EWES m COLD WEATHER.

Shelter and Grain Keep Them In
Thrifty Condition.
The average man is apt to neglect
his breeding ewes at the beginning Of
winter. Usually they are kept out too
long. Their ability to pick close per-
mits them to fill up on the frozen, in
nutritious heritage, and they look well
when they really are losing flesh every
day, writes T.. +. Snyder in the Nation
al Stockman
They especially need shelter at this
time. 1t often takes weeks to repair
the loss Of flesh and condition caused
by one cold rain that soaks them to
the skin, especially If the rain Is fol-
lowed by a high wind as it is quite apt
to be at this inclement season.
Hay this season is scarce and I'M
usually high In price. Sheep will be
largely wintered on straw, stalks and
a range where one is available, supple
mented with a liberal allowance of
grain. for hay is now selling at about
the same price per ton as ear corn.
But it is mistaken economy to with
hold hay from the breeding ewes at
the beginning of winter. A little good
clover or mixed hay should be fed
every day till they become accustomed
to dry feed. They can much better be
made to live on coarser and cheaper
r~oughness later IN the winter. when
accustomed to dry feed.
Many feed no grain to their breed
ing ewes till well toward spring. This
is a mistake unless only a few are
kept together and they have consider
able range or extra care and plenty Of
good hay. Kept In locks Of consid-
cradle size there are usually some that
are not as thrifty as they should be,
They get thin in flesh and as soon as
they get grain they begin to thrive
and at the same time shed their wool.
This gives the flock a disreputable APP
peatance and the wool a weak fiber
that makes 1t what buyers call ''unde-
sirable."
/ believe ewes can be as cheaply win
tered IL a little grain Is fed every day
right from the start every year. and I
know they can this year, taking into
consideration the high price Of hay.
No stock seems to appreciate a va
riety of feed as much as the sheep.
Frequent changes Of both grain and
roughness seem to interest them. 1t
stimulates their appetites and hence
induces to thrift. For grain we feed
corn and oats Of about equal bulk. salt
regularly twice a week and have water
accessible all the time.

Blunt to Mitchell Railroad

The new proposed line of railroad
that is to connect Mitchell with Blunt
is progressing rapidly and the pro-
motors have every assurance that the
work will be far enough along by early
spring to start the construction. This
road IS being promoted by the land
owners, each of whom contracts to pay
In 500 per quarter section il the road
Is run within eight miles of the land.
AT the presen time over 95 per cent
OF the resident owners have signed
contracts and with the proper cooper
alton of the non-residents the road will
be an assured tact. The promoters
have just commenced to send out the
contracts to non residents and to date
have met with fine success, having
received every contract all signed up.
With a fair degree of success for the
next sixty days, there will be enough
subscribed to make the road an
assured fact. The line will pass
through Buffalo. Jerauld, Hyde and
parts of Dawson and Hughes counties
and will be about l25 miles long.

S. G. Lutz, traffic manager of the

announced in Minneapolis Friday, that
the road will haul seed grain Of any
kind, to whCever consigned. in the

opinions were handed down in the
GLOWING eases
BY Whiting: G.. c. Briggs vs. S. v.
Christ, mayor, and the city council Of
the town Of Miller, Ia this case the
lower court Was reversed. The ques-
uon at ISSUE was whether or not the
town had voted for license last year.
The vote was so close that the few
disputed ballots carry the question
either way. The lower court held that
license had carried, and on that decis-
ion, saloons have been in operation
since last July. But the supreme
court has reversed the lower court, and
holds that licence did not carry, which
will end the legal saloon in that town
until another vote can be had at the
regular spring election.

Cattle Bring Good Prices

More than 1000 men attended the
closing sale of the animals offered in
the show of the Improved Live Stock
association at Mitchell last Thursday,
when the cattle were disposed of at
very good prices. Forty-one head
were placed on the block, and they
brought the aggregate of SO, $50.
Twenty-one heifers sold for Sli425.
The Shorthorns brought the top price,
when Geo. Watson, of Mitchell,
bought a bull for $34750 The animals
as a rule brought better prices than
were expected, as some of them were
thin in flesh and did not present an
inviting appearance.
At the business session the stock
breeders agreed to amalgamate with
the corn growers in forming a coalition
for the bringing together of all the
kindred interests in the stock and grain
business. There was much opposition
to the movement at first, but when it
was learned the stock men would be
benefited by getting the opportunity
TO attend the corn show, they fell in
with the plan.

Anent Fort Meade

The South Dakota and Nebraska
delegations in Washington are wrought
up over the recommendations contained
in the report submitted to congress by
Secretary of War Stimson that Fort
Mead and Robinson should be aban-
doned. Secretary Stimson states that
neither for is longer needed for mill
tary purposes. He recommended the
immediate abandonment of Fort Meade
and urges that no further improve
ments be made at Fort Robinson.
Discussing the recommendation as to
Fort Meade, Representative Martin
said the report was based upon a
memoranda prepared by Gen. Wood,
chief Of staff.
Continuing Representative Martin
said:
"Gen. Wood apparently fails TO con-
slider the strategic position Of Fort
Meade, situated ia the center Of the
remaining Indian reservations. Within
easy access of Fort Meade and on all
sides Of it are grouped large Indian
reservations with a population Of some
thing like 40, 900 Indians. For this
reason Meade should be retained as a
cavalry post for many years to ONE
Besides statistics show that Meade is
the healthiest army post. 1t has its
own independent water supply for
which the government has recently
expended 500, 900. The other improve
ments there are up to date, involving
during the past six years an expendi-
ture Of more than 81, 900, 900. These
facts will be considered by the house
committee on military affairs. Upon
the merits of the case ! expect that
fort Meade will be retained as a depart
ment of the permanent military
establishment. Meade was located
entirely because of army necessity,
without any political influence, and
has been built up always upon esti-
mates made by the war department as
10 the necessities of the service"

Would Have Own Organization

Residents of Bennett county, which
with Mellette county, was opened to
settlement last summer, after having
been Withdrawn from the Pine Ridge
Indian reservation, have prepared
petitions to Gov. Vessey asking that an
election be called for the purpose of
organizing the county. The organiza-
ton election will be fixed probably for
some time in April. Bennett county is
attached to Fall River county for
judicial and taxation pu rposes. Dis
satisfied with the taxation by the
authorities of Fall River county, Ben
nett county men have decided to go
ahead with the organization of Ben
nett county so they can manage their
own affairs. The selection of a county
seat means a fight between several
aspiring towns.

THE COLT IN WINTER.

Liberal Feeding Needed to Make a
First Glass Horse.
When the colt is weaned at the age
of six or sever months he comes to a
critical period in his life. Whether he
shall make a profitable horse or not
depends on the treatment he receives,
says the Iowa Homestead. While
sucking he has no doubt learned to
eat grass, hay and grain. When he Is
taken away from the mare he must
subsist on a grain and hay ration
alone. IL he Is allowed only what he
has been getting the deprivation of
the milk from his mother will cause
him to lose flesh. Although he may
not have received much milk from the
mare the last month Of the ~lactation
period, 1t has been very rich and nour-
ishing.
Therefore 1t is necessary when wean-
ing the colt to give 1t a liberal ration
of grain and hay. AS the colts di-
gestive organs are not as strong as
those of an older horse, the grain
should be ground. Bran, oats and
corn chops mixed to a proportion of
one-third each will be a splendid feed
for the colt. A quart and n half at a
feed will be a fair ration if plenty OF
good hay is given. Glover, alfalfa and
timothy mixed will furnish a variety

If one of your working horses loses

County Commissioner Suicides

A well dressed man, shot through
the head, was found Thursday along
the bushes about thirty feet from the
Kersey Coates drive, between Eleventh
and Twelfth streets, Kansas City, Mo.
Two feet away from him was a revol
yer, with one empty shell in it.. An
Identification card in his pocket gave
the name of Thomas Edwards, Yank-
ton, S. ID.
A message has been sent to the
Eagles lodge, of Yankton, of which
the Identification card showed the
owner to be a member. No reason for
suicide, however, has been learned.
The body vas found by B. A. Wald-
ron, 707 East Ninth ttreet, who is
employed by the park board. The man
had evidently been dead four or five
hours. He appeared TO he about as
years old and prosperous. He regis
tered at the convention hotel, Twelfth
and Broadway, Tuesday, Jan. 80, and
left there Wednesday.
Thomas Edwards, who was found
dead in Kansas City, Mo, was county
commissioner for Yankton county and
was for many years a well known citi-
zen of Yankton.
Edwards mysterously disappeared on
Sunday, Jan. q, and for a week all
efforts to find a trace of him were
futile. Early Sunday morning he
reappeared. but left town in a few
hours and no word was received
