10 always take pleasure IA publishing
any reliable Information which We can
obtain calculated 10 foster and encourage
this profitable husbaudry in our stale,
and more especially 50 iH this particular
section. We have from time to time
laid before our readers some highly ia
-trlIctive and valuable information from
the pen Of our particular friend, Col, Geo.
Wilkins Kendall, who is certainly the
prince 0( sheep TaiseIs in IeXes. His
views are always practical and coupled
with long experience, and = splendid suc-
cess There is no country Ia the "Wide,
widew0rldi better adapted "a the growth
or woal and mutton, than in Western
Texas aud there Is no business, II welltol-
lowed that viii pay more in proportion
30 the means invested and the attention
bestowed. Resides, this branch Of hus-
haudTy bids fair 10 increase in value with
every year-especially so, If cotton main
tains its present high iiEuFps, With the
increase Of the population of the country
there j. "a razp8ndingly increased de-
mand for food aud raimeBt. If the se-
Quel should prove that with free labor
il costs moF6 10 produce pound Of
cottun than it does pound Of
wool, who can imagine 90 what extent
the latter may and win be used
10 supply the place Of the former in the
commerce Of dhe world? Wool will GER
taiuly command high figures for many
years % come, and We never expect 10
zoe Texas wool quoted IN the future as
low a. as il has hUen ina the past. As
wool advances, 50 viii the price of sheep
advance. Texas sheep and Texas wool
are annually becoming Of finer grade
aud more sought after. Texas viii yet
mutton and more wool lhau any other
State ia the American Union, while the
quality Of both will equal the best in the
markets
While speaking upon tins subject we
may mention that we recently received a
call from a friend who resides i'm Bee
county MI John Mckenzie, who gave
/ a. some glowing accounts OF his success
1 in the sheep hushandry down in Bee.
| He Is engaged principally in raising iine
/ hl0Uded sheep, ON account Of the en-
/ hauced value of their wool. He recently
paid q visit 10 the ranch Of one of our
mountain wool growers, Mr.. VIM ID.
/ Parrish, and purchased from Mr.. l.. a
Spanish merino buck raised ON Mr. P5s
ranch, for which Mr.. Mckenzie maid
/ the snug little sum Of of four hundred
and fifty dollars. The original stock
were imported from Vermont by Mr.
| Parrish.
Sheep can he successfully raised IN any
| portion of Texas. But at the same time
there Is no doubt that the mountain
ranges are supeeior. Sheep love 30 climb
! hills, rocks aud mountains, and 10 crop
/ the short grass growing on uneven sur
faces They love 10 drink from clear
running streams, with rocky bottoms.
/ Again, we believe a dry climate Is pre-
/ ferable--they enjoy better health, and
there Is less danger Of losing lambs ia the

British Troops on ,he Marsh.
a London correspondent Of the Louis
| Vile journal says;
Vigorous steps for the prevention or re-
/ preston Of AN armed outbreak have been
/ taken by the authorities ia Whitehall.
| For the first time in several years has
( there been something BIKE business to
break the m0nOtOny of the War Office.
Troops have been sent over almost every
day 10 Ireland, and il may be doubted ii,
up0n the instant, a respectable military
parade could be gotten up in honor uf
some chance foreign pOtentate arriving
in London without calling out the Volun-
taers. The lazy, hulking, well fed fell
lows Of the Coldstream Guards, that one
Is accustomed TO see Of fine mornings
talking with the nurses IN kensingt0H
Gardens and the Regents Park, have
been marched away; the Dragon Guards
have followed them, and Pail Mall is de
nuded Of the gorgeous young Officers that
/ lounged about the steps OF the military
club houses. 1t Is 20 be hoped That there
will be no need Of their burning gun
powder in the Green Isle; and yet Il can
/ not be denied that there Is a very uneasy
feeling here as 10 the fa0le Of Fenlan-
Z ism.
