closer together, and each would profit
by the experience of others. From per-
sonal experience | am sure that every
such visit adds to your general knowl-
edge of the business. Every visit
have ever made to another flock gives
new ideas in breeding and feeding.
Your first few years should be spent
in building such a live flock as will
produce the very highest class Of
lambs. The first step is to get a few
ewes from the oldest and most reliable
breeder you know of, as these are the
only ones that will give you uniformly
good results, such as you desire. In a
couple of years you can tell which
ewes are not breeding just as you
would wish, and these can be discard
ed, as well as their lambs, if at all I'M
desirable. The lambs from the better
ewes should be kept in the flock as
breeders. Soon you have a most ex
cellent breeding flock, and that will be
the real foundation of your business.
Keep your best young ewes regardless
of what price may have been offered
you. America needs more steady
breeders in the sheep business who de-
sire none but the very highest class
obtainable. The common sort are in
enough hands, so when you start make
it your sole aim to have a flock SUI
perior to as large a per cent of the
others as is possible.
The better your sheep are the larger
will be the profits. When breeding
pure lreds do not huddle down in your
little nest and think that everything
will come to you. You must get out
and meet other good breeders and ex-
change ideas. The experience of other
breeders will assist you in breeding the
top notchers, and when you have once
placed your flock among the leaders of
the country there will be great de-
mand for the surplus of your flock. 1t
is great satisfaction to know that the
sheep you sell will be admired and do
well in any country to which they 60
The Porker.
The perfect mother punches her
brood in some corner and settles down
few feet from them.
Never select young boar with a
coarse, homely head, as results are
not apt to be satisfactory.
One acre of alfalfa in good growth
will pasture about fifteen 100 pound
shotes receiving a full feed of corn.
In selecting a hog never pick out
one that has very large bones, big,
round hind legs, under the impression
that the hog is strong and is going to
stand up. Simply because a hog has
got large bones is no criterion that
he will stand up.
Castrate the pigs when they are
three or four weeks old. Then they are
unusually active and the wound heals
quickly and is well before they are
weaned, causing no setback in the
pigs development.
Uowpea hay is very nutritious. 1t Is
nearly equal to wheat bran as part of
a ration. 1t is satisfactory for work
stock and for beef or milk production,
and it gives good results when fed to
poultry The grain is a rich feed, ex-
cellent for poultry, but little used for
other feeding.

SUCCESS

but DO it well, says a writer in the
Shepherds Criterion. A few ewes Of
undeniable breeding and correct indi-
vidual merit are more to be desired
than a larger number of inferior ones.
Books and articles have been written
on this subject and have done a great
deal of good in scattering practical
ideas among fresh minds, but your
best way to gather the most reliable
and practical information is to visit the
best breeder within any ordinary dis
lance by rail- Go and stay a day or so
and have a few hours conversation
with the breeder himself, and there you
can learn of practical ideas which
have given good results. both in feed
ing and breeding. By personal inter
view numerous things can be learned
which are hard to tell on paper.
No matter whether you are making
purchases or not, any large breeder
will be only too pleased to have you go
through his flock. If you are cOntem-

The people of Alabama showed
their good sense in adopting the
County Convict Road Law, and re-
futing the Constitutional Amend
ment providing for forming new
counties out of any proposed dis
trict of territory by consent of
the populace resident therein. That
is an unsound method of dealing
with new county questions: a
rouble-breeder, and what's worse
at this. stage of the South's histo-
ry, would recoil as a party boomer
ang, for in a little while, there
would wherever Northern col
onization has dotted spots of the
state adopting such a measure,
Republicans counties jump into
life. Would put a few Republican
members in the State Solons, where
they are not needed at present. Good
Old Alabama is long on remembering
the troublous legislative periods
following the war, occasioned by
party slips amongst the whites,
letting coons and Republicans into
power where race conditions still
indicate otherwise.

Every member of community
and especially every parent should
take deep interest in public
school. 1t is not enough to pay
your school tax with ut complain
ing, or to know that the teachers
arc qualified, nor is it even enough
to keep your children in school reg
ularly. If you are really interested
in the subject a you should be, you
should visit the school regularly
and persistentIy. Few people have
any idea what an incentive it is to
both teacher and scholar to know
that parents and outsiders are TAX
ing lively interest in their work.
Ne believe the little folks" at
school appreciate such interest
more perhaps than larger ones.
Still the effect is not lost on any of
them, and we hope every parent
will take hint from this and place
the public school on their visiting
list.

Another of those breezy and rem
iniscent articles from the pen of
Benz. F. Wulff of Stockton, Gala,
graces our columns this week. The
editor eagerly read and laughed
over this as he did the first one.
There is not a single dry paragraph
in the whole communication. On
behalf of our readers we bespeak to
Mr.. Wulf the high appreciation in
which his articles are held. Some
of the strongest and best compli-
ments have been paid to them, of any
thing we have run in the history OF
the paper. Read this one and a.

Crvstal Springs Meteor.

Crystal Springs Meteor.
The result of Tuesdays election
eliminates the distinguished Ne
braskan from further consideration
as a presidential possibility. He
made magnificent but losing fight
against odds that were insuperable.
When one considers what he stood
for one is almost forced to believe
that nothing short Of revolution
will overthrow the strongly in
trenched money power which has
dominated this country FOR twelve
years or more. And there are those
students of the trend of affairs who
affect to see the great upheaval in
the near future, possibly six or
eight years hence. What effect the
election will have on the Demo
cratic party remains to be seen.
Mr.. Mack says it is more united
and stronger than ever, but fails to
take note of the purchasable charac-
ter of the party in the North. No flu
ture reliance can be placed upon
such uncertain quantity in the e.
quation of notional politics. Wheth-
er the South will be absolved from
further affiliations with such an
incoherent mass remains for our
statesmen to determine.

A tragedy ranking with the Goe-
bel affair in Kentucky, the Gonzales
affair in South Carolina, both of a
few years back, -transpired on Mon
day in Nashville when Ex-senator
E. W. Carmack was shot down in a
street duel with Col. Cooper and
son. The Coopers were political
intriguers whom Carmack had crit
icised editorially the day before in
the Tennessean, the daily which he
had been editing since defeated for
Governor. There was a known dan
gerous feeling between the two
parties, and it seems that Cooper's
son came up in the affair merely to
do the work the father desired done.
The occurrence should never have
had this turn; it should have been
settled peaceably some way. Car
mack wounded young Cooper in the
exchange of shots, but was him
self shot to death, dropping on
the side walk and expiring. His
editorial stricturing Cooper was a
sizzling piece of writing, but not
of so virulent style as to envoke
the code deullo. The whole South
was shocked to read of the sud-
den end of the career of one of
its brilliant figures in political and
journalistic life. Carmack had
won reputation that reached O.
yer the nation and was regarded
as ranking high as statesman,
journalist, debater and orator.

Young Men and Marriage.

A young man meets a pretty face
in the ball room, falls in love
with it, courts it,marries it, goes
to housekeeping with it, and boasts
of having home and wife to
grace it. The chances are nine to
ten that he has neither. He has
been taken in and done for!" Her
pretty face gets to be an old story,
or becomes faded or freckled or
fretted, and as the face was all he
wanted, and all he paid attention
t., all he sat up with, all he bar
gained for. all he swore to love,
honor and protect, he gets sick of
his trade, knows of dozen pretty
faces he likes better, gives up stay
ing at home evenings, consoles him
self with cigars and politics and
looks upon his home as a very in
different boarding house.
Another young man becomes en-
amored of a fortune" He waits
upon it to parties, dances a polka
with it, exchanges billet doux"
with it pops the question to it,
gets accepted by it, axes it to the
parson, weds it, calls it wife. "
carries home, sets up an establish
ment with it, introduces it to his
friends and says he too is married
and has a home. 1t is false. He is
not married: he has no home. And
he soon finds it out. He is in the
wrong box, but it is too late to
get out of it; he might as we'll
try to get out of his coffin. His
friends congratulate him and he
has to grin and bear it.
If young man would escapes
these SAD consequences, let him shun
the rocks upon which so many have
been shipwrecked. Let him dis
regard wholly all considerations of
wealth, beauty external accomplish
ments, fashion, connection in socie-
ty, and every other mere selfish and
worldly end and look into the mind
and heart of the woman he thinks
of marrying. If he cannot love her
for herself alone that is for all
that goes to max up her character
as woman-lel him disregard ev-
cry external inducement, and shun
marriage with her as the greatest
evil to which he could be subjected.
And if he has in HIM a spark Of
yirtous. feeling. If he has one I'M
selfish and generous emotion-he
will shun such marriage for the
