uneven tags may be exposed and cut
down.
After the back is worked to the
mans satisfaction he goes to the sides,
trimming either straight up or down
and only as far up or down as he can
make fiat surface. This in wether
gives square block to the body and
that neatness of middle that delights
both the judges and the butchers eye.
The rump is carried back nearly rec
tangularly, the dock squared to show
width and plumpness and the leg Of
mutton made fat behind and on the
sides to increase its apparent meath
ness. The animal in general way
then approaches the ideal block.
However. the head. forequarters and
space between back and side vet
remain. The belly is only touched to
remove low hanging tags. and the next
operation is to round in the space on
the body yet untouched. As little as
possible is removed here, as the most
width the animal can have should be
maintained. The shoulder vein. bris-
ket and neck are left plump and full,
only the outer 6bers being evened.

THE FEEDER.

The best feeds for sheep are clover,
alfalfa, sorghum, cowpeas. corn fod-
der, oat straw, turnips and beets. All
Of these used in connection with light

healthy sheep.
1884, Bran For Lambs.
While bran is not especially desir-
able for fattening sheep, it is quite
satisfactory for lambs. provided it is
not used too freely. 1t, however. can
be used to better advantage for dairy
animals and even for horses.

taken the matter to court and through
his own alertness they had lost their

that the matter was settled.
Some weeks later he strolled down
to the mooted grove. He was sitting

sound to the left-the sound as Of

Next evening, after a busy day at the

He had tactful little speech all pre-

the girl, the speech took sudden wings.

However, Hills was a persistent
mortal, and thereafter he went daily to
the Grays'. ostensibly to argue with
the girl about accepting the grove, but
in reality he knew it was something
utterly different that took him on his
daily errand.
"Now. why" said the girl one even

One fact stands forth from among
the masses CT assertions and deridls-
that the election of Theodore Z. Bur
ton as senator from Ohio will record
victory Of brains and high character
over mere monetary considerations.
Charles T. Taft, half brother Of Prcsi-
dent Elect Taft, of Cincinnati was con-
sidered fer the Office solely because lie
has immense sums ot money. Sepa-
rated from his filthy lucre, he would
stand forth travesty on approximate
~ ideal senatorial timber. Had he
never possessed large wealth, never in
n thousand years would he have been
seriously thought of fer that position.
1t is true that his blood relationship to
the president elect constituted some
added strength to his candidacy. but
primarily his wealth. his record Of get
ting more wealth to add to that which
he inherited. made him an element in
the Ohio senatorial contest.
Stated brutally, yet truthfully
Charles 2. Taft sought to collect from
the Republican party an account he
held, which, according to his political
ethical concepts, should be paid.
might quote from an imaginary book
ON political philosophy which Charles
p. Taft (neverl wrote:
"Unitcd States senators should be
chosen from among the wealthy mer
who contribute most heavily to cam
paign funds. Such men both are emit
tied to election to senatorships ana
make the best senators. Senatorship:
should be put up at auction, the high

ceptions, etc, have no place in thu

posite Of feelings with which people in
other states view these proposals from
certain Oregon politicians to riot in
dishonor, and do not eXaggerate
when l assert that that state will re-
cover very long hence from the blot on
its good name-which, by the way,
had been completely remade in she
past few years-if it carries into eyecu-
ton this Reputation plan.
So closely knit are the states in
these later years that often such mat
tiers become quite as national as state.
1t is true this time.
Pledges Must Be Redeemed.
From my advices I judge repudia-
ton will not be adopted as Oregon's
new foundation principle for the pO-
litical structure she 10 building. That
structure in many respects has chal-
lenged the admiration of the nation.
1t is fashioned along new lines, yet
retains every essential from the old
which made for real popular govern
ment. 1t has appealed to the imagina-
ton, inspired the hope of those who
would make for the uplift of our ma
tional politics.
The CRATER has been put to rout.
The Subcellar worker has been drag
ged forth into the sunlight. The de-
spoiler Of election machinery has been
disarmed. The people have been en-
throned.
These things have been achieved 1t
is unthinkable that deliberately. with
malice afoyethought, there is to be re-
turn to the old ways, with their accom-,
panying debauchery and mixing of
senatorship elections with every legis-
lative proposition of a session.
If the Oregon legislature shall have
| honored those pledges, all over this
broad land will be deep content aud
