Wool Growing in Iowa.

Wool Growing In Iowa.
The following letter is furnished US
by H. W. Fyfe, Esq, of Iowa City, to
whom it was addressed by its author. |
We are permitted to publish it:
81 cheerfully contribute my testimo-
ny in favor of wool growing in Iowa. I
have abont six hundred sheep-Spanish
and French Merino. I prefer the Span
ish, but consider cross of these pre-
ferable to full blood of either, thus
securing the heavy fleece Of the Spanish
upon the larger frame Of the French.
I have always found could buy par
tial improvement, say three fourths,
cheaper than I can make it. l never
saw sheep do better than upon the
prairies up to about the LIST Of October.
Every wool grower should be provided
with tame grass, or some equivalent.
Have found pumpkins, and perhaps
some grain, fed judiciously, an excell-
ent substitute. Ny principal winter feed
is Hungarian grass or millet and car
rots. -~tg- cg.E g
And in this connection, let me say .
word in favor of the former. have
tried it thoroughly, and prefer it to
anything I ever saw given to sheep. !
prefer it to tame hay, say, two tons of
the millet to three Of the tame hay
OF course, a change Of feed is desira-
BILE, and have found corn fodder sowu
and harvested similar to grain the best
In point of economy. the Hungarian
grass is unobjectionabls. believ'
that it can be raised cheaper than prai
7 RE hay can be cut.
J, Roots, I believe, are indispensable
to the perfect health of sheep. l fee
to each 100 sheep 800 bushels of car
, rots, with 10 to Ii tons of millet.-
, Have had no diseases to contend with
although l have had IS high a. 1,1O'
herded together during the summer. D.
, not believe = healthy flock of Merino
will contract disease with proper care
Always keep salt with q little sulphu
mixed within reach Of every one.
generally keep from rs to 100 in eac

, feed outside in the common board rae
|. with bottoms. Intend all shall hav
access to running water. There can b
, no objection to wintering sheep on th
| prairie, providing they are completed
. protected from the wind. 4
VI I think the climate of this State az
mirably adapted to wool-growing, tt
: winters being dry and sufficiently col
to give the fine quality and good slap
e necessary to profitable fleece. l b.

Burglary In West Liberty.

FRIEND JOURNAL: - On Friday night, the 9th OF
April the drug store Of DR.. &. W. Dunlap, of this
place. was burglariously entered, and upon exam
ination of the premises next morning, it was dis
covered that a certain john, alias "Demi john, d"
alias 'Tangie foot" had disappeared; and, upon
search being made, his lifeess remains were found
in the cattle yard OF the NJ. n. RS;,road, his
neck broken and his b dy shockingly mangled. The
his untimely end, for he was to them on many
occasions source of great comfort; but although
they seem soirtual!y inclined, they give no evil
dence that they look upon his loss their eternal
gain The Doctor and his friends are using every
means in their power to ascertain who are the
offenders, and it is expected that, when they sue
coed, they will inform the public of all the facts in
the case. And further this deponent saith Nix.
