OUR FARMERS.
FARM NOTES.

It is claimed that as the wet places
are usually the richest ones on the
farm they will pay the cost of drain
age in two Or three seasons. Wheth-
er this is true or not wet places should
never be allowed to exist on any farm.
Precise experiments have shown
that it is very nearly impossible to
feed in such manner that a pound
of pork can be produced with profit
from any animal over year old. To
keep the hogs through two winters is
an Anticipated method.
A mixed ration enables the farmer
to work off many kinds of food that
may not be Of value when fed alone,
and all classes of stock will prefer
mixed ration to receiving one or two
kinds exclusively. Even straw will
be eaten and relished at times when
the cattle have been deprived Of it
for a while.
The real good mixer is made the
first year. By this is not meant that
breeding is a matter of no Importance,
but she must be made to do good SER
ice the first season if she is to keep it
up. Letting the calf suck the first
season or permitting it to run with
the dam is very bad way to make a
good mixer.
Tt is useless to attempt to force any
kind of food on an animal. A COW
may be compelled to eat something
that she does not desire, but she will
fall off in her milk. 1t is necessary
therefore to observe their Individual
peculiarities and supply them with
whatever they prefer. What may be
a delicacy to one may be repugnant
to another.

SHEEP ON THE FARM.

The keeping of a few sheep is a
source of much profit to every farmer.
It may not be practicable to keep
them in large numbers, as the land
may not be suitable, and the owner
may not choose to invest too largely
in one item of husbandry.
But the ordinary farmer who has
some rough pasture land, can with a
very slight outlay, keep flock of
from twenty to fifty, and realize a
handsome profit upon the amount in
vested.
There are several advantages IN the
keeping Of sheep which make them
especially desirable.
They can be turned into money
readily at almost any timeSof the year.
If man has a horse which he pro
poses to sell, he must feed it extra,
and even then may not be able to
make a sale just when the horse is in
prime condition. Horses cannot as
a rule be sold just when one wants to
sell.
But sheep can be butchered and
sent to market any time from January
to December. This one consideration
is quite an item in these times.
Then they require very little atten-
ton and care. They get their own
living even from a poor and rocky
pasture, which is their natural abode,
where other stock would starve, until
very late liz the fall, and can Returned
out earlier in the spring than either
cattle or horses.
In the winter is the only time when
they need feeding, and this is but
small item in comparison with the
require.
Then the profit they produce will
compare favorably with anything on
the farm.
bought last fall six eve lambs, fine
specimens they were. They cost me
twelve dollars. AS they were late
lambs they did not have any young
this spring, but they will make all the
better sheep for this reason.
They were fed during the winter
cheap hay with some oats, and occa-
sionally feed of carrots or turnips.
They yielded this spring forty two
pounds Of wool, which at the market
price of fifteen cents, is worth $3.50,
or over fifty per cent of their original
cost. But this is not all. These sheep
would be worth in the spring three
dollars piece, another fifty per cent,
as this was the price at which they
were sold at a neighbours auction sale.
The manure from them would be
about the value Of the labor of tend
ing them through the winter So
that I am well pleased with the invest
ment
Another case, which is that of a
neighbor, gives fully as good results.
He wintered twenty-one sheep. He
raised twentyo one lambs which he
sold to a butcher for $500. The wool
sold for S24.
Taking the value of the sheep at
three dollars piece, and counting
the manure to balance the care be-
slowed, we have return in one year
of S17.70 above the original invest
ment. What pays better?

THREE SILVER CONVENTIONS.
Popuiists, Democrats and Republicans
of nebraska Who Champion the
White Metal

LINCOLN, NEBR., Aug. lon Septem-
ber three silver conventions of the Popu-
lists, Democrats and Republicans will be
held here. All arrangements have been
completed to make the occasion great
jollifcation of the silver forces. The three
bodies will act separately but in con juno
ton, and will nominate the same candi-
dates. After the meetings the mass con-
vention will be held. Letters from several
prominent National bimetallists have been
received by the committee saying the
writers will be present.
W. J. Bryan, Senator Henry M. Teller
and Hon. C. A. Towne will in turn ad-
dress the conventions. The plans have
been made more elaborate in order to
coupterac the influence OF the reports
that have been circulated recently con-
cerning the alleged caucus of Bryan's
friends in Nebraska to force him to quit
talking silver for a while. The meeting
will also be the occasion of a National ad-
dress to be issued by Bryan to the advo-
Gates OF The silver cause throughout the
world. 1t will touch upon the progress
of the cause being made throughout the
country, and the evidence that Bryan has
himself received during the past SLY
months on the lecture pla tform about the
renewed interest in silver. The address
will reiterate that it is tho only living
issue, and that all factions are to-day
tending in that direction for the campaign
of 1900. Brvan's friends will also at the
same time formally deny that they have
contemplated asking him to Withdraw
even tenn porarily from the pla tform. and
will deny that they have said silver was a
dead issue.

posed OF 2700 delegates. the Democrats of
the same number and the Republican

AdmiralS Will Prevent
Landing of Turkish
Troops.
This Action Taken to Keep
the Sultan From Increasing
Crete GarrisonS.
Fresh Delay Caused In the Negoti-
atlons for Peace Between the
MosIems and Greeks.

LONDON, ENG, Aug. IA dispatch
to tie Daily News from Canea says the
adm trails of the foreign fleets inform d
the Governor of Crete that they had given
orders TO pr vent the landing OF any
Turkish troops on the island, using force,
If necessary, to carry out tie order. The
Governor replied he was not authorized to
accept their decision.
The fact that the foreign admirals have
signifed their intention of preventing the
Sultan from augmenting the Turkish
forces in Crete casts doubt on his agree
ment to reduce the garrisons there. 1t Is
probable that the admirals have received
information that instead of Withdrawing
troops Turkey purposes increasing them.
Such a course would be certain TO precipi-
tate further conflicts with the Christian
insurgents who are now maintaining a
peaceful attitude through the promise
that Moslem soldiers will be Withdrawn.

for other articles. with the result that

ference will meet again Tuesday.

MARc0KFS WIRELESS 7ELEGRAPHY
The inventor Explains That He Has

Twelve Miles.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 1.-The World

inventor OF wireless telegraphy, in which
the latter says:
The greatest distance we have been

"At Spezia l sent messages without

the process with the modified Bramley
receiver a current could be transmitted
about 100 yards without connecting
wires Then I found that without in-
creasing the battery supply, but simply
increasi sing the height of the vertical wire,
the influence of the instrument extended
over distance increasing in geometrical
ratio to the increased height of the wire.
The wire must extend Into the air. A
wire carried to the top of high mast OF a
ship ought to enable captain to tele-
graph a considerable distance, figuring
that 100 feet in the height of the wire
means twelve miles IN the distance of
communication.
"By the same process magazines could
be exploded in war from great distance,
and signals be sent so an enemy could not
possibly interrupt communications. 1t
has been said current radiates in all
directions from the sending instrument,
therefore message would go to the
enemy's camp as well.
"But this could be easily prevented, as
I have proved by means of electrical re-

is not certain that will ever be able to
send messages across the Atlantic, but
see no reason why not if / can increase
the height of the vertical wire enough.

much to install a telegraph system by my
plan as on the old system. Instruments
are slightly more expensive, but l
imagine the decrease in cost will be
brought about by the absence of miles of
wire and poles"
That the invention is a practical fact
is shown by the formation OF a COM
pany at London on Saturday, controlling
all the rights except those of Italy, which
company paid Marconi $50, 900 spot cash
ana gave him $499, 900 worth of shares.

German Press Com
ments on Great Brit
aims Attitude.
Signs OF Commercial War
in Which This Country
May Figure.
Agrarians Take Comfort in Antici-
pating an Anglo-Am erican
Conflict.

BERLIN, GERMANY, Aug. 1.-All the
German newspapers comment lengthily
upon the action of Great Britain in de-
nouncing a commercial treaty with the
German Zolverein. The semi official
papers are generally careful to disguise
any suggestion of uneasiness, and express
the belief that a new treaty containing a
'most favored nation" clause but ex-
Guiding British colonies, will be concluded
between the two nations. 1t is said that
Sir Frank LasceIles, British EN- bassador,
has already suggested such treaty.
The Liberal papers urge the re-establish-
ment Of satisfactory commercial relations
with England. The semi official Ham
burgischer's correspondent is chiefly i'm
pressed with the probable result of the
denuncation, coming as it does on TOP of
the new American tariff. 1t contends
that the agitation was started by the
agrarians, for the customs war with the
United States has gained immensely in
Importance in consequence of the denun-
citation, and says the situation is simply
this:
'.In 1895 the German export trade to
North America was 1913 per cent of the
whole export trade of the empire, and the
export to England was 1913. Thus 306
per cent of the total exports of Germany
are threatened by recent events" The
paper appeals to the Government to deal
with the difficult task of protecting the
nation S industry wisely and energetically.
The agrarIan papers make no attempt
to con ceal their anger. The Post advocates
a customs war withGreat Britain unless
another treaty be concluded. The Kreuz
Zeitung takes comfort in anticipating a
conflict between Great Britain and the
United States, the European countri
meanwhile banding together to present a
united comm ercial front against England.

Britain has signified her intention of ab-
rogating the commercial treaty with Bel
