FOR WOOL
~" AND MUTTON
How to Develop Good F1ock for
Double Purpose-B1ue Grass
Makes Best PerInan-
enk Pasture.
CRv z. G. HUGHES.)

To develop a good flock of breeding
sheep for wool and mutton l would
begin with the ewes that are half Cots
void and half Merino and mate them
with buck that is a full blooded
Shropshire.
In the cross you get a grade OF
sheep that is hard to beat for both
wool and mutton. By this method l
once got a twin lamb that sheared,
when little more than a year old,
16 pounds of good wool and when a
year and half old the carcass
weighed 160 pounds.
cross my sheep back and forth
as my judgment tells me is best. II
the sheep are getting too wrinkly and
the wool too short 1 get either Cots
void, Oxford or Shropshire buck, and
II the fleece is getting too hairy and
light in weight | breed back to the
Merinos.
In caring for the flock | prefer
green pasture for them, as many
months in the year as possible.
Blue grass makes the best perma
nent pasture. Dwarf essex rape car
be sown as soon as the ground will
work in the spring and if sown alone
five or six pounds of seed will be re
quired per acre.
Six or eight weeks after sowing il
will be ready for pasture which viii
last until freezing time.
A smaller amount of rape can be
sown with oats and after the crop i:
removed have an excellent fall pas
ture Sheep like rape, but would no
advise anyone to keep them on rape
alone.
Pumpkins are good feed for then

Power of Advertising.

Mainly through the efficacy of a
little advertisement in a Hartford
newspaper two long separated broth
ers have been reunited after the lapse
of sixty years. The principals in the
reunion are Rev. Or. Edgar F. Clark
of Providence, r. J., formerly of Taun
ton, and Edwin Clark of Butte, Mont,
who is now eighty-one years old. Early
in this year the western miner re-
tired from business and began to
think of his old home and his family.
Then he inserted the advertisement,
which was seen by some of his former
acquaintance and forwarded 20 the
clergyman at his summer home at
Martha's Vineyard

So, if you are a practical man, this
will decide your choice rather than
any fancied superiority of breeds.
The virtues of the different breeds
balance up pretty well any way
While Jerseys give richer milk. Hol
stems give more of it. One breed
eats less and another makes more
beef. It is well 10 study up all the
points and then decide according &c
your own needs and best judgment.

Corn Grain for Horses.

Corn grain when ground into meal
is by far too concentrated to feed
alone to horses. 1t lacks fiber and
ash to insure good digestion. There
fore, when the cob can be finely
ground it is an advantage for the rea
sons named. Certainly, ground corn
is better for horses than whole corn
as a saver of feed for them. The
horse cannot masticate the corn fine
enough so that the digestion gets al
the nutrients out of it, and much of II
will pass through the ailmentary canal
undigested, yet whole corn when fed
alone is a safer feed than ground
corn. The better way to feel corn is
to grind 1t with oats, two parts oats
to one of corn, or grind the corn and
mix coarse wheat bran with it equally

Strange as il may seem to say so.
here is no best breed of cows, chick
ems or anything else. 1t is true that
some breeds are better than others,
but when it comes to deciding among
the few best ones, much must be
left to individual preference and vary
ing circumstances and conditions.
When it comes to making a selec-
ton, it pays best to choose the breed
most prevalent in your vicinity. pro-
yided it is one of the best standard
breeds. This viii enable you to sell
your products to better advantage
and ship to better advantage. If your
community is known far and wide as
making a speciality of any certain
breed, buyers will come after them
and pay you better price II they

Scarcity of Timber.

Wood is becoming scarcer and
dearer every year. AS population in
creases we shall be obliged to use
more acreage in its sustentation. The
trees will be planted again on the wa

hold surplus water for use in times
of drought, as is done in older coun
tries. Your rivers then will be more
serviceable in summer and less dan
gerous in the spring time.

AD-ISMS.

Advertising is the insur-
ance which the shrewd
merchant carries to pre-
vent the disturbance OF his
business by the sudden ap-
pearance of a competitor
in his field. BY his adver-
Using he has led the people
to form the habit of buying
at his store. Habits are
not so easily broken up as
some may imagine. BY his
advertising he has also ex-
banded the volume OF ms
business, so that the ap-
pearance of a competitor
has less effect than it
otherwise might have. A
new competitor may be
able to get a few of the
merchants customers, but
cannot reach that great
mass of them who have
been patrons through years
as a result of his wide ad-
vertising.

cheered nightly when the colonel
before proceeding to his Taft reference
demanded that the national govern
ment be given the power to regulate
the manipulation of capital. He salu:
Two great railroads are now at work
on piece of construction work
where have no question the stock is
being honestly provided for and / be-
lieve a great mass of bonds will be
issued which will represent in effect
a bonus to certain big men who ought
to have something for what they have
done but who ought not to have any
thing like they will get"
Throughout the day the colonel
talked, it is estimated, to $4,000 peo-
pie, and the bearing of his audiences
touched him deeply. At the little
water tank of Alton, with a popula-
ton of $50 fully 500 people were gath
cred and for the three minutes while
the engine took water, the colonel
talked to the crowd. A huge, broad
faced farmer in his shirt sleeves
handed up to the colonel tiny pair
of hand carved wooden shoes, "a
tribute to your Dutch ancestry" he
shouted, 1--WE are from Holland, too,'
and as the train pulled out the colonel
could barely restrain himself when the
crowd shouted the Dutch salute OF
farewell "Oranje Bogen'
At one little town eight hundred
people had we'll trained group Of
shouters who yelled Whats the maG-
ter with the Elephant Tanner of the
G. o. Pr" and the answer came
back He's all right"
Throughout the day the colonel was
in typical Roosevelt frame of mind.
He joked with Seth Bullock, the long,
lank westerner whom he knew on the
plains and who is now United States
| marshal for South Dakota. He broke
UP his lunch to go out and talk to the
crowds in towns along the route. He
| piled all the party out of the train
at the South Dakota-Iowa line to have
group pictures made of the men who
made the trip and he insisted on
making the center of the group with
| the fireman of the train on his left
and the engineer on his right And
when the day was over he remarked
that 1t was the greatest day he had
had on the trip.
Here in Sioux Falls the colonel and
his party were paraded through town
| in long line of automobiles. He
was taken to an enormous tent where
some eighteen thousand people had
| gathered to hear him.
The crowd was wildly enthusiastic
and they shouted their approval of his
] tariff sentiments. Later in the even

is in a Sad
State.

A fiendish and partially successful
attempt was made at an early hour
yesterday to wreck the Burlington
Grand opera house with some ex-
plosive. Tho identity of the miscreant
who perpetrated the deed and the
motive for the same are engulfed in
mystery and conjecture offers no So
luton. 1t has been proven to the sat
isfaction of Chief of Police Hiltz and
Manager Scovill of the Grand that
the job was performed by some ex-
pert and that the explosion was caus-
on the floor of the stage in the center
and just back of the footlights. The
purpose of the perpetrator was evil
IDENTIFY to wreck the stage and audi
tcrium at the same time. The force
of the explosion tore a jagged hole
in the floor of the stage fully ten feet
in diameter, reducing the boards to
kindling wood and forcing the wreck
age downward into the cellar.
The conclusion shattered almost
every window in the house, Jared
down hundreds of yards of plastering
from the proscenium arch and the
ceiling in the front part of the thea
ire and created great havoc in the
proscenium boxes.
The damage is Of such extent that
it is necessary to cancel all dates for

dition to replacing every pane of glass
in the building, it will be necessary
to repair the hole in the stage, re-

decorate the entire theatre
