Money In sheep.

There is no branch Of the live stock,
industry making such rapid gains as
the sheep business, says The Droyers'
Journal. All kinds Of people out west
are investing In sheep. hoping that the
present good condition will keep up.
People arc naturally attracted to any
business that is making money. regard
less OF whether they know anything
about 1t or not. At the present rate OF
growth 1t looks as If the thing might
be overdone, as 1t has been in the past,
and that those who are looking for
profit and experience might at least get
all of the latter they want Sheep are
prolific and 500 reach maturity. and
even with a good demand for both wool
and mutton there Is a possibility OF
overstocking the demand. There is no
better business than the sheep bust
ness for one who understands 1t, and
there is none that Is fuller of pitfalls
for the novice. Like any other bust
ness. n should learn more about !,
than can be got from books before
branching out too boldly.

aetter GRADE. Demanded.

One Of the greatest evidences OF
progress In the live stock Industry, III
Nebraska, says the Omaha World-Her
aid, is the increased demand for full
blood ind pedigreed breeding stock. 1T
would be difficult to find d district OF
country anywhere that has invested
mor money Or introduced more or fn-
or bred animals into its common herds
than has been done In Nebraska during
the past IL months. These conditions
OF live stock improyementand develop
ment Indicate an Increased value In the
young stock Of the state. which will
make 1900 one of the best seasons for
the breeder OF improved stock that has
Y been experienced In Nebraska.
The present discrimination I'd quality
at the great live stock markets has
taught d lesson TO breeders and deal

Of d better grade of animals.

HAMS AND BACON.

Two Methods of Curing In Use ON the
The North Carolina experiment. sta
ton has issued an Instructive bulletin
on curing hams and bacon. There
are two methods of cnring4on the farm
dry sailing and picking. Dry salt
Ing is mor largely practiced than pic
king. but in our experience we have
been led to prefer the pickling. We
prepare q brine strong enough to float
a potato, and after the meat Is cut and
trimmed 1t Is dropped into this brine
for two or three days to draw out the
blood. 1t Is then taken out, and a fresh
brine is made. or the old brine boiled
and skinned. To the brine we then
add one ounce of saltpeter and a pint
of black molasses for each 100 pounds
of meat. The meat Is then returned to
the brine. the thinner parts being put
to themselves and the hams and Shout
ders in another cask. The thin parts
remain in the brine three weeks and
the hams four or five weeks, care be-
ing taken to keep all under the brine
The meat is then taken out and hung
in the smokehouse or elsewhere to drip
and dry somewhat. It Is then slowly
smoked with corncobs or hickory
wood, the smoke being smothereds
down with green cedar branches, If
they are to be had. The smoking is
continued for several weeks in favor
able cloudy weather until all are well
worked. The hams should have the
upper part of the s~mokehouse. where
the smoke hangs longest. In the early
spring the hams are taken down and
rubbed well all over with a mixture of
molasses$and black pepper. They are
then wrapped in stout paper and put
into cotton bags which are dipped in
whiteWash and r again hung. up.
Some pack them down in chaff. but we
prefer to keep them hanging. They
are at their best for the table or a
ket at a year old, and one who tastes a
year old or older ham cured ! n this
way never wants to taste the sem,

again as long as he lives. Hams of this
kind will bring 10 TOGO cents per
pound when the hams of the west and.
the white hams of III farmers are sell
Ing for 10 cents per pound.

The Mouth 81 4 Young Colt.

There is one thing in particular
which is almost universally lacking in
the United States in the training of
colts, and that is breaking them with
good mouths. says Field and Farm.
It is almost impossible to find a young
horse in the country that has good
mouth. The colts mouths have almost
universally been spoiled in their early
training. I have had some experience
in this matter and IL there is anything
that I detest 1t is a horse with a hard
mouth or aspuller. When we consider
that all our commands. all our wishes
are to be given to the horse through
the reins to its mouth, this evil be-
comes at once apparent. We see, then,
how, necessary it is to keep the mouth
In as tender and sensitive aconditiona as
possible to the touch. This is q uni
versal fault, not only in America, but
in Canada, where there are very good,
horses and very good horsemen.
They know how to avoid this diff
Guilty very much better in England
than here. The system that have
lately adopted in mounting colts is to
put a web halter on the head with a
smooth, easy, good sized wooden bit,
placed well up into the mouth so as to
keep the tongue under the BIT. Accus-
tom them to carry 1t there for a time;
an hour is quite long enough for the
first lesson. Later, as they become ac-
customed to III. drop It down into its
proper place. After that treatment
has gone on for an hour or so every

With regard to Senator McCumber's
bill now before congress for the appoint
ment of a commission to investigate the
Asiatic trade, Bradstreet's, one Of the
leading business publications Of the
country, says:
Atleast one bill is now before congress
calls for the appointment of a commits
sion to study and presumably visit China
and Japan with the aim of examining
the commercial conditions of those coun-
tries and the opportunities for expand
ing our already rapidly growing trade.
with the far east. We believe this, or a
similar measure, a good one within limi-
tations, and in some directions we believe.
the limitations already set may be profit
ably waived. For instance. a bill restrict
ing the commissions work to the two
countries mentioned would be a partial
measure only. Our interests in the.
Philippines would seem to call for a close
examination of the trade conditions of
the other islands of the east, to the end
that valuable points in referenceto the
possible trade Of the new possessions
should not be missed. Then, again, any
investigation which would leave our ex-
banding trade in -four, machinery and
railroad supplies with Russian Asia out
of the reckoning would be in high de-
gree incomplete. 1T may be that the
work viii require more time than ex-
pected or that more than one commits
sion may be sent. That such commits
ssions furnish opportunities for junketing
is probably true; but these are merely
details, details, too, which the executive
will have to- handle and be responsible
for, but there is no good argument there
in to be made against a properly organ
lied commission acting in a businesslike
way and with the good Of the mercantile
community of this country at heart.
Investigation by commission of Asiatic
trade is no new feature. The work Of
the British Commercial mission in China
is of too recent a date to need recapitu-
lation, and it may be recalled that an
American commission representing a
qnasi-public institution visited China
some year or SO ago.

The Chicago Tribune calls attention
Tie fact that the railroads and the
farmers of the western states are get
ting close together in interests, show
ing that the prosperity of the roads is
dependent upon the prosperity OF b
agricultural classes in the west, and
that what benefits the farmers benefits
the roads. The Tribune says:
The great work done by many rail-
roads of recent years in fostering and
directly increasing the prosperity OF
the territory through which the tracks
run is by no mean SO widely known
as it should be. Several roads, for IN.
stance, employ scientific specialists
who are experts in the matter of soil,
drainage, f%ertilizing, and other factors
in modern agriculture. 1t is the duty
of these men to travel along the line
OF the road which employs them, max.
ing a careful study of the soil and other
natural conditions. It they find, for
instance, that the soil in a particular
section is best adaptel to the raising
of sugar beets they visit the farmers
in the neighborhood and invite them
III dtJCnQ lCSIQ1C y a1ACAu SthoPo@a ~
district schoolhouse. Here the sub
iecS Of beet culture is carefully ex-.
planned, the natural advantages which
the surrounding territory possesses for
raising beets is gone into, and on be-
half of Tile railroad company the expert
urges the farmers to undertake the bus
mess, perhaps pledging the company
to find a market for the product. II a
certain district is best fitted for the
dairy business the expert holds a SINH
lar farmers and ~endeavors to interest
the farmers in the establishment Of a
cooperative creamery. In some IN
stances the railroad furnishes, free of
charge, the services of an expert to sup
erintend the building of the creamery
and to manage it for the first month,
r until a regular manager can be Sc
cured. In many other similar ways
the railroads are now doing their part
in putting agriculture on a scientific
basis.
THAT the work has passed far beyond
the status of an experiment is shown
by the fact that one railroad in Mis-
souri, has established no less than ff-
teen cooperative creameries along its
lines, in not one of which does the rail-
road company have any other interest
than in the additional revenues thus
secured for its freight department. In
each case, it also should be stated, the
railroad also guarantees a market for
the product Of these new enterprises.
This 1t is able to do by the aid of its
agents in the large cities.
But the railroads in their new work
do not stop with the farmer. a single
instance may suffice to show how they
also are lending aid and comfort to the
manufacturers along their lines. The
commercial agent of a western road
went to the proprietor Of a flour mil
in a small town and asked him how
many barrels OF -four he was making
daily. He was told that the output
every twenty-four nours was fifty bar,
