which Cod has remembered most graciousy but
which the government has forgotten most shamefuy.

they do not compare with what could be accomplished

DICK TELLS OF
INSIDE WORKING
EnIiehtens the Public on Question of
Independent Candidacies-Makes
Attack on Mayor McCaskrin.

On Market square last evening a
number of people listened to William
Dick, who is known 10 local politics as
Peanut Dick" tell of the workings, in
side and outside, OF an Independent
campaign. Dick scattered the bills
ana planted the flag poles for McCask-
rim in two campaigns and is now on
the war path against him.
He had gathered together a bundle
of the almost forgotten Rock Island In
dependents, and extracts from Mr.. Nc
Caskrin's writings were read. some of
them not comparing favorably with the
regime of the present mayor.
Considerable inside information was
given out by Dick. He admits that he
expected compensation in some
form for his labors and he
thinks that the mayors reference
to him and his friends as job hunters
does not come with very good grace.
Dick denounced the frisky Office
hunter, whom he had formerly follow
ed so zealously. as a traitor to his
friends, and told of some very unbe-
coming as well as uncomplimentary
utterances that Mayor George had
made to him concerning present mem
bers of the Rock Island city council

mq1stHted that8he had been close

A. H. Mertz. the Moline "reformer'
also spoke. Mertz declared that he
had been the only public writer who
had defended McCaskrin throughout
his campaigns and looked upon him as
the man upon whose shoulders the
mantle of Golden Rule" Jones had
surely fallen. He had regarded him as
man after the heart of Folk of Mis-
souri,. LaFollette of Wisconsin and
Weaver of Philadelphia, and MertZ SOL
EMMY ayerred that he had regarded
McCaskrin as being sent by God, as a
savior TO redeem the city of Rock Is
land back to righteousness, but McCask-
rim had turned him down too. and now
he looked upon Dick. the speaker of the
evening, as the real Moses MertZ also
took fall out of Mayor Vessel of
Moline. who had turned a deaf ear to
his claims for recognition in the max
ing of appointments

Sows That Are Poor Mixers.

Many farmers have complained that
each spring they have trouble from
sows having too little milk to proper
ly nurse their pigs, and they have diff
Guilty in saving the filters. They ask
for the reason, and it can be correctly
given in majority of instances. Sows
that fail to provide sufficient milk
for their offspring usually come from
poor milking sows. Milk giving is
hereditary trait and may be cultivated
For this reason more care should be
taken to breed from deep milking soWs
and to reject for further breeding pur-
poses sows that have failed to nurse
their filters properly. Milk produc-
ton is also the evidence of perfectly
natural and normal healthy conditions
in the SOW.
Though a SOW may inherit the pro
pensity to yield plenty of milk, that
propensity may be largely offset by
the sow's condition. She should have
ample outdoor exercise to keep her
body in the pink of condition as con-
Germs muscular development, perfect
action of the excretory organs and
ideal vigor and stamina. The tat,
sluggish SOW that suffers from constr
patton is not only liable to have trou-

cerned, then appoint committee COM
posed of men who have the most horse
sense to purchase the animal for good,
hard cash, then provide bylaws cover
ing the patronage and appoint another
man who has good horse sense to keep
the stallion. This is the only way we
know of to get a right foundation for
the youngsters.

the sheep business because he has
somehow got an idea that he must be
peculiarly fitted for the task of raising
or feeding sheep. This is a mistake.
Sheep are just as hardy and just as
easily raised as any other domestic
animal. Like any other animal, they
are subject to disease, but with proper
care and warm, dry quarters they are
easily kept healthy and hardy.
There is profit in a flock of sheep,
and the sooner the farmers of this
country find it out the better off they
will be- The demand for mutton is
constantly and rapidly increasing, and
there is no danger of an OverprOduc-
ton The great range countries of
the west are being rapidly taken up
by settlers, and the day is coming
when we must depend upon the farm
er to supply the mutton that is now
produced on the ranges, the same as
he now supplies the pork. AS we
said above, it is high time the farmer
shook himself and awoke to his OPP
portunities.
The Small Farmer and Sheep.
The attractive prices being paid for
wool this year will undoubtedly influ-
ence many farmers to go more or less
extensively into the sheep business,
remarks the Okanogan Valley Argus.
This is an industry that offers big
profits on the investment, and can be
carried on in conjunction with farm
ing, adding materially to the annual
income. While many will probably
invest in sheep in this county, it is
altogether unlikely that any attempt
will be made to run very large bands,
for it has been pretty satisfactorily
demonstrated that the range is not
sufficient Because of the rapidity
fenced the possibility of supporting
the larger droves on the wild grass is
almost entirely precluded. In place
of the old time sheep king, with his
many thousands of head of sheep
roaming freely over unclaimed tracts
of bunch grass covered territory, will
be the small farmer with bands limit
ed in size by the amount OF feed his
land can produce. Already there are
a few examples of this, and they are
increasing each year. Granville Brown
of Tunk creek is one of these. He re-
Gently sold 300 pounds of wool at
Riverside for Is cents pound. This
clip was obtained from about 400
sheep. Besides this the increase this
year was about SO per cent. Another
example is that of w. H. Henderson,
who last spring entered the sheep
business and this year clipped $4,000
pounds of wool from LOO sheep, for
which he received a high price. The
increase of his band reached nearly
100 per cent. The opportunity thus
offered to farmers will certainly be
taken advantage of as the profits in
the business are more generally real
lied by them.

The Shropshire on the Farm.

The Shropshire breed of sheep
stands unsurpassed as an all around
farmers sheep adapted to all condi-
tons, writes correspondent OF the
Shepherds Criterian. Not only is the
Shropshire a farmers sheep, but it is
the rich mans sheep also. They keep
them on their large farms because OF
their beauty and prolificacy. the
Shropshire is the universal breed. 1t
is found in large numbers in England,
Ireland, Scotland, the United States,
Canada and almost everywhere known
to sheep growers.
Everywhere Shropshire rams are
used to grade up the common class of
ewes. And why is this SO? 1t is be-
cause they have proved themselves to
be the most profitable. Shropshires
are also very profitable when raised
in pure bred focks. The ewes of this
breed drop large number OF lambs
and nurse them well, and as soon as
the lambs are partly matured ready
sale at good prices for them is i'm
mediately found. The ranchmen buy
Shropshire rams by the carload very
large majority of the smaller sheep
growers use Shropshire rams, and
when you get the exceptionally good
ones there are plenty of pure bred
