THE FARM NEEDS SHEEP.
They Are Great Renovators of the
Soil-Try Few.

farmer who has long been keep
ing sheep and has observed their hab-
its of feeding says:
Sheep are oftentimes spoken of as
a nuisance by some people, but wise
land owners give them credit as be-
ing great renovators of rundown or
worn-out farms, and even call them
fertility conservers.
"They are the latter and more, too.
The life and habits of sheep make
them not only conservers of fer
tility, but distributors of 1t where
most needed, If given an opportunity.
Though sheep are averse to water
and always seek an elevation for
their resting place, they do like the
succulent growth, even through 1t be
weeds, found in the lowland of field
or pasture which has been enriched
by washings from the higher sura
rounding land.
These two peculiarities of sheep
once came under very particular OBJ
servation. When l turned some sheep
into clover field they at once sought
out the spots where the clover did
weeds or pigeon grass that had taken
possession of the spaces. They then
sought the weeds and succulent grass
in the low places and runs in the
fields, leaving the clover on the high
land, where most needed to enrich
the soil, untouched, only touching this
grass when practically everything
else had been eaten.
More than this, when night came
the sheep sought the higher portions
of the field for their resting place and
their droppings there deposited the
fertility gathered during the day from
the lower land, thus conveying back
what had been washed away through
the process of nature and cultivation.
A farm upon which sheep are kept
ought to be not only fertile, but also
evenly fertile, which is much de-
sired condition. Farms are very few
which cannot with profit keep sheep"

CATTLE KILLING DEVICE.

EFFECTS A LARGE SAVING.
New Two.cent Postage Rate to Britain
Means Much to People.

New York.-One result of the new
two-cent postage rate to Britain, &C.
cording to Postmaster Morgan, will
be the saving of 1880 a day to the
senders of letters.
On 10000 pieces of mail the differ
ence Of three cents on each piece rep
resents saving to the senders of
$1,000 a day. The yearly saving
amounts to $43S,OOO. 1t is estimated
that about 5000 pieces of mail for the
United Kingdom are daily sent by the
cities whose foreign letters do not
pass through the foreign branch here.
That increases the saving to all the
people of the United States to $3.50
a day of s492.750 a year.
Nobody has yet attempted to figure
the exact cost of carrying a letter
from San Francisco or from New
York to London. 1t would be prac-
tically impossible to fix the cost with
precision, as the proportionate amount
of labor devoted to the one letter by
the large number of men who handle
it, together with it's share of the mail
wagon, railroad and steamship trans
portation cost, would have to be fig
ured.
For this reason 1t is a question
whether the two-cent rate will be a
losing or profitable venture to the fed
eral government.

Keep Horse Collar Clean.

By allowing dirt and hair to collect
under the collar and remain there
from one day to another, sore Shout
ders are caused. Improperly fitting
collars will produce the same results.
Use none other than a perfect fitting
collar. II you do not understand fit
ting the collar take an experienced
man with you when you visit the har-
ness store. Always use good pad
one that contains no Jumps in the
padding or that has padding that can
not be easily detached and moved
into Jumps under the collar. Then
keep the shoulders clean. 1t is good
plan to wash the horses shoulders
every evening after removing the har-
ness. The application of cold water
not only cools the fevered skin, but it
also hardens the flesh SO 1t can resist
a greater pressure the next day.

LYDIA e. PINKHAM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received SO many gen.
uine testimonials as has Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia e. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
flied by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any nydaymay
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health.

SMALL CHANCE FOR TAFTS
PHILIPPINE SUGAR TARIFF

I of bill by it. Senator Culberson in
attempting to play petty politics in

That ultimate justice will be accord
! ed the Filipinos, however, is a foregone
conclusion. Secretary Taft will not sur
render. Apropos of his plan to give at
least partial free trade to the islands
with respect to their commerce with
the United States, | am able to present
some specific details of his policy that
are not generally known. There has
been considerable misrepresentation as
to What the American official who has
given the most studious attention to
the whole Philippine problem seeks to
accomplish. Contrary to a widespread
belief, Secretary Taft does not wish to
build up immense tobacco and sugar
growing industries in the Philippines;
all he wants is the establishment of
these industries on the same plane they
occupied before their previous markets
were curtailed.
The Secretary of War does not want
the people of the Philippines to be
brought into the same situation as the
people of Cuba. He realizes that if
the islands be given over to tobacco
and sugar the industries will come I'M

couragement of sugar and tobacco cul-

of farming it is planned to encourage

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-After con
sidering the matter from all sides tn,
administration has about reached tn,
conclusion not to press for Philippin,
| tariff legislation at the present session
of Congress. The cards have been too
well stacked against the administration
in the Senate. The sugar interests are
too thoroughly intrenched there on the
one hand, and the Democrats, fol
political reasons, have shown their in
tention of refusing to assist the Re
publicans who are friendly to the re-
dueed schedules project, despite their
general revision and free trade pro-
testations.
his visit to the eastern archipelago
more fully convinced than ever of the
wisdom and justice of granting the
Filipinos relief from the burdens which
the present tariff wall imposes upon
them, but he finds conditions prevail
ing here which would make the fight
losing one. The administration as
a whole is pretty well convinced that a
losing fight this winter would not help
matters year or so later.
A little while back it was thought
an agreement could be reached with
the sugar interests in the form of a
compromise to limit the amount of
sugar to be imported from the Philip
pines to 100000 tons. 1t was believed
the sugar trust and the beet sugar in
terests would accept this proposition
in preference to waiting for action
when general tariff revision is taken
up as contemplated, next spring or
summer.
The proposition was put up to Ok
nard, the sugar magnate, by advocates
of the administration policy, but ac-
ceptance was refused. Oxnard seems
to have the controlling hand so far
as the Senate is concerned. If he
would not fight the Senate would act
favorably. With it settled that he
would fight and the Senate minority,
under the leadership of Culberson of
Texas, proposing to interpose obstacles
to action. effort is useless.
1t may be said here that the admin
istration does not blame the standpat
and beet sugar Republican senators for
the situation so much as it does the
Democratic leaders, who are the ones
who packed the Philippines committee
so as to prevent favorable consideration
