Clipping wings.

Many hesitate to clip the wing on
account of an almost certain disfigure-
ment that is likelyto be the result. ii
care is taken in cutting, the wings can
be clipped in such a manner that the
mutilated feathers cannot be- detected
unless the fowl is caught.
The task Is by no means difficult;
any one can do il by using little care.
If the operator is right-handed per-
son, take the fowl in the left hand and
hold close to the body partly by the
hand and forearm. Spread out the left
wing with the thumb and iorefinger OF
the arm that is holding the fowl. With
the right hand take sharp pair Of
shears and cut the flight feathers, or
the ones On the outer side; cut until
you come 10 the natural division be-
tween the flight feathers and the see
ondaries. The section that should be
cut Is technically known as the "pri-
maries. II the primaries are cut as
close to the flesh as possible and the
operator is careful not to cut over too
far and get into the seeondaries. the
effect will not be noticed when the
fowl is in its natural position. Ex-
eept III extreme eases this will prove
Just as effective in restraining high
flyers as though the wing had been
practically cut entirely away. When
this is not sufficient, which is seldom
the case, more clipping will be neces-
sarY.

Building Up-Grade sheen.

The most striking feature in the
sheep exhibit at the Wisconsin State
fair last month was the exhibit made
by the university experiment station Of
its flock of grade animals. Eight wears
ago the university purchased number
OF ordinary American Merino ewes.
buying from stock offered for sale in
open market and paving about 81. so
per head. These sheep were crossed
with pure bred Shropshire ram, and
building up from that foundation, using
pure bred rams all the time, the station
now has collection of grade sheep
that for practical purposes are declared
better for ordinary farmers than pure
bred. Prof. Shaw of the university OF
Minnesota, who judged the sheep. i'm
speaking OF the experiment and dis
cussing the flock exhibited, declared
that 1t was not only an interesting ex-
pertinent but one OF the most usefu
ever undertaken by any experiment
station.
The sheep shown were the best grade
sheep he had ever seen, and it was a
remarkable showing of the speedy man
ner in which farmers can bring about
substantial and profitable betterment
OF their fiocks. In fitting this flock for
exhibition Prof. Henry said they had
been fed rape for six weeks and that
Wisconsin farmers raising sheep or pigs
should grow rape. In this flock were
wethers weighing $40 pounds at one
year, lib pounds at five months, and a
pen averaging 107 pounds at five
months.

Fix up the feed racks in good shape
for use.
Do not expect stock to thrive on
but one kind OF grain.
Wait until the ground freezes hard
before applying the mulch to newly-set
trees and small fruits.
Cows that are expected to give a pro-
fitable flow of milk during the winter
must be well fed and comfortably shell
tered.
Do not sell off the fruits and vegetables
too close. Be sure to store away a
sufficient supply for your own use.
While it is often an advantage to feed
the stock in the fields while the wealth
er will admit, they should all be shelf
cred when it is cold and stormy.
Before stock are turned into the
stalk fields be sure that they have all
OF the water they want. Then do not
allow them to stay in too long at first.
Much damage is often done to land
at this time by allowing stock to tramp
over it when it is wet and soft. The
Safer plan is to keep them out unless
the soil is firm.
A fairly good growth of grass in the
meadows and pastures at this time
will act as mulch to protect the
roots during the winter and lessen ma
terially the injury from thawing and
freezing.
To considerable extent it will be
found best to feed the fodder and feed
that is stacked out Of doors, saving
that which is stored under shelter for
feeding later, when the stock must be
more closely confined.
BY having a feed mill on the farm
and grinding the grains not only is
better opportunity affored of supplying
a good variety and OF making up a
complete ration, but the food is pre-
pared in form that makes it easier
and secures better di-
gestion and assimilation.

Arthur Spiess has returned from
Dawson, where he went as manager of
Pat Galyin's cattle expedition, which
drove a thousand head Of beef in over
the Dalton trail. They were driven
leisurely, with the result that the eat
tie fattened during the trip. Only six
died before reaching Fort Selkirk,
where the herd was slaughtered and
thence RATED to Dawson. Four butcher
shops were opened there, beef selling
at 1925 per pound retail and 55 cents
wholesale, netting a fortune for Calvin
and Spiess.
Henry Blackwood OF Oregon drove in
265 cattle over the Dalton trail and
also made good stake. He SAYS that
the net profits on the first fifteen
butchered and retailed amounted to
$4,000.
Word comes that George Galsford OF
Dawson lost several hundred hogs

was taking down the Yukon. They

The Unappreciatea Hen.

There are many reasons why the
hen, and not the eagle should be the
national bird.
Among them is the growing discon-
tent orr best citizens feel for the eagle,
which bird has never given thorough
satisfaction because of its low down
nature. The eagle il a cowardly crea-
tnre and never makes war except upon
weaker things. 1t never earned an
honest dollar in its life, and its daily
food Is stolen from some poor bird too
small and too weak to defend itself and
its property. Moreover, the eagle
swoops down upon children, lambs and
other INNOCENT things and bears it to
It's home among the mountain crags.
This alone is sufficient to Gust it
from the position Of heing the bird Of
America and prevent its picture from
continuing on our dollar.

Ends Relations with Italy.

Washington On inquiry at the
Columbian Legation with reference to
the suspension of relations between
Colombia and Italy, the Charge
d Affaires saidi 1T is true that the
Colombian Government has passed a
decree suspending relations with Italy.
This act is the result OF popular indig-
nation at the hostile measures adopted
last summer by the Italian Govern
ment with its fleet in Colombian waters
on the pretext of some failure on the
part OF Colombia in fulfilling the award
of President Cleveland in the Cerruti
case. A weak country has to YIELD
under such circumstances, but it is
never compelled to run the risk of an
other experience OF the same kind, and
it is at liberty to, suspend relations
with the Italian Government as pro-
test before the world against what has
already happened and as preparation
for the future. =
