Flogging in england.

Flogging is still allowed in English
prisons as a punishment for mutiny or
violence. but recently published statis-
tics make it doubtful whether even in
lnese extreme cases corporal punishment
serves the purpose for which it is intend
ed. 1t is shown that since the number
Of prison offenses for which fiogging was
allowed was reduced in 1898. the number
Of offenses against prison discipline has
decreased from lat to f31 per 1000 pris-
oners, while there has been an increase
in the number of those ofenses for
which the cat is still the penalty.

Margin of Profit.

The industry is operated on mar
gin of less than cents to each dol
bar of sales. Swift 4 Co. do not sell
ut retail. Their entire output is sold
at wholesale to many thousands OF
dealers in various parts of the world.
There are hundreds of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States. who
buy their live stock in competition
with the packer doing an interstate
and international business. Likewise
the packer must sell in competition
with the local slaughterers There are
no secret processes in the industry. no
complicated and expensive factories.
and as live stock can be purchased in
almost every hamlet and city. and the
preparation of meats is simple in the
extreme, local Strengthening will long
remain a factor in the production of
fresh meats and provisions. ~.s

Dogs as Work Animals.

The London Daily Mail prints
Belgium dispatch as follows: THE
present strike in the bakery trade
in Antwerp, which is causing much
inconvenience in that town and the
surrounding district is due, in part,
to the demands of the owners of
bread carts drawn by dogs for spe-
cial payments, in addition to their
wages, for the maintenance of the
dogs. They demand payments of
10 francs year for each dog they
use, to counterbalance the 'deterio-
ration of the dogs, the payment of
the dog tax by their employers,
and two loaves of bread free for the
food of each dog. Their demands
will probably be acceded to, for the
dog service is too useful and mex
pensive to have any substitute for
it tried. The number of dogs in

DON'T TRUST 100 MUCH
TO RAIN, But IRRIGAIf

The government rain gauge at the
experim entail farm showed that one
and one half inches of rain fell in
Twin Falls during the past week.
''What effect will the rain have
on irrigation ~, Superintendent
Mcpherson was asked.
''The ground was moistened to a
depth of 81 to inches. Where
ground was irrigated this year the
moisture will materially aid the
farmer, and he may safely defer
further irrigation for some little
tim>. But where land was plowe d
or cultivated this spring and not
irrigated, the farmer should beware
of trusting to the rain, unless the
moisture caused by the storm pene-
trated the ground to a sufficient
depth to connect with the moisture
below.
'If the ground were examined
now it would be found that 80 or 4
inches below the surface lay streak
of dry earth, below which more
moisture would be found. In con-
sequence of this the moisture caused
by the rain will dry out very quick
ly. The rainfall was sufficient tc
I terminate seed, but unless it is fol-
lowed by irrigation the ground will
soon dry out and crops will suffer.
This storm was very beneficial tc

spring, and will be a great benefits

necessary. The moisture from above

LETTER ABOUT SHEEP

Chicago Ill, June 1. -Official re-
ceipts of sheep and lambs for last
week were 70, 867 and receipts this
week will be about the same, there
being IS, 500 for the first five days.
Monday, with receipts 81, 148, the
market was active and in some cases
a shade higher. AS usual the bulk
of the receipts consisted of shorn
lambs from the nearby feed lots.
The best sold up to 500, with the
bulk $6.25 to $3.50. Choice ma
tive ewes sold up to SO. 90, with the
bulk SIS. so to $5.75, with wethers
$5.75 to $6.25. There are but very
few wooded lambs coming now,
though there has been a few from
Colorado this week, which sold at
81. so to ST.. 90.
There are but very few native
lambs coming and the quality is be-
low the average. The best have sold
up to $3.50, while good many of
them have sold at 5000 to SO. so,
with the culls at $500 to SIS. So.
Packers have received good many
lambs this week from Kentucky and
Tennessee. They are costing from
$40 to 81. so at the loading points,
which makes them 81. so to $500
here. They are better quality than
the native lambs we are getting and
have sold IN New York up to SO. IS.
The market closed shade lower
on ewes and wethers, but shade
stronger on shorn lambs. The de-
mand for feeders continues good.
Quite number of Gull lambs and
yearlings are going back into the
country at $5.25 to $3.50 Pros
poets look favorable for higher prices
through the month of June.
Yours truly,
