Sunday Closing.

The most interesting feature of the
ton. An ordinance to regulate the
matter was read the first time, the
rules suspended and read second
time At this point discussion opened
I'D. Mr. j. w. Crawford was present
and he contended that the ordinance
which had been given its second read
ing, and was now before the council
for final action was illegal, because
the Sunday closing was fixed by stat
ute, and that the council could not
repeal a legislative statute by ordi-
nance The aldermen discussed the
matter pro and con. but took no fur
thr action, on the grounds that the
ordinance would be in conflict with
the statutes The ordinance proposed
was as follows:
"An ordinance to he entitled an or
dinance to amend Section 211 OF Hud-
sons digest Of the ordinances of the
city of Pine Bluff
"Be it ordained by the council of the
city Of Pine Bluff that Section 211 OF
Hudson's digest of the city ordinances
OF the city Of Pine Bluff be amended
so as to read as follows:
Section 211-Every person who

ENSlLAGE FOR SHEEP.
1t Is One Of the Cheapest RatiOns,
but ShOnld he Fed Properly.

1t Is One Of the Cheapest RatiOns,
but ShONld be Fed Properly.
The probability is that one of the
ing wethers is good ensilage, and that
the same is even better suited as
food for breeding ewes. Sometimes
the wethers will not appear to relish
it very we'll, especially if it is any way
tainted, but if it is clean and sweet
they will soon learn to eat it with as
much eagerness as they would grass.
1t is seldom, however, that they take
any dislike to the ensilage even at first,
and then not long enough as general
thing to affect materially their prog
ress.
In order to make it a sure success a
great deal depends upon knowing how
to feed the ensilage to sheep. 1t will
not do to expect them to subsist almost
entirely upon ensilage. This has been
proved time and again by experiments.
In fact, ensilage is not intended to
take the place Of all other foods, says
Fred o. Sibley in Ohio Farmer. but
rather that hay and the like are to
be fed in connection with it. Indeed,
if sheep were fed exclusively upon en-
silage the result would be many weak
lambs and some dead ones. Fodder.
therefore, must be given, and also
some grain, and the same is true OF
cows or any other animals fed on en-
silage.
An excellent mixture for wethers
consists in giving them a daily allow
ance Of ensilage, cut corn fodder and
some whole grain. This, OF course,
can be divided to suit the feeder. but
a fair proportion between the ensilage
and dry fodder should be observed
Treated thus the animals will ia

FLOODING THE MARKET,
how Cattle Growers FOolishly Force
Down Prices.

how Cattle Growers FOolishly Force
Down Prices.
One year ago last July the entire
corn belt suffered from drought so
severe that holders of cattle were COM
PEELED to ship them to market or lose
them. Receipts at all the leading mar
ket points then swelled to the record
height for the time of year, and it was
freely predicted by well posted men
that supplies would run short until an
other crop of calves had been raised
there is the most abundant heritage In
all the grain growing states that the
oldest inhabitant can remember, and
yet feeders are pouring their cattle
into the trading points in numbers
nearly il not quite equal to those
marked ON the boards during the dry
time.
A status akin to panic obtains among
the fatteners Of beef, says Breeders
Gazette. On Monday, Nov. 10, cattle
on the hoof were worth in Chicago
from 81 to $3.50 per hundredweight
less than they were sixty to eighty
days ago, and yet the receipts that day
totaled nearly 81 900 head, on Tuesday,
Nov. II. upward Of 1880 head and on
Wednesday around $4,000 head. The
natural result of such enormous deliv-
cries on an already overloaded market
was to send prices swiftly down, and
in the opinion of some of the leading
men of the yards it would have taken
a bunch of genuine Christmas cattle to
have landed at $40, whereas it is not
SO long ago that 8 cents a pound was
paid for several droves that were not
Of the strictly prime Christmas sort.
In statement sent out from the I'm
ion stockyards in Chicago the follow
ing occurs:
"Good judges feel sure that cattle
prices during the next six weeks will
be forced to the lowest level that will
be seen during the Eext twelve
months"
There is good reason for this predic-
ton. The country is full of cattle on
feed. Shipments Of feeders from all
the important roints.- Chicago. Omaha

record breaking order, and there is an
immense amount of soft and damaged
corn In the grain states that must be

ers of feeding steers. it is plain that to
overload the trade further is to help
prices down the hill.

rapidly and. as far as all observations
are concerned, remain in perfect health.
Taking into consideration the cheap
ness of this ration, a comparison to it
is not easy to find which will give the
same beneficial results.
AS to the exact amount of ensilage
required by the animals each day,
much depends upon the quantity of
other food fed them. High grade sheep,
however, should not be given a great
deal more nor less than between two
and three pounds of ensiiage per day.
In connection with this they should
also have one pound of hay day; if
grains are fed, the hay and ensilage
may be reduced in even moderate
quantities corresponding to the amount
of grain given.
Hay and ensilage will fatten and
keep the animals in fine health, but
grains of some kind are required to
keep the animals strong and insure a
good litter of lambs Bran and oats
are the best grains to feed with en-
silage and hay.
In case special pains are being taken
to develop and properly fatten ewes or
high grade sheep an excellent ration
consists Of about two pounds of en-
silage, one pound of hay and half a
pound of bran or oats daily.
This ration in fact should always be
| fed to ewes just before Landing time,
for then the young will be sure to come
out in splendid condition. Aside from
strengthening the ewes the ensilage
has a good effect on the flow of their
milk after lambing

mend the following method: 10 one

of the rope above SO that the bag Of
straw will just reach his heels; now
tie piece of rope to the bag and hold
it in your hand and stand about ten
feet away from the horse; now allow
the bag to bump his heels. The horse
will kick the bag until he has discov-
cred that it will not hurt him. This
treatment will usually cure a horse of
