Cara of Sheep Dmincr Winter. It Is a misiake to think that a straw stack is suilicient protection, and that the sheep can rick from it all the food they need during the winter. Is It any surprise the sheep kept in this way arc n disappointment, and the owner says that sheep do not pay? For in the pring the sheep that remain alive to tell the tale will probably have lost about half their wool, and the little that remains will be of very poor qual Jty. , They need protection from the cold winter storms, but the buildings need not be expensive nor too warm; all that is needed is to keep them dry and sheltered from the winds. I'aulty Plumage. If in white birds or in parti-colorcd pecimens colored feather appear, black feathers in white especially, they will oftentimes be replaced by feathers of correct color if pulled.

We have seen sickle feathers corrugated along quill and white in black removed and afterward replaced by a perfectly black pair.

A most important article giving Messrs. Oxnard's and Cutting's views on the beet sugar Industry in this country appeared on the editorial page of the New York Evening Tost of De cember 12 last, and as every house hold in the land is interested in sugar the article will be of universal interest. THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY. The Evening Post bids the heartiest welcome to every American industry that can stand on its own bottom and make its way without leaning on the poor rates. Among these self-supporting industries we are glad to know. Is the production of beet sugar. At all events, it was such two years ago. We publish elsewhere a letter written in 1S99, aud, signed by Mr. Oxnard and Mr. Cutting, the chiefs of this Indus try on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains, showing that this was the happy condition of the trade at that time. If parties masquerading as beet sugar producers are besieging the President aud Congress at this mo ment, and pretending that they will be ruined If Cuban sngar is admitted for six months at half the present rates of duty their false pretences ought to be exposed. The letter of Messrs. Oxnard and Cutting was probably written for the purpose of Inducing the farmers of the Mississippi Valley to go more largely Into the cultivation of beets for the sugar factories. 'This was a laudable motive for telling the truth and show ing the large profits which awaited both the beet grower and the manufac turer if the industry were persever ingly and intelligently prosecuted. To this end It was pointed out that farm ers could clear $G5 per acre by culti vating beets, and might even make $100. But in order to assure the culti vator that he would not be exposed to reverses by possible changes in the tariff, they proceeded to show that the industry stood in no need of protection. The beet sugar Industry, these gen tlemen say, "stands on as firm a basis as any business In the country." They point out the fact a very Important one that their product comes out as a finished article, refined and granulated. It is not, like cane sugar grown in the West India Islands, a black and offen sive paste, which must be carried In wagons to the seaboard and thence by ships to the United States, where, af ter another handling, it is put through a costly refinery, and then shipped by rail to the consumer, who may possi bly be in Nebraska, alongside a beet 5. mmmmrm ihl tm 5N vl Mi V Si I Its component parts are all wholesome. It acts gently without unpleasant after-elfects. It is wholly free from objectionable substances. It contains the laxative principles of plants. It contains the carminative principles of plants. It contains wholesome aromatic liquids which are agreeable and refreshing to the tasie. All are pure. All are delicately blended. All are skillfully and scientifically compounded. Its value is due to our method of manufacture and to the orginality and simplicity of the combination. To get its beneficial effects buy the genuine. Manufactured by IoSvriJp San Francisco, Louisville. Ky. FOB SAL BY ALL LEADING sugar factory, which turns out the re fined and granulated article at one fell swoop. Indeed, the advantages of the producer of beet sugar for supplying the domestic consumption are very great. We have no doubt that Messrs. Oxnard and Cutting are within bounds when they say that "sugar can be pro duced here cheaper than it can be tn Europe." The reasons for this are that "The sugar Industry Is, after all, merely an agricultural one. We can undersell Europe In all other crops, and sugar is no exception." ' It follows as naturally as the making of flour from wheat. If we can pro duce wheat cheaper than Europe, then naturally we ''can 'produce flour cheap er, as we do. But the writers of the letter do not depend upon a-piiori reasoning to prove that they can make sugar at a profit without tariff protection. They pojnt to the fact that under the McKinley tariff of 1S90, when sugar was free of duty, the price of the article was four cents per pound.. Yet a net profit of $3 per toa was made by the beet sugar factories under those conditions, not counting any bounty on the homo pro-"1 duction of sugar. They boast that they made this profit while working under absolute free trade, and they have a right to be proud of this result of their skill and industry. Many beet sugar factories had been started in bygone years, back in the sixties and seventies of the nineteenth cen tury, and had failed, because the pro jectors did not understand the busi ness. Since then great progress has been made, both here and abroad, la i lie cuiiiY iuuu uuu uiuuipuiaiiou oi mo beet. What was impossible thirty years ago is now entirely feasible. Tfie Industry is already on a solid anden during basis. There arc factories "kt the United States, these gentlemen tell us in their letter, capable of using 350,000 tons of beets per annum atja profit of $3 per ton, and this would make a profit of $1,050,000 as the In come to be earned under absolute free trade. It must be plain to readers of this letter, signed by the captains of the beet sugar Industry, that the people in Washington who are declaiming against the temporary measure whica the President of the United States a . lit i ! J t 1 - f a ' urges for the relief of the Cuban peo pie, are either grossly ignorant of the subject, or are practising gross decep tion. The tenable ground for them Is to say: "Other people are having pro tection that they do not need, and therefore we ought to have more th4t we need." This would be consistent with the letter of Messrs. Oxnard an$ Cutting, but nothing else is so. AND N T ON STRAIGHT FRONT Are made in all the latest shapes and colors.
