a cosmopolitan plant of great range of

been grown in large quantities it has
enormously increased the productivity

SHEEP sENEE,T PASTURES.
ThOy, Are Great Exterminators o4
~ Weeds and Stimulate Rich
r.. 9 0rowthsof Grass. S.

- 3. We ere convinced that the addition
OF five or six head OF sheep for each
COW will tend to increase the produc-
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
we'll as the total amount of stock that
can be probably kept upon given
area, will depend upon the nature of
the soil and the vegetation, the local
sity, the climatic conditions. and so
forth.
We will not attempt to lay down any
hard and fast rule as to how many
saeep 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 il with small flock OF
sheep to act as scavengers is to buy
anything that anyone else may choose
to call sheep. has little wool on its
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. .sssrt..
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 a
coHSlueFaple uumUer OI SHeep ai9 ~
quired and pure breeds cannot be OBJ
tanned at satisfactory prices, good
grade ewes will do, but nothing bu!
registered rams of high individual
merit should ever be used.
Such a flock of sheep of appropriate
size will in a few years exterminate
the weeds and greatly improve the
grass Of any good native pasture. Tor
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, i,
may pay better to break the sod up
crop it for two or three years and then
seed it down again.-South Dako.a

ABUSE OF HOSPITALITY.

INVENTED PRAIRIE CRAFT.
History OF the Nan Who Conceived
the Idea Of Running Wagons s..
With Sails.

A man from Texas was talking with a
New Yorker, when a wagon with the
name Gail Borden painted on it passed
by. The name is retained by Gail Boz
den's successors. though Gail Borden
himself is dead, says the Sun.
do not know when Borden came
to New York." said the Texan, but the
sight OF his name recalls a bit of inter-
esting history which. venture to say,
few, If any, New Workers ever heard.
Gail and his brother Thomas used tc
be editors in Texas. They were the
founders of the Texas Telegraph. which
had hot history. 1t was the first news
paper published in Texas. 1t was print
ed in San Felipe in 1885.
"On the approach OF the Mexican
army, President Burnet and his cabinet
fed to Harrisburg, and were followed by
the Bordens with their press and type,
and they were there working off form
of the paper when the advance of Santa
Anna's army appeared at that place.
They were forced to abandon the
work and flee for their lives. The type
and press we're thrown into the bayou,
and the printing Office destroyed.
AFTER the victory at San Jacinto the
publication of the paper was, renewed
at Columbia. but was, with the govern
ment. transferred to the new town of
Houston. and soon afterward was sold.
Thomas was older than his brother Gail
and, besides being aYpartner in the pa
per, was also engaged ia surveying and
selling lots In Galveston.
Gail invented the steam gauge and
also vehicle called prairie schooner.
This was much the same as an ordinary
covered wagon but was made to run by
sails, and itwould run, but too much SO.
1T was not easily controlled, and
1t would do unexpected things. and was
dangerous. It would run into the gulf
or up against things. and the model was
finally wrecked in drift on Galveston
island. and the project abandoned. Bor-
den intended these vehicles to be used on
the great level dry plains; hence the
name he gave them. -
:, This idea of his afterward caused the
great trains of covered wagons in the
west to be called prairie schoouers.
Gail Borden filled a number of civil
Offices, and was "a member of the con-
vention at San Felipe n 1888 He was
also the agent of the Galveston City Gas
company, and the first collector Of the
port of Galveston. t@5
After annexation, he distinguished
himself as an inventor, first securing
q valuable patent for preserving meat
in form which he called meat biscuit.
He also invented and secured patent
for process of condensed milk which
is staple article of commerce.
He made the first condensed milk
where the town Of Glidden is now, in
Colorado county, but then called Bor-
den. AS late as 1887 his sign was still
to be seen there.
'At that time post Office and Bor-
den's place were about all there was
there in the way of business. The coun.
ty of Borden. at the foot of the plains,
was named for him. as was also the
county seat. which is Gail"

HOGS NOSE is AL RIGHT.

Of my farmer brethren asked which in

It is inhuman and inexcusable cruelty
to disfgure the nose of hog, remarks
q writer in Northwestern Agriculturist,
besides, it is detriment to the owner.
Our Creator gave the hog his snout to
root with, in order to find a medical
substance which his system needs to
cleanse the blood, to disinfect all
worms and trichinea and to keep him
in good health and a thrifty condition.
But II that is prevented by disfguring
his nose. and this medical substance
is not fed to him, he will then become
unhealthy and diseased and will be
unfit for mankind to consume. / will
venture to say that 80 per cent OF
cholera hogs have died with disfg-
ured nose.
/ have handled for the past &c years
as high as 300 hogs yearly, and have
yet to see where they have made hole
large enough to set hen. To prevent
roofing, dig hole four and one-half
feet deep, two and one-half at bottom,
four and one-half at top; start fire
at bottom; throw in any kind of wood
and cobs and when all is in blaze
cover hole alright, with sheet iron.
Break up the charcoal next day. mix
with each bushel four pounds Of salt,
halt pound copperasS dissolved in
water, and sprinkle over It, then put in

be to make 1t q mimsdemeanor to put
