PROFITABLE SHEEP.
Pol.la la th Ilrvrlaaaaeat af a Da-
alrabla 4uck.
Iu keeping any breed of sheep the
drat deairuble feature is selei'tlnu of
brii-diug atock, writes James Wilson
In Ttie American Aurlculturlat. I would
chiH.se my ewes from uiy twin lambs
wli lih have good fHcea, guod square
shoiililers and backs, kimmJ loins and
which Htand well on their legs. Choose
r.nir ram with the same poiuta and a
twin, as t!:st. In OiJ opinion, will Lavs
a tendency to produce twin lambs. The
next tiling la to take good rare of them.
(ilve them a good, dry pasture and fre
quent change, look well to your water
mipply, and when your ewes are cllp-
mmI and lambed and the days warm
give them a good dip to kill all vermlu
lind to Improve the quality and quanti
ty of their wool. Visit them regularly
during tho time they are In the pasture
and have a yard fenced In where you
run always stilt them, and when you
go always take something with you
they like. Ity this method the sheep
will know you, and you cun get them
into the yard for any purpose you re
quire.
Keep their feet In good order and be
fore letting In your ram dip them
again ready for their whiter quarters.
Have a few acres of rope to put them
In tiefore breeding, which will send
them Into winter quarters In good Uesh
and spirits. Have a good barn, with
low rucks for hay and straw, and wa
ter theui and feed nt regular times ev
ery day. C'huuge their feed often and
give roots every day, with about a
quart of feed nintle of Ave parts ground
oats, two of corn n leal and three of
bran. Keep up this feed until after
they have dropped their lambs, wlit-n
It Is desirable to keep them separate
with their own lumbs, and In a few
days Increase the feed of the ewe. By
following these methods no serious
losses hare lieon experienced during
long years of breeding and feeding
sheep.
Frftiea Meat Deterlaratea.
Meats froKCii anil kept Iu cold star
age for long periods do not undergo or
ganic changes In the ordinary sense
thut Is, they do not putrefy, soften or
smell bud-but they certainly do dete
riorate Iu some Intangible way, says
The Sanitary Record. After a certain
time frozen :ieut loses some life princi
ple essential to Its nourishing quality.
Such meat lucks flavor; It Is not well
digested or assimilated. Its savorless
condition cannot be remedied or suc
cessfully disguised by the use of sauces
and condiments. Those wbo eat cold
storage fotsl for any length of time de
velop diarrheal disorders, lose In
weight and would eventually starve to
death unless a change of diet was
made. The same reasoning applies to
tinned fruits and vegetables. They
should not be used after a certain pe
riod has elapsed. Especially should
people be wnrued against using stnle
eggs and old milk and cream. Milk
and cream are kept for days, rancid
butter is washed and treated chemical
ly, but all food, and especially cold
storage food. Is damaged by long keep
ing and will not nourish the body prop
erly. There Is the greatest abundance
of food, but it does not satisfy.
Say Breeders.
Many farmers are complaining that
the finely bred hogs are liecoinliig shy
breeders, and In order t.i have large
Utters they are cress I-.im din-;, says
Texas Farm and Kuuch. There may
be something In this. The grades and
crosses are probably more prolific than
those bred more systematically and
consequently Inbred to a large extent
Hut we do not Isi-Ueve it Is the breed,
but the feed. These fine haired hogs
are coddled too much, fed too much for
fat and not enough for that which
gives life, vigor and bsrdlness to wit,
flesh, muscle and bone; too much corn
and not enough grass. Fine boned bogs
are not the ls-st pork makers. The bone
becomes too One, and constitutional
weakness results. Anyway It Is not at
all necessary that pork have a pedi
gree except on the male side. The
most successful growers of hogs for
market use grade sows of large cali
ber with finely bred boars and prefer
these rather than pure bred through
out. Oat liar.
Chemists tell us that oats cut for bay
contain as much nutritive value as
they do when ripened so far as the
grain Itself goes; still there Is a loss by
grain rattling out when too ripe and a
loss of the fee. ling value of the straw
lu ripening. We think every farmer
who grows nats for home use will Hud
a profit in cutting them while the grain
Is "In the dough," or soft enough to
crush between the thumb and Anger,
and curing them for hay, says The
American Cultivator. Ilotb horses and
cattle eat them greedily, leaving no
straw, and seem to keep In quite as
good working condition as If fed on
timothy liny and dry oats. It Is a sav
ing also of the labor of thrashing, and
there may be another saving they
Hay lie harvested before they begin to
rust.
I'll Plsra.
So much depend upon treating the
miw Just right whether the young pigs
prove a success or not that sjieclnl
ti-entiiieut should be given to the anl
mnl two months In-fore farrowing time,
-n ys K. r. Smith lit The American Cul
tivator. The sow that Is fed properly
necks la-foretisnd will nut lie In a fe
veiinh condition, and there will t no
danger of her Injuring the young
plct or giving to them swine diseases
ilint may develop later. The sow that
Is fed heavily on corn r'gM ep to the
time of farrow i i l-i t I '; to pro-du.-e

thrive well. They will Inherit tenden
cies from their mother Hint will soon

be their lot in life.
TLe RrltTsTi guvernment'a' committee

coloring matters and preserTstlres In

to color milk and butter Is known as

and Is chemically th same as ths dlnl

ANIMALS FOREXPORT.
War laerraara th Deaiaad Far
llutaea aad Nalft,
Horses and mules uny animals m-ed-ed
fur auuy transMii-tathiu are more
and more in ileiniind, and the prices
are n.. .vlui.' upward, says Farm, Field
un.l Fireside. Purchases are being
made for the ltritlsh araiy.
Aside from this, it la upparent that
our export trade In horsca bus Increas
ed. A dou'i or so years ago there was
almost no exM rt tra.K- of this kiif.l.
In January of last year the total f. sit
ed up :Ksi.iNi, while for January. lOno,
our exports of horses reached a totul
value of tc't-l.c.io. an astoiilHhitig-ltt-erease.
It Is estimuted thut the trade
of the present year may reach $N0t 1,000.
It was stipM.scd at first thut the en
larged export of horses hud naturally
grown out of the fact of the exceeding
ly low prices to which horses hud come
In this country. While this may Imve
given a start upward. It hardly' ac
counts for the continued demand and
the well sustained prices. ,
The ultimate fact Is that there Is au
Immensely Increased demand for bo:jjeB
for the Ilrltlsh army, and they Iihvk no
other place to meet It except In our
market. At almut the same time there
comes a greatly Increased demand for
our own war, and horse dealers and
horse breeders are reaping the Im-iicBIs.
I'n.lor the low figure for many years
our horse and inulo raisers had Im-cii
going out of the business and greatly
diminishing the product It will take
time to get back even to the old copse
Ity of production. We may safely
count on good prices and a sustained
export trade for a year or two at least.
Mortality la Yoanar rias.
That the way In which the sow lias
been fed hits an undoubted liiflueii.-e
on the mortality of young pigs cannot
be questioned. With sows that are
soon to farrow that purt of the work
cannot now be modified. But it If
equally true that sows to come In the
near future will rear more pigs when
given close attention than when not
thus tared for. Every young pig lost
means Just so much profit cut out of
returns. If every one who has a brood
low that will farrow sihiu, says Ame:'W
can Swineherd, will give her careful aj
teutlon. the time so six-nt will utique-i-tlouably
bring In a rich return. Put
the sow In the place where she Is to
bring forth her young several days lie
fore she Is due to farrow. Give her
time to get In touch with her sur
roundiugs. Bee to It thut cold
drafts cannot reach her or her
young. Have the litter dry, suit
able and not avernhuudaut. Civ
the sow food that will keep the diges
tion right, taking every pains to avoii
constipation. When she does furrow:
try to be on hand. Do not grudge pan'.
of a night's rest Iu order to sure a lit
ter or even part of a litter. If It Is
necessary to keep vigil tints fur a
part of a night, see to it that the body
is duly cared for. When one has to
spend a purt of a cold night In an out
building, the duty of guarding agalust
cold Is of great monieiit. I'lcufy of
nourishment and a warm drink will
do good service In this Hue. Interfere
but little with sow or young If all goes
well, but If the farrow lug season
Should prove uuduly cold, put the
young In a basket, itiluld with old gar
ments and cm . red with the same, aud
take theui to a warm place. Every pig
saved at the furrowing season means
several dollars lu the full.
Drntl Slallluna.
It Is doubtful if the owners of draft
talllous lu the west aud middle west
and northwest have ever found patron
age for their horses so plentiful as It
Is this season, says The Breeder's tin
sette. Every good horse aud many
that are not ei. titled to be called good
In any sense have practically all they
ought to do. while all local favorites
are overrun. That the sentiment of
farmers Is In favor of gettiug sll colts
possible Is proved by the demand thut
exists for eapst les wherewith the oper
ation of impi'i'j. nation may be perform
ed. This opeiation has been thorough
ly described in these columns, and the
fact that ninny are buying the capsules
shows conclusively that It is desired
to get as uiiitiy foals as possible. There
is much satisfaction to be had from a
review of the Mtuatiou as It at present
stands. As a rule service fees are
higher than for years past, and yet In
many localities they are nut high
enough that is, the class of burses
the funnels .) maud and the amount
of money they are willing to pay do
Dot dovetail u.atly at all. Every day
the market sli-iw more strongly tin
wide gulf that is fixed between the
good aud the common horses lu point
of value and readiness of sale, and
the mare owner w ho dues not seek the
very best st.ill ou he can find Is dclih
erately throwing money away. No mtiu
can afford to purchase a high class
stallion and st: lid him for a scrub foe

CANAL LKI.ISLA ri0.
(ingressmaii Tongue, who has
personal kuowledgnof the progress
made toward passing the Nicaragua
Canal bill, writes Ihis statement:
"In my Judgment the prospects for
the passage of the bill for Ihe con
struct ion of tho Nicaragua Canal are
good. The House passed the bill by
a majority great enough to show a
strong public sentiment in its favor.
This will doubtless have an impres
sion iiHin the senate. The bill hss
been set down for hearing the IDih of
next month, ami will have the right
of way until final action. Dispatches
from Washington have given out au
erroneous impression as to the pro
visions of the House bill, alleging
that it contains a provision for fori id-
cat Ions, which will lie antigoniz -d in
Ihe Senate. This is incorrect. As
originally reported by the committee
on foreign and ii.tTftate commerce
to the House, it contained such a
provision, but whenever Chairman
Hepburn sought to pr.s uie consider
ation of the bill, it met i-troiig oppo
sition on that ground, it Mas claim

had by leading government olllcials,
aud the members of I lie House aud

solicitation. Growing out of Ihis
conference, the word 'defer .1' was
substituted iu the bill for the word

an apparent t II irt to dictate lo the

MCAKAMIA CAJAI, BILL.

bill Is Hie special order for Monday,
December 10, nl 2 p. m. Among
other provi-i'.in, ;t author!.- the
secretary of war to constr ict lorlifl ra

of the eotifl'Cting views on this sub.
j-s t, the In .i'y msy ! pssse.1 over
anil the bill u: lhr..ugh indeH?ud-

The bill is i i a p n, parliamentary
s-illon. It Mil the hoti-e on Ihe
2-1 of May si.-l m reporte-l to the
senate on the d y follow ing, w ithout
change. No progrsiutne to prevent
a vet is beard of. The subject has
been so thoroughly .'elmlcd that
sptechea are iini:rsisry. Am-t.d.
ments will tss IT. red, but fii.-i.d-. of
the bill are believed to be in a ma
jority trong enough to keep it Intact
The feature- of the Nicaragua Canal
bill are as follows;
Section I authorial" the pnsideiil
to acquire from Costa Hica and Nica
ragua control of the territory through
which the canal will pass from Grey
town ou the east lo Bieto on tin-
west, aud appropriates such sum as

Section 3 provid.-s for Ihe necessary

Section 4 din its Ihe use of Ihe San
Juan river and Like Nicaragua
wherever practicable.
S-rtion 6 authorizes the use of Hit
canal by Costa Him and Nicaragua
upoi. terms 1 1 lie hereairt r at ranged.
Section 6 appropriates Ihe sum ol
tlO.OOO.OOO to licgin the project, au
thorizes the stcrt-ttry of war t make
cotitratt-i ft t-xcavittlon, material
and construction, am! limits Ihe total
cost to 140,000,000.
So far as Ihe tr.aty Is concerned,
the administration wishes for lis rat-
i Heat ion without amendment. It
agrees that "no fort i Ileal ions shall Is?
erected commanding Hie cans! or
waters adjacent." Members of the
commitL-e on foreign relations who
first favored immediate ralillcation
deemed it wiser to postpone action iu
view of the evident sentiment In
favor of defending tie canal. It was
in obedience to this set timent that
the house bill authorized the secre
tary of war to com-truct "such pro
visions of defense as may be neces
sary for the safety and protection of
salt! canals and harbors."
The treaty of Constantinople, upon
which the Hsy.Pauncefole treaty
was based, disavowed interference
with such H"ps as the Sultan and
Khedive "might Hud il necessary to
tage by Hit ir o u for the defense) of
Egjpt and thi) maintenance of public
order." It was contended in the
senate that Ihe situation of the
Unit 'd States between Hie Atlantic
and Pacific oceans required a stipula
tion similar to that incorporated in
tho Constantinople treaty, and .an
amendment iu like language is s-tid-
ing in the committee on foreign
relations.
TKt SIN AMI I1KVAMNM.
It is daily growing more apparent
that the inadequate, impossible and
nonsensical "remedies" for.tiUHts
proposed by the Bryntiite platform
were drafted by the Hgents of the
trust magnates themselves, with Ihe
intent to deceive Ihe voters by a pro
posal of measures which seem dras
tic, but really are hirmless I a -cause
imisaisihlo or useless. It is au old
dtslge with which we are thoroughly
familUr in California. The reason
lor this belief the fa:l which is
now evident that the demts-ralic na

than lite republican committee, ami
Ihis money in Hie main has la-en col

the slums of NtwYotk and parity

belief is the ut t -r futility of the

which trusts would suffer far less than
