A Snwlone i Scrcodi The cliecklcst piece of w.ork in the cam conies from tKo hands of one "A i.'Mansfcldo , M. D.l ( who by some mys icriotis dispensation of providence js able to afllx to his name the title of "Perma nent Secretary Nebraska .Stale Medical Society. " Mansfeldo has issued a circu lar from Ashland directed to the. doctors of the First congressional district urging .hem to exercise their "endeavors" for the lion. Church Ilowo on the ground that the Somalia trickster has made [ iromifus to work for the interests of tliu medical fraternity. "In n personal inter view with him , " says Dr. A. Von , Mansfclile , "lie has in his characteristic promptness assured me that ho will show Ilko energy 'in congress , when mailers nllecting the medical profession arc under consideration , one of which will be an appropriation by congress for the ex penses of llio International Medical con gress to convene In Washington in Sep tember next. 1 am sure that your endeavors in behalf of Hon. Church llowo , irrespective of Ills unquestioned fitness for the place , will do great good to the causu , as well as rcllciit credit upon the individual voter and state , lie may represent In concress. " This is a precious document. As a pri vate clti/.cn'Doctor Von Mansfeldo lias an undoubted right to advocate whatever candidate- chooses for congress. Hut when ho prostitutes his ofllcial position for thu purpose of promoting the elec tion of any man ho is a lit subject for ro- biike and exposure. Such action at ouco arouses the suspicion that Church IIowo is at the bottom of the scheme and that the doctor's opinion has been paid for with a good round fee not provided for in the state society's fee list. Thu med ical fraternity generally will rcsmit this high-handed piece of assumption. What sort of a spectacle would bo presented to thu public were all the men who hold ollicial positions in the stiitu to Issue from their cilices under ofli- cial authority printed appeals to Voters in favor of candidates 'for ' political honors ? What honest citi/.ort would doubt for a moment that the authors were well paid for thctr trouble and expense ? And what reputable man will not condemn with his whole soul any candidate who will hire thu paid ofliccr of a state society to use his oflicial posi tion for the furtherance of such disrepu table schemes ? Dr , Von Mansfeldo's circular is a disgrace - grace to liis profession and casts dis credit upon his own character and repu tation. He should promptly bo ejected from the office which ho has attempted to use for unprofessional ends. A nioxr nt Monopoly. The foes of monopoly have reason to be gratified with the evidences which como from Pennsylvania that the long roigu of monopolistic corporations m that state lias come to an end. For more than a generation they have had free course , and the history of their dar ing and reckless operations , in total dis regard of the public interests and wel fare and in open defiance of the laws , is a most extraordinary and impressive record of what such corporations arc capable of doing when left to the unchal lenged pursuit of their selfish aims. In no other state has the corruption and demoralization of legislatures , courts and public officials been carried to so great an extent as in Pennsylvania , and every promise or assurance that the power which has been able to accomplish this has been broken is to be welcomed. The platforms of both the political parties demand the strict enforcement of the constitutional provisions in regard to monopoly , and thus public sentiment on this subject lias been fully aroused. We called attention at the time to the action of Governor Pattison in direct ing the attorney conoral to inquire into the course of the coal combination , with n view to legal pro ceedings agulnst that monopoly should U bo found to have violated the law. The result of the inquiry han not yet trans pired. The most recent evidence of the determination - termination to arrest the movements of great corporations , when clearly tending in thu direction of monopoly , is given in the decision of the supreme court dis missing the appeal of the Pennsylvania railroad and alllrmlng the decree of the common pleas oourt enjoining that cor poration from acquiring the parallel road , 'partly built , called the South Pennsylvania. The West shorn road was built by the friends of the Pennsylvania road to annoy the Now York Central , and in retaliation the Vandorbilts and others Interested with them projected the South Pennsylvania road. The con * test was proving damaging to both , unit lastyoar , as thu public will remember , tin arrangement was mudo by which the New York Central acquired , the West Shore and the Pennsylvania the South Pennsylvania llrto. But the attorney general of Pennsylvania forbadu the consolidation in that state , and this action has now been sustained by the supreme court. It is a severe defeat of the Pennsylvania cor poration , since it U powerless to injure the Now York Central , and cannot protect Itself in its own state against the competi tion of the now road , but it Is clearly In the interest of the public. The competing Ijno will be completed , and It will prevent the Pennsylvania road from levying upon the public the exactions it is now iu a position to demand. It is by far thu most serious repulse this great corporation has ever experienced , ancf is therefore all the more significant an a warning to loss wcaltUy and powerful coroorations in the state that have monopolistic deslirns. Sueh facts arc exceedingly reassuring to ( ho anti-monopoly sentiment of tl0 | coun try , now largely in the ascendant and rapidly growing. at Once. The man who has not yet registered for Tuo1ft5r''i ' election has only two more dut 'of citizenship. days to. perform t > No voter who falls to see ! ? * * LIs I1IUUO la on the registrar's list before the C.r"Uon can claim to bo a good citizen , unless sickness or some other equally good cause prevents him from so doing. The coming election is one of unusual importance. It involves the choice of a full state ticket and of alugislatnro which will bo called upon to select a United States senator , In these two features of the Ilia approaching content Douglas county is interested with the entire btato. Hut it invohes something more. Nyxt Tuesday's vote will dccido thu question whether a prohibitory amendment is to bo submitted to the people of Nebraska. in this issue Douglas county and Omaha ire more concerned than any other sec tion of the state ; The welfare of liar schools , the value of her real estate , the continued advancement of the city , all mvo a vital connection with the verdict .o bo rendered , Of scarcely less importance arc the' changes to be made in our city charter , Dur city has doubled her population in it little over Ilvo years. She has out grown the limitations of the municipal government provided. Able and honest men arc to bo selected to leg * islatu in her interests and to make new provisions for her government adapted lo her Increased requirements and steady expansion. Every tax payer interested in the enhancement of property values , every workingman anxious for continued imblio improvements and employment for labor owes it to Imn.sclf to cast his ballot on next Tuesday as his iutore ts and those of the city may dictate. To vote .you must bo registered , Do you propose lo disfranchise yourself ilirough carelessness in not feeing that your name is on the voting list of your precinct ? The Now 1'nckliiK Houses Within a few days the mammoth pack ing houses of Fowler Bros , will bo added to the resources of the rapidly growing ndustrial community of South Omaha. The now packing house will bo of larger capacity than any of its predecessors. L'lanncd for botli present needs and fu ture requirements it is an evidence , of the growing confidence which the grout cast- 3rn packers have in the development of Nebraska Ilvo stock interests. Messrs. Hammond and Fowler ami Lipton are keen men of business wlto have boldly announced through their enterprise that the dressed meat and pack ing business must sooner or later bo transferred iu bulk to the center of Cattle and hog production. South Omaha has become an important meat center. Its market is steadily improving , as its product is increasing. Now railroad fa cilities arc bringing it nearer to the great ranges and feeding farms , and to the counties where the Nebraska hog is busily engaged in making corn on the hoof , the most profitable product of our farmers. It is only a question of months when the Armours and Swifts will find themselves forced to compclo for the Ne braska market. TUB terrible calamity on the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad Thursday night points a moral in the fresh illustra tion it cives of how much of human woo and disaster is due to carelessness and inattention to duty. A freight train brakeman neglected lo close a switch after his train had passed onto a side track , the conductor , trusting too implic itly his subordinate , did not sec that the vital duty was performed , and the fright ful consequence has boon told in the dis patches detailing the heart-rending story of the crash , the ruin and the holocaust. More than a score of lives is a fearful penalty of carelessness and inattention , which in Ihis ca.so , so far as can bo de duced from llic statements made , was wholly without oxctiso. The brakeman knew liis duty and had ample timn to perform it , before his attention was called to the omission , but evidently liis mind was not on liis work. For ti mo ment his thoughts had wandered away from the business which should have been first in his regard , and that moment was fatal. Biit the conductor driven msano , it is said , by the disaster is not blame less. His duty was even more impera tive than that of his subordinate , and the exigency demanded his most solic itous attention to it. It was not a time for thu extension of confidence. There was imminent peril , and un less the one thing needed to be done was done , inevitable disaster. It was n mo ment when the man in authority should have taken nothing for granted , but as sured himself that the one avenue to de struction and death was closed. Ho also foil short in his duty and must share the responsibility. There may bo a fault higher up touching those who employed men capable of neglecting their duty at such a time , and it is possible that this will appear when tin investigation fliall have disclosed all the circumstances of the calamity. The simple suggestion it makes to every man whoso duty involves in any degree the interests and safety of others in , that lie cannot devote himself too watchfully and sedulously to every detail of tils duty , and to those who have the employment of men for such business it urges the liocossity of the utmost care in selecting those who are entirely cap able and trustworthy. UovKitNOit Hirx , of Now York , very rarely opens his mouth m public without giving out something : in rebuke of the administration , Ho made a speech at Newark , N. J. , Thursday night , and took occasion to make a thrust at the civil ser vice rulu of the president with respect to public otUcials participating in politics. Ho remarked that there were no civil ser vice rules to prevent his speaking to the audience , and if there were ho should bo tempted to break them. The dispatch doesn't state what sort of reception this home thrust received , but it is safe to conclude that it found hearty approval. It reflected the very nearly uni versal democratic sentiment that the policy of Mr. Cleveland in putting a curb upon the political rights of democratic federal officials is n serious wrong and damage , to the party , and that the offi cials who submit to it are cowards. It is because Mr , Hill holds this vlow and bravely proclaims U that ho Is popular with the masses of the party in Now York and In all the region to which the political influence of Now York extends. And Mr. Hill understands his advantage and knows how lo improve It. THE citizen who docs not register is lost as a voter. Register early. Other Ijanda Than Ourn. Official circles iu London and at all the continental capitals accept as an absolute certainty that war in the cast will open-in j soring. In a recent circular to the powers liij'ri IllJosloigh expresses hopes that there will Do ; ; , * 5 ! . nual and peaceful issue to the crisis. , IIo nlso pj-aposes - a united expression of sympathy tot vhff Bulgarian government's oilorts to vindi cate its independence anil maintain order. To this none of the powers has yet replied. Prince IHsmarck will do his utmost to avert war. .Amongst other considerations ho knows that a _ conlllet between RtibSia atid .Austria would .bo the signal for a panic on tbo German bourses which would cause the ruiu-of thousands. Hut cvon Bismarck may prove powerless lei disperse the war clouds which seem gathering i so thickly in thu Halkans. The Bulgarian sobraujc , or general assembly , Is now in session for the purpose of .electing a ruler in splto of the tinnodnremont that Russia considers it illegal nutl will re fuse to rccjgiii/o any of its decisions. Foreign. ' dispatches state lhat U is possible that the choice of the majority will fall upon Prince U'ahle * mar of Denmark , but that he Is not likely to accept the situation. If ho were to become Prince of Bulgaria ho might.at no distant date find himself opposed to his own brother , tlioKingof Greece , and this togelhor with the insecurity of tiiu Bulgarian throne , renders the position hardly a templing ono for Prince Waldo- mar. This namu of Prince Bosopetrovic , cousin to Prince Nikldta of Montenegro , is also mentioned , but lie is thought lo bo impossible as a prince of Bulgaria for the same reasons as llio Prince of Montenegro - gro himself. There Is a third candidate in llic person of Duke John Albert of Mecklonberg-Scliwurln. The duke is now in his Ihirtieth year. Ho is brother of llio Grand Duchess Vladimir of Russia. Of Iho Iwo branches of the Mecklenburg the reigning family north of the Danube is of Schlavonic origin. Duke Albert holds the rank of captain in la suite in H hussar regiment of Prussian guards. His family not being wealthy some provision would have to be made for him in case of deposition. It is believed that Ger many would nol bo unfavorable to liis election and that Russia holds his candi dature in reserve. * * * Russia evidently holds llio whip hand and llio prophets who have been indus triously proclaiming for a week or Iwo past that her attempts to set at naught the will of llio people of Bulgaria were destined to end in failure are likely lo find out that they were in error. Ger many and Austria are also lo declare lhal Iho cleclion of llio sobranjo was ille gal , and , force the plucky litllo province to submit to Russia's demands. In com pensation for Ihis aid from llio govern ment of the two kaisers Ihe c/ar prom ises not to intervene in Bulgaria. As Russia will probably gain all it asked through intrigue and dissimulation , there will scarcely be any reason for tier to re sort to nny expensive and hazardous means lo accomplish her ends. * . The sonsiilioh of Iho week in England has been Lord Churchill's speech at Bradford in which the foreign policy of the ministry was cautiously staled. The lory leader intimated IhatEngland would protect her interests in' Iho east against any charge that Russia and the powers might think proper lo mako. On the other hand , ho assprtei that England was not the only power interested in the Balkan states and 1 > n that account it did not feel called upohi totako up the sword alone to oppose Russian aggrandizement. Lord Churchill torched very lenderly on Iho Irish queslion , , , assuring his hearers lhat there were notorious disagreements among cabinet ministers as to the Irish policy 10 bo pursued. As no Uelinilo Irish policy scorns yet to'havkj been formulated the announcement _ meaningless. Events iu Ireland niay force the gov ernment bctoro long to disclose their hand. Evictions arc 'increasing and there is said to be more than the usual amount of want and poverty , especially in Iho western part of the country. \ A typical Irish landlord is now bcinc brought into prominence in the person of Lord Clauricardo. His immense estates were acquired in the good old times , partly by court favor , partly by robbery from the Celtic owners. The Clanricarde of 1843 , perhaps the most notable of the house , by his treason to his friends and his loyalty to Ormonde , helped to bring to naught the Catholic confederation , the most hopeful organization of Irishmen prior to the naliotial league. Hence the present bearer of the title is strictly in line with the family tradition when lie is found among the bittercsl enemies of his country. Lord Clanricardo is a consistent absentee , Ho has visited his Irish property once in his life. He draws $ ir > 0,000 , every year from a people sunk In poverty , which ho spends in luxury and vice in London and on the continent. No man could more completely decline to do any of the duties which humanity im poses upon thu property-owner , if the law docs not. Ho is an enemy of the people. With this man Iho National league will try conclusions this winter. Clanricardo means to evict relentlessly the tenants on the Galway estalos. The league , in its struggle with such a landlord , must have tire sympathy and support of every right fooling man. After all , there is a line whore the rights of property stop and the rights of manhood begin. A system which grinds the white slaves of Galway into want and wretchedness and disease lhat ono man may gild his vices is Inher ently wrong. * The completion of the Mcrv & Oxtis railway to a point near Sarakhs , gives Russia a most valuable road for the trans port nt ion of troops and supplies to the Aftrlmn frontier. The c/ar has been try ing to induce the Ameer of Bokhara to enlist Rinsians in his army , and Russian officers disguised asjiioi-cliaHts have been inspecting the passes between Badakshan and Northern India. Thuso movements show that Russia han by no moans ceased to extend her inllneaco'.hi thu region ad joining the Indian frontier , and to on- gago'in cliaractonslo intrigue there slnco the Afghan boundary dispute was tem porarily settled. . * Vi The situation of the French ministry under M. do Froycinol is not imliko that of the Gambctta mlilstry just before its fall , The ministry lias not a trustworthy majority m the chiunb rs , nor has M. Clemoncoau , its chief rival. The latler can annoy Iho ministry indefinitely , and at any moment , by a coalition with the conservatives , can overthrow it , but no radical ministry could live a week. The situation pftr.ily7.es the ministry and coif- fuses ( lie chamber of deputies , Its chief peril lies iu 'the temptation to secure popularity by some rash movement in European aft'airs , and to this thu reported p Jf-n tends of opening the Egyptian question by Mot note addressed to England by Franco , Ku 4 ? . ' " "I Turkey. This was the game which Gampott.- ' * rivals were induced to play' in Tonquln and 'Madagascar , and it came near to ruining the republic. Yet it was not so risky , by far , as an intervention iu Ihe vexed eastern question. . < Keep It llcfnrc The republicans of Iho First district should aslc themselves whether a man having such a record as that of Church llowo lias any rightful claim upon the support of any decent republican. Leav ing out of question his corrupt methods and notorious venality wo appeal to re publicans to pause and rcllect before they put a premium upon party trea son mid conspiracy against its very exist ence. Ten years ago , when llio republican party was on the verge of disaster , mid every electoral vote cast for Hayes ami Wheeler was needed lo retain the party in powpr , Church IIowo entered Into tx conspiracy to deliver republican Nebraska into Iho hands of Ihu enemy , This infamous plot is not n mere conjec ture. The proof of it does nol rest on surmise or suspicion. It is not to bo pooh-poohed or brushed awny by pro nouncing it ono of Rosowator's malicious campaign slanders. The records of the legislature of which Church Howe was" a member In ' 70-77 , contain the indelible proofs of the treasonable enable conspiracy , and no denial can stand against evidence furnished by his own pen. Briefly told , tiio history of this plan lo hand over llio country to Tildon and democracy is as follows : In 1870 Nebraska elected Silas A. Strickland , Amasa Cobb anjl A. 11. Connor presidential electors by n vote of IJl.ulO as against n vote of 10,051 east for the Tildun and Hondricks electors. After the election it was discovered that the canvass of this vote could nol lake place under llic then existing law before the legislature convened. The electoral vole had lo bo canvassed in December at the latest , and the regular ses sion of the legislature did not beirin until January. In order to make a legal canvass of the olcotoral returns , Governor Garber called a special session of the legislature to convene on the Oth of Dccembor , ' 70 , at Lincoln , for the pur pose of canvassing the electoral vote of the stnto , The ' .lenioeralio effort to cap ture republican clceloral voles is historic. Tildcn's friends , notably Dr. Miller , hud been plolling for Ihe capture of one of llio electors from Nebraska , and it is also historic that a largo bribe was offered to one of the electors , General Strickland. The call of the legislature broke into the plan of llic plotters , and they found a will ing and reckless tool m Church IIowo. When the legislature convened at the capl- tal.Church Howe Hied a protest which maybe bo found on uagcs 0 , 7 and 8 of the Ne braska House Journal of 1877. The fol lowing extract makes internsllng reading : " 1 , Church llowo , a member of the legisla ture of Nebraska , now convened by procla mation of his excellency , Governor Silas Garber , for the purpose of canvassing and declaring the result of the vote cast in Ne braska for electors for president and vice prcsldi-nt of the United States ; hereby eater my solemn protest against such act , denylni : tnat the governor has power lo call Hits body in special session for any such purpose , or lhat this body has any authority to canvasser or declare the result of such vote upon the folio wine grounds : First. This legislature now convened hav ing been elected under what Is known as the old constitution , has no power to act In the premises , the now constitution of the state having been in foiee since November , 1875. " The second and third clauses deal with technical objections and are somewhat lengthy. The concluding sentences o/ this precious document are : vs follows : "For the foregoing reasons I protest against any canvass of the electoral vote of the state by his body , and demand that this , my protest , bo entered upon the journal. " ( Signed ) -Church Howe , member of the legislature of Nebraska , The democrats did not respond to the call of the governor and Ihore was barely a quorum in the senate , while there were ( several to spare In the house of , which Howe was a member. The protest en tered by Howe was doublless prepared by Ihe Tildon lawyers in Omaha and Howe had the glory of being the sole champion of Sam Tildon. The legisla ture ignored Church Howe , spread his protest on Its record and canvassed the electoral vote in spite of it. When the legislature convened in Jan uary , 1877 , the presidential contest was at its height in Washington. Church Howe had changed places from the house to the senate. Early in the session , a resolution was introduced expressing the conviction on the part of the senate that Hayes and Wheeler haying received a majority of the electoral votes were en- Illicit to their goats. This resolution gave rise to a very lively debate which lasted two davs. Church IIowo asked lo bo excused from voting when it first came up and was so excused. On the final passage of the resolution the record [ page 310 , Senate Journal 1877 , ] shows the following result : Yeas Ambrose , Baird , Blanohard , Bryant , Calkins , Cams , Chapman , Colby , Dawes , Garfield - field , Gilham , Hayes , Konnard , Knapp , Popoon , Powers , Thummol , Van Wyck , Walton and Wilcox-20. Those voting In the negative were : Aton , Brown , Covcll , Ferguson , Hinman , Holt , Church Howe and North 8. During the same session of the legisla ture , Church Howe's ' vote on United States senator for the first thrco ballots i recorded ao haying been cast for E. W. Thomas , a South Carolina democrat , [ pages 103 and 203 Sonata Journal. ] All tills time Church Howa professed to bo a republican independent , republican on national issues and a temperance granger on local issues. Wo simply ask what rignt a man with such a record has to ho support of any republican. PUOM1NHNT Senator Edmunds hns been In public life thirty-one years.

Cat tin FcadliiR Kxpcrlnient , On Oct. 15. at the regular weighing of cattle on the farm of the University of Illinois , a lot of hix choice steers.average- ing a few days less than 80 months in age , and 1,003 pounds in weight , were found to have made an average gain of 891-6 pounds in forty-live days ( from Sept. 1) ) and of 27 } pounds in the last six teen daj's. A lot ot four good steers , averaging a little over 80 months , anil 1,455 pounds , had made an average gain 150 pounds in forty-live days , anu of 58J in tno sixteen days. A lot of twenty-fivn steers of poorer quality and probably of not much less ago , averaging 1,118 pounds , had made an average gain of 118J pounds in the forty-five days , and of 41 pounds in the sixteen days. The lot of six have been on full grain- feed during all the summer and last win ter four of them also during the pre ceding summer. The lot of four were well foil last winlcr , but had no grain from Ma3' 1 unlil August 15 on full feed since September 1. The lot of twenty- live , with ono exception , were purchased in tno spring and .summer , and had been poorly fed during the winter. Since August 15 they have had the same treat ment as the lot of four. The average gain of the twenty-four purchased , since June 13when most of them were bought , has been 212 } pounds. These cattle have nil been on pastures nnd have been fed corn in the car , aver- ageing about one-half bushel per steer daily. They are fed throe times a day generally from the wagon as it comes from the field. The lot of six best steers have not had so good pasture as Iho oth ers and have eaten a little hay. Pigs "follow" all the catllo and pigs have grown rapidly from the corn left undi gested by thorn. Tlio variations in the rate of gain are partly explained from tlio poorer quality and smaller si/o of the larger lot of .steers and from llio longer feeding and much higher degree of fat ness of the lot of six. The facts concern ing these cattle tire In accordance with our experience year alter .year on the university farm , which scorns to show that , under present conditions in central Illinois : 1. Increase of weight in cattle is most cheaply secured by pasturage without any gram during tlio best part of the season. l''ooding whole corn m Iho autumn months to cattleon the pasture i * the most economical method of fattening cattle. The feeding is done witli thu labor. AV hen hogs follow the cattle there is very little waste , The manure is all saved and distributed without cost. While comparatively low prices are to bo expected for caltlo marketed in the autumn or early winter , a fair profit has been made annually. Even with the prevailing exceptionally low prices. Rales have been made ( for November delivery ) of most of the caltlo purchased last Hpring at a price which gives fairly natis- faclory proiil. 3. After throe or four months of full gram teeding u considerable decrease in rntJi of gain may be expected. 4. Apparently from BO to 'M months are thu most profitable ages at which to sell cattle fatlened on this system unless those of n litllo greater ago can bo bought at a price which gives no profit to tlio grower. . 5. It is-not profitable to feed grain to yearling steers on good pasture it it is designed to keep them another year and fatten for the gunoral miirkel. 0. Calves roared on skim milic , with ad dition of some meal , may make entirely satisfactory growth and'buef animals of good quality , A high grade shorthorn htcer now on the farms weighs 1,470 pounds , at a few days over 21) ) months , and with loss than two months' full grain feeding. He has gamed 185 pounds in the last forty-five ( lays. The four steers recently put on grain average 153 pounds loss than thu six which have been kept on full feed or , comparing them with tlio four of the latter lot , of like breeding and almost exactly the same iigo , the difftircnco in average weight is 172 pounds , Two steers of the lot of six , which were not grain-fed in the summer of 1885 , lack the pair only 115 "pounds of the weight of their mates which were full fed that sum mer. mer.Pure bred or grade Ayrshire , Hereford , Holstcin , and shorthorn cattle , ahido from some "common" block , ant in these lots , but nol in Mttlicicnt number to en able ono to dogmatize' to merits of the breeds.

The sow that has u litter of pigs re quires plenty of water. Her food anoultl bo sloppy , but pure water should bo pro vided also. She should also have a moss of grass or cut hay , steamed , with shortfl ( middlings ) twice a day. Only a small allowance of corn muni is necosnnry. 1'owls are so provided that they can grind nny kind of food eaten. Grinding ; llio food for them is therefore not nooo < stirv , unless for the purpose of feeding t\ mi xt tire of variety lhat cannot bo glyou them in any other shape. They should always linvu plenty of gravel for grind. ' ing purposes. The lirst tiling to do before storing corn in the crib is In have the crib rat' proof and well protected against boating ruins. Rats will destroy more grain than the most liberal estimate allows of loBa. and the crib should bo so protected as to prevent them from getting iu through any source. J Sheep cflectually keep down the woodij and harsh grasses. They are as bonu < ' fieial to some pastures as llio urunljij * knife is to Uis orchard.

In storing away garden seeds place them in woolen bags , with a piece of gum camphor in each bag , and also dust the seeds with insuet powder. These methods will protect the seeds against insects , which destroys many kinds , such as peas , beans , etc. All seeds should bo kept in a dry place , and an examination of tlicm should be made several limes during Ihe winter. Frozen poultry is often sent to market. Such fowls should bo dry picked. The method is lo pack a layer ot poultry in a , case and allow it to freeze before putting in Ihe next layer , and so continue until the casn is full. Then nail oh thu lid and kisnp the case where the poultry will not thaw until market ih reached , as alternate frcuxing and thawing is injurious. The diHurent kinds and sixes should bo separ ated. The crossing of breeds should bo done carefully. Attempts have often been made to establish permanunt Hocks of sheep which possessed thu qualities of both races , but without success. The re sults of those who have bad experience In sheep breeding by crossing any mutton breed on the Merino , with but'fow ox"- centions , have failed to reali/.e their ex pectations , ami have sacrificed their flocks or bred back to extirpate the foreign blood infused into llieir Merino Hocks. In many cases fall plowing can bo practiced to advantage. When the surface - face soil is too shallow it is best deepened by fall plowing , which permits thu portion tion turned up from below to bo mel lowed by frosl before a crop is planted upon it. The work can bo done at any convenient time as long as the ground remains open. The furrows should bo rather narrow , not thrown too Hut , nn ample means for the exit of water should 1m provided.
