two things should be kept well In
mind. They must be Of a breed that
are noted for being quick to get on

they will require a great deal of at

they must be well wooled on the un-

much time about the shelter during
the winter months; they will require
much more hand feeding and be much
more likely to contract disease than
they would II they got out every day

In managing a flock of sheep II
should be remembered that q variety
Of feed is indispensable. When they
are on succulent feed, they should
have daily access to dry roughage:
when they are on dry feed they should
have occasional access to something
succulent. A little attention to this i'm
portant matter will prevent loss from
indigestion which has probably caused
greater losses among farmers flocks
than any other ailment. A field Of ma
tive prairie or Of bronze grass In which
there Is pile OF straw or q rack Of
hay to which they can go at will, In
order to get a change Of feed while
cleaning the summer fallow, and an
other field sown to winter rye early
in August, to which they can go oc-
casionally for succulent feed during
the winter and spring months. are all
that is necessary.
A word of caution may not be out
of place in this connection. Turning
hungry sheep on wet rye is very
likely to result In bloating. There
fore II the sheep do not have constant
access to the rye field, be sure that
their appetites are fairly well salts
fled and that all dew and raindrops
are dried of before the sheep are
turned In.
The present Is a favorable time to
secure foundation stock, because they
can still be purchased at moderate
prices. The sheep ranchers OF the
western states are reducing their
herds because Of scarcity of pasture.
and the large numbers going to mar
ket are keeping prices at a low level;
but once this reduction of herds stops.
prices will rise. They will probably
not soar as have the prices OF cattle
and horses. because the frozen NUT
ton of Australia and New Zealand
will be drawn on to prevent excessive
ly high prices, but the trade that re-
fuses to accept the frozen article Is
sufficiently large to permit OF a ma
terial advance in mutton prices. and
this advance is sure to take place as
soon as the big ranges have been de-
pleted.

II Is thus easy to understand how
Democratic tariff legislation will up
set prosperity. The matter is one OF
vital interest to the farmer because
In the Democratic tariff bills passed
by the house and vetoed by the presi-
dent, cereals were placed on the free
list. This means that all the grain
producing countries in the world, and
especially our neighbor upon the
northern border, would send in wheat
and corn and deprive the American
farmer of his market.
In 1892. when there was prosperity
under a Republican administration, a
majority of the people voted In favor
of a change and elected Grover Cleve-

will happen again. There will come

LITERALLY FAT
FOWLS IN FALL
0ver-Fed Hens Are Subject to
Serious Troublesome REM
edy Recommended.
CBy MRS. C. c. THoMAsJ

Most fowls are literally fat In the
fall. particularly those that have free
range because they pick up SO much
grain. weed seeds. grasshoppers and
bugs and as the grain In the field
ripens II Is a strong temptation to
over-feed the poultry.
Over-fed hens are subject to in
hammation Of the egg passage. and
this Is very serious trouble.
Feeding ground pepper or other
stimulating poultry feeds to force the
laying Is almost certain to produce
Inflammation. The so-called egg feeds
advertised are many Of them without
value. In fact they are harmful.
When the egg passage becomes
congested the hen may burst a blood
vessel In her efforts to expel the egg
and a few days later she will show
signs OF weakness. the comb will turn
dull. the temperature fall low and
the bird will die.
The first symptoms are the droop
ting Of the wings. roughing Of the
feathers and loss Of energy.
1t is a good plan to keep the pullets
and the old hens separated because
the hens fatten much quicker than
the pullets on the same feed.

nation of the egg passage, the egg
must be removed soon or the bird
will die. This may be accomplished
BY covering the finger with vaseline
and inserting II into the egg passage,
meanwhile pressing gently on the left
aide with the other hand.
Usually this will expel the egg and
then the passage should be washed
out with a weak solution OF carbolic
acid by means Of a small syringe. A
tablet Of homeopathic nux vomica-
l-l00 given in the water for two OF
three days will effect a complete cure
The hen must. of course. be fed very
lightly for some time until her fiesh

Another fact worth considering is
that the presence OF flock OF sheep
on a grain farm does not necessitate

The first step to be taken when

SIL0 REDUCES COST
OF FEEDING cows
Huge Tank Is One Of Best Means
for Producing Cheaper Feed
for Dairy Animals.

Raising cheaper feed is one of the
ways to Increase the profits on the
dairy herd. The dairyman's first con.
sideration Is to raise sufficient feed
to meet the needs of his cows, then
he will be concerned In raising II as
cheaply as possible. The question of
cheap feed. or cheap production of
any kind. has not entered into our
system Of farm practice as much as It
should. That is why SO many find
that farming does not pay; they are
like the merchant who pays ali of his
profits to clerks that are not efficient.
The fault is with the manager In both
cases.
The silo is one OF the means at
hand for producing cheaper feed. II
enables the dairyman or farmer to
save about 40 per cent Of the corn
plant and to convert the entire plant
into palatable. nutritious. succulent
feed for his animals. Then he may
raise hay. grain. etc. to balance the
ration. utilizing every means possible
to reduce the cost of feeding animals.
The silo should not be considered
as an expense. II Is an investment
that will pay dividends In saving the
cost Of feed and In supplying succu-
lent feed. keeping up the appetite of
the animals and saving time in feed
ing. The silo is one Of the several
ways OF reducing the cost OF keeping
animals and thus increasing the prof.
its In a corresponding degree.

CHINA'S RENEWAL OF CIVIL WAR.

China is long way off, and the best advices leave
many things vague as to developments in the huge
crisis through which the oldest and most populous
nation is working its way toward republicanism
But from the beginnings it has been reasonably clear
that Yuan Shi-Kai President of the new republic
was mistake. His ambitions have always been
those of the usurper his loyaltes those of Talley
rand, his methods those of Metternch. He repre-
sented the north of China, which had little of the
republican inspiration and forced into the Pres
idency because it was hoped that such distinction
would satisfy his overweening greed for power, and
induce him somewhat to accept the spirit of the new
order
1t has proved that misgivings which greeted his
accession were we'll founded. Treacherous unbrdled
reckless, he brought assassination as an aid in carry
ing out his purposes, he has done in other crises
of mis- career. Opposed to him was Sun Yat Sen,
seemingly the creates of this era in China the
who has enlisted the sympathy and support of
the western world, and whose influence has been
chiefly responsible for keeping the bankers amablc
and the chancelleries acquiescent in the purposes
of the Chinese reformers.
1t is rumored that Yuan has caused the murder
of Dr. Sun. If the story is not true it is not be-
cause Yuan wanted the willingness or the malevol-
ence to murder the man who made Chinese re-
public possible. If it is true, it will doubtless be
followed by an outbreak of frightful hostltes be-
tween the north and south, with most grave danger Of
the interposition of the powers and the partition of
China.
