SHEEP IN NORTH DAoKoTA.
Frank Kelley, Of Woonsecket, S. D

Frank Kelley, Of Woonsecket, S. D.,
writes az follows to The Dakota Farm
er, Of Aberdeen:
"a few days ago E was in North Da-
kOta, jOurneying up the -bismarck lihe
Of the 'SOo,' and soon after the train
crossed the line between Logan and
EmmOns counties it began to slow
up at tie platform near, the great
I Campbell sheep ranch. Hustling out
at the rear Of the coach, l had the
pleasure Of greeting Dlgald Camp.
bell, who, with his family, was just
boarding the train for Bismarck. Mr..
Campbell is one Of the old-tiners OF
that region, and one of the best known
shuepmen of North Dakota. Atone
time the Northwestern Live-StOck
Company Of which he is preside ent
and manager, had nearly 100, 900 sheep
| out in small nockS on shares with set
! tiers in the Missouri Slope country.
but at the present time this number
Is greatly reduced. Those, settlers
who took sheep on shares some years
ago now have enougll'sheep of their
own, and consequently the company
is finding it difficult To- place It's sheep
! OUT. The terms arc half the Increase
and half the wool. Ii some cases the
company has loaned money To build
sheds. - @
"Mr. Campbell says those who have
made the most from taking a flock OF
sheep are men who can manage a
fuck Of two or three hundred without
hiring any additional help. members
Of their own families herdiug them
in the summer, and helping to. FEED
them in the winter. 10 this way q
settler and his children are given en-.
\ pl0yment that pays quite we'll. But
the einexperienced man who goes int
the sheep business and hires all his
l help Is taking chances Of loss instead
Of profit. 1t often happens that the
poor man who invests nU5 money, but
takes a small flock on shares, goes
\ slow aud careful and learns the bust
ness, makes far more than; the mar
! who buys large flock and depends OF
hiring help.

HOMEMADE DEATH POETRY.

A quarter Of century ago 1t was
the custom-especiatly In the country
distrIcts-when child died, for some
neighbor TO grind out a batch OF dog
gcrel and have the same published la,
a local paper. One city paper, the
Philadelphia Ledger, was noted for
the large number Of effusions Of this
kind that appeared IN its columns
The newspaper wits Of the metropoli-
tan press, however, finally ridiculed
the Ledger's poetry to such an extent
that there was large reduction In
its volume. We remember brace of
stanzas, published many years ago,
in imitation Of the Philadelphia pa
per's poetry" One is:
".Oe'r little Tommy's brief career {
The curtain sadly drops.
He waltzed away TO heaven above,
From eatin' 'parsnip tops"
The otleE
Little Bobby did to heaven go;
Baby life so fleet ISL
He was afflicted with the cerebro-
Spinal men-in-gee-tis."
But that the obituary poets have
not all died or gone out Of business is
shown BY the following efrusion from
the gifted goose-quill Of a poetess re-
siding at Paw Paw Corners, Indiana:
Little Mamie Wood,
The sweetest little girl,
She died 50 young and good,
With long, golden curls.
She s fiewTto heaven o'erhead,
With the cherub angels scars;
Two parents eyes are red,
For her who has went before.
But do not sigh, dear mother,
And father, TOO, OF course.
Some day you will discover
Her On-a gold -shOd horse.
AT pearly gates she'll greet you
