Food Affects the Wool.

Deep pastures or lowlands are not
conducive to the health of sheep, as
they prefer upland pastures and a
great variety of grasses. It is known
that the quality of the food and the
pasture has more influence on the
wool than does climate. Fat sheep
produce heavier and coarser feeccs
than do those that are poorer in flesh.
That the food is an important factor
in affecting the quality of wool is
shown by the fact that when fine wool
sheep have been taken from the east
to the west the fneness is not always
retained, although the sheep will
gradually become larger and the
fleeces heavier.

The First Hundred Pounds.

The first pound, or 100 pounds, of
mutton, beef or pork is where the
profit is made, as the young animals
grow and gain rapidly. The greater
the weight an animal can be made to
attain in the shortest period of time
the smaller the cost per pound proper
tionately. 1t requires no more labor
to feed and care for steer weighing
1000 pounds than for one weighing
much less. The cost of production
does not depend solely upon the
amount of food consumed, but upon
the food, shelter and labor

I'M Story 4 ! ) : kllk
OUR LITTLE GENERAL.

See our little general pacing
Up and down the parlor floor.
Every danger proudly facing,
In his panoply of war;
Plume and banner waving DER him,
Sword and bugle shining bright,
Drum to beat the charge before him
When he marches to the fight!
oh! our laddie's eyes are blue
And his heart is stout and true,
And his little flag is CALAMITY unfurled;
You may search both east and west,
But our darling is the best.
And the bravest little general In the
world!
When he stormed the three-legged table
With his nursery brigade,
Not single foe was able
To withstand the fusilade;
For our general gaily shouted:
ITO the breach my men, and win!'
And the enemy was routed
Ere the conflict could begin.
Oh, our laddie's curls are gold,
And his laugh is blithe and bold.
AS he leads his little troops with flag
unfurled;
You may search both east and west,
He's the bravest and the best
And the dearest little general in the
world!
When our little lad is listed
For the fierce and bitter strife,
With the wrongs to be resisted
On the battlefield of life,
There's a Leader who will guide him
Through the perils of the day,
And will ever stand beside him
Till he conquers in the fray.
Oh! the battle may be long,
And the foemen may be strong,
But the laddie's colors never will be
furled;
You may search both east and west,
But our soldier-lads the best
And the dearest little general in the
world!

Carnegie Says Combinations Will
Prove Beneficial.

London, March 21.-To an English in
terviewer, after his arrival in London, Mr..
Carnegie talked freely concerning the
United States steel corporation. which he
thought would not affect Great Britain
much one way or the other.
I think there is no fear, said Mr.. Car
negie. that the corporations surplus
stock viii be sold abroad at less than
cost, or that the corporation hopes to
slaughter the steel trade of Great Brit
ain.
Asked whether the existence of trusts
did not tend toward national bankruptcy
or whether they might not prove step
in an evolution tOwkrd socialism. Mr.
Carnegie said:
The man behind the trusts is Just as
important as ever. Consultations are
the tendency of our age and will prove
beneficial The chances of Andrew Car

Lincoln, Neb., March 21.-The Repub-

with apparently no solution of the
deadlock. Balloting began shortly af-
ter o'clock, with no change from last
night except that Edward Rosewater
gained two votes, one each. seemingly,
from Mei6lejohn and Currie. The IL
o'clock ballot resulted: Rosewater, "a;
Meiklejohn. IA; Currie, Z. Necessary to

The day brought no material change
in the short-term situation, except to
slightly enhance the chances of election
of d. f. Thompson, the caucus nom
inee. Mr.. Thompson found two new
running his vote UP to f1fty-eight
votes, but six short of an election.
Added to this We're kilograms to anti
Thompson men from Chairman Hanna
of the. Republican national committee,
urging members who are holding out
to abide by the caucus decision One
of the messages sent to the anti
Thompson forces is as follows:
Hon. J. A. Whitmore-The friends
of the administration here are deeply
concerned about senatorial deadlock in
your state, and we ask your influence
to secure settlement on caucus recon-
mendation by national committee.

fact that Mr. Thompson is the regular
