sheep and Fertility.

+ . u ID LII
Sheep. when properly managed, are
the most eficient live stock on the
farm to restore fertility to the soil
and. at the same time leave both the
soil and the fertilizer In the best pos
sible condition to promote rapid
growth. 1t has been my experience
and observation that sheep improve
the mechanical condition Of the soil
more than any other kind of live
stock. As general rule, farmers are
coming to believe that the pasturing
Of heavy live stock. such as the horse
and dairy and beef cattle. has ten.
dency to compact tillable soils and
make much more difficult to till, and
besides injure their physical and me-
chanical conditions.
This is not true with sheep. IN the
.first place they are not classed among
heavy live stock Their tramping over
the surface Of the soil does not have
the detrimental influence Of the horse
or COW. In fact, am inclined to
believe that sheep decidedly improve
the physical and mechanical condi-
ton Of the soil by their constant
tramping because their small hoof has
tendency to loosen the surface soil;
and induce the formation Of shallow
mulch that in no way Injuries the
growth and development of the forage,
but assists In the formation Of a
blanket to the soil that materially
aids in the conservation Of soil mois-
ture.
! have observed on my farm, where
sheep have been pastured alongside
Of cattle In adjoining fields. that the
pasture upon which the sheep grazed
possessed a deeper green appearance
during the summer months than that
upon which the cattle were pasturing.

TT is a wondrous advantage to a la in every pursuit or avocaion, to secure
- cay of tacta n a plain oundness of judgment which are rarely CON
bned to an equal degree in mar. A woman, if she be really your friend, will
have a ems of regard for you character, honor, repue She will seldom
counsel you to do a shabby thing, for a woman friend always desires to be
proud Of you. At the same m her institution tmidiy makes her more
cautious than your male FRIEND. She, therefore,, seldom counses o tod do n
lmprudent thing. BY female friendships mean pue frhndships-those in
state. A mans best female friend is a wife OF good sense and good heart whom
he loves. and who loves him. If he have that he need not seek elsewhere
But supposing he man 20 be without sch a helpmate, female friendships he
must still have, or his intellect will b. without a guardian and there will be
many ar unheededg gap ven in its strongest fence. Better and safer, of course,
such friendships when disparries o yearso or circumstances VI h idea of love

younger than ourselves. Female friendship, indeed, is tt nan pre-
sdum ct duIce decus"-the buIwark AM sweet ornaments of his existence
To his mental culture it is invaluable; without it all his knowledge of books
will never give him knowledge Of h world. 81

fleet before landing. In this age of wireless telegraphy and quick
communication it would be absolutely impossible for an army to
be embarked in Europe, to be conveyed across the ocean by a
warship feet, without ample warning and time being given to
concentrate our navy for defense. Therefore, before a hostile
force could effect a landing it would have to fight and conquer
our entire Atlantic naval strength, and the hostile warships
would be greatly hampered by the necessity of guarding the I'M
mense convoy of troopships, while the American warships would
be entirely unhampered. The point aimed at by the invaders
would also be made evident long enough for troops to bA hurried
thither from all parts of the United States, and in the operations
of defense American rifle skill would have effective play. Among
the least of the possibilities of the future is an invasion of the
United States from Europe, while we can dismiss all fears as to
our northern and southern borders and the Pacific frontier. But
a wise nation always prepares for the unforeseen.

previous year was $3OOOOOOO0. The mind is unable to grasp
these figures. And this is actual, not speculative or paper
wealth. 1t represents dollars and cents, and is represented by
the dollars and cents the crops sell for. Money is only a token
of value. The value lies in that which the money buys. Crop
values are substantial gain. Real estate, stock investments, etc,
may flourish or may fade, but the value of the farm products re-
mains a concrete fact.

Newport People Not Very Lucky

Of the several hundred people from
this vicinity who registered for the
Couer d'Alene land drawing but one
proved to be lucky enough to make a
drawing that is considered valuable.
Carl 0. Wall, who operates the free
ferry for Bonner county, drew No. 152.
AS there are said to be 1900 claims on
the reservation Mr.. Wall stands good
chance to get valuable homestead. W.
W.Porter was the only other Newportite
lucky enough to get in on the first three
thousand and his number, 1892, is so
far down the line that there is no prob
ability that it will have any value. H.
u. Kirk patrick, prosecuting attorney OF
Stevens county, was No. 155.
1sador Selig, of Myrtle, Oregon, was
the lucky winner of the first chance to
file on the reservation. A great many
Spokane people are among the lucky
ones, and doubtless many have drawn
good numbers who never had real inten-
ton OF proving up on the land and will
let the opportunity go by default.

OBITUARY..

At her home near Blanchard. Idaho,

the death of Mrs. Eugene Maine after a
lengthy illness with Bright's disease.

A Tartar Courtship.

Among the Tchulian Tartars a curl
Gus mode Of popping the question"
exists. The Tchulian bachelor in
search of wife, having filed brand
new pipe with fragrant tobacco,
stealthily enters the dwelling Of the
fair one upon whom he has bestowed
his affections, deposits the pipe upon
conspicuous article Of furniture and
retires On tiptoe to some convenient
hiding place in the neighborhood, local
etiquette requiring that he should ex-
ecute this strategic movement appar-
emily undetected by the damsel of his
choice or any other member of her
family. Presently he returns without
further affectation Of secrecy and looks
into the apartment in a casual sort of
way. A single glance at the pipe he
left behind him enables him to learn
the fate of his proposal. If it has been
smoked he goes forth an accepted and
exultant bridegroom; If not, the offer
Of his hand and heart has been so ir-
revocably rejected as not to be even
worth pipe of tobacco.

S,4r diamond.

While Pitt, the grandfather Of Lord
Chatham, was governor Of Fort St.
George In 1893 he became acquainted
with a jewel merchant named JAM
chund, who brought diamond Of
great size for sale. He asked 10000
for it in the rough. 1t should, Of
course, have been bought on behalf Of
the company, but Pitt, seeing money
in It. could not resist the temptation
of making Il private bargain. He be-
came the possessor of the stone for
the sum of f2O,4 400, and he was quite
satisfied that he had behaved honor
ably when he paid the man, who on
his part was also content. But the
diamond was known to be worth more
than Jamchund had received, and the
transaction gave rise to a good deal
of gossip, which in no way decreased
when later on Pitt had the stone cut
in England and sold it to the regent Of
France for f135,00O. Even that enor-
nous sum did not represent it's true
value The stone was set in the royal
crown Of France. 1t weighed 40
carats in the rough, but the cutting re-
duced it to 1876 carats.-Mrs. Penney's
