french breeds in America when they

care for them. This was observed at
the Iar1s exposition where the best
sheep were French Merinos. Other
breeds were there bat it did not seem
that they had the care and attention
that an English shepherd would have
gwen them. They were evidently
pining for the companionship of the
English shepherd and a feed of tur-
nips, n 1t was manifest that the
Frenchman was anything bat a care
full breeder.
English breeds, given the same care
ana feeding in America that they re-
ceive in their native country, will do a
great deal to wipe out the
idea that there is no place like England
for sheep. 1t is a good country for
sheep and the methods employed in
Sleep h~uSbandry there have been in
vogue for many years. and the bust
ness OF the shepherd has become a vo-
cation which must be learned in all it's
details. The large sheep must have
plenty of feed with just enough change
10 maintain health, and when kept in
health, with plenty to eat, will have Il

has been reared rather than upon
where it has been reared. If you have
French sheep give them French care.
English sheep require the same care in
America that they require in England
and they should get in America the
best Of care and feed.

Hogs for Farmers.

The various articles that have ap-
peared in the Stockman and Farmer
from time TO time in regard to the
proper breed of hogs for farmers to
raise have probably been read with in
tcreSt by n considerable number of its
readers. While ! am a strong believer
in breed, ! think equal attention
should be given to feed. In selecting
the breed one should select the kind
that suits his fancy. There are very
few farmers who haven't a preference
for some special breed, and any Of the
improved breeds, if properly handled,
will give good results. Personally, l
prefer Chester Whites. Whatever breed
is selected, one should use nothing but
a pure bred boar. Under no circum-
stances should any n be induced TO
use a grade. Use grade sOws if you
must, the higher the grade the better.
And. if possible, get them of the same
breed. BY thus breeding your pigs
will be uniform in colOr-a very desira-
bic quality to have in a herd. But II
the blood alone is expected to make
hog raising profitable, the farmer is
doomed TO disappointment. 1t is only
by intelligent feeding that he can hope
for success. Any man who attempetS
TO raise hogs IN an exclusive corn diet
is pretty sure TO fail as a hog grower.
Young hogs and the breeding stock
should be fed literally with muscle
forming food, such as oats, bran, mid
dlingS and some corn. And when pos
sible they should have h run of n
clover field. When that fails sow rye
as a substitute. A hog must have some
Succulent food to do its best. If given
pasture and fed juGiciously, any farm
er can make a well bred pig weigh a
pound "a day from six to ten months OF
age. Better weights can be obtained
by special care. But If the average
farmer gets these weights he is doing
reasonably well and will get "A profit

Good and Superior Cattle.

Good steers at two years past should
weigh 800 to 1000 pounds. If properly
fed and if they nave been given a fair
chance, they would command at home
81 cents per pound live weight. Take
the lighter weight, namely, 900 pounds,
and the steer would bring the owner
$3.50. Such a sum is not to be de-
spised by any one during these days
of low prices for grain. Bit take the
inferior ill-fed scrub steer. He will
not weigh more that $50 pounds at the
same age, and he would bring but pa
cents much less readily than the other
steer would bring 3l5 cents per pound.
His value on the above basis would be
$1G2J. He would bring to the man
who raised him S15.2J less than the
other steer. In other words. he would
not bring much more than half the
price paid for the properly reared ami
NAL. 1t is apparent therefore, whether
we gain money or lose it, depends very
largely on the way in which the work
is done. What a fine thing il would be
for the country if at the present time
there were good store animals in it to
consume the surplus food.

in movable pens on the pasture, the
pens being frequently moved, grew
more slowly and required 20 per cent
more grain to make n pound Of gain.
Pigs at pasture. fed under a variety
Of conditions, gained 9212 per cent more
While eating but , per cen than those
getting grass and similarly fed, but
confined in pens. With the latter the
gain required to produce a pound of
gain increased 40 per cent as COM
pared with pigs on pasture. A part
grain ration on pasture made salts
factory gains and a threc-fourths IA
ton made better gains than full grain
rations with grass fed to pigs either in
yards or pens. Pigs pastured without
grain averaged 30 pounds per day.
Much of the advantage of pasture is

gain being estimated as due 10 this
ause alone, and grass cut and fed in
pens proved of little value. Pigs CON
fined in pens and fed grass only, most
ly alfalfa, for ninety-two days lost
over a quarter of a pound per day, but
pasturing with either full or part grain
ration proved to be by far the cheapest
and best way of making pork. Great

Hen RCGsts.

Seeing n farmer near me building a

other on an angle Of abou 40 degrees.
In this way the fowls are led to at
tempt to get upon the highest roofs,
and as it gets full the weak ones are
crowded off and fall 10 the ground;
they begin again TO climb up only to
repeat again the same performance,
until it gets so dark that they stop
climbing, resting content upon the
lower roOst, or ven upon the round
under the rooSts. In the morning the
fowls will not go down as they went
up, from n roOst TO another, but NY
from the roost to the ground. In TINS

the ground at night, heavy Owls es-

lam A. Newell, a physician living in

didate for the Populist nomination for

a member of Congress from New Jersey
for two terms. from 1917 to 1851. and was
Governor of that State from 1851 to 1880
He Was appointed Governor of Washing
ion Territory by President Arthur
through the influence of Secretary of
state F'relfng ghuysen. MIR. Newell was born
in Franklin, Ohio, in September, 1917 but
his parents were both of New Jersey fam
lies, and when he was three years old
they took him back TO that State. He
graduated from Rutgers in 1880, and took
the degree in medicine al the University
of Pennsylvania in 1871, and began prae-
tlce IN Monmouth Count N. j.
In 1916 the Wings elected him to Con-
gfess. He was Fremont Republican in
1856. and was so identified with New Jer-
sey then that ne was elected Governor
that year by the Republican and Amerf-
can parties over Alexander, Democrat, by
2,657 majority.
Dr.. Newell was an intimate friend of
Abraham Lincoln, whom he first knew
when they were in Congress together.
Lincoln gave him a commission in the
New Jersey Coast Guard in '61 and he
was in Washington throughout the war
He ran for Governor of New Jersey

one OF the most important points made
by Mr.. Edwards in his address was the
showing that sff1ce 1884 the income Of
the State and its expenditures had up to
1885 jumped to almost double the sum.
There is only 0ne explanation for this
state of affairs explains Mr.. Edwards.
The State hasn't measured its tax by its
necessities, but measured its expense by
its wealth. Money wss flowing in. Poor
Jersey City was contributing 60 per cent
