Fed aFew Sheep.

Samuel Glove has just got returns
from 740 yearliAg wethers which he
fed and sent to the Chicago market.
They weighed g pounds each and
brought $6.3o.s Before being sold
they we're shearsd, and the average
wool clip was bounds, which sold
for 49, cents, or p4 cents per head for
the wool. Adding this to the price
Of the fat sheep which sold on the
market for $3.50, and Mr.. Glover
realized $6.42 each for the three car
loads, or 4,75o.so for the bunch
For raising and selling sheep at one
year old this is mixing pretty good
money for a Nortl Dakota farmer.

SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION.

Superintendent Deyine Issues General Cir
'cuIar on the Matter of Consolidation.
State supehndent j. NJ. Devine
has prepared a circular letter cover
ing the mattefof consolidation of
rural schools. fbr distribution among
the school boards and directors of
the state, to CONVEY the departments
ideas and inforn nation on the subject.
Consolidation has become so inter !
esting topic il school circles of the
state recently, sthat the correspon
dence of the department on this sub
ject is too volum minous to handle sep
arately, and hence the circular has
been prepared, dealing with all
phases of the question and intended
to throw light on the question from
all sources. Mr.. Devine states that
the matter Decentralization has been
discussed at teachers meetings in all
parts of the state and at school di-
rectors meetings and is everywhere
received with favor. The only hitch
in the matter is the question of ex-
pense, and while the department is
not in position to state just what the
expense of hauling the children to
and from the consolidated school will
be, attention is called to the fact that
last year the number of school chill
dren in thesstate was over $1,000 and
the average attendance in all the
schools was little over half tn at
number, showing that large num-
, ber of school children failed to at
: tend school, many of them for the
reason thatS the distance to schools
was so great, and weather condition s
frequently Ssuch that the children
could not attend school. This fall
ing off in attendance was largely ir
the country districts, and it is point
! ed out thai with means of convey

schools would do nearly twice tn

FEEDING STOCK:
II j. Nichols gives an Ac-
count of his Cattle
Feeding.
Samuel Glover Makes a
Winning ON Feeding
Young Sheep.

The DroversI journal has received
inquiries concerning the feeding
value of millet seed for cattle and
has found 1t rather difficult to refer
to good authenticated instances.
When Mr.. Nichols commission man
informed theSDrovers Journal of this
bunch of cattle that were millet fat
tened we at once wrote for particu-
lars, and the following letter is the
result. There are some feeders To-
Gated in milet growing sections that
are interested in this work, and this
feeding test will appeal to them.
The results attained are very good.
1t will be noted that our correspon-
dent refersSto the two difficulties that
handicapped the feeding. Undoubt-
edly without these the results would
have beenS better. Even as it was
the steers made gain OF little over
two pounds day during the l49
days through which they were fed
In addition the commission man who
sold the cattle complained that they
we're on tie road nearly twenty-four
hours longer than they should have
been on account of being delayed by
vreck.-Droyers journal, Chicago,
Mr.. Nichols letter to the Chicago
paper is as follows:

siderable satisfaction to know thai

Which is the Better Way?

Two years ago our township, Riv-
erdale, levied a five mill road tax that
would have brought Us in from the
railroads, $3.50 II paid into the treas
ury. But theyaet out the contract to
parties for fftyscents on the dollar,
and the township did not get but
about forty -fvesloads Of gravel and
about mile aid half Of fire break.
Now let us do some figuring:

On levy of mills this will bring. .$357. IS

Loss to the township. ........... $3O5.3s
This $3O5.39 is the amount the
township treasury was beat out of, OF
the greater portion OF all the tax.
Last year we levied two mills of E
civil township lax, and that brough
us into the township $277, of which
the railroads paid us, and it came il
so there was no fifty cents on tn
;. dollar. {
Now we get $145.s7 cash from tn
railroads on levy OF two mills civi
township tax, and only got $45 OF s5
in work on levy of five mills roa'
tax Now which is the best?

A Long Step Forward.
presbyterian Standard.)

We are glad to see the stand taken
by such an influential paper as the News
and Observer, of Raleigh and substantially
the same position taken by Senator SIM
mons, with regard to the abolition OF
whiskey distilleries outside OF the lncor-
rorated towns that choose to license
them. That will be a long step forward.
With regard to the further proposition
to leave the people of each incorpora-
ted town the right to say whether IL
wants the saloon, the dispensary or pro-
hibition, we are in favor of 1t, provided
the word county be substituted for city.
Frequently the city is a source of temp
tation and corruption to young men and
others easily influenced, in the whole sur
rounding section, and the country peo-
pie, living in the county which holds
right to help in abolishing a nuisance
that affects the country as well as the
town. And with the growth of this gen
uine temperance sentiment in North Caro-
lima, we look for the time when the ma
jority in the State will be SO overWhelm-
ingly large againt the saloon, that the
State itself will forbid any town, incor-
Generalization for other communities.
1t has been adequately settled that the
State has full police power in this re-
gard and local preferences will have to
give way finally for the gneral good.
