mae flowed in a seemingly endless
stream of blue along Pennsylvania ave-
nue., led by the bearded scholarly
Meade. Today Sherman is parading
his veterans of the combined armies of
the Tennessee and the Cumberland and
Georgia, says the Washington Star.
President Johnson and the brilliant
array of notable figures stand in the
reviewing stand in front of the White
House. Save for the lane left for the
troops no foot of available ground is
mtenanted. Massed humanity swarms
and swirls wherever the eye can reach.
The blare of trumpets, the lifting mu-
sic of military bands in the distance,
the echo of reverberating cheers mingle
with the excited chatter of the nearby
mob
Here they Gomez shrieks boy as
group of prancing horses swing
around the Fifteenth street "jog" and
come into view, and then the cry is re
peated until it rises into an inarticu
late roar of cheers.
On they come. Abreast the stand
the slim and bearded General Sher-
man and his cavalcade Of staff swing
out of line and dismount to take their
places on the reviewing platform.
Hard upon their heels comes another
cavalcade in the center Logan, his

FARM METHODS OF

Good shelter and plenty Of fresh wa

a Missouri correspondent Of thu Farm

Give me good sheep shed, TIE right
kind Of open lots and plenty 6f fresh
water, and I believe can winter sheep
easier than any other anima on the
farm. During the month and half
Of deep SHOWS, cold weather and cold
rains the warm sheep SHED has saved
much feed. Give them warm shed,
and it will not take nearly SO much
grain and hay.
I know a good many men who seem
to think that any kind Of an old shed is
good enough for their sheep They will

That is very bad for the sheep. The

days for them to dry out As long as
they are wet to the skin the sheep are
in fine shape to come down with an
attack Of sort Of bronthitis that kills
as quick as pneumonia.

In culling out the undesirables much
care should be taken to see that all
barren ewes. ewes that are poor milk:
ers or ewes that have spoiled udders
go to the market. Many times a big.
fat eve Is the most handsome in all the
flock. and the owner hates to sell her
because she looks good. which is prin.
cipally on account Of her high condi-
ton. Such ewes are drones in the
dock and parasites on the feed bin. A
eve that is thin may be SO because she
has raised her lamb we'll. She certain.

with those that are to remain. BY the
time the breeding season is at hand she

FOR STATE SUPERINTENDENT

tor of consolidated, graded and
rural schools has made Formal
announcement of his candidacy
for States superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction. Professor McDon-
aid has served five years as in
spector of rural schools and has
done remarkable good work along
these lines. He has had nearly a
quarter of century's experien-
ces in school work in North Da-
kota and has made rural schools
and their problems life study.
He is probably the best informed
educator in the state on rural
school conditions and rural school
requirements. AS IS per cent of
the work of the state supermten-
dents office is concerned with the
rural school and its first cousin,
the school in the small country
town. Professor Mcdonald points
out in his public statement that
he feels that he is qualified for
the position. He travels thousand
of miles annually through the ru-
raj districts of the state and is
familiar not only with the .edu-
cational requirements of the far
mer and the fradesman or mer-
chants living in a small town but
with their social and economic
needs as we'll. He will make his
campaign On the issues Of better
rural schools and the bringing Of
the state superintendent office
more closely in touch with them.
