 Now we have the ewes selected and are ready to look at the ram. 1t is sup posed that we are ordinary farmers with a flock of 40 ewes, and that we will use but one ram, to be turned out with the ewes at evening time and to be returned to the cool shade of the barn every morning, when he will be fed oats and shelled corn in liberal supply. In order that we may take such pains with the ram, he must be one that interests us.
 Now, as the ram Is half the flock b is important that he be one of good quality. It Is not enough to have a pedigreed scrub. The ram should not only be well bred, but he should be | good individual. Having a carefully selected lot of 10 ewes, all of good. use full age, healthy and sound and h thrifty condition, and having q pure bred ram of high. character and being willing to handle him in way to in- sure best results, 1t is now in order for us to determine whether we want early or late lambs. For the ordinary farmer, who has a large amount of work to do, who Is not very well pru- vided with shelter, the 1st of April is about the right time for lambing to begin. At this time the ewes will be getting grass, and the lambs will grow very rapidly. Should we desire early lambs the mating would of course need to be earlier, but my experience would teach me to advise coupling about Oct. 25 to Nov. l, and the main part of the lamb crop will drop early In April. To have the lamb crop good 1t should be uniform. To be uniform they must all be born within three weeks, and their dams must be all good, and the condi- ton of the ram must be vigorous from first to last.

Cubau Editor Shot Dead.

Senor Alberti, editor of the Don Clarid- ades of Gibara, Cuba, was shot and killed by an unknown assassin at the theater Sunday night. Alberti was an active pol itician, and his paper recently has been criticising the action of the American officials, particularly the election orders. Hidalgo, who killed Captain Smith, col lector of this port, in January, was then editor of the Don Claridades. Alberti had received threatening letters, which he ridiculed in his paper.

RAISING LAMBS.
Careful Preparation Required Tn Animal Industry as Much

To insure a crop of wheat the prep aration is made early in the season by breaking sod carefully and then keep ing the surface frequently dragged sc as to keep down weeds and prevent the evaporation of moisture and to break up and make available the ele ments of plant food in the surface soil In animal industry there must be nc less careful preparation, writes How ard H.

 The first point is to select carefully the eve flock in preparing for a good lamb crop. In selecting the ewes we would discard all broken mouth ewes and all those having any deficiency or deformity of udder. We would fur ther cull out all those ewes showing a lack of assimilative power, as eve that cannot eat and assimilate a large

An, the face of this pouting elder son Is put before us In order that we might better see the radiant and for giving face of the Father. Contrasts are mighty. The artist In sketching the field of Waterloo years after the battle put a dove in the mouth of the cannon. Raphael in one of his car toons beside the face of wretch put the face of happy and innocent child. And so the sour face of this irascible and disgusted elder brother Is brought out in order that In the contrast we might better understand the forgiving and radiant face of God. That Is the meaning of it-that God Is ready to take back anybody that Is sorry, to take him clear back, to take him back forever and forever and forever, to take him back with a loving hug, to put kiss on his parched lip, a ring on his bloated hand, an easy shoe on his chafed foot, a garland on his bleeding temples and heaven in his soul. Oh, fall fiat on that mercy! Come, my brother, and let us get down into the dust, resolved never to rise until the Fathers forgiving hand shall lift us.
 Oh, what a God we have! Bring your doxologies. Come, earth and heaven, and join in the worship. Cry aloud. Lift the palm branches. Do you not feel the Fathers arm around your neck? Do you not feel the warm breath of your Father against your cheek? Surrender, younger son! Sur render, elder son Surrender, all! Go in today and sit down at the banquet. Take a slice of the fatted calf, and afterward, when you are seated, with one hand in the hand of the returned brother and the other hand in the hand of the rejoicing father, let your heart beat time to the clappipg of the cymbal

The English Nobility Haven't Done Much
Worth Doing,
The death of the Duke of Argyll has
brought out the f0lsity OF the assump-
lion that men of hereditary wealth can
be trusted 10 do the intellectual work
That does not directly pay. And this
is simply because the Duke really did
something in that way. According to
Carlyle, the British peerage was in its
origin Il kind of gloritied civil service,
in which the titles were certificates Of
success in the most arduous cUmpeti-
tive examinations. Still. according to
him. "the merit system" broke down
in its application to the British peer
age in the reign of Charles |. Since
then Lord has nothing to do "as
such except "tO exist beautifully" As
the lords have all the chances of edu-
cation that England affords, and moth
ing to do but what they may choose
to do, what treasures Of learned les-
ure and research we ought to owe to
them. The career of the Duke of Ar
gyll ought rot to have been an eXcep-
tlon in his order at all, but simply an
Illustration Of the rule. And yet lie
was the only duke in Great Britain
who within living memory has amount
ed to anything. 1t is true that the
Marquis Of Salisbury might have been
duke if he had not regarded his mar.
QuisHte as q prouder title than Il new
dukedom could furnish. And doubt.
less the Marquis of Salisbury amounts
to something. When he was Lord
! Robert Cecil, Bagehot said to him that
hc was the only member Of the Brit.
ish aristocracy who had shown the
capacity Of earning his own living.
This he had bad to do for n season,
and had done it in the character OF
| political writer; ana there is no doubt
that ne would have made n political
success II he had been n cOmmOner.
His existence is fully justified. So is
that of Lord Rosebely, as a public
! speaker and as a writer, If not yet
! fully as q politician. Here are three
! ont OF hyc hundred members Of the
House OF Lords. Perhaps an ordn-
arily wcll.inrormod observer might
manage 10 pick cut half dozen more
lords whu might fairly be called dis
tiEguiahed for something else than be-

bears growing were added the fright
ened lowings Of the cows; the hubbub
was indeed so great that the family
dared not stir forth. When day
dawned Wassell ventuved to approach
the ditch, and then saw that the enc
my's prospects of getting out were
bad. The beast was wallowing in
sticky, black mud; aud although it

NWassell kept at a distance and none
of the women left the house that day,

and. i'm its fury, rush upon them.
Only toward night did Wassell venture
to throw bundles of fodder across the

to cross with water for tlpm, and was
in much perpleXity.
During the night following n little
bear rs large as n pug dog, came 20
the trench, attracted probably by the
roars Of the old one, and either fell
or scrambled down to IT, Wassell saw
it there in the morning, padding about
in the mire.
Either from his religious scruples
against taking life or because he pos
sessed no adequate weapon, the young
settler made no effort to kill the bear;
and during all that day the family re,

made of the stuff that wins, because
hey only demand what is right and

Montana does a finers audience as
semble than in Dillon. The rant of the
fusion demagogues carries no weight in
that town. The voters are all leaders
and thinkers and are fully able to make
distinctions between a logical appeal
to reason and a specious appeal to pre-
judice. The democratic nonsense about
Imperialism and trusts is given scant
recognition in Dillon, where facts and
figures alone have weight. Beaverhead
has always been a republican strong
hold, and though there is much demo-
cratic colonizing there, the republicans
are well organized and no man will
vote unless his right to do so is un-
Geniable.

The Effect On Labor.

The Miner yesterday morning printed
a column of extravagant eulogy about
Judson A. Ferguson for his action in
leaving the labor party in the lurch by
resigning from the labor party ticket.
This eulogy is stated. by the Miner to
come from one of the labor leaders,"
but that paper carefully omits his name.
OF course, no labor leader used such
language. No labor leader is saying a
word in defense of Ferguson. No friend
of labor, leader or follower, indorses
Ferguson's act, and nobody thinks he
retired from the field in the inter-
ests of labor. Ferguson's explanations
are puerile. He knew Joe Toole as we'll
a month ago as he knows him now. The
situation has not changed. Mr.. Fer
guson had the entire confidence of the
labor convention and was cheered to the
echo when he declared that any man
who would cave the party or surrender
to democratic Establishment of any kind
deserved a violent death at the hands OF
the men who had trusted him. The labor
ing men wanted a party of their own.
They had been advised by the great
labor leaders of the nation that all po-
litical power lay in their own hands if
they would only organize and cooperate
and vote for the reforms they needed.
At Helena the start was made and Fer
guson was selected as the most honored
and available men in the ranks, for
HOGAN had haan turned down in the
populist convention by means we'll UNI
derstood. Ferguson accepted the nom1-
nation for governor and made a fiery
| speech which aroused great enthusiasm.
On last Friday night he resigned after
MANY consultations and much cogitation,
and asked his friends to support Hon.
Joseph K. Toole.
