SHEEP ANU WOOL NOTES.
Healthy sheep like healthy people have
clean teeth; '
By breeding ewes early this month yen
will get lambs in March.
Field and Farmer says: Sheep for
mutton purpose sell at the best figure
when they weigh from 100 tn IIS pounds.
A farmer is not more than half a farm
er it he does not keep sheep. Ubeep
keeping is getting on the right basis, as
we are making flesh first and wool last.
It is the man who has been ateadily
in the sheep business for a series of
years who oan count a profit on the
bneiness. Spasmodio sheep husbandry
ever pays.
Eight-nine fleeces were opened before
a newspaper in Grand Rapids, Mich.,
the other day, and every one of them
contained something besidfB wool to
make the weight heavier.
A North Dakota correspondent asks if
it is necessary or eipedient to grind
grain or wheat screenings for sheep. It
is not. Sheep grind their food very fine
and seem to do better when allowed to
tbetr own grinding.
The aggregate value of sheep in the
United States is given at (8,000,000 more
than last year. This alone ia sufficient
indication that farmers are awakening
to the importance of this branob of our
stock industry.
Salt is one of the most healthy ad-
junots to the feeding places of sheep.
Tbey should have oonstant scoecs to it,
and it will go a long way towards pro
ducing that healthy oondition which
serves to ward off disease. Salt is also
more or less poisonous to worms.
8WJNE NOTES.
A thrifty pig should gain at least one
and half pounds a day. 1
Save some Hubbard squashes for the
bogs for winter "greens."
Have yon pumpkins this full? Feed
them to pigs aa well as milch oows.
Push the fattening hogs so as to mar
ket them before the weather gets too cold
Damaged graia fermented' food often
induces disease and should never be fed.
The reoeipts of bogs in Kansas City
for September fell off thirty-five per
oent.
The common notion that pig breeding
requires no special knowledge, skill or
care, is very wide of the mark.
The French government has placed a
duty of 23 francs for 300 pounds on
American dry salt and mess pork.
Finely grained meat and small offal
are the marks of well-bred pigs. Small
heads, small bonen, long book;; deep ribs,
short legs and well rounded hams,
Good brood sows will readily bring two
litters of pigs in a year, one early in the
fall and the other early in the spring.
But if tbey do this they should be given
good care. -
Young boars not intended to be kept
for breeding should be castrated by the
time tbey are six weeks old. At this
time the operation should be performed
before cold winter.
Hogs are cot wanted as heavy as
formerly and never will be wanted again,
thcroch, ut coarse, -there will always be a
limited demand for the broad, fat backs
that can only be made by age and lots
of feed.
Field and Farm (Colo.) says: Clean
up the pork barrels and have them ready
for "killing time " Boald them with lye
or wood ashes an . water, burn tbem out
with, a light fire built inside, or fumigate
them with burning sulphur. The latter
processes are necessary if the barrels have
contained spoiled or tainted meat.
CATTLE ITEMS.
The Alturas (Cat.) Herald says: Most
of the beef cattle bave been sold in this
vicinity, and tbe stock raisers report
good prices for their sales.
The Fall River Mail says: J. F. Bow
man brought in 200 steers last week that
will be fattened and turned off to the
butchers.
The Los Banson Enterprise snys : The
following is tbe shipment of live stork
from Los Banson for the mouth of Oct.,
which is by no means all that is nUirfped
from here: Cattle, 4H6, calves, 414, hour
67.

Today.
By the president of the United States
A proclamation. It is a verv glad in
cident of the marvelous prosperity whioh
bus crowned the year now drawing to a
close that its helpful and reassuring
touch has been felt by all our people. It
has been as wide as our country, and so
special that every home has felt its com
forting influence. It is too great to be
tbe work of man's power and too particn
lar to be tbe devioe of bis mind. To
God,' the beneficent and Bitwise, who
makes the laEors of man to bo fruitful.
redeems their losses by his grace, Bud
the measure of whose giving is as much
beyond his deserts, tbe praise and grati
tude of the people of this favored nation
are justly due.
Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison,
president of the United Hates of Amer
ica, do hereby appoint Thursday, the
26th of November, to be a day of joyful
thanksgiviug to God for tbe bounties of
his providenoe, for the day in which we
are permitted to, enjoy them, and for
the preservation of these institutions of
oivil and religious liberty which he gave
our fathers the wisdom to devise and
establish and ns the oourage to pre
serve. Among the appropriate observ
ances of rest from toil, worship in pub
lio congregation, renewal of family ties
about our Amerioan firesides and
thoughtful helpfulntss toward those
who suffer from lack of body or spirit.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and oaused tbe seal of the
United States to be affixed. Done at the
city of Washington this thirteenth day
day of November in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and ninety

United States the one hundred and six

MJIC1DE BX AMMONIA.
The Terrible A irony Attendant Does Not
Prevent Its Use.
No poison brings death with more
maddening agony than ammonia,but that
taot does not seem to discourage the
suicide. The man Hurrowitz, who de
liberately swallowed a fatal dese of tbe
drug in New York recently, is only one
of the many who have gone tbe ammonia
route to det'th in spite of the exieiit-
ting puin. Dr. Blyth has recorded thirty
cases of ammonia poisoning in the small
London district of which be is healtn of
ficer, Prof. Mitchell mentions twenty
two oases, and four have oocured dur
ing the short time Dr, Jenkins has been
conuec ted with the coroner's office ill
New York.
Oases of slow poisoning from ammonia
are of constant ocouranoe among men
who work in its manufacture, or even in
decomposing eubstances which give it off
in oonsidarnble quantities. Ammonia,
slowly and from day to day taken iuto
the system, causes the oomplexion to
loose its freshness, and the skin of men
who get heavily impregnated with it bus
a disagreeable blotched and discolored
appearanoe.
Taken into the stomach from Hay to
day in even the small quantities used to
adulterate food, euoh as baking powder,
it not only injures tbe complexion but
atUcks the lining of the stoumch, and is
the source of much general ill health.
The recent rapid increase in the use of
ammonia for various purposes, and the
consequent increase in its manufacture,
have made it one of the most easily, ob
tained poisons and, although everybody
is familiar with it in some form, there is
a surprising amount of ignorance of its
dangerous qualities. Its ne bU ad
ulterant in any food preparations is sim
ply a orime, and ns a crime should be
punished.

EDITORIAL.-
A TIIASKSGlVhXG LESSOX.
While Russia has always been a friend
to the United States, that oountry has
oooupied this position, not for love of us
or our free and enlightened institutions,
but on account of certain aetlonsof other
European countries. Russia and Eng
land do not dwell, as a rule, in perfect
harmony, and as the latter country is
prone at times to look upon tbe United
States with jealous eyes, Russia becomes
our friend of circumstance.
But bow different are tbe principles of
government of these friends! One if
the home .f harmony, liberty and en
lightenment; the other, turbulouoe, op
pression and ignoranoe. Amerioa is
perfectly familiar with tbe persecution
of tbe Jewish residents of Russia, ending
In their expulsion from the country, and
loss of all property. Now on the heels of
this oomes an order that tbe governmental
Russian chtipch, backed by the czar, is
foroing the Greek brauoli of tbe Roman
Ciitholio oburoh to become unwilling
converts or suffer banishment to the
Cold and desolate wastes of Siberia, and
this edict is being oarried out with all
earnestness. God pity such a country.
If in tbe end tbe warmest corner of the
regions presided over by Pluto is not as
signed to perpetrators of such uncivil
ized barbarities, supreme justice will not
be doue. With all the friendship that
Russia has displayed for America, no
good citizen oan admire such an abom
inable m inarohy.
To preserve the kind of government
intended fot ns by our forefathers, We
must depend, upon our politioal parties.
It is by and through them that we can
hope for .a continuance of the graud
principles of liberty, and the closer the
vote the better. While everyone thinks
his party is able to give a better admin
istration of bis affairs than any other,
we must, admit that change of adminis
tration occasionally is the hi pa of the
Amerioan people for continued good
government and the expulsion ' of all
ideks tending toward a government of
and by a few people, leadiug the masses
like chained slaves to the tune of for
eign dictation as to bow we shall man
age our affairs.' Let tbe awful condition
of RusBia beau everlasting admonition
that a government of and by the people
cannot be obtained under autocratic
rule. It is iuougb io cause onr people
to feel thiiiilttuiTlus 'ila.v ftir the many
blessings of liberty which we are eu
joying. vr " HEP PEER'S FUTURE. -
Heppuer gives promise of great things
for the future. The buainess of the
place, regardless of loss of stock and pre
vailing hard times of the past year or
two, has increased , wonderfully. This
year a wonderful yield of all cereals,
suited to this section, blessed the efforts
of the farmers, and, best of all, are re
ceiving for it the top price.
Heppner is moving along more smooth
ly than in days of yore. Those fuctionnl
strifes and q'lurrels which have at times
entered inta our midst, even threatening
Xo destroy and ruin the best interests of
the community, are apparently dead be
yond all hope of resurrection. In its
stead there is h disposition to work iu
harmony for tbe good of the town. May
it ev, be so. Without it no oommunity
can hope to prosper. Wo think that all
have learned valuable lessons by theii
experienco of the past, which many
times consisted more in pulling down
than building up. But it is not a proper
time to censure, nor is there a disposi
PROTECT OUR BREAD.
( The machinery of the law has not been put to work
too speedily against the fraudulent use of ammonia and
alum in Baking Powders. Both health and the' pocket of
the people are demanding protection. The legislatures of
New York, Illinois and Minnesota have taken this matter
of adulteration up, and especially that of Baking Powders.
It will be in the interest of public health when their sale
icxuiade a misdemeanor in every State in the UNION, and
, the penalties of the law are rigidly enforced. There is no
article of human food more wickedly adulterated than that
of Baking Powder.
Dr. Price's Cream , Baking Powder is the only puro r
cream of tartar powder having a general sale that is free
1 ' '
from ammonia, alum or taint of any kind of impurity. It
-
makes the sweetest and lightest bread, biscuit and cake
that are perfectly digestible whether hot orcold. It costs
more to manufacture Dr. Price's than any other baking
powder, It is superior to every other known and the
atandard for forty years. r
- Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re- "' .
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the
purity of this ideal powder has never been quev
tic. . .,
tion on the tmrt of this paper to do so.
The spirit of progress is abroad. While it
is resting with us, let it be encouraged.
