Mr. Wyndham concluded with an eulogy
OF the commander iu-chief, Lord Wolseley,

The Irish members and Henry Labouchere

Michael Davitt, nationalist member for

there had never been such magnificent rob

was "the greatest that ever tempted the

John Dillon, nationalist member for East

the chairman asked him to resume his seat
This he refused to do and he was then or

An uproarious scene ensued, Mr.. Redmond
attempting to continue and his voice being
drowned by the cheers of the Irish members

The chairman at length being able to
make himself heard asked Mr.. Redmond if
he declined to withdraw. The latter replied
that he did not wish to be discourteous,

FeedInR whey to Hogs.

Whey contains more nutritive value
than it is popularity supposed to have
Though most Of the fats and casein
have been taken from it, there is q
small proportion Of both Of these that
goes through the press. These have
some value, but not enough with the
large proportion Of water to be fed
alone. There is also some sugar, which
makes the pigs fond Of whey, SO they
will eat until they are distended with
whey, while growing poor in flesh and
not gaining in weight at all. But mix
some corn and oat meal with this whey
and add the least bit Of linseed meal,
and the whey becomes altogether diff
ferent food. It might be said that the
whey contributes nothing Of value to
the ration. It does, for it makes it more
palatable il given in moderation. The
sweet in the whey makes it an appe-
tizer, to encourage the animal to eat
more than it otherwise would. Boston

First prize l898.l
as a donor Of prizes and eminent royal
patron, well sustaining the example set
by his father, the prince Consort, as
founder Of the Royal Agricultural So
ciety and leading improver of cattle
and other live stock. Their royal high
nesses lunOhed with the council Of the
smithfeId club. The queen won two
breed cups, three first prizes and two
second prizes. The champion prizes and
the centenary gold medal were awarded
to Lord Stratbmore for his Aberdeen
Angus heifer, declared to be the finest
animal in the show. This heifer also
gained the chief honors at the Birming-
ham cattle show. Baron Ferdinand dc
Rothschild was elected president for
1900.
Just a century ago, continues The
News, in the good old days Of farming
when American beef and Australian
mutton were not, when sheep stealing
was hanging matter and wheat was
low at 40 shillings quarter, Derby
shire farmer named Wilkes had an idea
Do not infer that farmers in general, or
Derbyshire farmers in particular, ever
lacked ideas. But the one which ema-
mated from the fertile brain of Mr..
Wilkes was an idea worthy Of the cap
ital I-almost an inspiration. This men,
tai acorn, if one may use the express
sion, was the seed whence sprang the
Smitbtield Cattle and Sheep society.
The laudable aim Of the society was
"to supply the cattle markets Of Smith.
field and elsewhere with the cheapest
and best meat" Mr.. Wilkes idea was
taken up with moderate enthusiasm,
and in the following year, 1899, the
first show was held in Dolphin yard,
Smithfeld The society then counted
11S members. Their show consisted Of
two classes Of cattle and two of sheep,
and the value Of the prize list was ex-
actly 80 guineas. The scheme Of classi-
fcation adopted was almost medi@val
in it's simplicity. "Beasts'' fed on grass,
hay turnips or Cabbages competed in
one class; "beasts" fed on corn or cake
in the other; sheep (be pleased to note
chat agricultural zoology recognizes
only one beast) fed on grass, etc., COM
peted together, and sheep fed on corn.
Five years later the members roll had
increased by one, but the show was ex.
panded to nine classes for beasts and
sheep, opened its arms to the humble,
unimproved pig and offered e9l5 5s. in
prizes.
The era Of real prosperity dawned
with the spread of railways In 1862,
when the show was held for the first
time at Islington, there were 80 classes,
and over SO, 600 was offered in prizes,

is the best Farms rather far from
market and especially from towns or
villages where q lot Of worthless dogs
are kept would be we'll suited for sheep
farms.
Now 20 estimate the probable num-
Der Of sheep that could be raised pcr
acre, think that about two would be a
fair estimate, which should make an
average Of from $5 to SO per head. IL
they were Merinos, more could be raised
and if some Of the larger, Coarser kinds
perhaps less.
The Down sheep have advantages
that are too often overlooked. Owing
to the fact that the fleece is more COM
pact and smooth on the surface they
never wet to the skin by being exposed
to rain or snow. The lambs when drop.
ped are smarter and better able to help
themselves. Being rather smaller aud
naturally more lively, they are better
adapted to come through a dry season
In good shape. However, just here it is
better TO provide some kind Of soiling
crop and not allow the flock to shrink
for want Of sufficient food.
There are some who will hardly be-
lieve that two sheep can be raised an
nually on an acre Of land, bat with the
experience have had with sheep be-
lieve it is quite within the range Of
possibility, and the farm will improve
from year to year. To do this, say on
farm Of 100 acres, there should be about
70 acres in grass. ten Of which might
be in rye. This would afford two weeks
of early pasture, allowing the other
pastures to get a good start before turn
ing on them.

Science OF Feeding.

With proper care and feed, says Farm
and Home, one can increase the number
Of eggs to a great extent. Hens cannot
lay or produce eggs unless their food
contains the elements of which the egg
is oOmposed-that is, large share Of
albuminous or egg producing elements,
In addition to the quantity Of albumen
required in the organism Of the fowl,
the laying hen requires an extra amount
for the white Of an egg, it being about
IL per cent albumen, and this must be
furnished in her feed. Chemical anal
yaes Of different grains show wheat to
contain larger amount Of albumen
than any other grain Therefore it is
the grain to make the base for egg pro-
ducing food. Another important item
when the fowls do not have large field
to range in--is to give them once day,
il possible, feed of chopped clover
hay. They need this, not alone for the
bulk, but it is rich in nitrogen, which
enters largely into the formation of the
egg. They also need meat at least three
times o week. We like the cut raw bone
and meat together BEST Some green
food is also needed every day. Chickens
are like the human family in that they
like change Of food. If fowls that
have been fed on one kind Of grain for
some time do not have the appetite they
should have, give them little cooked
food, such az cake made from coarse
Cornmeal and meat scraps together or
some other new grain. They will eat it
ravenously. While wheat is one Of the
best feeds for producing eggs, it is one
of little value for fattening purposes
compared with corn, as corn contains O
great deal Of carbonaceous or fatty mat
ter, which puts on flesh in very short
time. Pure water is also essential to
laying fowls. There is nearly as much
water in pound Of eggs as in q pint Of
milk.

SHEEP AS A SPECIALITY.
Strong Points OF Different Breeds.
CrOnR and Pasture.

OEWWh lAMW ANhAEEge
In a paper recently read before the
Ganvills co. institute o. O. Shaw dis
oussed sheep as q speciality. In this
county, said he, there are perhaps few
IL any farms devoted entirely TO sheep,
and it is a question open TO diversity Of
opinion as to how many sheep farm
will carry or produce per acre. Those
who have not had experience will differ
widely on this point. Some have Rn
idea, although think an erroneous one,
that sheep above all other animals are
particularly hard on pasture. II is true
they will do we'll on pasture too short
for cattle to thrive on, and IL run to-
gether they would be hard on cattle. On
the contrary, pasture grazed close by
sheep is something like cropping a
hedge. 1t will thioken upin the bottom
and rather improve than otherwise, and
while sheep will do better than other
stock on short pasture, in growthy sea-
sons they can be fed on long pasture
with less waste than il horses or cattle
were fed on it. Their small feet do less
damage in tramping, and anything left
can be made into good clean hay. The
number of sheep that could be kept or
produced would depend on the kind or
breed. No doubt some kinds consume
very much more food than others.
A sheep farm need not necessarily be
an expensive one. A rather heavy soil
