of no stock than of sheep.
No stock appreciates a frequent
change of pasture more than sheep.
While they are ravenous feeders, they
are especially dainty about eating
anything that has been fouled by them
selves; hence if they can be changed
from one pasture to another as often
as once in two weeks, so the pastures
will have been washed by the showers
while being rested, it is of great ad-
vantage, and besides being more ac-
ceptable to the sheep, the pasture af-
fords more feed than when kept close
by constant cropping.
Sheep can often be changed to "pas-
lures new" to great advantage to the
farmer himself as well as to the sheep.
They are almost omnivorous vegetar-
ians. They delight in many of the
bitter astringent plants no other stock
will touch, and If given the opportun.
ity will destroy many of the noxious
weeds.
A friend of mine had a timothy mea
dow in which there sprung up great
growth of white top. Sheep are par.
ticularly fond of this plant. He turn
ed large flock on for few days,
when the weeds were from to inches
high, and they soon cnt them tight to
the ground, literally destroying every
one, so the owner was able to cut fine
crop of clean timothy hay that could
not have been sold in the market at
all bad the weeds been allowed to
grow up with it. have also known
sheep to be used to advantage pastur-
ing down clover meadows that were
infested with the clover leaf worm.
Ragweeds, plantain and other weeds
of which sheep, are especially fond,
often spring up in the new seeding
after harvest. If given a chance at
them for few days, just at the right
time, of blossoming, sheep will effectu-
ally use them up. I used to think
must only turn on a few for fea1 they
injure the seeding, but I have learned
that the proper course is to put on
good big fock-ten or twelve to the
acre-and then leave them on only
two or three days. If left on too long
they turn their attention to the seed
ing; and had rather NOW the weeds
then pasture the seed too Gloss.
Flock masters who keep the fine
wool breeds know that it pays we'll to
get them up occasionally and trim
their hoofs. Some of them are in
clined to grow out long, and if the
season is wet they sometimes get in
famed and sore in the clefts, and un-
less attended to in time it will run in
to foot rot, and then there is trou-
BILE.
Attention to many of these little
datails in the way of summer care Of
the flock means all the difference be-
tween profit and loss, and this should
be sufficient motive to prompt one to
his best effort, to say nothing of the
high toned satisfaction Of having a
sound, thrifty flock, of which nobody
need be ashamed.

According to the best information
which could be obtained at the time.
Cordi had been first in the affections OF

her away from him. Idling about the

Hurt in a Runaway.

\. P. Farris of Yakima City sustained
very painful injuries last Thursday af-
ternon as a result of falling from his
buggy, his feet being cntangled in the
reins, while the horse was running. The
accident occurred near the corner of the
North Yakima Drug store on Yakima
avenue while the people were returning
from Ringing Bros. circus. \ hat from
from some young lady was blown into
the face of the horse Mr.. Farris was
driving, frightening the animal so that
it became unmanageable. He, in at
tempting to get out of the buggy, caught
his feet in the lines and fell out strik-
ing upon his face. He was dragged
about 100 feet before the horse was
stopped. His face was horribly multi
ated. Mr.. Farris was carried into the
drug store where medical attention was
given him.

with table and a few seats, together
with toilet room convenient for ladies
and children to doff their dusty or mud
dy travelling wraps, and be comfortable
while waiting for other members of the
family to finish trading. Ladies who
live 10 or 20 miles from town hurry off
early in the morning and if they only
had place where they could drop in
and refresh themselves, before going out
on the streets, surely it would be APP
preciated.
If we trouble clerk to care for our
dusty wraps and packages. we feel as
though we ought to pay him 10 cents
and take a check. We old ladies, land
young ones too) get so very weary wait
ing for our teams to come for us, and
the teamster never knows which end of
the city to begin to look for US, so we
necessarily have TO stand on the side
walk like an advertisement, in the glar-
ing sun, so heated and tired that we
feel it will be sheer necessity that will
take us to town again. We feel more
weary and nervous than if we had re-
manned at home toiling at the most as
siduous labor.

sort land some very deliberately fur

toner where they may not feel that
they are intruding or occupying an
other customers seat. Ii this subject
could be discussed and perfected by
Yakima people, it surely would be a
boon to tired shoppers.

country, when you are in town and feel
so tired waiting that it seems as though
you would drop, just remember this sug-
gestion and step into the store and in
