Sensible Suggestions on Sheen,

The Farm Journal says; Always
take a basin Of salt with you when you
90 to the sheep pasture. The sheep
expect it and are disappointed n you
do not bring IL 10 them. Do not regu.
larry salt them on the ground. Have
boxes or a place under the barn shed
where they may eat and not be com
compelled to lick up the earth.
IL lisa shame TO keep sheep In a field
where there is no chance for them ia
get under cover Of some kind when Ii
rains or the u shines hot. Sheep are
great animals to seek shelter from rain
or heat. They suffer terribly when ex.
posed 70 the direct rays Of the sun all
day. Think Of this. Ii is said, some.
times, that sheep do not need water,
that they can get all they want in the
dew on the grass. Just try and see
what a mistake this is. Sheep do
need water, and lots of it; they can
not do well II they do not have it.
Try to have some new blood for
your flock every year. Inbreeding is
q sure way to demoralize the flock.
II a ram gets too fat, loss OF vitality
and usefulness often results. Reduce
his flesh by exercise, rather than by
reducing the ration which would be
weakening.
/ have seen flocks Of sheep that had
TO be almost entirely surrounded by
men, women and boys before they
could be yarded. Whenever you see
such a flock you may set it down for a
fact that tine owner is not on very
good terms with his nannies.
Taking into account the time spent
in caring for sheep they pay better
than cows. This can be demonstrated
to a mathematical certainty.
The man who can not get a lot OF
comfort out Of sheep and lambs sure.
ly has something wrong about him.
To watch them and wee how much Of
human nature there is about them, is
worth the study given them. A man
learns a good deal about himself by
studying sheep and lambs. But then,
the same thing Is true of all animals.

change in the condition OF the Senator A great
portion OF the forenoon was passed IN sleep
soon after noon the Senator awoks again and AZ

TFRoM THE TRIBUNE sursAuI

Washington. Aug. Pituitary experts hold
that the Russians do not plan to make deter
mined stand against the japanese at Liao-Yang.
the view being based on the dispatches from
Toxic to-day TO the effect that the japanese are
occupying Au-Shan-Chan, twenty miles south OF
Liao-Yang, and that thirteen divisions OF Rus
sian troops between these places have begun TO
fall back toward Moukden. OF course this in
formation may not be accurate and the with
drawal may simply be one Of the promised evo-
lutions Of great body OF troops for the more
effective eventual resistance
Some OF the American officers have been
counting on battle at Ltao-Tang. but there are
no positive indications yet that there will be any
formidable collision. Perhaps the retreat OF the
Russians is prompted by the flank movement of
the japanese who are said TO have reSorted
again TO the famous Moltke tactics OF compel
ling the foe 10 protect itself by continually fall
ing back, with the effect of being pursued.
The experts here prefer 10 await the adviCeS
of the next few days before risking further
prophecy Few of them believe that the Rus
SLAMS are ready to fight, but nearly all believe
that sooner or later the japanese will catch IN
with the retreat This impression prevails by
virtue of the theory that Russia must some
where possess the resources of effective oppOsi-
ton. and kuropatkin is counted upon 10 do the
right and best thing with the facilities OF battle
at his command.
