Give your ewes about to lamb comfort able quarters. Do. not attempt to winter breeding ewes without grain. A sheep oan be well fattened in 60 days, and it takes twice that time to fat ten a steer. Over and over again it has been stated that without a good ram success in the highest degree cannot be reached. To make the most out of sheep they must be kept for a series of years. Some years they pay much better than others. Sheep will assist greatly in clearing the farm of weeds, but you must remem ber that sheep cannot thrive on weeds alone. Sheep for toe food consumed, the oare required and money invested will give better returns than any other elass of live stook. Montana Bheep growers, seventy-five in Dumber and representing 8,000,000 sheep, have organized at Helena for of fense and defense against cattlemen. After a time sheep may be useful on ly for mutton. Wool, the chemists say, oan De made more cheaply from wood fibre than it oan be grown on sheep. Try to have as many twin produoirtg ewes as possible. Ewes which have good sound udders, are dooile and have pro duced twins, are the ewes to retain for breeders. The Veterinary ig authority for the opinion that nine-tenths of the sheep that die from what farmers oall grub in the head really die from lung trouble brought no by exposure to fall rains. While sheep can exist for a time on weeds and briars still to produce the best results they must have plenty of good grass and water. The sooner the average flockmaster understands that successful sheep raising requires close attention, food and shelter the better it will be for this industry in the state. There is money in the winter feeding of sheep by the small farmer, even where there is none in the feeding of oattle. Ewes may be kept to raise winter lauibs, or a few wethers at a time mav he bought and fattened for the mutton mar ket. When they are in good oondition both their flesh and wool are profitabla Dairying in the United States. The men employed in the business number 750,000 and the horses are over ,000,000. There are over 12,000,000 horses all told. Tbe oows and horses annually consume 30,000,000 tons of hay and nearly 90,000,- 000 bushels of oornmeal, about the same of oatmeal, 275,000,000 bushels oats, 2,- 000,000 bushels of bran and 30,000.000 bushels of corn, to say nothing of the brewery grains, Bprouts and other ques tionable feed of various kinds that are used to a great extent. It costs $450,- 000,000, to feed these cows and horses. The average price paid to the laborers necessary in the dairy business is proba bly twenty dollars a month, amounting to 8190,000,000 a year. The average cow yields about 450 gal lons of milk a year, which gives a total product of 6,750,000,000 gallons. Twelve cents a gallon is a fair price to estimate the value of milk at, a total return to the dairy farmers 8810,000,000, if thev sold all the milk as milk. But 50 per oent. f their milk is made into cheese and butter. There's the same amount album inoids in SH pounds of milk as there is in one pound of beef. A fat steer furnish es 50 per cent, of boneless beef, but it would require 24,000,000 steers weighing 1,600 poundB each, to produoe the same amount of nutrition as tbe annual milk produst does. American Analyst. No serious objection to the purohaee f the fire apparatus could be urged, un less it be that of laok of funds, in the face of the expenditure whioh tne town is about to make in the end of securing waterworks. Of course, economy should be practiced in town matters, as much as in the management of one's persoual affairs, but before any of our worthy citizens condemn the action of tbe coun cil, give it a good thorough investigation. A LABORING MEN I A X.OS3 OF TIME COUNTY, OREGON, ma An Enthusiastic Gathering of of the Clubs of Oregon. EXTRACT FROM SPEECH OF HON. J. LAYER The Presence of Prominent Men Noted on This Occasion. Pobtland, Jan. 28. At 10 a. m. the republican clubs of Oregon Vent into convention. Sixty days ago executive committees of the Young Men's Repub lican Club of Oregon and the National League Repub'n Clubs issued a call for today's gathering. The work of organ ization has been pushed. Each school district has striven to have a representa tion at this, the most important olub convention held in the Northwest this year. The convention hall was filled to over-flowing and the greatestjenthusiasm prevailed. As the president of the olub and league, Hou. J. L. Ayer, ascended the rostrum the building fairly shook with the applause. Delegates sprang to their feet and waved their welcome. On the platform was seated Hon. W. R. El lis, Hon. Wm. McMasters, A. 5$. Manly, Esq., Hon. L. Conn and Hon. U. O. Smith, vioe presidents of the organiza tion, Hon, John H. Hall and Geo. M' Healey, the state treasurers, and L. Q. Swetlad, L. A. McNary, and Mert Dim mick, Esq., the state secretaries. After the enthusiasm had subsided the meeting was oalled to order by Presi dent Ayer,who said : I thank you for your weloome. It is with feelings of profound gratification that I see suoh a thi rough represen tation of all sections of our glorious state. We are assembled under call ol our executive committee for the purpose of discussing tbe issues of tbe hour and tbe plans of tbe ooming oampuign. By our aotion today let us sbow; ths state and nation that the republican party is a barmonious body, that it is free from fao tional strife, that we sink' penoual ends ror tne common good . fplaus-. Mr. J. W. Simpso'n being oalled on delivered a brief but Btirriug speeoh up on the importance of oomplete organiz ation, tbe duty of the respective clubs, and the great necessity of individual ef fort. He reviewed the history of the na- uonai repuoncan party, and dwelt upon the grand accomplishments of the party in tbe past, and showed how futile were tbe efforts of its enemies to oouviuoe the people that its day was past, and that it had no longer a national aim to achieve. He dwelt upon the legislation whioh had characterized its earlier days of na tional triumph, and portrayed in vivid oolors the enactments which had led to the payment of so muoh of the nationul debt, the efforts made to oomplete the step of emancipation; the opposition it had been obliged to faoe in attempting to recognize substantially tbe heroes of the late war; and the mHuly and decided stand taken by the republican adminis trations on all questions of international importance. He Bhowed that the pretended legisla tion of the democracy was but tbe found ation of a backward and obstructive pol icy, and not in keeping with the prn gressive theories and practice of tbe re publican whenever aud wherever in pow er. He predicted that there would be a most gratifying triumph at the Novem ber election, if the campaign should he conducted in a broad, earnest, compre hensive manner by the national leaders. In concluding bis remarks, Mr. Simpson, after referring in most flatten ug terms to the zeal, servioes and exeoutive ability of the president. (Hon. J. L. Ayer) said he knew that tbe chair was always prepared to lay before any body of republicans a well digested resume of the vital ques tions of the hour. He therefore hoped that the convention would now be favor ed with an address from the ohair, so that every republican in the state of Or egon might see clearly and definitely the ground proposed to be taken by the or ganizations represented in this conven tion. After thanking the delegates for the honor conferred, the president, John L. Ayer, said: Gentlemen op the Convention; You have called upon me to give you a synopsis of the history of our party during tbe passing presidential term, and to outline the policy of the party in the campaign now upon us. The duty of replying is too important to be undertaken in this off hand man ner. As tbe official ennunciation of the par- TAKS CARE! IS COSTL7I ST.

I will, therefore, refer briefly to the present administration and its reoord. I shall also touch upon some of those vi tal prinsiples that are fundamental in the polioy of our party. Let us glanoe retrospectively to the year 1884. In the calm of these after years every Amerioan, be be democrat or republican, looks with shame to that era of ignorance and incompetency. Ihe democratic party was entirelv un fit and utterly unable to successfully oope with a single problem of impor tance. The tariff question, the silver is sue, the Behring Bea embroglio, the Sam oan hiatus, every grave question, in what ever department arising, were of neces sity left for solution to the incoming re publican administration. The Cleveland administration blotted the pages of Amerioan history with the Pan-Electrio soandal; the monstrous, yes, tbe unholy war upon the rights of old soldiers and sailors and their natu ral dependents; the temporary nullifica tion of the civil service; and the villain ous and dastardly attemnt tn crush Amerioan industries; to lower the earn ings of the Amerioan wage-earners; to deprive thousands of Amerioan oitizens of the right to live, by means of the free trade tariff. What wonder that the people became alarmed, and Brising in their might hurled from the high places those who so shamefully had abused their trust. What wonder the republicans were oalled on to man the ship of state, that a re publican was put at the wheel when the billows of financial depression were breaking high upon the free trade bar. The people knew that the republicans could bring the good ship in safety to the harbor of protective tariff. Ap plause. . In time of danger, like a giant refresh ed from slumber, the American people 'sroke. Memojy swe;it from their eyes the scales of (hat moral leprosy which oontact with the unclean delusions of the democratic party had brought upon them. Memory spread before them tbe glorious bintory of the grand old party that seemed heaven sent to save the Union. Judgment showed plainly that this party must be recalled to and remain yet longer iu power to secure aud estab lish the results of the conflict. Ap plause. Brought to the verge of national dis grace and finanoial ruin by the Cleveland administration the people rcoallcd the days of Amerioan glory and returned to power the republican party, the party that has brought to a successful termina tion the greatest war in the history of the world ; that has in twenty years paid 1,000 millions of war debt and dis- bursed to our heroes of that war, their wives and children, nearly as muoh more, and that, too, in suoh a manner that the drain upon the people was never felt. How oould the people forget that the republican party bad taken the nation when plunged iu the depths and by a oareful proteotion and development of its resources and industries and by its man agement of the country's affairs had made us what we are today, the greatest and most prosperous nation on tbe face of the earth. During tbe IiibI three years we have had a praotical government whioh bus accomplished substantial results. All departments worked harmoniously to a oommon end. Under a practical presi dent everything progressed smoothly in the manner most for tbe nation's good. For the executive work, so well done, let us ascribe honor where honor is due, to the president of the United StateB- Benjamin Harrison. Applause. Tbe administration of Mr. Cleveland presented a marked contrast to that of President Harrison and in no way more strikingly than by the tyrannical use of the veto power. Suoh a flagrant use of this power was never known in the country's history. Cleveland arrogated to himself the clsim of being the wisest of American presidents ; so much wiser in fact than any Amerioan living, that be undertook with his veto power to over turn tbe will of the people as expressed by their representatives in oongress as sembled. He deemed himself much wiser than Bny Amerioan dead; that while from the immortal Washington to Arthur inclusive only 100 veto inessaifes had been sent to oongress, Cleveland in four years seut to the 402 representatives of the people, equal to himself, if not superior, C07 vetoes, four times as many as had been sent in the 100 years previous to bis election. Of these 607 vetoes. 524 were refusals to approve pensions for Union soldiers. In messages accompanying these at tempts to overthrow the will of the peo ple he sneered at the unhappy necessities of the veterans, laughed at their suffer- iug families, denoted the truth of their oatbs, brutally attacked the Grand Army and those who asked for bread he offered a stone. And all this from a man who de fended bis country by a paid substitute. The department of State under the present administration ihinoi with addad lustre when contrasted with the exhibi tion of inoompetenoy given by this de partment in the Cleveland government, The eluoidation of the Samoau prob lem, the unraveling of which Bayard had ingloriously attempted the bringing to arbitration tbe Behring Bea question after the failure of democratic diplomacy the gathering of tbe Pan-Amerioan congress, and its important results all are striking and brilliant exhibitions of statecraft, the credit of whioh is due to one man to a man who has done more for the glory of the nation than any liv ing Amerioan a man true to himself and his friends James G. Blaine. Great applause. The new navy is essentially republi can, designed and built by Americans Applause. ir tne present democratic oongress deals with tbe needs of the nation in a business way, the good work will go on, and we will have a navy that will be most effective; but it, as some of the demoo ratio members threaten, the build ing of the navy shall cease, and no new ships shall be authorized, then will we ourse the day the democratio party saw the light When our defenseless oondi tion makes our seaboard cities an easy prey for foes, we shall rue tbe day our sloth and Degligenoe gave oongress to the democrats. Secretary Prootor built up a newer and better army system than has existed :nce 1864. And the present action of tbe new secretary in dealing with the Mexican border trouble, and preparing for a war with Chili, must be oommend ed. The work of the interior department bus been large aud successful. Notuhle reforms have been undertaken in the Indian department. The polioy of the administration contemplates the break ing up of the reservation system. Muny millions of land will be recovered for the benefit of settlers. The failure of Mr. Cleveland's admin istration wbs nowhcie more conspicuous than in the land office. General Sparks, upou taking oharge of the bureau, and without investigation of any kind, made the dastardly statement "That comparatively few of the entries upon tbe publio lauds during the pre vious ten yeors had been honestly effect ed." By an infamous orler issued in pursuance of this theory, be undertook to nullify all the publio land laws of the United States. After mfllions of dollars bad been spent, and a year of time lost iu attempts to prooure proof of this statement, the secretory of the interior was compelled to revoke Sparka' order, and onoe more to permit settlers to en joy tbe benefits of the land laws. - The democrats raised n yell of "sur plus!" Look at the surplus! Let us have free trade ! But there was no sur plus. There were outstanding debts to the reduotion of which every penny hould have been applied beyond what was necessary for current expenses. During Mr. Cleveland's administration tbe bonded debt was reduced 341 mil lions, 1SH millions less than the reduo tion during President Arthur's term. Yet, when Cleveland went out of office, the surplus was only forty-eight millions. If Cleveland, whose revenues were larger than Arthur's, bad paid as much debt as Arthur paid, be would have had at the end of his term not one cent of surplus, but a debt of ninety billions. The democrats say that the surplus j and, mark you, there was no actual sur plus was wasted by the extravagant ex penditures of a billion-dollar congress. This is a falsehood. The surplus and six times the surplus have been paid under Harrison in liquidation of the pub lio debt. Cleveland left forty-eight millions in the treasury. Up to June 30, '01 Hurrison bad paid 234 millions to the publio debt. In two years and four months he had reduoed tbe per oapita All Experts Use Royal Baking Powder Perfect and uniform success in making finest food is more certain with Royal Baking Powder than with any other. Use it in every receipt calling for a baking powder, or cream of tartar and soda, and the best results in pure, wholesome, appetizing food are assured. Experts use it because it adds to their success. Physi cians and Health Officers recommend it because it adds to the wholcsomeness of the food. Marion JIakland: "I regard the Royal Baking Powder as the best in the market. Since its introduction into n.y kitchen I have used no other." Miss Maria 1'arloa: "It seems to me that the Royal Raking l'ovder is as good as any can be. I have used it a great deal and always with satisfaction." Mrs. Bakkr, Principal of Washington, D. C, School of Cookery: "I say to you, without hesitation, use the 'Royal.' I have tried all, but the Royal is the most satisfactory." M.
