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.

Wht Presidttnt Harrison Said in his Proclamation Asking for a Retnra of Thanks 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.

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. OAI.LO"VAY NTKS. Hay is selling at $7 per too. ' Fine rain Monday cveoiug. R. L.

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.
