mo YOU KNOW just what your cotton and corn
need, and are you furnishing it in such quantities
- as required and in such shape that the
plant can use it?
Suppose you should put the food for your stock in a
box nail and place it i'll their trough-woud you ex-
pect them to thrive and grow fat?

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
The Advantages Of Sheep.

One advantage of sheep over other
stock is in the lengthening of the pas
ture season and shortening of the feed
ing season at the barn. If sheep are
taken up during cold storms they will
get to pasture nearly month earlier
than cows and remain out full month
later in the fall They may need grain
during a portion of this extended Pc
Rod, but it makes marked difference
in the fodder eaten The sheep will be
more healthy for this treatment, and
the work in caring for them during the
extra period is less than would be re-
quired in the barn.
Sheep require the most attention in
winter, when the farmer has the most
time to spare from farm operations.
There is less liability to loss from dis
ease or injury and less money invest
ed in implements and machinery than
in any branch of dairying. One trip to
market will carry the years wool prod
uct, and one trip will take the lambs to
the car or butcher. The care of sheep
is an Interesting and fascinating bust
ness and can be enjoyed by the most
refined

The FATTENING
OF YOUNG DUCKS.
Feeding Methods Employed by
Majority Of Breeders.

The feeding of young ducks has been
reduced to science by those engaged
extensively in the business. The feed
ing methods adopted by nearly all of
the large breeders are very much alike,
only varying i'll few minor points.
The following formulas are used:
During the first ten days the ducks
are fed mixture of four parts wheat
bran, two parts cornmeal, two parts
bread or cracker crumbs by measure
and about per cent sifted sand or fine
ground oyster shells. Begin feeding a
small amount of beef scrap during the
latter part of this period. Feed four
or five times daily. From ten days to
four weeks old feed two parts corn
meal, two and one-half parts wheat
bran, one and one-half parts red dog
-four and three-fourths part beef scrap
by measure.
At six weeks % age start feeding a
fattening food composed of six parts
cornmeal, two and one-half parts bran,
one part red dog flour and one to one
and one-fourth parts beef scrap Feed
three times daily. About one-eighth
of the first feed in the morning should
be fine ground oyster she'll or clean
sifted sand, and from the tenth day
to the finish feed about one-third as
much charcoal as oyster shell about
twice week. Ducks fed in this way
should be ready for market at eight
to ten weeks of age The food should
always be mixed with warm water in
winter and cold water or milk in sum-
mer, making crumbly mash OF
course clean water must always be
provided for drinking, but 1t is not
necessary to furnish enough water for
the ducks to swim in.A Rural New

Hiram W. Johnson. the insurgent Re
publican who was nominated for gov
ernor of California at the recent pri-
mary elections, is an exponent Of anti
machine doctrines and foe of political
bossism. In his campaign Mr.. John
son was assisted by Clifford Pinchot,
and at the polls the stalwarts were
overwhelmed. Johnson travelled 10000
miles in the course of his campaign
and made speeches in nearly every
county of the state.
The new Republican leader is a young
and vigorous man and is said to resem-
BILE Colonel Roosevelt in some of his at
titudes, though he is smooth shaven
and is several years the junior of the
former president He was formerly
city attorney Of Sacramento, where he
was instrumental in cleaning the
town" He was also connected with
the prosecution of Abe Ruef in San
Francisco.
Mr.. Johnson boldly proclaims himself
an insurgent, likens the present strug-
gle in America to the conflict against
privilege in the time of the French rev.
olution and emphasizes the necessity
of asserting the will of the, people
against the dictation of monopoly.

HUMOR OF THE DAY
A Surprise by the Sea.

1t was night. The moon was shining
brilliantly in the heavens, casting a
golden light upon the beach. In the
far distance one could hear the shrill
whistle of the evening train approach

guests of the famous Wavecrest House
were gathered on the piazza awaiting
the coming week enders who would
shortly appear. Mabel. a radiant vi

hand had that day been promised, and,

all was merry as marriage bell. Soon
up the broad driveway approaching
