Sheep on Weedy Farms.-That sheep
are more profitable for the average
farmer than cattle, and especially for
those owning hilly or broken farms,
cannot be denied, as sheep will thrive
where steer will starve, and for re-
newing worn out and run down farms
they have no equal, as they soon rid
the land of weeds, briars and brush,
while their manure is the richest Of
all fertilizers and is distributed even
ly over the surface of the soil. But,
like every other business, care and
judgment must be exercised In order
to secure the highest rate Of profit.
A full-blooded ram should be used, as
a scrub is dear at any price.-Epitom-

Suggestions on Pork Productions.

In the pig-feeding experiments at
the Utah Station, to which reference
was made last week, the further con-
illusions were as follows:
1) Young hogs fed on grain alone
did not do we'll and appeared to make
poor use of the food they ate. The
hogs on this ration required 2.92
pounds Of digestible matter to make
one pound of gain at an average weight
of 70 pounds, and only 1888 pounds
when they weighed 127 pounds. When
the food was changed to milk and
grain a marked improvement was eff
fected in their growth and thriftiness.
(2) Those hogs fed on milk alone or
grain alone when on pasture, did much
better than hogs similarly fed In small
pens. The milk-fed lot, on pasture,
gained .05 pounds more per day and re-
quired "a pounds less dry matter to
one pound of gain than did the lot fed
In pens, and the granted lot, on pas
ture, gained 3 pounds more per day
and required .SS pounds less Of dry
matter to each pound Of gain. On the
other hand, however, the hogs fed milk
and grain in combination did better In
the pens, gaining .05 pounds more per
day than did those on pasture and re-
CURED practically the same amount OF
food to make pound of gain.
(3) The appetite Of the hogs and the
nalatahilitv of the food seemed to have
a very beneficial effect upon the rapid
ity and economy of the gain. The
milk and granted hogs ate .37 pounds
more digestible matter per day than
those fed on grain alone, and Las
sounds more than those fed on milk
done. They gained Al pounds per day
more than the hogs fed grain alone and
SO pounds more than those fed milk
alone. They also required 81 pounds
less digestible matter for each pound
of gain than did the hogs fed grain
alone and .27 pounds less than the hogs
fed milk alone.
"a Young hogs are in every way the
mure economic producers Of pork.
The hogs fed milk and grain required
g. per cent more to grow pound of
live weight when they weighed from
200 to 255 pounds, than they did when
they weighed from SO to 100 pounds,
and for those hogs fed on grain alone
the difference in favor of the smaller
weight was Sc per cent.

placing the name of w. +. Conger

portionment of the state left two re-
publican senatorial committees in the

Chatham, Va, Sept. 20.-Congress-
man Joseph Bailey of Texas spoke at
Chatham, the county seat, Monday
great crowd was present to hear
the famous Texan. Mr. Bailey made
it plain that the democrats mean to
make the present campaign an ag-
gressive one. Among other things
he said.
For months the republican poll
ticians and republican editors have
talked and written necessarily about
the mistakes of the democratic min

order to divert public attention from

assertions. To escape just uniyerso
Indignation aroused against them

potency or dishonesty of those whom

The record of the democratic party
throughout the last session Of con-
gress is absolutely above criticism. /
do not say this for the pur-
pose of claiming credit for myself;
but as a matter of simple justice to
my democratic associates. | declare
that in all the history of the govern
ment no minority party ever passed
through a war session of congress
with so much credit as did the dem
acrats in the present congress.
Events have completely vindicated
our course in respect to the revenue
bill We opposed the passage of that
bill because we believed it authorized
th5 unnecessary sale of interest-bear-
ing bonds, and the condition OF the
treasury proves conclusiyely that we
were right When congress convenes
in December, it will find a surplus in
the treasury, above the 100000 600
gold reserve, that will exceed the
amount received from the sale of
bonds, thus demonstrating there was
no necessity for the government to
sell bonds.
The Spanards being unable to raise
money by taxation and powerless TO
borrow it, the end Of the war was in
sight before it was begun. The re-
publican leaders in congress knew
this as well as we did; If they did
not they are not wise enough to be
entrusted with the administration OF
this government. But with the
knowledge that the war must soon
end, and knowing that with all their
wastefulness and extravaganza 1t
would probably not cost over 100000
600, they proceeded 10 enact a law
which imposes s150,OO0,000 in annual
taxes upon the people. and authorizes
