SHEEP IN GLARE COUNTY,
Did Well the past „Season wtH
.    . great Increase in Prpspect
for 10O4,<.      ■
Those engaged in sheep ranching in
Clare county during the jJWsent .year
agree that while their sheep have,
done much better than sheep on lower:
lands, they have not done so well as
during drier seasons. All agree, however, ■ that their sheep have been* a
profitable investment and there is
every prospect of a great increase in
sheep grazing during next summer.
Apart from those on general farms
during the past season close onto 7,000
sheep were grazing on wild land
ranches in Olare county.. But present}
indications point to a large increase*
for next year. P. D. Brown, who with
those associated with him has a large
tract at Hatton, is positive that sheefii
do well oh Olare county wild lands,
He is wintering.800 at his Riverdalf-
farm west of Uiare and he and  bis"-
. partners all expect considerably to Inf
crease the number next year over the
. 2,000 sheep and lambs they grazed oA
their Hatton lands this year. J, 11

Clare and E. A. White is puttingyin
sheep on his ranch in west Grant.
Dr. L. L. Kelley is increasing-the
number of sheep on-his' fah'-fr in
the northwest of Surrey township.
Sheep will probably be placed on' the
Wright ranch at Lake George next
summer- and in different parts of the
county the sheep ibdustry will increase.
Sheep grazing is important, not for
sheep alone, but because it will be a
stepping stone to utilizing much dand

Brodie. the bridal party entered the

occasion and just at- high noon the
nuptial troth was plighted, Eev. A. L.

The bride wore a handsome tailored

bouquet of lilies of the valley during
the ceremony and later a sealskin coat

Fierce Legal Battle.   .
An alleged mal-practice case with a
Mr. Griffith of Gilmore as plaintiff and
Dr.'L. L. Kelley of ITarwell as defeh-
dent is being tried tbis week in circuit court before Judge Dodds at Mt.
Pleasant. With a brilliant array of
legal talent the case is being contested
inch by inch. Starting Monday morning testimony for the plaintiff is not
yefc all in as we go to press and it will
probabl,*/require most, of the week to
complete- the trial.' Attorneys Lacy
of Clare a,nd McNamara are counsel
for the plaintiff and Attorney Searle
of Ithaca and the Prosecuting Attorney of Gratiot county, for the de--
fendent. Many witnesses were called
and it is one of the most fiercely contested cases tried in Isabella county
for some time.
Shelter Your Horses.
John O'Callahan with W. H. Pierce
has constructed on his property east
of Clare Roller Mills,,a mammoth ten
cent barn with accommodations for
100 horses. Mr. Pierce has charge of
the constructive work and will be in
charge of the barn which is ready
for business this week. . A, nice
waiting room has been built in
connection therewith and,the public
will be given prompt service. It is to
be hoped that not so .many horses will
be seen standing on our streets so
many hours in such storms as in
former winters.

SIXTH .ANNUAL ROUND-UP.
itarmer's Institute,. A Series of
Inspiring Meetings.
It seeming to be customary for
country newspapers,tq. give some excuse for faririers absenting themselves
from meetings provided at state expense for their benefit, we may perhaps well say that- the present cold
wave had something to do with the
small attendance.
Prof. J. A. Jeffery of 'lie Agricultural College is conduct- r .aid the results of his almost en-U-js' research,
experiment and study of agriculture
was freely given to the farmers and
others in'attendance, L. W. Oviott of
Bay county was also in attendance,
and Mrs, Emma A. Campbell of Ypsilanti was state speaker for the
ladies' section.
The Tuesday evening session was
especially interesting. Jas. G. Roxburg and Norris Elden, accompanied
by Mrs. Roxburg, gave two instrumental duets .that were well received.
The products of corn was the subject ably handled by Prof. Jeffery, his
talk, illustrated by a dozen or more
products' of corh which he passed
among the members of the audience,
these specimens having been obtained
from, a glucose factory.
Then after two pretty solos rendered
by Miss Grace Giberson, accompanied
by Miss Cooper, which were greatly
appreciated and enjoyed, Mrs. Campbell spoke on the topic, Profitable
poultry management. Valuable points
were brought out in her discussion of
this important subject, which show
that the "speaker knows whereof she
speaks.
The best crop on the farm was the
'subject L. W. Oviatt took for his evening talk, and it was deeply impressed
upon' the hearts of his hearers, From
the farms come the statesmen of our
nation.
G. B. Pease lead in the discussion
on the topic, The farm horse and its
care, and aS Mr. Pease has had many
years' experience in training and feeding fast hOrses he has an excellent
idea of horses generally - and made
xnany suggestions valuable to the
farmers in this community.

women's section.
This year the women's section of
the farmers' institute was held at the
pleasant home of Mrs: D. E. Alward
and an attendance of sixty were present. Miss-Grace. .Giberson, accompanied by Hazel Alward, rendered two
very pretty solos and. a. memorial service was held for Mary A. Mayo. Mrs.
Emma A. Campbell's address, A talk
with Homemakers was inspiring, the
influence of which will go on and on.
Mrs. S. L. Kramer read an excellent
paper on Home Influence on Educar
tion, and Mrs. H, J. Masten took as
her subject Humane Education (kindness to animals) which was pronounced excellent. Mrs. P. M'. Loomis
read a paper 'on Character Building
which was well received. The discussion was general and the interest
high. Miss Giberson was tendered a
rising vote of thanks for efficient "services also to Mrs. Alward for her
genial hospitality.

elected as'follows:
President,—Mrs. P. M. Loomis.
