AUSTRALIAN BALLOT TININERING
republican Legislature Left the Law
as Originally Adopted.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. p
Pierre, S. D., April 16-One of the
amusing features of he opening OF the
present campaign is the protest made bv
the fusion elements at the 'partizan ac-
ZION OF the last legislature" in passing an
act which was intended to weaken the
anti-republican forces by preventing fu-
sion through two identical tickets on the
ballot
The amusing feature is the fact that by
such an act the Australian ballot system
was put back on the same basis it stood
when first adopted as the ballot system
OF the state. The provisions which al
lowed fusion were incorporated on the
election law by populist legislature. and
Tor the express purpose to allow fusion
and STRENGTHENING of the anti-republi-
can forces of the state
1t was departure from the provisions
OF the law as intended and only engrafted
as a partizan necessity, and now that It
mas peen wiped out a mournful wall
comes from those for whose benefit 1t was
passed.

Estebe & Ardaitz. sheep men. who
were working south with large band
Of fat wethers from San Joaquin coun-
ty, arrived at Berenda Sunday and
rented a piece of barley stubble.
There were many heads of barley
which had fallen to the ground, and
the sheep had great feast, with dis
astrous results to them. 1t is esti-
mated that between GOO and 500 sheep
died in one day. The owners expect
500 or 400 more to die. II. A. Buchan-
an hired a number of men to skin the
dead animals, so that the pelts might
be saved. Sheep men state that bar
ley has often been known to Gill
sheep, as it ferments, especially after
it has been wet by the rains. The
rains caused many barley heads to
drop, and they could not be cut. There
was considerable of this among the
stubble, and the sheep gathered it up,
with the result above noted.-Madcra
Mercury, California.
The Jennings daily record. [volume] (Jennings, La.) 1900-1903, 1902-03-03

From the Farmers Review: That
sheep act as scavengers IL one great
argument in favor OF having a flock
on every farm. They assist in clear
ing the farm OF weeds, sprouts. etc..
utilizing these intruders as food to
grow mutton and wool. It is true that
sheep will aid very materially in Grad
icating noxious plants. But to have
the sheep do this cleansing work, and
at the same time yield a handsome
profit from wool and mutton, is q Diff
fcult problem. To starve any animal
in order to force it to eat that which
is distasteful to it, is almost always a
losing game, and it would be better
economy to hire man to cut the
weeds with scythe and hoe. If the
sheep can be SO managed that they
will eat the weeds willingly, without
detriment to themselves, they will, OF
course, act as double wage-earners,
and the practice will indicate good
farming.
To do this successfully requires ex-
perience in handling sheep, and a
knowledge of their peculiar habits. A
lack of this experience and this
knowledge has caused many a farm
er's flock to dwindle away until the
owner would become Disguised and
dispose of the few remaining because
he could have no luck with sheep"
Sheep enjoy frequent changes from
one field to another, and it is quite
noticeable that when turned from
good pasture into another field con-
tanning weeds, they will run through
the new field, biting Off the leaves and
nibbiing the weeds and buds with as
much relish as they ate the grasS.
They, however, soon tire Of this diet
If this rowing nature of the sheep II
catered to, many weeds may be de-
stroyed. In the fall and winter. after
pasture is gone, sheep, well-fed On dry
feed, will run over the fields Gazing
buck plantain. briars, and bush buds
with great relish, and to their mate
rial benefit. At this time Of the year
the sheep may be seen biting the bulb
of the buck plantain that has been
raised in the ground by the freezing
and thawing, and nibbling the green
leaves of this hardy plant. These win
ter :aids give the breeding ewes the
needed exercise, and prepare them for
Landing and for furnishing their
young with nourishing milk immedi-
ately after birth.-W. B. Anderson.

Chicago pOnitrN Show.

The Chicago Poultry Show was held
last week and was great success. The
number of entries was very large and
the fowls entered We're of high quality.
The show was so big that it was not
containable in the Coliseum and a
building on the south of it had to be
utilized. 1t was in fact five great shows
in one. comprising farm fowls, pigeons,
rabbits. dogs and cats. All of these
classes Of animals were represented by
numerous and excellent specimens.
The attendance was good, and certain
ly those who attended got the worth of
their money, if they had any interest
at all in any of the lines mentioned
AS a means of education, the Chicago
show is most certainly success. and
the men that have brought it up to the
present point of excellence deserve
great praise for the hard work they
have done. We hope to have more to
say on the show in future issue.

Combating Weeds.

l.. H. Bailey, in the Principles OF
Vegetable Gardening, says:
There is no royal road to NEEDLESS
farming. Following are some Of the
means OF keeping weeds in check:
l. Practice rotation; keep ahead OF
the weeds. Certain weeds follow GER
tain crops, when these weeds become
serious, change the crop.
2. Change the method Of tillage. II
a weed persists, try deeper or shall
lower blowing. or a different kind of
harrow or cultivator. or till at differ
ent times and seasons.
8. Harrow the land frequently when
it is in fallow, or is waiting for crop.
Harrow it, if possible, after seeding,
and before the plants are high enough
to be broken by the implement. Pota-
toes, corn, and other things can be
narrowed after they are several inches
high; and sometimes the land may
be narrowed before the plants are up.
4, Practice frequent tillage with
light surface working tools, through
out the season. This is hard on
weeds, and does the crop good.
5. Pull or hoe out stray weeds that
escape the wheel tools.
6. Clean the land as soon as the
crop is harvested; and If the land
lies open in the fall, till it occasion
ally. Many persons keep their prem
ises scrupulously clean in the early
season, but let them run wild late In
the fall, and thus is the land seeded
for the following year.
Z. Use clean seed, particularly OF
crops that are sown broadcast, and
which, therefore, do not admit OF till
age.
8. Do not let the weeds go to seed
on the manure piles. in the fence cor
ners, and along the highway.
8. Avoid coarse and raw stable ma
nure, particularly If it Is suspected of
harboring bad company. Commercial
fertilizers may be used for a time on
foul land.
10. Sheep and pigs sometimes can
be employed to clean the weeds from
foul and fallow land. Land infested
with Jerusalem artichokes is readily
cleaned if hogs are turned in.
II. Induce your neighbor to keep
his land as clean as you keep yours.
Rank pigweeds and their ilk are q
compliment to a mans soil. Land
that will not grow weeds will not
grow crops, for crops are only those
particular kinds Of weeds man
wants to raise. Weeds have taught us
the lesson of good tillage. There Ia
no indication that they intend to re-
nit their efforts in our behalf.
