The Shepherd
And His Flock

Professor Thomas Shaw, in Amer
lean Sheep Breeder, says that disease
among sheep is vastly on the increase.
These diseases are tapeworm, stomach
worm and nOdular disease.
Since these things are so, says the
professor, they emphasize the impor-
lance of first securing healthy animals
on which to build future fiocks. 1t
may not be always possible to be quite
sure on this score, as animals apparent
~ healthy may carry the germs Of any
one of the troubles named This at
least is true Of mature sheep. If the
sheep are purchased in the open mar
ket the hazard of introducing such dis
eases is to some extent always present.
But should they be purchased from the
flock Of an honest farmer who has kept
sheep on his farm for many years
without the Introduction Of material
from without then the buyer can be
pretty well assured that he is not in
Producing disease along with his flock
that will give him serious trouble in
the future
Having once established a healthy
flock, then by all means try to keep it
so. This can best be done by barring
out further additions to the flock. The
only real danger Of bringing in disease
when this course is adopted is that
which arises from the Introduction of
males which it may be necessary to
purchase at certain intervals to avoid
too close breeding.
With the introduction Of such males
there is usually an element of danger,
but If these are chosen from fiOcks
known to be healthy the danger is re-
duced to a minimum. Thus guarded
the spread of those dangerous diseases
would be greatly checked, and in time
the losses from them would certainly
grow less rather than more.
The practice combated in this paper
is that Of traficking in sheep on the
ordinary farm. The average farmer
in the west at least is much inclined
to carry on his stock business on what
may be termed the bartering plan. He
is ready to sell his whole flock or a
part of it when a good offer is made
for it. Then he goes out and buys again
to replace it. The barter may seem
profitable at the first, but suppose a
healthy flock has been sold and it is
replaced by one laden with disease
germs, in the end loss will result. The
farmer would have acted more wisely
had he retained as many animals in
the flock as were necessary for its main
tenance and sold only those that could
be spared

While the various county contests
were bitter and hard fought, general
interest was fixed on the probable plu-
rality for Cobb, the Republican candi-
date, the Democrats aiming to reduce
it below the $4,000 of 1900, and the
Republicans determined to prevent a
falling off. To these ends the leaders
put forth every effort, especially in the
cities and large towns. Early returns
showed that both parties had made
gains over the election of 1900. 1t was

voGHT GETS VERDICT
City of erinneIl Defeated in Second
Trial of Damage Case Growing Out
Of Alleged Pollution Of Water From
Sewage.

Montezuma, Dec. 8. - The jury last
evening brought in verdict Of $4,000
for the PLAINTIFF in the case Of Voght
VS.. the City Of Grinnell, which has
had an eventful life In the courts for
the past two years.
Mr.. Voght, who is farmer living
three miles from Gripnell, claimed that
the sewage from the city drained off on
his place. communicating the water In
his pasture, and caused his cattle to
die. He brought action for heavy dam
ages.
The case came up for trial here two
years ago, and was taken from the jury
by the court and decided in favor Of
the city. This ruling was reversed by
the supreme court at its session last
May, and the case came up for trial
again at the present session Of court.
The trial has occupied the past Ave
days.

Of Grinnell has put in a septic tank,

ers. 1t has been several weeks since
the alleged deposition was made. but
up to the present time, neither Miss
Ham nor her legal representatives. In
Duluth and Dubuque have as yet re-
ceived copy of 1t. 1t is argued that.
if II were made, they certainly would
have been served with copy of 1t be-
fore now. Her attorneys expected to
receive copy Of the alleged deposit
ton In n day or two, and the fact that
they have not received 1t leads them
and Miss Ham to believe that no such
deposition was ever made.
Miss Ham when questioned relative
to the alleged marriage, declared that
II man named Wallace ever made
such deposition, that the statement
alleged to be contained therein that
she was married to him In Wisconsin
was absolutely and unqualifledly false,
and she feels highly indignant over the
statement. She says 1t Is on par with
the other falsehood that she was mar
ried to a man named Fred Barrows, at
Dyersville. In 1872.
1t Is claimed that this Is an attempt
on the part Of Potter to discredit Miss
Ham.
The motion for new trial In this
case has not yet been disposed of. and
it has been continued from time to
time at the request OF Potter.

Hampton, Dec. 3.--No case before
the present term of court has attracted

would not settle the matter at the last
term Of court and allowed 1t to go over
by Billingsley's withdrawing his ap-
plication without prejudice and filing 1t
in time for this term. Billingsley is
the druggist who had trouble with
Pastor Troy OF. the M. e. church a
couple Of years ago and it was COM
monty rumored that resistance would
be filed to his securing the permit. No
one appeared against him and he had
subpoenaed forty-eight witnesses to
testify as to his character and busi-
ness ability These forty-eight men
We're practically all from the ranks Of
the professional and business men OF
Hampton and altho Richards only al
lowed eight Of them TO be used 1t was
shown that the general opinion of the
entire number was that Billingsley
should be granted a permit IL others in
Hampton had them. When pinned
down to the question of whether or not
they thought Hampton needed another
permit they would invariably refuse
to answer except with the qualifca-
ton that Billingsley should have
permit IL others did. Judge Richards
said that he had examined the case
outside and from statistics he had
found that there were already four
permits in Hampton and that some of
them were selling as high as IT'S sales
of liquor legally each month. This
amount he thought was too high. he
thought that one permit holder could
supply the needs Of the community but
that IL there were more than one he
could not see any reason why five
should not sell legally. He said the
permit to Billingsley would be for
short time and would be made to ex-
pire at the same time others did which
are now held In Hampton. Then at
that time he said the whole matter or
LIQUOR selling in Hampton would be
taken up and reviewed and perhaps
some of the applications would be re-
fused
