A British Impression.

An interesting English view OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt is contributed TO the
Cornhill Magazine by IL. w. Lucy, VINO
describes n visit he made at the White
House. Mr.. Lucy found the president
talking with "a small group of states
men and travellers, aud he says:
The rough rider III whom foreign
nations have come TO recognize "A states
man Of highest rank disclosed the
scholar versed alike in nc.en ana
modern literature. In its variety, grasp
of subject, our-of tlte-way knowledge
and lts evidence of marvellous memory
the table talk of the president reminds
me more of MIR. Gladstoue's than of any
man 1 have known"
This is 80 different from the popular
idea of Roosevelt that it illustrates well
the many sided nature of the presidents
character. We are All acquainted with
Roosevelt the man of action. we
recognize in lam Ii wise, sane statesman.
In a lie Is KNOWN as Il master Oh
vigorous, direct English. We are not
accustomed To tlIuk of him as an ency-
clopedIa OF marvellous memory or TO
compare him with d" deep scholar like
Gladstone. The uew taken by this
English traveller throws u most inter
estilg light on the occupant OF the
White House.
The man who is successful in what
ever lie undertakes has IA genuine claim
to greatness. Roosevelt the ranchel
the civil service refOrmer, the rough
rider, the historian, the scholar and the
statesman, presents a many-slded inquire
that gains by "a greater perspective.

HOGS AND THEIR CARE.

1t is a fact that has been widely
commented upon that with swine
raised in the corn belt the constant
tendency is toward too great fine
ness of bone and general weakness
of the muscular system, which is
caused by the excessive feeding OF
corn for many generations.
Barb wire is very poor material for
a hog fence. 1t can hardly be made
close enough or strong enough to pre-
vent a shoat from crawling through.
A board fence makes perhaps the
most secure Enclosure for hogs, but it's
expense precludes it's use generally,
except for yards and pens.
All purchased hogs should be quar-
antined after arriving at the farm till
all danger of contagion is past.
The pen and yard for the boar
should be separate from the rest OF
the herd AMI out of sight of it.
In laying the foundation for a herd
of swine it is better to have one good
SOW than several poor ones.
After the framework of the boar has
reached the desired size the animal
should receive only enough feed t.
keep him in good condition.

In Butte, Mont, there is a gambling
house where the patronage of ladies
is the special feature of the manage
ment, and where all kinds of women
play the good old game of faro, perfectly
at home and without fear Of interrupt
ton. The entrance is from an alley near
Broadway. ard the house is luxuriously
furnished. Carpets are laid on the
floors, softened lights shine over the
players, courteous attendants deal and
shuttle the cards and pay bets or take
winnings without the slightest sugges-
ton of the incongruity of the situation,
says the Denver Republican.
Here many fashionably gowned wom-
en- of Butte's elite come in parties or in
pairs with escorts, to quietly venture sill

their husbands. who busy themselves in
Butte's continuous political war.
Women of the business world keep
track of the game, and both dealer and
player usually maintain a rigid silence.

simple word, five" or ''ten, "and con-
yersation is economical to minimum.

SHEEP BENEFIT PASTURES.
They Are Great discriminatory Of
Weeds and Stimulate Rich
Growth Of Grass.

We are convinced that the addition
OF five or six head of sheep for each
COW will tend to increase the produce
|. tiveness of very weedy pasture, near
ly if not quite to the extent of the
amount consumed by the sheep. After
a few years, when the weeds have been
exterminated, the relative number Of
COWS may be increased, but of course
the proportion of COWS to sheep, as
well as the total amount of stock that
can be profitably kept upon a given
area, will depend upon the nature of
the soil and the vegetation, the local
.ity. the climatic conditions, and so
forth.
We will not attempt to lay down any
hard and fast rule as to how many
sheep should be kept upon any farm,
but we are firmly Of the opinion that
some sheep could be probably kept
upon nearly all farms in the state.
They Will not only serve to keep the
pasture free from weeds, but they will
also prove excellent scavengers. for
clearing UP stubble fields after harvest
and the odd corners on the farm. And,
moreover, they will yield handsome
profit on the investment, as we'll as
providing the most wholesome kind Of
fresh meat for the farmers family
whenever it is desired
A mistake often made by farmers
who start in with a small flock of
sheep to act as scavengers is to buy
anything that anyone else may choose
to call sheep. has little wool on it's
back and will eat weeds, and then treat
them as meanly as their appearance
seems to deserve. This does not pay.
Good blood, individual merit and good
care are as necessary for profitable
sheep raising as with any other kind
of stock.
Buy few good, pure bred, registered
sheep of any one of half dozen of
the standard breeds, treat them right,
and they will do the handsome thing
by you. They will earn their keep
during the summer by destroying
weeds, but they must have good care
and feed during the winter. When
considerable number of sheep are re-
quired and pure breeds cannot be OBJ
tanned at satisfactory prices. good
grade ewes will do. but nothing but
registered rams of high individual
merit should ever be used
Such flock of sheep of appropriate
size will in few years exterminate
the weeds and greatly Improve the
grass of any good native pasture Top
dressing with manure and sowing blue
grass upon the bare spots will also be
found beneficial. If. however, the ma
tive grasses are too badly run out, it
may pay better to break the sod up,
crop it for two or three years and then
seed it down again.-South Dakota
