Simply because there 10 no corn fed
there. Why is Nebraska so successful
and prosperous? Why are they getting.
40c a bushel for their corn fed to sheep2
They are raising the corn and feeding
1t to the sheep right on their farms
and paying OF their mortgages. Why
should we not do the same way? This
thing will have to be done, and l in
sist upon it we shall breed our own
sheep. 1t will pay us better to feed
our corn and our oats and our hay to
well bred sheep than TO range sheep.
There are thousands Of acres of land
in this country that ought never to be
plowed another time. They should be
put into pasture. These lands must be
kept up. These poor farms must be
~recuperated, and nothing can do it so
thoroughly and quickly as sheep. l be-
lieve the time is coming, has come,
when we will have TO improve our
lands or abandon them, as they have in
the older states. l have great hope IN
the young men of our state. They will
catch on" to the best methods Of rails
ing sheep, adopt all the system there Is
in commercial sheep raising, study the
adaptation of breeds to the purposes
they want, and the adaptation Of breeds
to soil. If we will adopt commercial
sheep raising in Illinois, with all 1t
means, and breed our own sheep on Dur
poor lands, our stale will be more
prosperous than 1t has been since the
war, when our lands were newer.

A series Of interesting experiments
In the preservation of eggs, carried on
last year in Germany, has just been
published in al official consular report.
After eight months of preservation,
400 eggs, divided into twenty different
parcels for that many methods of ex-
pertinent, were examined, with heter-
ogenous results. Upon opening for
use, the eggs presented the following
results, according to the parcels origin
ally numbered: 1. Eggs put up for

hn, 70 per cen bad. 7. Vanished

lie acid, 70 per cent bad. 8. Put in

vaseline, all good. 10. Preserved in
lime water, all good. 20. Preserved
In a solution of water glass, all good.
The last three methods are conse-
quently to be considered the best ones,
and especially the preservation in the
solution of water glass, as vanishing
the eggs with vaseline takes too much
time, and the treatment with lime
water sometimes communicates to the
eggs a disagreeable odor and taste,
There is one drawback with eggs pre-
served in a solution of water glass
the shell easily bursts when placed in
boiling water. 1t Is said this may be
avoided by cautiously piercing the
shell with a strong needle.

Robertson's Combination silape,

Prof. Henry, in his new book on Feed
and Feeding" has this to say about
the Robertson combination silage:
Robertson, of the dominion station,
Ottawa, in the effort to secure a silags
containing the nutrients of a
ration, concluded that the following
mixture would prove satisfactory: Ten
tons Of green fodder corn, three tons
of English horse beans, and one and
one-half tons of sunflower heads. To
secure the proper proportion of these
crops under Canadian conditions, for
each acre Of corr there should be
planted half an acre of horse beans
and one-fourth Of an acfe of sunfiow-
ers. This mixture wac bund satisfac-
tory in feeding trials with dairy cows
and ~fattening steers. Since the horse
bean does not thrive - the United
States, except possibly In the extreme
north, some other plant must be sub
stituted in mixtures o. this character.
Mr.. G.. F. Weston, superintendent Of
the Biltmore estate, North Carolina,

that n load of CON pea vines mixed
with two loads of green corn forage

Sheep Raising in Illinois.


In the course Of an address on this
the Illinois Sheep Breeders associa-
ton, said:
Fifty-fve years ago we had the poor
est sheep you ever saw. They would
not be called sheep now. After a while
we realized we had to have better sheep
or quit the business. When we had to
fence the sheep we got better sheep.
AS time went along the business didn't
pay as well as we wanted it to, and we
had to have heavier ~fieeces, and they
grew heavier and heavier, and then
came this depression, and mutton was
in demand, and the sheep we used to
have were not quite the thing we
thought. Then we had to have a larger
sheep. We put on the mutton attach
ment, and 1 found when l made inves-
legations for the agricultural depart
ment that the men in 1889 who had
mutton in their flocks were pretty well
satisfied, and the men who didn't have
mutton in their focks didn't know
what they were going to do.
In Illinois our situation is particu-
larry happy and particularly sorry. We
have the best land on earth. We can
raise more corn than anybody. We can
raise as much clover hay as anybody.
We can have the best blue grass pas
lures of anybody, and just as much of
them; and as you have heard of the
excellence Of blue grass pasture for
cattle SO it is for sheep. But we are
drifting in the right direction. We
Kept sheep a long time ago and thought
we never would raise mutton in this
country. 1t Is raised everywhere now
! n the United States. There isn't a
district out west where mutton is not
included in their flocks. We can beat
the world II w try, and it isn't very
hard for Illinois people to try.
We are today surrounded by corn
fields. In nay own county we have
corn to burn. 1t u cheaper in Macon
county than anywhere else. Why?

The Butter Conflict Abroad.

The American butter-makers have a
hard fight before them in their at
tempts to capture the butter market.
London says: The high hopes Of
American producers do not appear to
be approaching speedy realization so
far as the trade in butter with this
country is concerned, for IL we take
the eason represented by the first two
months of the year and compare it
with the preceding season, we find
thai the receipts from the United
States have fallen from 46.S73 cwt. to
8,410 cwt. The imports from Denmark,
Sweden and New Zealand have, an the
other hand, materially increased. An
other factor which Is calculated to tell
against the American product is the
increase in the supply of butter from
Ireland. and with this increase a de-
cided improvement in the quality and
uniformity of the article, resulting
from a careful study Of the require
ments of the English market. 1t can
not be said that American makers
have altogether "hit off" the taste of
the English consumer, the preference
for a less highly favored article being
to the disadvantage of the American
product. The competition in butter
being so keen, and the sources of pro-
duction SO numerous-thereby giving
almost unlimited choice to the British
purchaser-it is indispensable, apart
from the question of flavor, that the
choicest grades only should be put
upon the market, and that the greatest
attention should be paid to uniformity
of quality, in which there Is certainly
much room for Improvement"

A CASE.

The following case was printed originally
In The Monitor, Q newspaper published at
Meadford, Ontario. Doubts were raised as
to its truthfulness, consequently a close
watch was kept on the case for two years
and the original statement has now been
completely verified.
Mr.. Petch had been a hopeless paralytic
for five years. His case has had wide at-
~tention. He was confined to his bed, was
bloated almost beyond recognition, and
could not take solid food. Doctors called
the disease spinal scIerosis, and all said he
could not live. The Canadian Mutual Life
Association, after a thorough examination,
paid him his total disability claim of 81 $50,
regarding him as forever incurable.
For three years he fingered in this condi-

Smau CanltaI for Poultry.

II Is an advantage with poultry keep
ing that the beginner can make his
capital; that is, he can grow his CAPT.
tai If he will be patient, says Cole
mans Rural World. What Is meant
Is that If one commences with fifty hens
he need not be compelled to buy more
stock Immediately, as he can prepare
one year for the next. He may have
200 hens the second year, and have all
accommodations complete. The third
year he may have a flock of 500, and
then increase every year, SO that in
FIVE years his farm may contain 1000
hens. 1t will extend tbs period over
five years, hence as the beginning is
with a few, the capital will be small,
and, as he adds to the number of his
hens, he at the same time enlarges his
capital. Now. that Is a point in favor
of the poultry business--this gradual
enlargement of the capital which makes
it so attractive to many, and which also
makes the business possible to those
who cannot derive as large profit in
proportion to capital invested in any
other pursuit. But the great difficulty
is the fact that nearly all who turn
their attention to poultry are unwilling
to wait five years. They are not in
clined to build up a business, but en-
deavor to get into 1t the first year, with
a proof from limited capital and no ex-
perience, the result being that the lie
of failures is a long one. The one who
begins with a few and increases his
flock gains experience as he travels
along the road Of progress, and, while
increasing his capital through the nat
ural increase of his locks, is adding
to his experience and becoming more
capable of accomplishing the objects
sought. The capacity of the plant is
made the greater by the production of
the flocks, the eggs and poultry sold
being the sources Of income. 1t may
be a hardship to support a family while
getting well into the business, but the
sacrifices made will be we'll repaid
later. While building up a business,
the selection of good layers from pure
breeds and the escaping of disease will
also assist in insuring success.

sensation, until at last the blood began TO
course freely and vigorously through his
body. Soon he was restored to his old
time health.
A reporter for The Monitor recently
called on Mr.. Petch again and was told:
You may say there is no doubt as to my
cure being permanent. l am in better
health than when / gave you the first in
terview, and certainly attribute my cure
to DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
T these pills l owe my release from the
living death, and / shall always bless the

Such is the history of one of the most re-
markable cases in modern times. In the
face of such testimony, can anyone say
that DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not en-
titled TO the careful consideration of every
s~ufferer-man, woman or child Is not the

Tuberculosis In Raw Milk.

Conflicting testimony as to contagia.

quarters, writes John McDougall in the
Dairy World London). Professor Law
says milk is more to be dreaded than
meat, being uncooked, and an infants
principal food, but that a strong con-

two months old pig fed on affected
milk for six weeks, and when killed,
found perfectly free and healthy,
whereas rabbits inoculated with the
same milk were affected in six weeks.
Nocard and M'Fadzeah hold that milk
from a tuberculosis cow, unless the
udder is affected, is ndninfecting. Bang

Outlet for Our Bltter.-Addressing
Wisconsin dairymen. j. H. Monrad
said: During the past year several
experimental shipments of creamery
butter have convinced the dealers in
England that if they can afford to pay
u price they can get as good butter
from here as anywhere. 1t remains to
convince the consumers in England of
this fact. The trouble is that our home
market in reality Is the best, and for
that reason it may be years before we
establish a regular all-the-year-round
export, but as my own private opinion
l may state that l have been convinced
that we have a safety valve for our pro-
duction and that there is no need OF
letting extra creamery go below Is cents
in Chicago II we will only deliver per.
feet milk or adopt Pasteurization. in
order to secure a uniformity. 1t is to be
hoped that this safety valve will be
used rather than the usual cold storage
speculation, which only depresses the
market later on"
