Michigan LAUNDERING.

Tron tie LuEhsrzaaa's Gazette.
In previous numbers Of the GA
-ette we have given our opinion o
the extent Of operation in tn
/. woods the coming winter, based
; upon a knowledge Of the various
influences 81 work in favor of and
against a large cut of logs. Thus
far, there is no reason 20 alter the
opinions expressed. We hold il
10 he certain that there viii be no
lack Of logs next year 10 meet any
demand likely 10 come, judging
from present prospects. For the
last week or two, men have been
engaged for the woods, aud started
from the several cities Of the Sagi-
nav Valley. The men seeking
engagements do not find the de-
mand brisk. or anything TO COM
pare with the business Of former
years, but still a great deal has
been done in the aggregate. Wa
Ces, too, are better than was ex-
pected. The prevailing rates have
ranged from $50 TO $40 per month
only choice men. well known for
some valuable qualifications or long
service, getting the latter price
however. On the whole the win
tiers business in this line has open I
cd out more favorably than was
anticipated, and. if we were 10
judge by this single circumstance,
it would be easy to imagine that
better times were near at hand.
The laborers are much better pro-
viied for than any one would have
cared to promise two months ago.
IL the Saginaw region proper, to
which the above remarks upon wa
yes apply, there viii be a fair
amount of logs put in. Along the
shore, northward as far as Thur
Ter Bay, the same state of affairs
exist. AZ Alpena, however, the
chicago influence is felt, and
operations are laid out upon a
more liberal scale. The fact that
he Chicago market will come
bout three hundred millions short
f handling its usual amount this
ear, and that Chicago buyers have
,een frequenting the Saginaw riv-
r markets for some time past,
Gems TO have convinced the west
hore people that there is to be a
-reat demand from that quarter
ext year, and this influence, as !.
'efore remarked, extends around
o the Lake Huron shore at least
: far as Thunder Bay. Above
hat point the operations grow.
till more brisk, until we reach the
iuskegon region, where we find /
he most extensive preparations
ct reported from any quarter.
Dur correspondent who has lately
listed the several west shore dis
riots, has given a very full ac-
.ount of the projected operations.
We apprehend that the prospects
Ibove set forth will not be chang
d materially as the winter sets in,
md that the results next spring
will varify our predictions. The
streams being generally almost
clear Of logs, and the improve
nents to facilitate log-driving
having done away in a great
measure with the chances against
getting out the crop, we may rea-
sonably expect that there will be
no serious hanging-up of logs, but
that what are cut will be got into
the mills during the season.

Profits of Sheep Farming in Nebraska

The farmer who settles on Inc fertile prairie 8
of Nebrask should make livestock" watch
word. A correspondent in that State sends us
the following encouraging showing" made by
Mr.. Myers, of Gage County q sheep farmer,
who has been about four years IN Nebraska
Gage Couuiys in the southern portion OF theStats
and a branch of the Burlington < Missouri
River Railroad runs through IL. The land is
good and the natural grasses sweet and nutri-
tive, but 1t is no more than iair average oi
Nebraska, south of the Platte.
Mr.. Myers thus figures he problem OF sheep
farming in Nebraska, with flock OF l 600 head:
loo Ltons Of hay, costing$3,00, per ION for
putting up, $500 500 bushels of sheaf oats
$lOO; shepherding for months, Sl5O. wages ol
one man for months, 800; do one rnonth,
$50; washing, shearing, aud packing wool losses
at two per cent, SO, total, $l,0S6. By 500
iba Of wool, at 40c. per h., 81 500 400 lambs
at 5. 50fl 900; total So 500
MIR. Myers considers his allow ance for tx
penses very liberal. He charges hay At loo high
a figure and the percentage OF loss is not gen.
eraly 80 large as stated, as sheep are subject TO
no disease Whatever, on the Nebraska prairie.
One man also could take charge Of flock of a
thousand during the summer month; and, in
winter, one hoy could feed them IA il is best TO
let the sheep run to the hay all the Time. and
he oats are to be fed in the sheaf Mr.. Myers
further claims that if farmer will 90 most OF
his WORK himself. hiring help only when it is
necessary harvesting hay, shearing, &c
the sheep will pay him $500 per head, As
against 81 90 when help is hired literally. Mr.
yers estimates his sheep to be worth s., 80 each
Ca ], 900 sheep,the investment would be SS.500
and Us the net profits show would amount To
81, ,765; the return on the investment is over 81
per cent.
