The Shortage of sheen.


Michigan sheep and lamb feeders
md themselves up against a peculiar
situation. and many of them are at a
loss how to proceed" says q writer In
the Detroit Tribune. There are many
feeders who were of opinion that re.
ceipts of Western sheep at Chicago
would be larger late in the season and
have waited in the belief that they
would be able to get their orders filed
at lower prices. Present indications
look as If there would be few of the
bargains that have been offered in 9th
er years.
Never before in the history Of the
Chicago yards has there been such a
pressing demand for feeding sheep and
lambs. Every day now the sheep pens
are full of strangers who are looking
for bargains, and every desirable
bunch is caught up at high prices com.
pared with other years. The outlook
for wool and mutton was never bright
er than at present, and the general be-
lief is that sheep and lamb feeders
will make plenty Of money this year,
no matter what they pay for feeding
stock"

Butte, Mont, Aug. 8. - Gaudeni
Patschi committed suicide by shooting
himself and then cutting his throat il
the hallway of his home. The mar
used 30-30 rifle, blowing off nearly
all the lower portion of his face, and
then, while still in possession of his
senses, took a pocket knife from his
pocket and slashed his throat deeply
from ear to ear. Patschi lived for full
ly l5 minutes after the tragedy, and
even after the terrible self inflicted
wounds still retained strength enough
to motion his wife away when she tried
to attend him.
The act was committed pom the i'm
pulse of the moment, as there does not
seem to be any logical reason for the
suicide. A slight misunderstanding
came up between Patschi and his wife,
and the man said he would end it all.
His wife, half jokingly, dared him to
do it, and Patschi left the room for a
few moments.
1t is not known where he obtained
the rifle, but Patschi startled the other
people in the house by his shot, and
they found him lying with his head
just outside the front room, the remain
der of his body being in the hall way.
While he was weltering in his own
blood he managed to take his knife
FROM his pocket and cash his already
bleeding throat.

This Years. Wheat Crop,

Another bumper wheat crop Is in
prospect. Estimates by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture on grain in the
field indicate total yield Of winter
wheat of over All 100000 bushels
against 401, 6S5, 1897 in 1903 and $685.
374,503 in 1904; a gain Of 1924, 113
bushels over 1908 and 1925, 497 BUSH
els over 1904. The estimate on spring
wheat is 349,OO0,000 bushels, but there
ere good reasons for believing that
the yield will be from 100000 to
100000 bushels greater than the
present estimate. However, the COM
parison, accepting the estimate as
correct, is interesting, showing an ex-
5sess for 1905 over the yield of 1904 and
'iess than 1903, as follows: Estimate
of yield of spring wheat, 1905, 34S,-
100000 bushels, against 355, 49,, 900 in
1903 and 279,696 500 bushels In 1904,
about 100000 bushels less than the
yield of 1903 and 6S,303,3 44 more than
sfst year. According to the official es-
innate, the total wheat crop of the
United States this year will be CO.
100000 bushels. Unless serious dam
age comes to spring wheat during its
ripening, the total wheat yield of the
United States will be about $4,000, 600
greater than in 1904 and 100000 in
excess of 1908. -Epitomist.

Cost of Making Beef.

1t has been accepted as proved that
the younger an animal the lower is
the cost of putting on flesh and fat.
Some experiments have been made to
prove this, but the data are too mea-
ger to permit of the building of very
strong arguments on them. Professor
N1umford of the Illinois station has
taken up the question and Is making
an experiment that will at least add
TO the volume of the data If 1t does
not settle the question, which it prob
ably will not. Herds of various ages
are being fed at the station, and these
will be marketed as fast as ready and
careful reports compiled of the cost
of gain made on each lot. There is a
point beyond which it does not pay a
farmer to keep an animal, even
though that animal Is all the time
gaining in weight. The station is try
Ing to find the point at which steer
feeding must stop, if a profit is to be
made. Every day after that point the
farmer is losing money and losing the
time he is putting on the care Of the
animal.

Simple Farm Gate.

Hhe gate shown in the accompany
ing illustration is recommended by a
correspondent of the Montreal Fam
lily Herald. The gate Is intended for
inside locations, upon farm instead
t,as bars or swinging gates which are
Troublesome and apt to get out of or
der. The correspondent has six of
these gates on his ranch, and expects
soon to put in as many more. 1t will
be noticed that the gate is not hung
on hinges. 1t consists simply of a
hurdle which stands between two
strong posts set so that the gate easily
passes back between them. The sec
ond bar of the gate rests on cleat
A, shown in the Illustration. This
cleat consists of inch lumber, four
inches wide and IL or IA inches long
The gate will slide easily If the top of
the cleat is creased. AS the gate is
closed it slips between the two posts,
which prevent it from being pushed
either way.

A Kicking Cow.

There are many recommended meth
DDS of dealing with kicking cows. One,
which is by some found to be very
effective, is to rope or strap the hind
legs together Just above the hook. The
rope or strap should be put on in the
form of figure eight, having it cross
between the legs. Some mixers APP
ply the rope close down to the feet
and fasten 1t to a ring in the floor.
Rather than fasten the rope securely,
1t Is better at the first trial to have
an attendant to hold the rope, so that
he can loosen 1t In case the COW throws
herself in her effort TO kick. A plan
that does no good and generally much
harm is TO beat the animal. This only
Increases the retaliation in the form
of kicking. A kicking COW is an an
CRY cow, and after one has exhausted
his efforts in attempting to soothe her
by means of patting, currying, giving
mashes, ETC., without success, the only
thing to do is to secure her In a man.

Sod Honses and Te1enhones.

Sod houses and telephones are the
strange combination now offered by
the prairies of the Middle West. Yet
appears, for the present sod houses
are by no means to be despsed, par
ticularly in cold weather. They are
built with considerable attention to
comfort, and, with an interior lining
of Portland cement, offer almost the
advantages of stone building, and
at the slightest cost, while the net

How Sunday Affecta the Cows.

The manager OF the Wisconsin ex-
perimental farm once said that he
could tell the Sundays in the calendar
by looking at his milk record, which
showed the daily yield, because the
quantity obtained was invariably
smaller than on a week day "Our
men milk a little later on Sunday
morning, and a little earlier at night,
probably hurrying the operation, and
the cows resent the treatment by civ.
ing a somewhat smaller yield II
milk" 1t was observed, also, npropos
of the necessity for kind and gentle
treatment of dry cattle, that a new
hand obtained IS milk from GOV

necessarily more expert, to whom she
was accustomed

HAVE THE NESTS NICE.

To keep hens cheerful and have
them lay well in winter, clean, soft
nests of warm hay or straw, placed
where they will be protected from
cold winds, snow and rain, should be
provided for them. They should be
cleaned out occasionally and fresh
hay put in, and when an egg is found
broken it should be removed at once,
for, aside from the fact that the more
enterprising layers might out of curl
osity taste of it and thus acquire the
hateful egg-eating habit, single
broken egg in nest will soon cause
millions of lice, which, once they have
secured foothold, are not to be ex.
PEELED without more or less heroic
treatment. 1t is advisable to have
either tobacco dust or earth saturated
with carbolic acid convenient for scat
terlng in the nests when they are
cleaned.

IMPROVING THE FARM.

every thoughtful farmer wishes to
improve his farm, just as the business
man wishes to improve his business so
'nat IL snail become more valuable
each year.
some farmers seek to increase the
value OF their farms by adding acres.
otners by building new barns or new
fences
Ihere are farmers who become moor
er with every quarter section thew add
TO their farm. They have more acres
but the original homestead is more in
dl1erently cultivated, and the little
details IN keeping things up are neg
lected. The children and wife. as we'll
ds the larmer. are anslavei to pay for
the last quarter section bought. and
the home farm is not worth as much
as an investment as it was before. be-
ing morlgaged to secure the payment
on the latter purchase.
New barns and new fences are not
The only things that improve farms
sometimes their addition to a farm
makes the lack of other improvements
more apparent. Again, not every
farmer is able to build a new barn
when he thinks he needs it, but this
should not prevent him from making
lmpl "ements each year-should not
prevent him from keeping up the i'm
pfOVements, SO that each year his
farm would sell better than the year
before should he wish to dispose of it.
Many dollars could be added to the
selling value OF the majority of farms
by single days work with man and
team. On many farms this addition to
the selling value could be made for
several days in succession in the same
Way-simply cleaning slp an clubhouse
and barn, making firewood and scrar
iron OF all wornOut wagons and i'm
plements and all other trash that can
be used that way. All other rubbish
that cannot be burned should be carted
into some draw or water course on the
farm, where it will make a dam and
save tons of valuable soil If the farm

and scraper and make a trench deep

scrape the soil back and let them rest.
So much done, the improvement of
the farm win be SO great that more
will be apt to follow. A few trees
doubtless will be planted or the old
ones trimmed, perhaps steps made so
the front door may be entered-and is
1t too much to suggest that a coat or
two OF paint would add five times the
cost to the selling value of the house?
And If money value doubled, how much
greater will be increased those values
which are measured by the sense of
pleasure and of pride in the home the
enjoyment and moral uplift
and all the other comforts and joys
which troop with beauty and a culti-
waited taste! Then the front fence |
would have to be Strengthened up or

once begin and keep going on and it |
will not be long before old passers-by |
will have to look the second time to |
locate themselves, and newcomers will |
say. What pretty place; wonder If

Idaho Plans for Exposition.

A meeting of the Idaho CON-
mlssloners to the Lewis and
Clark fair to be held in Portland
this year have been in session in
the government Office at Boise.
Those present were Executive
Commissioner Mcbride and Com
missioners James r. Steele of Binp-
ham county; M. ]. Vessels, of
Hendricks, and Fredrick Bradley
OF HALEY; DR.. Harold ]. Reed and
Mrs. Mansfield of Nampa were
not present.
The commissioners went over
the plans of the building which
were drawn by Wayland & Fennel
and approved of them. Other
matters pertaining to the construc-
ton of the building and the Idaho
exhibit were gone over and discuss
ed at considerable length.
Commissioner Mcbride and Mr..
Fennel, who drew the plans, will
leave Sunday night for Portland
to let the contract for the con-
struction of the building. 1t is
estimated that the building will
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Commissioner Mcbride is rapidlv
getting the Idaho exhibit in shape
to be shipped to Portland as soon
as the building has been complet-
ed. -Four carloads are already been
shipped, three of which were sent
direct from the exposition at St.
Louis and is ready to be installed
as soon as the building has been
completed.
The commissioners are desirous
OF making the Idaho exhibit one of
the finest at the fair and to that
end every energy is to be bent.
While the appropriation is not as
large as the commissioners would
like it is believed that the loyal
people of the state will contribute
Literally of their products to make
the exhibit commensurate with the
of the state.
