Mr. Weaver, of Nebraska, made an unlimited silver coinage speech. I Mr. Clements, of Georgia, thought that the true8 test of t)e value of silver was not the gold standard as established in countries where the value of gold had be-m enhanced by the demonetization of silver, but' the purchasing capacity of silver, tested by itsipurchasiog capacity. Silver was now worth as muck as it had ever been, and' there was no ground for .'the' assertion' that ' the standard dollar was a d'shonest dollar.

Good farmers discovered long ago that no kind of stock would trample down and work into ; good manure so large a mass of straw and rough feed as a flock of sheep. Under a good base ment barn a flock of sheep may be ? fat- tened, and in the meantime make an amount of manure that i will pay ior a considerable part of their grain fdod. In feeding breeding ewes, no grain will be required until after the' lambs are drop-' pea, and it should then be given ; spar ingly. Unless a farmer has dry shelter for his stock he had better not ' try to keep sheep. A barn basement is best but a tight shed that will ; exclude rain ; and snow will be warm enough for fat tening sheep. For breeding ewes, if the lambs are to be dropped in cold weather,: a basement under the barn is indispen sible. !
