HERE AND THERE.

All breeds of sheep are by choice
~scavengers, but when expected to SUBJ
sist entirely on scavenger's fare they
return only ~scavenger's profits.
The Southern Farm Magazine SAYS
that the aggregate production of corn
in the south for the last two years has
been 1900, OoO, 600 bushels, against 9OS,-
100000 bushels for the two preceding
years, or a total increase in the last
two years of nearly 400, 00O, 900 bushels.
1t pays in two ways to kill off the
rabbits during the winter and feed
them to the hens, for it will save the
fruit trees and bring high-priced eggs.
In an economic way rabbits are a pest
to the farmer and fruit grower: and
eternal war should be waged upon
them.
Did you say a few days ago that
you got no eggs? Why? How have you
been feeding your flock? You can not
expect to get eggs without feed, and
the nearer you feed in the proper way
the better the egg production will be.
There is a profit in poultry when tend
ed right.
Farmers waste much of the value
of the manure by putting it in piles in
the barnyard and letting it take the
weather for months. If the yard hap
pens to be near a creek or pond, a great
part of the fertility finds its way into
it, and probably one-half of it's value
is lost.
Scientists tell us that the turnip is
composed Of 80 per cent. water; never
theless the very best mutton that Eng
land produces is raised on turnips as a
bulk ration, with the addition of grain
as a fattening ration. So the water
the turnip contains must be of excel
lent quality.
Thinning fruit not only increases
the quality, but almost insures the
bearing OF another crop next year.
From 40 to so per cent. of the fruit
may be taken off, and as much gath
cred of superior quality as If all had
remained. Less labor is required and
more profit derived.

They will keep down the weeds, and

SENATOR MITCHELL IS DEAD
The Aged Oregon Senator Succumbs
to Weakness Following HemOr-
rhage From Tooth Extraction

Portland, Ore, Dec. 9.-United States
Senator John H. Mitchell died at the
Good Samaritan hospital in this city at
11;40 o'clock Friday forenoon, death
resulting from complications which fol-
lowed the removal of four teeth at a
dental Office.
A hemorrhage of unusal severity fol-
lowed the removal of the teeth, and
despite the application of the most pow
full styptics known to dental science,
the flow of blood could not be stayed.
Physicians were summoned to the den
tai office, but the combined scientific
knowledge OF the dentists and physl-
clans could not stop the flow Of blood.
Senator Mitchell had long been a suf-
ferer from diabetes and other vitiating
diseases and in his weakened physical
condition rapidly succumbed to inevita-
BILE weakness following such violent
hemorrhages and lapsed into a stage OF
semi-consciousness from which he
never rallied.
Senator Mitchell's wife is in Paris,
France, where she has spent a large
part of her time since the marriage OF
their daughter, Margaret, to the duke
of ROuchefOucOuld.
