A Tobacco Gentleman.
Only a short time ago, says the Osceola
Sentiel, while we sat in an Osceola store
we saw a man and his wife from the country trading. The woman had the appearance of being a hard working, industrious,
intelligent lady.   She   was  examining   a
eiece of calico or other cheap dress goods.
_he clerk said: "Shall I cut yon off ten
yards?" The pale-faced, over-worked
woman turned to her husband and in a
timid, frightened manner asked him if she
might buy a dress, as she needed it and
the cost would be Jess than one > dollar.
"No " he grunted, "I can't afford it;" and
yet he had j ust paid as much for a great plug
of navy and a paper or two of smoking tobacco." The poor, illy-clad, but neat
woman, subsided as though this was no
new experience while her rough, coarse
•tnd animal husband bit off a mouthful of
(he weed, and ordered her to get ready for

I Poultry.
The poultry exhibit was unusually fine, there being
not so many birds of the inferior grades, but more of
the first-class quality. The increased premiums
which tlie liberal ju lgment of the State board appropriated for this exhibition was the means of bringing
into the State fair contest some of our most prominent breeders and fanciers, who had formerly withheld their birds, not considering the State fair a first-
class poultry show. The result of this experiment of
the board has been a success and places the State fair
poultry show on the list ot first-class exhibitions. We
anticipate, too, that the next State fair exhibit will
exceed this, ha it will then be understood that the best
of stock will be represented, and that competition
will be so close as to give winning birds high rank in
the feathered world.
HEAVY   WEIGHTS.
Heavy-weight birds did  not   score   high   figures,
breeders stating that hot weather and excessive fat
were not compatible  with safety, hence  they had
made no eflfort at high feeding for weight, but had
brought tfceir birds from the ordinary walk and every-

Mrs. M. Ross, Shelby- tion of Greenwood county. Mr. Robert
Loy, near Eureka, cut from 8.50 sheep *,>,-
350 pounds. Prof, Thompson, near the
same place, cut from a flock of 1600, 13,1.00
pounds. Another flock of 750, yielded 7,-
500 pounds of wool and 675 lambs. At the
public sheep shearing at Winfield in
May, one Merino buck from l.utler county,
cut 35 pounds, while many run much
above the average. These public shearings
which are held in the best stocked counties are becoming a source of much interest andbeneflt. Hereviewsareexchanged,
methods discussed, and general information imparted. These reports are of courso
from men of experience in the business,
yet entirely within the reach of all. To insure a good clip, care should be used to see
that your sheep are always in a good condition, and that you may obtain the full
increase, groat care needs to be exercif-cd
during lambing time. Seldom do any of the
best growers lose more than ten percent,
of their lambs, while many who do not
exercise proper care, lose from twenty to
sixty per cent, besides a large falling ofl'
in wool, a shrinkage suflicient to pay for
all the extra care necessary to bring their
flocks up to the highest standard.
The large and increasing demand for
woolen fabrics, and the demand for
mutton Avill always mako sheep husbandry
a safe and profitable business. For years
Australia, South America, andothercoun-
tries, have been shipping wool into this
country, and now much of the wool is in
the hands of wool dealers awaiting a condition of the market that will justify them
in selling. If these countries can aiVord
to ship their wool to this market, what, a
grand opportunity there is on our western
prairies to compete for the trade, not only
for foreign consumption, but for foreign
trade. To men of enterprise, Kansas oilers
one of the most promising fields in the
West, liut to laggards and t«~«-—~j-»~«:—

Laws    Governing the   Industry—Best
Kind to Handle.
Written for the Indiana Farmer:
CARE AND EXPENSE.
Under this head may be said to rest the
entire success of this industry. ThereiHno
more affectionate animal than the sheep,
none more ready to respond to acts of
kindness, and there is no one thing
in stock raising that brings a larger
return than kind care and attention, and in this alone rests the
success of all our successful growers. Tho
cause of many failing in the business, is
the want of care. They turn their flocks
out on the prairies, seemingly with the
idea that they can eat enough during
summer and fall to last them through winter, and do without shelter save as nature
has furnished it. That their returns are
small, and their herds greatly diminished
during the winter is easily accounted for.
Prairie hay can be put up in most any grazing portion of the State for from ?150 to f 2 00
per ton. In ordinary winters they estimate about one ton to ten sheep, and from
one and one-half to two bushels of corn
per day to the hundred; though many use
millet, fodder etc. Millet produces more
water and is cooling, while corn acts in a
two-fold sense, warming the body, and
adding oil to tho wool, and thus Alls the
two most important offices of sheep food.
In the summer a corrall of wire, or a portable fence is sufficient. In winter, sheds
should always be provided, so that in case
of storms or cold weather, you can give
your sheep shelter. A shed 50x20 feet
wide affords shelter for 300, which can be
put upat a cost of about $h0to$15. Herders
command from $10 to f 15 per month.
SOME RESULTS.
The results of the past are but the index
to what may be expected in the future,
and what has been the success of one, under like conditions, is possible to all. The
average clip from the common sheep is
from two to three pounds,' and from the
Merino, from six to ten pounds.
These statistics are taken largely from
the report of the Wool Growers'  Associa-
Building Pens for Sheep, Etc.
Editors Indiana Farmer:
In erecting pens and sheds, care should
be taken to make tho entrance large
enough. Sheep ought not to bo crowded
in going in and out. Many fine animals
have been injured in that way, for sheep
go in and out of their quarters, when feeding time conies, witli a rush and huddlo
closo together. If the entrance is sufd-
ciently large, tliere need be no danger
of crowding. AU weakly, scrawny lambs
or sheop should bo separated from thoso in
good condition and allowed extra rations
to catch up. Poor, scrawny sheep never
stand much chauce in a llock of fat, thrifty
ones, as thcyareapt to bc knocked around
and seldom get their share of food. I am
glad to see that farmers are waking up to
their interests and getting sheep of improved breeds. The old-fashioned long-
horned, coarse wooled and partially wooled
kinds ought to give place to such as the
Cotswolds, Downs and Merinos. Not
only is the yield of wool greater, but it is
of superior quality, and brings a much
higher prico. As mutton, they are also superior, both in quality and quantity.
•Sheep, judiciously managed, pay better, all
things considered, than any otlier class of
stock, while as a general thing they aro
less trouble than most other stock. Tlio
price of wool is rather low at present, but
like other things, the business will have its
ups and downs. J. U.S.
Logan, Ind.
The immense herds, now aggregating
20,000,000, which roam over the pampas of
the Argentine Republic, and now form,
with the sheep, almost the whole wealth
of that country, are all descended from
eight cows and a bull which two Portugese brothers, named Goes, took to the
Spanish colony thero in 1553. It is only
within a few years that an effort has been
made to improve the much depreciated
stock of the country. As yet only a few
cattlo near Buenos Ayres have been crossed
with Short-horn breeds.
The sale of Short-horns offered by Jas.
Hall and C. M. Clay, Jr., takes place at tho
Bourbon fair grounds Paris Ky., on the
12th inst., next Wednesday. The catalogue before us shows tliat the offering is
an excellent one as regards animals and
pedigree. ' Forty-five head will be sold,
and the sale is likely to attract buyers,
since pastures now promise to be good for
the fall season.
Mr. Shef. Ckuhpacker, Iaaporte county, Ind., has just arrived home from
France with an importation of fifteen thoroughbred Norman horses, as fine as ever
imported to this country. A two year old
stallion weighs 1750 pounds.
J. K. Mooney & Co., Pleasant View Farm,
near Louisville, Ky.,have sold a Short-horn
bull to Ia.L. Dorsey, of Ky., and a./erw-.v bull
to C.J. Remy, of Hoik-,,Indiana. Tiny
