something happened to her one day

Two weeks ago mention was made
In the REPUBLICAN, of the sale of the
John Swarengin farm to II. I. Lang.
maid, of Salem near Boston, Mass.
This Is large farm of 400 acres in
the Big Beaver creek valley-onc Of
the best farms In the county and To-
Gated In one of the richest farming
communities. We have since had q
talk with Mr.. Langmaid, and learn
that he Is going to engage in sheep

bring good returns. considering that
sheep raising is an established indus.
try Of Tancy county and has been
proiitably followed for years by more
than one of our wcll.t0-dO farmers.
Mr.. Langmaid has observed the
methods Of handling sheep In other
states besides Missouri aud has good
ideas on the subject. besides having
the means 10 stock up with the very
best animals and provide suitably for
their care from the beginning.
We understand Mr.. Langmaid has
ordered some twenty bushels of
clover seed through tho agency Of the
firm Of Parrish Il Tolerton. lie has
already put two men at work on the
farm aud us soon as the soil is in con-
diiion, blowing will be commenced
for the purpose OF sowing large clio.
yer meadows. BY this means he will
provide plenty of hay for feeding in
winter, when once the meadows are
established. lie went to his farm
last week aud expects TO soon com.

sheds, barns, etc, for properly shelter

ing the hay.
Mr.. Langmaid has been In cores
pondencc with commission merchants
in ST. Louis, and in about four weeks
expects to make trip to that city
for two or three car loads of sheep
mostly ewes--oi the Shropshire breed,
which he will bring to stock up the
farm. II is his intention TO secure
the best bred animals aud maintain
the nigh standard Of his flock by
proper care and scientific manage.

We are glad to welcome such ar
cnterprising gentleman among us aud
trust that he will be successful TO q
degree that will encourage Others to
take hold Of the wonderful resources
Of Taney county and help make them
render their full measure Of benefit,
to mankind. With the same amount
Of Improvement that has been given
to the older states of the east, ihi,

not only into happy and comfortable

vANIsnIA6 BIRD RACES.
course.

1t is reported that tho hamingo,
the pink curlew, and tho egrei, to-
gcthcr with several other species of
beautiful and valuable birds are van-
ishing so rapidly that within q fow
years they will DO practically extinct.
The warfare Oh these birds has been
waged mos, vigorously, Of course, In
civilized countries. The savage, with
his rude weapons aud his incidence,
can not possibly do as much damage
~ the civilized man with his shot gun
and untiring pursuit not only Of the
birds but OF the dollar.
For some reason or other the hu-
man race Is much addicted 10 that
Improbable habit known as "shut-
ting the stable door after the horse Is
gone" II would havo been com.
parativcly easy manner TO check tho
destruction OF these birds some years
ago; II would be possible even now
TO rescue them from determination
by taking little care; but instead of
that, the hunters will probably bo al
lowed to continue their ravagcs until
any bird more attractive than tho
English sparrow has become mere
tradition. There are some lessons
which can DO learned from cxperi-
encc, but the unfortunate thing is
that the experience does not always
happen twice. IF q mau has climbed
up place where he ought not to be,
and fallen and broken his back, tho
lesson is not OF much value 10 him.,
because no will never climb any,
whcro again. After these birds have
been eXtcrminated and their habitat
rendered unfit for restocking. II will
not be much use to morslizc over the
ruthlcssness and rapacity which
caused their destruction.
Tho measures which ought to be
taken will vary in different places.
In some parts of the country II would
be enough, perhaps, TO impose small
penalty on hunters caught shooting
birds out Of season. In other cases
1t might be necessary to forbid the
shooting Of certain species Of birds at
all. In places where valuable birds
have become extremely scarce II might
be well to follow some system Of
breeding aud artificial protection.
This would employ hunters who are
now the birds most dangerous ell
emies, aud would ins,ill In thcm II
different idea of the value Of the
birds from which they now have.
In fact, many OF these men are simp-
ly and solely pot-hunters. They
shoot birds and animals, but not for
sport, but because they must make a
living. If they could be paid for
taking care of the wild creatures in-
stead of for shooting them, they
would, III many cases, much prefer
that employment.

The Row Renewed.

In a notice of contest which will be
served to the Benton county commits
sloners at Foley tomorrow serious
charges will be made against the man
agement of Foley's end of the recent
county seat fight in Benton county.
Frank 81. Mooers, of Watab, will
charge that the seat removal was ac-
complished by the illegal use of money
on the part Of Foley. He has. it is
said, already signed notice of contest,
to which is attached affidavits setting
up grounds for contest, in which he
charges that the Foley interests spent
S23, 900 to secure the carrying of the
election. Specific instances of bribery
are not charged, but the general state
ment is sworn to that to the best of be-.
lief $4,000 was spent by Foley and
sufficient votes thus secured to give
Foley it's coveted majority of IS per
cent. of the total vote of the county.
Thursday is the last day for the COM
mencement of contest proceedings, ac-
cording to the view of the attorneys
for Mooers, but the notice OF contest
will be served tomorrow. ~. .~.-
The offer Of $4,000 by Foley Bros.
to build new court house at Foley is
also mentioned as grounds for contest,
is being argued that is violation of
the election law. The main fight, how
ever, will be on the first item charged
in the notice of contest, the use of
Sc 600 illegally. = 49,. z
G. W. Martin Of Foley, is in the city
and says that if the contest is bona
fide one and if Sank Rapids has any
hope of winning out on the proposition,
he has nothing to say. He is inclined
however to look upon the matter as a
move to delay the growth and progress
of Foley in general terms with the pre-
vention of the building of the new
court house in particular.-St. Cloud

Sheep in Northeast Minnesota

The owner of an undeveloped farm in
northeastern Minnesota is confronted
with the problem of how: to utilize as
much of the resources at his command
as possible. The chief of these is the
large expanse of wild brush pasture.
Cattle will select the grass and pea
Yifns,ss and will not brouse on leaves to
any extent except when pasture is
scant. But sheep will eat nearly all
kinds of brush as well as weeds, and
will do fairly well on such feed,
although for best results they should
have some grass or other feed. The
closer sheep are confined the more pro-
nounced is the effect of their grazing
upon the brush. Sheep will not kill
brush which stands too high for them
to reach, but when this is slashed
down, they will absolutely prevent it's
sprouting again. Sprouts around the
base of stumps are kept down, wild
growth as ferns, ETC., killed out and in
from two to four years time, depend
ing on the closeness of the pasturing,
such ground can be broken with almost
as much ease as an old field. The
roots will be found to have decayed
very fast, and stumps, especially hard
wood, can be removed much sooner and
cheaper where sheep have worked
around them for two or three years,
than is ordinarily the case. The
labor of caring for sheep is light ex.
cept during lambing, when the flock
requires the closest attention. During
the summer it amounts to almost moth
ing. The profits from sheep accrue
from sale Of wool, and the increase OF
the flock, and from the fact that they
not only utilize feed which would
otherwise be utterly wasted, but in so
doing, do a great amount Of work to-
wards cleaning up the land which
would otherwise have to be done by
hand labor. The drawbacks are cost
of fencing, possible losses from dogs or
wild animals, and with Inexperienced
or careless persons, improper hand
ling, especially in winter, resulting
usually in the loss of the lambs. None
of these objections are such as should
deter any one from going into sheep
raising if he is prepared to give them
the attention necessary to success.
Constant attention to the welfare of
the sheep is as necessary as it is with
any other class of live stock.

Prof. Hicks says that in all proba-
bility the 25th to the 10Th will consti-
tute one of the most severe storm peri
DDS in July. The barometer will prove
a safe monitor at this time If its
readings become greatly depressed in
western sections, with warm southerly
winds in front of the low barometric
area, all storm developments should
be carefully watched. Those who have
no barometers may easily determine
whether the conditions are favorable
for severe storms, and by common
sense vigilance escape all surprise and
danger, in case of tornado and other
violent storms. Heavy gales, thunder,
hail and local downpour of rain may be
looked for from 25th to 10Th. A gem
eral and rapid change to much cooler
weather will take place at that period.
Monday nights accident should prove
warning to the council. This is not
the first time a dangerous hole has
been left without proper protection,
and that no serious accident has occur
red is remarkably good streak of
luck. For several days hole dug for
an electric light pole was left open at
Jacks corner, and though the hole was
practically in the travelled street, no
one ran into it. A damage suit would
cost the village several times the price
of the necessary lantern and oil; even
If the case was won. ss
