Senator Spooner expressed a feeling,
which he by no means monopolizes, when
he said at Lancaster, Wis, the other day
that If we could elect a good strong re-
publican president like Theodore Roose-
welt, and. strong republican
senate and house for term of
twenty years it would be better for the
country. And yet, the feeling is not born
of the best Judgment. Theodore Roose-
welt might hold out twenty years, and a
republican house and senate might be
elected which would respond to the wishes
Of the people for that length Of time, and
yet the danger that a president elected
for twenty years, and a congress endowed
with the same term of official tenure
would fail to respond promptly and heart
lily to the wishes and sentiments Of the
country is too great to commend such a
change. The two-year term brings the
political upheaval around too frequently,
but twenty years, would not be often
enough. Public officials and political par
ties need to give an accounting oftener
than that.

Democrats have claimed that there

board of control issue. 1t is hard to see
how Governor Van SAINT is going to suffer
on that score, but even If the board of

what good will it do him to vote for Ros-

suggests that it needs amending. The
general report from institution towns Is
that there is no serious disaffection, and

VIII Indorse w. 3. DOUGLAS.


There is every Indication that the re-
publican state ticket will be elected with
| the usual 10000 majority, with the excep-
ton of governor. The democrats center
| ing their whole fight and spending all
| their money on Rosing will cause Governor
| Van SAINT to run somewhat behind his
colleagues, but not so much as in former
| campaigns.
Attorney General Douglas also has the
enmity Of the railroad interests, but he is
in no danger from it, and will get a plu-
rality equal to 1898 or 1900. His efficiency
| IN office is generally recognized. His
opinions have generally been susta ined,
| and his record in the supreme court of the
United States is hard to match. He has
handled fifteen cases before that tribunal,
and only lost one of them. That was the
case involving the Anderson tax law, and
| while the state lost that case, it gained a
tremendously important point when the
court held that the state had power to
raise the rate of taxation. That gave the
highest legal sanction to the gross earn
ings bill, now before the people for pas
| sage. The question then at issue, of tax
ing the unused lands of railroads, has
been settled by the railroads themselves,
who have disposed Of practically all their
land except that actually in use.

follows:
Railroad wreck prevents my presence
at meeting to-day. Please say to as
sembled republicans that I earnestly re-
quest every man to stand by the whole

1T was my intention to plead earnestly
for active support of G. r. Davis, our

Dorsets and shropshires.

Dorsets will drop two sets of lambs
a year very often if permitted TO do so,
says Joseph Il. Wing in The Breeders
Gazette. 1t is not generally a good
practice. One crop dropped at the
right season from ewes strong and full
OF milk is most profitable. The first
cross of ewes from Dorset sire will
generally lamb in the fall. Very inter-
esting trials were made by the Wiscon-
sin experiment station to test this
point
Comparing Shropshires and Dorsets
is hardly fair TO either The Dorset is
a special purpose breed, devoted to the
early lamb business. 1t distances all
competition i'm this field. The Shrop-
shire Is generally a better wooled
sheep. One is as hardy as the other
so far as l can see. Nor can l say
which is the larger, as that would need
u knowledge of great many average
weights, which, so far as l know, have
never been gathered. The Dorset Is
perhaps trifie the larger sheep. If
the lambs are to be grown and fed off
at 10 or II months, the Shropshire has
the advantage.

SHEEP ON THE FARM.
with n Little Care They Are n

With Little Care They Are n
Source of Profit.
OF all domestic animals sheep are
the greatest fertilizers, the best scaven-
gers and the easiest kept with the
least expense of any live stock on the
farm, says w. Watson In Wool Mar
kets and Sheep. My own experience
has taught me that they are not only
the farmers relief from hard work.
but that they will pay for all the care
and all the feed that are given them In
the way of manure.
There can be found on almost every
farm in the land some rough and hilly
ground that is not producing as 1t
should, and all that land could in a
short time be made as valuable as the
rest by the pasturing and feeding Of
few sheep thereon, for they will seek
the highest points, and there they
will scatter their manure better and
eveDer than can be done In any other
way. 1t Is my opinion that farm
can maintain a flock of sheep, say one
sheep to every two acres, at compare
lively no cost whatever, and they will
bring him from SO to So per head each
year. so that on every farm Of 100
acres so sheep can be kept, and they
will pay in manure for every bit Of
feed and all the care, and the farmer
is ahead from $50 to $500 each year.
l believe the worst trouble expert
enced by many shepherds is the feed
ing Of corn to their sheep. Corn
under any circumstances. The best
and cheapest feed is bran and oats
mixed equal parts with good clover
hay or corn fodder. Good shelter from
storms should not be neglected. They
must also have good water to drink,
for that is as necessary as feed.
