SOME SHEEP NOTES.

Sheep husbandry will always be
regarded as one of the great indus
tries which are at once an incident
and leading factor in the prosperity
of every civilized country.
Admitting that fat sheep are the
most tempting to butchers and deal.
ers, the man who owns the sheep is
the man who should determine when
he should sell and what he will sell.
Grain, when used in reasonable
quantities, is all right, but many
good lambs growth has been ruined
and many mature sheep killed
through ignorance of the proper use
of same.
Don't for moment think of
breeding from ram deficient back of
the shoulders. We get very large
per cent. of lambs defective at that
point even when sired by symmetri-
cal animals.
BE very careful in selecting yonr
lambs for exhibition purposes. Don't
select those with the least flaw be-
hind the shoulder. Some shepherds
will tell you that lamb that is slack
behind the shoulder will fill up there
as he grows. Observant shepherds do
not take this view, however
The flock of sheep will not only
pay for themselves directly in their
wool and mutton but they will indi-
rectly benefit the land and crops.
They are OF inestima BILE value in the
clover and grass pastures, and even
in the orchard where their little feet
will press down the grass roots SO the
soil will cling better to them.
The man VINO labors to improve
the sheep and its fleece, so as to bet
ter fit it to mcet the requirements Of
mankind, is of the most beneficent
character, for Il means cheap food
and clothing for the masses, and Of
the best quality. While therefore,
the breeder is striving to better his
own condition, he is comforting
lasting benefit upon the country at
large.

JOHNSON AT WORK AGAIN.

Racine, Wis, July 22nd.-John john
son, of No. 924 Hamilton Street, this
city, is happy man.
For years he has suffered with Kid
ney and Urinary trouble. He was so
broken down that he was forced to
quit work. Everything he tried failed,
till friend of his recommended new
remedy-Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr..
Johnson used them, and the result sur
prised him. He is well as ever he was,
completely cured, and working away
every day.
His case is regarded by those who
knew how very bad he was, as almost
a miracle, and Dodd's Kidney Pills are
a much talked of medicine.

Senator Tillman wants the people OF
South Carolina to believe that Senator
MeLaurin is not a Democrat. AS an ex-
cuse for resigning his position as Senator
he said that he wanted it definitely set
tied whether South Carolina was to have
two Democrats or two Republicans in the
Senate.
And yet there are as good Democrats
as Senator Tillman is who say that Sen
ator McLaurin is a Democrat. In an in
terview in Washington, Immediately after
the two South Carolina senators had re-
signed, Senator Morgan was quoted as
saying:
Both men are good Democrats. I have
no reason to doubt either man, and con-
slider Senator McLaurin one of the ablest
men in the Senate. He is young, he is
modest but he is very able. | cannot
think of one instance where McLaurin
has had his Democracy challenged. One
may vote for or against subsidies-but all
Democrats in the Senate vote for sub
sidy at one time or another and in one
way or another-and still be a true DEM
ocrat l consider the man progressive
who faces each and every public question
as it comes up and tries to solve 1t Tor
himself. Yet, we have our stereotyped
Democrats There is an opportunity to
honor the man who, dtsagreeing With botn
the platform and the nominee OF his
party does not step over into the ranks
of the other party, but prefers to let the
issue pass-takes to seclusion and waits
but does not desert his party. L think
there are many such Democrats In this
country to-day, and we shall not misjudge
them. Therefore, no one can say that this
man is not a good Democrat or that man
is not because he may vote for or against
some bill in the United States Senate or
IN the lower house which may appear 10
involve directly the Democratic or Re
publican principles.
"a voted for the treaty of Paris not
because Mr.. Bryan was on hand working
for it, but because 1 thought it my duty;
talked and argued against the ship sub
sidy bill because / thought 1T outrageous
and an imposition, but as I spoke against
it the Cotton Growers Association of the
South passed a resolution favoring it..
That shows there is a diversity of views
of this question in the South as we'll as
in the North. do not think that Senator
McLaurin's Democracy can be safely
challenged"
No one will question the Democracy Of
Senator Morgan. If that distinguished
Democrat thinks Senator McLaurin is
worthy of a place in the Democratic
party Senator Tillman is likely to have
but few sympathizers when he calls him
a Republican. In fact, it is probable that
in South Carolina, Notwithstanding Sem
ator Tillman's desire to play the part of
dictator and read out of the party those
who are not willing to follow him in all
things, Senator McLaurin'S Democracy
win pass muster.

Her Majesty asked if 1t was true that he
had so large number of helpers, and on
being assured that 1t was so, she asked
whether it would not be wise to discharge
three curetes and marry. But the vicar
had evidently turned the matter over in
his mind, and replied: ''Wen, madam, If

a decoration ON him, and in 1894 sent him

His father was one of those blunt honest

the chinks. Well, the old man wouldn't
have enjoyed it anyhow, for he was used
to plain, substantial cooking, and sup
per of little cakes, ice cream, one GRO
quet, a dab of salad and glass of frappe
would floor him. When he had suppers
there would be big dish of BIRDS hot
biscuit, pickles and preserves, coffee, old
style chicken salad and hot punch aft

came down home and asked him to give
his wife a chiffonier pronouncing it

An old newspaper man who used to
work on the paper that sent Sir Henry

It may turn out that the action Of the
Cuban Constitutional Convention in re-
spect 20 the Plat amendment is not en-
tirely satisfactory to the government At
Washington. The majority by which 1t
was adopted was only one, and the infer-
ence Is that it would have been defeated
If it had not been accompanied by Sec
rotary Roots explanation of its meaning.
This explana ton was not of course writ
ten by Secretary Root or Gov. Gen
Wood. If it had been there would be no
doubt as to its nature. 1t seems, how
ever. that up to Wednesday night no in
formation had been received in WASH
ington as to the text of the explanation.
It may turn out that Secretary Root has
been put in a position he cannot consent
to occupy. He certainly would not per-
NIT the Cubans to rest under misun-
Outstanding that would be certain to be
the cause of trouble in the near future.
1t IS understood that when the commit
tee appointed by the Constitutional Con-
vention was in Washington Secretary
Root, acting as spokesman for the Pres
ident, explained in a general way the pau
amendment which seemed to satisfy the
committee, and led the majority of it to-
form the opinion that with such an ex-
PLANTATION the Constitutional Convention
would adopt the amendment. If the ex-
PLANTATION that accompanied the amend
ment is the one that Secretary Root gave
to the committee it will be satisfactory
to the President and to Congress, but if
it has been materially changed for the
purpose of getting the amendment adopt
ed or by any misunderstanding. 1t is
probable that the convention will be ask
ed to do its work over again. In that
event there may be delays and even Sc
rious complications. 1t is evident that
the radicals are determined to take adj
vantage Of every chance that offers to
prevent any arrangement with the United
States that seems to limit in the least the
independence of Cuba.

LOGICAL CANDIDATES.

There seems to be several logical
candidates for the Republican nominal
ton for Presidential least their friends
are calling them logical candidates.
Senator Foraker is called such a can
didate because his name is mentioned in
the decisions in the Porto Rican cases.
He was the author of the Porto Rican
tariff act, which bears his name, and
which, 1t seems, gave the Supreme Court
a chance to say that the constitution
does not necessarily follow the flag.
Senator Foraker is ambitious. and his
friends are doing what they can to bring
him before the country as the successor
of Mr.. Mckinley. They DO not seem to
take into account the probability that
the next President will be Democrat
Another logical" candidate is Senator
Fairbanks OF Indiana. Why he is called
a logical" candidate does not appear
His admirers in Indiana have announced
his candidacy, and declare that his state
will send a solid delegation to the Re-
publican National Convention for him.
The convention is so far off that 1t is
not an improbabality that he will be for
gotten before It assemblies. As things look
at present It is better to be Mark Hanna's
candidate, the same being the candidate
of the trusts, than TO be the 'Iogicar'
candidate.
