Vice President Roosevelt arrived at
Buffalo at lao o'clock Saturday after
noon and went to the residence OF
Ansley Wilcox, where he met some
friends. Then he proceeded TO the
Milburn house where he paid his re-
spects to Mrs. Mckinley and others.
He then returned to the Wilcox house
with cabinet officers and others where
the oath was administered by Federal
Judge Hazen. The ceremony was i'm
pressive and there was no speaking.
Secretary Root said, "Mr. Vice
President, / have been requested to
say on behalf Of the cabinet Of the
late President, at lea t those who are
present in Buffalo, all except two,
that they request for reasons of weight
affecting affairs Of government that
you should proceed to take the consti.

Of the United States"
Roosevelt, coming closer to Secie-
tary Root, said In voice that at first
wavered then finally came deep and
strong, while as II to control his uer-
vousness he held firmly to the lapel Of
his coat with his right hand:

cordance with your request and In this

SHEEP IN COW PASTURE.
They VIII Thrive on Herbnge That
Cattle VIII Not Touch.

While Professor Shaw says that
from 10 to 30 sheep could very well he
kept on every hundred acres on the
farm without costing the owner any
thing for food in winter, we will go
further than that and say that we
think from two to six could be kept for
every cow that is turned to pasture
and that on most farms that we have
seen the cows would find more feed as
a result. They eat many plants which
the cow does not eat, and many of
them are such weeds and bushes as en-
croach upon the pasture unless they
are kept down by hand labor or other
means than the grazing of the cow.
That they enrich the land over which
they roam is too well known to require
any argument. The proverb that "the
hoof of the sheep is golden" is centu-
ries old and is too evidently an allu-
sion to their ability to improve the
soil they travel over to need an ex-
PLANTATION. Cows have no objection TO
feeding over the droppings Of the
sheep. They are so fine and so scatter
ed and so quickly lose their odor that
the growth which is produced by this
fertilizng element is more liable to be
eaten too closely than to be neglected.
When they have been together n
short time, they viii be found to keep
very closely together, the sheep learn
ing to look to the cows as their natural
protectors and the cows as ready to do
battle for them as for their calves. We
would not take a pasture suitable for
GO sheep and add 10 cows to It, for
they would find short picking, but the
pasture that would feed 10 cows must
have been exceptionally well kept from
weeds and bushes if there would not
be feed enough left that the cows had
rejected to feed from 30 to GO sheep
all the pasturagc they would need.

RAISING THRIFTY LAMBS.
Much Depends on Care Given Ewes
During the Winter.

No small part of the success in rails
ing lambs depends upon the care given
the ewes during the winter. 1t is much
easier to grow and fatten a thrifty
lamb that is of good size and vigorous
when dropped than one that has been
stunted before birth and that has to
overcome the weakness If not disease
that 1t may inherit from a parent that
Is weakened either by scanty feeding
or by overfeeding and getting too fat.
Give the eve enough to eat, but let 1t
be of such character as to build up
her frame and that of the young she is
carrying and not to fatten her, says
an experienced sheep raiser For this
purpose we always wanted clover hay
or the best early cut fine hay we had
and supply Of roots, for which pur-
pose we found none that we could pro-
duce easier or cheaper than the fat tur-
nip. and we knew of none that served
our purpose better. We also gave the
ewes n chance to take a run in the field
every day when 1t was not raining or
showing too hard. Thus they were
firm Of flesh, muscular and neither fat
nor lean, and they would supply milk
for the lambs even when they had
twins!
The lambs were dropped strong, and
they gained rapidly. The ewes had a
little grain every day in winter, either
bran or oats, and if we chose to give n
little corn fodder, cut up instead of the
hay, or If we thought our hay was not
quite as good as usual, a little corn
went with the oats or cornmeal with
the bran, say about one-third part. We
used to like to make such change
when there was very cold weather, as
they not only would eat the coarse
fodder better then, but would bear the
more heating grain.

the winter, no protection is offered
from the icy blasts. II summer heat
has parched the pastures, they watch
the dust kicked up by the heels Of the
tramping, hungry cattle, wholly obliv-
ious of the fields OF waving corn that
should yield up their succulence to the
corn knife to tide over the shortage Of
grass. Shelterless and fairly feedess,
these valuable animals are allowed to
shift for themselves, and when they
run down to a condition in which their
former owners would scarcely recog.
nize them there is the conclusion that
Zine stock don't pay; 1t is too tender"
Between the man who pampers and
the man who starves hundreds of valu-
able beasts are yearly ruined. The ped
igreed animal is just like the common
kind, only improved in form, finish, di-
gestive capacity and fattening ability.
1t will not live on less feed than the
scrub. 1t was bred to make more meat
on less food. There is no more reason
for overlooking than for underfeeding.
There Is no necessity for fancy build
ings and an expensive equipment. A
box stall or two for cows about to calve
and some ground feed for the calves
and younger animals should be among
the provisions made, as especial atten-
tion ought to be given to the younger
members Of the herd.
Well cured corn fodder with the un-
husked corn supplied in ample quanti-
ties will carry breeding cattle through
the winter satisfactorily If decent shell
ter Is provided, Straw and little hay
| to vary the ration, few oats, n little
bran, a handful of oil meal now and
| then are helpful. Rational care may
be bestowed on pedigreed cattle mt very
! little expense.
The man who can lay by blue grass
pasture for winter feeding need not
trouble his head If he has cut up his
corn and has good barns or even sheds
open to the south for protection from
winds and storms. The man who has
not the advantage of blue grass for
winter feeding must give little moro
attention to his cattle. If he will grow
plenty of sorghum and cut and cure II
when 1t comes In head, he will find Il
an admirable supplementary feed ta
his corn.
The essential in the care of pedigreed
breeding cattle in the winter time IL
protection from winds and rain and
snow. Then, with an abundance OF
nicely cured corn fodder, either whole
or shredded, and the corn that grows
on it, the herd will thrive. 1t is au
economy under most conditions tC
shred the fodder, but the chief Difficult
ty is not the form, but the lack of food
Cattle will not make growth or fat on
winter winds and ice water. The bes
bred ones will suffer just like the scruI
from such neglect.

FATTENlNG CATTLE.
P1entY of Good Water should lie
Kept In Easy Reach.


The successful feeder knows the val
ne of having good water within easy
reach OF his cattle. When steers are
doing their best they acquire disease
which we may call laziness, and there
fore 1t Is very essential that water be
near at hand at all times. If not, they
will endure the pain of thirst for some
time rather than move about much to
quench 1t.
If water is handy, they will drink
from three to five times daily, while
on the other hand If it is necessary to
slip down steep creek bank and wade
in the mud in order to get to the wa
ter's edge they will drink only once or
twice daily and of course all they can
hold each time. Probably no bad eff
fects would be noticed, yet the best re-
suits are not to be expected when such
conditions exist.
Tanks are used by most stockmen,
and in this way water is brought with
in easy reach of the cattle. Yet during
the winter months it is no Thtle chore
to keep the ice broken so they may
drink when they are thirsty. Besides,
1t is clear to all that an animal cannot
make the best gains when it must push
away the pieces Of ice in order to get a
sip OF the freezing water and after hav-
ing just partially quenched its thirst
stand shlvering in the wind.
Here again the fattening steer will
not drink the required amount of water
to produce the best results, because the
water is too cold, 1t is not palatable

GIVE THE HOG ROOM.
Animals Crowded In Small Pens
Make Poor Pork.

Animals Crowded In Small Pens
Make Poor Pork.
1t Is a mistake to suppose that at any
period Of hogs life, from birth to the
day of slaughter, he is better off with
out exercise. Many, If not most, of our
farmers make rail pens not more than
seven feet square inside measure and
besides the feed trough put in from
four to six hogs. Thus crowded they
cannot lie down even with comfort,
and the continued "scrouging" is all
the exercise they get. Hogs that are
kept in such pens, necessarily filthy
and nearly always muddy, whether it
rains or not, may take on fat rapidly,
but not flesh.
The increase in weight is from n dis
eased condition of the digestive organs
and the organs of elimination which re-
suits In deposits of fat, mingled with
scrofulous tubercles and degenerated
glands. We don't want any such
meat The hog, even up to killing time,
should have plenty of fresh air, eXer-
else and room to keep himself clean,
which he will do If afforded an oppor-
tunity and which he cannot do when
confined in Il narrow cage like Grim
inal The average pigpen is place Of
torture and should be abolished and is
abolished by all intelligent and humane
hog raisers.

WASTE OF CORN FODDER.
Valuable Food That should BE Turn
ed Into Profitable Meat.

Professor Shaw renews his plea for
greater economy upon the western
farm. OF that most palpable and use
nine out of every hundred cornfelds he
says:
The waste of corn fodder in the Mis-
sisslppi valley is a grievous waste. In
the aggregate the uncut corn must
amount to millions and millions of
acres. And one acre in those states
where the season is long grows so
much food! In n recent ride from
Omaha to Kansas City for more than
half n day the train steamed along
through cornfields nearly all of which
were uncut.
There was enough of uncut corn in
this one part of the Missouri valley to
feed hundreds of thousands of cattle
through all the winter. All this valu-
able food will waste, and 1t is only n
fragmentary portion Of the waste that
will take place all up and down the
Mississippi and many Of its tributaries.
The day will come when all this will
change. The day will come when II
must change. At one time the greatest
profit may thus have been obtained by
large holders of land. 1t may be so
still. But surely in those days of high
priced meat and Of shredders more
money could be made by using more OF
this valuable food. The people in those
areas where this practice prevails will
no hard indeed In narsuada 70 change
their ways, the force of habit is so
powerful, but it is change that ought
TO be brought about.

There are many times when lambs
are dropped that are too weak to get
up and suck the eve. If it chances to
be one Of twins. it may be that before
it is found the other and stronger one
will have taken all the milk from the
eve, or the lamb may be so chilled as
not to have the power to suck. We
have saved such lamb when it scarce
ly had life enough to swallow by giving
warm milk a little warmer than it
came from the COW, and If we had it in
the house we would add about a tea
