattening
pigs are all fed together, with the aim
of giving them all that they will eat up
clean, the sows will usually get fatter
than is really necessary or best.
When the pigs get to eating regularly,
care should be taken not to feed more
than they will eat up clean, unless the
pens can be arranged SO that the sows
can be let in to eat up the leavings.
In selecting breeding SOW or boar,
always choose one with long body,
wide back, and whose back and belly
or upper and under lines are straight
and parallel. Such are much more apt
TO prove desirable than chunky one,
however smooth. - Colman's Rural

BETTER SHEEP OUTLOOK.
We Have Now More Vigorous Stock Than
We Ever Had Before.

We Have Now More Vigorous Stock Than
We Ever Had Before.
The low prices of wool and the use
of snoddy, with the introduction of
large quantities of inferior wool from
Argentine and the British provinces,
have led the few sheep masters we have
left to turn their attention more to NUT
ton sheep than to those producing the
highest grades of wool. This tendency
to produce good mutton has led to the
selection of the best breeds for this
purpose, and to the more careful prep
aration of lambs and mutton sheep for
the market.
The care of the flock and the kind
of feed used have undergone a great
improvement, and the result is that,
whilst wool growing has been unproft-
able, we have a greatly improved class
of shepherds; and fine fed lambs and
mutton have never had such sale in all
the markets throughout the country, as
at the present time.
Besides, floclls have been culled, and
only the best of each kind have been
retained.
In this regeneration OF the nerds we
have to-day more vigorous and healthy
stock of sheep in all the sheep raising
regions than ever before.
This will be great gain in the coming
reinstatement of the sheep and his wool
to their proper place among the home
products.
Nothing is all evil; in this case we
have derived benefits from our misfor-
tune. We will have better and health
Ter flocks, better mutton, and more
mutton eaters in the future than ever
before.
The wise farmer will try to prepare
for what must soon come. Select the
best breeds, prepare the best feed, and
be ready to take the best possible care
of your floclls, and your increase will
soon bring you your reward.-Farm

suNFLowER CULTURE.
1t Is Being Strongly Advocated as n
Agricultural Industry.

IL Is Being Strongly Advocated as AN
Agricultural Industry.
The cultivation of suuhowers is be-
ing advocated as an agricultural in
dustry. In support of this departure
in western farm crop enterprises it is
asserted that the better varieties of
sunflowers yield gallon of oil to the
bushel of seed, and that an average
crop will produce from 40 TO so bushels
of seed per acre. The oil is high-priced,
and sells on an equality with the oil of
olives.
The wholesale price OF olive oil is
about one dollar per gallon, thus indi-
eating a profit in the sunflower crop
which would at once admit it into the
list of profitable crops for diversified
farm industry.
The Russian sunflower is one of the
largest in stalk and seed head, and has
been recognized as a great producer of
seed with excellent oil properties. A
new variety, entirely white, is now a
rival of the Russian, and Is said to
produce a much milder and better
favored oil, owing to its deficiency in
coloring matter in the outer covering
of the seeds.
The sunfiower seed Is recognized
valuable food for stock and poultry,
and when properly understood will be
in more common use on the farm for
this purpose. The wild sunfiower of
the western prairie country has ere
ated a prejudice against the name sun
flower" but Notwithstanding it's per-
sistency in maintaining its place as n
weed on the cultivated farms, il is by
no means an Objectionable Indication

Three Types OF AKrlculturtsts Found In
the weatern States.
Farmers are divided into three
classes; First, those who take up with
everything new in grains, vegetables
fruits and machinery without stopping
to think or studying the deriands OF
their market, the possibilities of their
soil and peculiariilcs OF the climate.
Invariably they make failures The sec

ened to cows tail, inasmueh as they
are always behind.
The third class are those who think.
study their market and soil, begin on
small scale and experiment until the
problem is solved. If new fruit is
being advertised and trees sold at enor
nous prices they buy but one and sec
If it suits their soil and climate. They
will not set out a peach orchard in
swamp or a cherry orchard on an al
luvial soil underlaid with gravel This
class is the one that is making money
at farming-the other two are in the
background. One and two are both
bound for the same place, but seemingly
travelling in opposite directions.
One acts without thinking; the other
thinks without acting. One is extrava
giant in buying unnecessary things; the
other extravagant in not buying neees-
cary articles. One has no fixed method
of labor; the others method of labor
fixes him. These two classes are an
anomaly, and, as Lamartine said to
Robespierre, are ''shadowy, underlined
mixed" Not SO with those desig
mated as the third class. They have al
aim in farming, and as a result have
well defined plan and combine braiu
and muscle-theory and practice, know
the old way, but adopt the new
and are success. In the new agricul-
ture of the far west these farmers are
legion and are rapidly coming TO the
front. They believe in the modern
theory of advancement as applied to ag-
riculture and are lettering their condi-
ton by working along these lines. The
methods of the past generations will
not do for them and they are reaching
out for the improved order of things
that mark the pathway of other men
who are a great success in this world

Flshe. Eating All His Meadow Grass.

OLDEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
Interesting Facts and Figures About the
Centenarians OF Europe.

Interesting Facts and Figures About the
Centenarians of Europe.
A German statistician has studied
the census returns of Europe to learn
few things about the centenarians of
the old world. He has found, for in
stance, that high civilization does not
favor the greatest length of life. The
German empire, with 55,00O,0OO popula.
ton, has but rs subjects who are more
than 100 years old. France, with fewer
than 40,0OO,OO0. has 213 persons who
have passed their Tooth birthdays. Eng
land has ZIG; Ireland. SIS; Scotland, 40;
Denmark, 2; Belgium. 5; Sweden, 10,
and Norway, with 100000 inhabitants,
%. Switzerland does not boast a single
centenarian, but Spain, with but 49,
10000 population, has 401.
The most amazing figures found by
the German statistician came from that
troublesome and turbulent region
known as the Balkan peninsula. Servia
has SIS persons who are more than 100
years old; Roumania, 1854, and Bull
garia, 1883. In other words. Bulgaria
has centenarian for every 1000 inhab-
itants, and thus holds the international
record for old inhabitants. In 1892
alone there died in Bulgaria $50 persons
of more than 100 years. In the Balkan
peninsula, moreover, a person is not re-
garded as on the verge of the grave
the moment he becomes centenarian.
For instance, in Servia there were in
1890 some 200 persons between LOG and
115 years, 1913 between lis and 1875, and
is between 1876 and 1876. Three were be-
tween 1876 and 40.
Who is the oldest person in the world?
The German statistician does not credit
the recent story about a Russian 100
wears old Russia has no census, he says,
and except in cases of special official in
vestigation the figures of ages in Russia
must be mistrusted. The oldest man in
the world is then, in his opinion, Bruno
Cotrim. q negro born inAfrica. and now
resident in Rio Janeiro. Cotrim is $50
years old. Next 20 him comes probably
q retired Moscow cabman, named Kus-
trim, who is Ia his l40th year. The sta
tistician saws the oldest woman in the
world is 1870 years old, but neglects to
give her name or address, possibly out
of courtesy, or perhaps in view of the
extraordinary figures which came to
his hands from the Balkans he thought
a subject only 1870 years old was hardly
worthy of particulars Com
