SHEEP IN BRUSH ORCHARD
Rew One Farmer Utilises the An.
imals in Keeping Down the Brush
While Trees Are Growing.

Last year Austin derrick, of Ohio,
told about planting trees In brush and
turning sheep into the orchard, and TO
the question:: How does he keep the
sheep from killing the trees, he replies
In the the Rural New Yorker as fol-
lows:
AS soon rs I cut and burn off a piece
OF land l set out the trees 40 by 40 feet
alternately, dig holes large enough to
set them only. | then put about n
bushel of COW manure close around
each tree for mulch; this manure will
not heat, and will not dry out SO much,
and will keep the roots moist. then
get poultry wire with inch mesh, cut
Id strips six inches by three feet, roll
1t around a broom handle, and then
put on the tree. l then form the head
two years In advance, and set them in
nursery rows; get trees four or five
feet, and then when l set a piece take
them up with plenty of dirt on the
roots, set them on a stone boat or low
wagon. and put them in the hole, dirt
and all. They go right along this way.
1t seems since they fumigated trees to
take a year or two to get them started
right.
keep the brush that grows up in
the piece cut down, and in a short
time. II kept cut, the sheep will kill
1t all out, but you must keep 1t cut
down 80 they can browse It of, and in
about three years your orchard will all
be in good pasture with a good sod,
Once in awhile a sheep will get to
gnawing trees. but when they do %
you must take her right out and send
her to the butcher. l only took one
last year out of 70. She did not gnaw
but would go straddle of a young tree
and bend 1t down and trim the tor
up. 1t is easy to catch them. II one
gnaws the trees drive the flock slowly
up around the tree, and II not fright.
ened she will run up to the tree for
bite Of bark. l keep salt in a box OF
in some kettle or crock in the pasture
for the sheep all the time. l think thi.
makes a difference also.

ANIMAL TALK.

A little salt each day aids digestion
and increases the pigs appetite.
Overlooking horses during the win.
ter is quite as bad as undertaking
while working.
Pick the cobs up daily II corn Ia fed
In the ear. or broken feet or legs may
be the result.
II the bride bits are put into cold
water for a few minutes, 1t will take
the frost out of them.
1t Is generally conceded that It
takes from AZ to six pounds Of grain
to make n pound OF pork.
Cement can be used for the stand.
ing place Of the cows, but 1t should
be kept covered with bedding.
Keep the SOW as long as she con.
tinues to give you q good litter. Do
not turn her of simply because she is
old.
The manure in the horse stable is
sometimes very injurious to the
horses feet, when 1t is left for days
at q time.
A good way to solve the sheep and
dog question Is to have small focks
and small enclosures fenced with dog.
proof wire fence.
In sections where most farmers
keep sheep the dog question does not
give much trouble-public sentiment
favors the sheep.

Cabbage and turnip may be safely

Carrots. parsley. spinach and par

Pepper and eggplant seeds are Of

but it leaves trail OF blood and dis

about 80 miles an hour. Charles Ash
and Lewis Yost saw the headlight a
mile away and started across the
track. They thought surely they
would have time to cross the track,
and took few steps forward, says
Yost, but the train bore down upon
them and Ash was struck and torn to
pieces. Yost escaped by hairs
breadth. The train did not stop.
The same train killed another man

Vision Of Heaven.

After lying in trance apparently
as one dead for more than six weeks,
Mrs. S. A. Griffin, wife of S. A. Grit
fin, of Boulder, COL, returned to con-
seriousness just long enough to tell Of
a wonderful vision of heaven that
came to her as che slept.

sights that 1 have beheld have been

Why any person after a vision such
as mine should wish to return to this
world of sin and sorrow is more than
I can understand. The pearly gates
and the streets paved with gold | be-
lieve to be literally true. On my
journey stood on a plain 80 desolate,
so immense now l cannot bear to con.
template it. Phantoma focked all
about me. all silent, all restless, but
all journeying as was | across that
dreary plain. At last l seemed to
be entering a building of the most
imposing dimensions. l cannot de-
scribe it. 1t was too beautiful for
words. 1 entered great hall, Six
judges sat there, presided over by a
seventh, who was superior to them
all, and benign, kindly faced being.
He looked upon me with tender com.
passion and knew that l had seen

An old Virginia friend Of the Spec.
tator. now living in Texas, sends US
the following account of a battle dur
ing the war between the States which
does not appear in history:
I-wonder how many of the old Con-
federate Veterans remember this bat
tie 1 am going to relate. Twas some
time in the winter of 1864. This
battle has not been recorded in history
and tho not bloody one it was ex-
ceedingly lively. We Of the 9th Va.
regiment were camped near Orange
Court House. There had been large
snow and the snow was in prime or
der for snow balling. The battle
started in the 9Th Va. regiment, one
company fighting against another.
Then our regiment attacked the 10th
Va. regiment of the third Brigade.
While they were fighting the 10th,
part of our Brigade attacked Rodes'
Division, ard soon there was lively
conflict and it was a most exciting
time. AS the boys said "they cut of
more than they could chew For
our boys were overpowered and one
of our flags was captured by Rodes'
men. From some cause Gen. Rodes
and staff came riding through our
camp, and we sure made it hot for
them, in the melee we captured some
Of their hats and carried them to Gen.
Walkers headquarters. Gen. Rodes
sent for the hats. Our brave General
replied bring us our flag and you
may have your hats" Rodes then
returned message "if you want your
flag you'll have to fight for it." That
was enough for Walker. He accept
ed the challenge, mounted his charg-
er, and gathered the men who were
left in camp from picket duty out of
the first brigade, 3rd Va. brigade and
the Louisiana brigade. The line Of
battle was formed with the 1st and
3rd brigade in front Of the Louisiana
brigade on our right. While we were
forming our line Rodes men were out
in an open field making balls and
balls They had perfect breast
works of balls. They were expecting
US to make a standing fight, but they
were deceived. We steady marched
close up to them and they began to
pelt US. General Walker ordered US
to fall back, we fell back some dis
lance, they after US. Walkers COM
mand rang out, bout face, charge
Then the fun began, all we saw was
their heels. They didn't even stop to
get their balls. When We captured
prisoner who would not give up we
piled snow on him till he gladly sur
rendered. 1t was great snow ball
fight and will be long remembered by
those who took part in it. We Sc
cured our flag and ran Rodes' men on
into their huts. The only damage
done was a few black eyes and
bruised noses. All were able to leave
the field without assistance. -Stann-
ton Spectator.

1t having been found that the body

in the river near Clinton, had been
some what mutilated and the neck
broken, the theory was advanced that
a murder had been committed. this eX-
planning TEXANS mysterious disappear
ance Nov. 2. This theory, however,
is not given much credence by Cor
oner Hullinger, who believes that tho
mutations were caused by the ice and
that the broken neck was received in
the fall into the river when the man
leaped to his death, possibly from the
high bridge at Lyons.
