tained its organization from the firing
of the first gun in 1861 to the close Of

picture Of U.artiEl prowess unsur-

operations in which she Army Of the

by instituting q comparison between
them and other campaigns and battles.

morning of Bright's disease at the,
Hotel Netherlands. Several times re-
Gently the end seemed near but DAILY
showed wonderful vitality and rallied.
His wife, son and three daughters
were at the bedside when the end
came. ii -. ~
DAILY was n of the best known men
In Montana, and was best known, per-
haps, through his undying enmity
with w. A. Clark, the Butte copper
king. Daily worked his way up from
a poor boy to the possession of mil
lions, and from an early falling out
with Clark, the feud has continued un-
til each man has spent thousands, if
not millions, in attempting to defeat
the wishes of the other. When the
capital fight was on in Montana, DAILY
threw all his influence in favor of his
own town, Anaconda, and Clark spent
thousands for Helena. The latter
town was the successful contestant for
the place. When the legislature con-
vened two years ago in Montana, Clark
was l.. candidate for the senate, and
DAILY was there to defeat him. Clark
was elected, after a session odorous
with scandal, and then Daily set about
to have Clark shut out of the senate.
A long senatorial Investigation of the
methods employed in Clark's election
resulted in his being denied the seat,
n this was victory for Daily. The
latter has been i'll in New York for
several months, and during much of
the time. he and Clark have been
guests under the same roof.

OFFICIAL TOTALS FROM SOME
COUNTIES MAKE STATE MAJOR
TIES STILL LARGER.
Grand Forks, Nov. 12.-Secretary
Jewell received official returns yester-
day from a number of counties. and
as a result it is 10Y announced that
the majority for Mckinley in North
Dakota is 1926. Some of the figures
in the table given are unofficial
but, as the official returns so far re-
ceived have shown in each case that
the actual majorities far exceeded the
estimates, it is expected that the ire
menrdous majority of nearly 1890 will
be increased rather than diminished.
There is no longer a democratic county
in the state, even Walsh, where a dem
oeratic majority was reported, coming
to the front with a majority of three
votes for Mckinley.
1t is estimated that the total vote of
the state will be about 5 5000, against
HE~H'iH' FFF+.t -+H .rs .-E 81
a total vote of Al, 900 in 1896. McKin-
ley's majority four years ago was
5,G49, his vote being Sc per cent of the
total vote cast. This year the votes
cast by the two parties will be approx
imately 35,1O0 and $4,000 respectively,
the Mckinley vote being GA per cent
OF the whole. This undoubtedly
places North Dakota at the head Of
the list of republican states in the
union. 1
1t is estimated that the majority
for Marshall will run about 1000 be-
hind that for president, while Com
stock is expected to have about 5000
Or 5000 majority to his credit.

the wreck was so complete that it has

ugging out the three county officers
who were almost hidden in the pile of
debris, and wondering how on earth
even they escaped. The national
ticket is in the lead with a plurality of
over 300, which ean a gain of 1000
since 1896, for the reason that the
Bryan electors then received over 600
of a majority in this county. The

rolled up a majority of over 500, about
800 votes ahead of the rest of the
ticket. . ~, ,t~
Both Henry Mclean and Ole Axyig,
republican candidates to the legisla-
ture, are elected. Mclean was con-
ceded to be invincible, but they did
their worst to sidetrack Axvig. AS
the returns came in there was a con-
tinuous saw between Axvig, Stewart
and Brecke for second place; hope was
almost abandoned when Stewart was
eight votes in the lead and two pre-
cincts to hear from, which were thought
to be in favor of Brecke and would
thus drop Ole down to fourth place; it
proved otherwise, and "Axvig pulled
out of the doubtful column when the
last Of tn, returns came in with only
a majority Of three votes.

SHEEP EAT MUCH. !
STUDIES IN FEEDING FROM :
THE STANDPOINT OF NUT {
TON AND WOOL. 6

Sheep are naturally heavy feeders
and a healthy animal will consume
more feed to the hundred pounds OF
i've weight than steers, il both are
fed to their full capacity, but at the
same time the sheep will gain far
more in weight in a given time. a
sheep that will eat 40 to so per cent
more feed than a steer will gain from
go to rs per cent more in weight, says
3. P. Smith in The American CuItiya-
tor. Consequently we do not begrudge
the sheep their good appetites and
their remarkable capacity for storing
away food. Indeed, at this ratio we
would be willing for the sheep to in
crease it's appetite if the gain was pro-
portionately increased. There is no
animal on the farm that shows the
results Of poor or slack feeding more
than the sheep. You will notice it both
in the fleece and in the conformation
Of the body. The loss is thus two
fold. The fleece becomes poorer in
quality and less in quantity, and the
body of the animal becomes thin and
lank. The actual thinness Of a sheep
sometimes is not very noticeable until
sheared, because of the heavy layers
of wool that seem to bulge out the
sides. The condition Of the animal can
be determined, however, if the hand
is run yer the sides, tanks and back.

in summer and fall pastures, and it is
q good thing that they do. Sheep that
have everything their own way are
much like chickens that are never ex-
ercised. They become weak, lazy and
fat, but not altogether healthy. A
little exposure might cause their death.
We do not want sheep on the farms
that cannot hustle a little and hunt out
food when the food on the farm is low.
Nevertheless, we cannot afford to let
our supply of feed run too low suns
mer OF winter. It is slack manage
ment that fails to provide ahead Of
time for every season Of the year, and
many a farmer has been forced to sell
a good many of his sheep in the fall
or winter simply because he has not
saved sufficient food to winter them.
When food is scarce and high priced,
and sheep are low, it is a heavy loss
to either winter the sheep or to sell
them for a nominal sum. There is
rarely any good reason why a man
should n himself in such quandary.
1t takes but little calculation to fig
ure out how much food is required for
a given number Of sheep for a winter
or summer. Sometimes the mistake
is made Of trying to carry a heavier
line of stock than the conditions justi-
fy, and then the feed disappears so.
rapidly that before one realizes it there,
Is not enough for half the flock. 1t is;
better to sell the sheep now and raise.
just enough to consume all the food
that can be prepared and stored for
winter use than to let the focks go
ahead, trusting that later you may be
able to dispose Of them to advantage
and thereby run the risk of falling
short Of provisions for the number that
could otherwise be easily and salts
factoriiy carried along.
