The demand for lambs in preference
to sheep is growing all over the coun-
try, and there is a constantly increas-
ing call for the IS or S0-pound lamb in
place of the larger sheep. There is
more profit to the feeder also, as he
can get $3.50 for an S0-pound lamb,
while the 10O-pOund sheep will bring
but $40. ....,..... ........

Eastern Colorado farmers who do
not enjoy the benefits of irrigation are
well pleased with their efforts to grow
sorghum successfully and are going
to plant considerable Of it this spring.
In growing sorghum the all import
ant point is to prepare the ground so
that it will be moist and fairly clean
before the sorghum is sown. This can
be accomplished by fall blowing or
by early spring blowing, followed by
frequent borrowings. Do not SOW the
seed until the ground and weather
have both become warm. Sorghum is
pre-eminently a hot weather plant. If
sOwn too early the seed will not GER
inmate, or if it does it will grow but
feebly. In any case it grows slowly
at the first, but after a time the
growth is very rapid. Use three pecks
of seed to the acre, sowing with a
grain drill. Let all the tubes be in use
and bury the seed say two to three
inches deep. Some growers use light
slant tooth harrow just before the sOr-
ghum comes up.

soon exhausted, and they should have

II the globe is fairly large. One can
usually tell when the fish are need
ing water. They stand on their tails
with their mouths to the surface of the
water, and move slowly in that most
ton, generally making bubbIing
sound. When you put the fresh water
into the globe let it dash in from a
height, SO that plenty of air gets in
TOO, and let your fish have a handful
OF shells or small stones. They look
pretty and the fish appreciate being
able to poke about among them for bits
OF food, and it gives them something
to do and little interest in life. Peo-
pie frequently make the mistake of
thinking that the fish get enough food
out OF the water. This is not SO. They
need feeding when in captivity. Pack
cts OF fishes food, chiefly consisting
OF dried ants eggs, can be procured
rom any seed or naturallsts' shop. AS
they require only very small quantity

1t is said that goldfish should never
be handled. This is no doubt true, If
they are kept for breeding purposes.
otherwise, it does them no harm-if
due care is exercised-and you may
pick them up one by one in your hands
and pop them into the globe Of fresh
water. Never buy a fish unless the
fms are erect and fully spread. Di-
rectly the fish is out of health the fins
close more and more, until it dies,
when they are quite shut up against
the body.

LoNDoN's SANDWICH GIRLS.
New Way of Advertising that Has
Startled London Town.


New York Journal: No longer can
the Sandwich man" pursue his call
ing unmolested. The Sandwich wo-
man" has entered the field of compe-
tition. This is in London-but then
good thing there is speedily reproduced
in the American metropolis. The
young women are attired in white hats
and pantomime dresses, and the only
thing about them that savors the least
bit of an advertisement is the dainty
sash thrown over their shoulders with
the name Of the firm upon it. They
go in skies and carry handbills--no, we
will say souvenirs which they distrib-
ute in such charming way that ev-
erybOdy wants one. They look hap
Ply, too-well fed and we'll treated
so that people look upon them with
smiles of approval. 1t might not seem
quite proper for six such charming
young women to parade the streets so
publicly without chaperone, or an
escort, so q functionary of this sort is
provided in the form of a handsome
young man in uniform, He is rugged
up as nearly like IN army officer ~
possible without making him an ac-
tual counterfeit that the police might
seize, The swell looking escort walks
by the side Of the line of girls. He
supplies them with souvenirs to dis
tribute from big haversack. All the
while he keeps sharp lookout that
no young gallants or rude cockneys
pay too much attention to his fair
charges. Six pretty girls to look out
for is a pretty large task for any young
man, but this one manages admirably.
The secret of his control of them was
disclosed when New York merchant
in London accosted him one day last
month for an explanation about this
new departure in advertising. He fiat
tiers them. Sir these are no ordi-
nary girls" he exclaimed, with pride.

the right time, and If It makes heavy
growth, and a It Is not mown OF, and
IL the whole of the plant is left as 3
protection to the roots, and if the win
ter is mild, the crimson clover may
stand the winter and come out all right
in the spring. But. as a general thing,
the north is not locality where 1t can
be regarded as a perennial. To be sure
OF having it serve its intended purpose
1t must be regarded as an annual, and
treated as such. In this way the best
returns will be obtained from 1t.
We believe that in the north crimson
clover should be generally sown with
some other crop, oats, peas, or vege-
tables that ripen in midsummer. These
crops give protection to the crimson
clover till it is high enough to with
stand the heat of the sun, It can be
sown on the ground after the other
crop is in, and need not be narrowed
in or covered in any way. 1t sprouts
very easily and will soon send down
it's tiny roots for moisture and food.
Attempts have been made at some OF
the stations in the north to grow it at
different seasons, but the sowings in
the spring have proven the best. In the
south the seed is sown in September,
and the plant blooms In the following
April, but this rule cannot be followed
here. At the Michigan station crimson
clover seed was sown with oats in the
spring and produced a heavy crop OF
fodder in October and November, the
roots being plowed under in the fall,
thus adding much nitrogen and fibre to
the land. Another piece was sown
without oats and produced a much
smaller quantity Of hay, but gave Sec
ond crop that was used as pasturage
After the pasturage failed it was IN
shape to be plowed under.
Two years ago the same station seed

of each month, beginning with March
This March seeding ripened q gooe
crop Of hay. The plat sown in Map
made a heavy growth that carried II
through the winter, but this can be
depended on but little. It is evident
that if a crop has to be left on as g
protection most of its value is sacri'
feed, even for manure. Spring seedlings
have proved best for northern localities
and will continue to do so for the rea
son that the seed is more certain tt
receive the needed moisture at that
time. Here is one Of the greatest dan
gers that the crop has to face-th'
lack Of moisture-for even if it hai
enough moisture to start the seed /
often fails, because the moisture is no
present in sufficient quantity to con
tinue the growth till the plant is wei
established. The very fact Of its sprout
ing so easily is against it in this re
gard, that any light shower is likel!
to cause it to sprout when it has M
moisture by means of which to con
tinue future growth. The amount o
seed to be used per acre varies from
eight to fifteen pounds, according tt
character of soil and atmospheric con
ditions.

Early Illinois Orchardlng.

The early settlers Of central and
southern Illinois were neither a fruit
eating nor a fruit-producing people,
They depended upon the forests for
their supply of fruit. The children
gathered the blackberries, grapes,
plums, persimmons and paw paws. A
few more enterprising had peaches,
They were seedlings as a rule. Peaches
were peaches to the pioneer. AS the
country developed, some of the farmers
began to plant apple sprouts and seed
lings. When the chief end of the apple
was cider or vinegar, it made little diff
ference what kind of an apple they
had. Some who had been used to bet.
ter fruit, brought CRAFTS with them,
On our farm are some apple trees
about sixty years old which still show
the point of union between the STOCK
and the scion. Many of the early va
rieties thus developed were unsuited to
our soil and climate. All of the orch
ards were small and only intended to
supply the family. This was the state
of orcharding in Illinois up to the
building Of the Illinois Central Rail.

Digging Forest Trees.-A noted hor-
ticulturist says: The greatest care
should be taken in digging the trees
to secure plenty of good roots, and that
without bruising them. Again. the
trees should never be exposed to the
air any longer than is absolutely neces-
sary. Handle carefully. Put them in
ground as quickly as can be done. Heel
them in at once so that the air will not
injure them. Never leave them out II
the weather is frosty. In fact. do NOT
iig them if it is frosty weather, More
4rees are lost from careless handling
than from any other cause. Remember
that the trees are alive and that thew
cannot. be kept alive in any better way
than to keep their roots covered with
earth. Roots out of ground are like
fish out Of water; it is only a question
OF time how soon they will die.

OUR NAHY.

The United States navy has always done its duty intelligently and cour- ageously. Commodore Dewey's glor- ious achievement is a splendid addition to splendid record reaching back to the revolutionary days. As for our naval officers to-day no service in the world can match them for education and training Admiral Belknap says of them: We have officers to-day, graduates of our naval academy at An napolis and from the civil colleges in the land, who can take the metal from the mine, and put it through all the processes of preparation and manufact- ure, until it appears in completed form in the hulls and engines, boilers and dynamos, guns and armor, shells and torpedoes of our ships of war. Expert as electricians, they invent or improve electrical appliances; as chemists they naval use; as inventors, the guns and carriages of our navy since the days of Dahlgren have been designed by them in every part and built under their supervision. The guns turned out at the naval gun factory at Washing ton are not excelled by Krupp or any other fabricator of heavy ordnance in Europe; as linguists and mathemati- clans, naturalists and adopts in thera- peutics and surgery, sanitation and hygiene, they have won worldwide fame; as photographers they have no superiors, whether in surveying the coasts and harbors of the globe or in sounding the depths of the sea- Equal ly at home in the landing of infantry and artillery on shore, they lead the world as versatile and accomplished officers on shipboard.

Protest Against the Cry for Vengeance. To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 I regretted the publication in such a paper as the Journal and Courier of the verses which appeared in your col umns in your issue of April 29. They voice the sentiment which we are just now accused by our friends on the other side of the water as in truth making the chief American cry. The last num- Der of the Churchman quotes the Lon don Spectator as authority for the statement that vengeance for the Maine is becoming the chief American cry, and deplores it.
 Since reading the verses which you published and to which I allude with protest I have seen in an editorial of 8 Boston weekly paper a protest against the sentiment Remember the Maine" which was used in farewell words to the men who were going to join our forces to free Cuba How unworthy a motive is vengeance beside the holy aim of liberty! Let Cuba Libre" be our cry! A SUBSCRIBER.

UNFINISHED STATUES.

It is curious to notice the number of statues that are in the sculptors' "ate- liers' waiting to be finished, erected or inaugurated. To give a few of them, let me first mention those of Victor Hugo and Balzac. The statue of the great poet by Barrias will probably not be raised before the next century; 1t will not be erected even for the great exhibition. It will represent the bard seated on rock on the coast of Guern- sey, surrounded by allegorical figures symbolzing poetry and the drama. The statue of Balzac by Rodin, which has been the cause of much discus sion, is on the point of being termina- ted. Balzac stands erect, with his arms folded, meditating on life which he de- picted so truly Next comes the statue of Sainte Beuve, for which, sad to say, it was difficult to raise funds. He is represented standing in his dressing gown, with 8 frilled shirt and necktie thrown carelessly around his neck. Jeanne d'Arc by Paul Dubois, who has personified her in the act of rushing, sword in hand, against the enemy, has not yet found a place for herself. The statue of Gounod by Mercie, is ap- preaching completion. The bust of the painter Corot is hidden somewhere. Pasteur will have his statue in Paris as well as in his native country, but it will be some time before they see the light. Finally, the monument to Victor Duruy, the historian, is still in the hands of the sculptor.-London Globe.

4 srREssFUL COUNTRY.

The news from Madrid this morning indicates some of the difficulties Spain has to contend with at home. How can country in such condition polit- ically and financially carry on a war with any vigor or success? However brave and desperate her soldiers and sailors may be they will need support from their government and they will need something to fight with and something to eat and wear. It is not now probable that they will be able to get what they need from this country, and their predicament is bad one.
 It certainly looks as if our war with Spain couldn't be long one. Another victory like that at Manila ought to satisfy Spanish honor and convince even Butcher" Weyler that there's no use kicking against the bricks"

GOOD EYES.

The yellow newspapers can't be beat en. Cables may be cut and wide seas intervene between the newspapers and the news. But the conductors of the yellow journals can sit in their magni- ficent offices and see from this country to the Philippine islands without half opening their eyes. So yesterday we had full and glowing accounts of what has happened at Manila. If when the real news comes it is found to disagree with ''the fake news" SO much the worse for the real news. Such disa- greement will not trouble the makers and sellers of the extra extras. They will shout all the louder and call more attention in bigger wooden type to their tremendous enterprise"

WOMAN NOT A CHATTEI..

A recent decision of the supreme court of Georgia holds that a wife is not part of the householder's chattels, according to the Louisville Commercial
 In a lower court in that state tempo rary injunction to restrain farm ten ant from moving or attempting to move his wife to the farm house" was granted. But the supreme court has reversed the finding, and holds that the ancient feudal system and the right of a landlord to control the domestic rela- tions of his tenant are not part of the law of that state. It was found that the lease contained no restriction as to wives, nor any provision that the land lard should have the right to appoint or nominate a wife for the tenant in case of vacancy. Therefore, when his wife died, during the lease, the tenants right to choose another was upheld, notwithstanding the landlords disaffec- tion with her, based on her earlier in- discretions. The court remarked that sensitive persons who would shield themselves from contact with disagree able neighbors should either move out or protect themselves by covenant"

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Dear sir: I have read with great pleasure the newspaper accounts of the patriotic enthusiasm of the students of Yale, and their desire to fight under the glorious standard of the republic for her honor and plighted faith. But the proud history of Yale is replete with glorious examples of exalted pat riotism and loyal devotion to duty, on the part of her sons, when called to take up arms in their countrys de- fense. And what a brilliant page their deeds have made for the nations im- mortal history,
 During the war of the rebellion seven hundred and thirty-seven graduates, non graduates and undergraduates served in the Union army; and it was estimated that more than twenty-five per cent. of the graduates of Yale, fit
