Wool in California.

The san Francisco Bulletin publishes
table showing the quantity and value
OF the wool annually exported from
that port from 1854 down to the present
time. Beginning with 10000 lbs. the
first named year, the progress has been
continuous and very rapid. until the
shipments, In 1874, reached this enor.
nous quantity of SO, 0ss, 7Ol lbs, which
is nearly three times as much as in
1859, only five years ago, and five times
as much as In 1867.
In another point of view the table Is
Of interest, although we find no refer
ence to 1t In our contemporary. From
the statement of values, 1t seems that
the average wool exported In 1854, was
worth eight cents per pound. In 1860
It had risen TO IL cents a pound, and
passing over the fiuctuating values
during the warm 1870, 1t reached IS
cents u pound. and In 1874 about 22i
cents. This seems TO show that the
wool Of to-day II Of better quality, and
In far better condition than that ol
twenty years ago. The Bulletin thinks
that the sheep husbandry of California
will continue to grow in the future, and
adds;

been greatly Increased of late by large

The Question Of Profitable
Production

Every where turns on the supplies OF
manure in some form or other. Any
farmer will tell you that if he can get
manure enough, there is small trouble
in raising crops, and if he can use
large supplies of manure, he can get
the biggest kind of crops. If there is
any limit to the quantity of fertilizers
that can be applied with profit, the
farmers of New England have not yet
reached it. But 1t Is equally certain
that our farms, as a general rule, can
not, at present, be made to produce as
much as we want to use. Here
and there u rare exception may be
found, where there are facilities for
keeping large stocks of cattle and feed
ing a great deal of grain purchased off
the farm, or for boarding a large num-
Der Of horses through the winter, but
this Is not and never will be the case
generally.
We may do all We can to develop the
resources of the farm, and still there
will remain the want OF greater luanti-
ties of fertilizers than we can scrape up
or the farm itself.
The question then ONE home TO
every farmer, what shall I do for ma
nure? 1t Is we'll enough to tell him
that he should buy feeding stufis, that
he should look after his compost heap,
get out muck, have a barn cellar, and
save all the liquid manures ofthe stalls.
| Many q farmer does that already. But
the ambitious man is not and ought
not to be satisfied to stop there. He
knows he can do much more with the
| use of fertilizers, and he knows that ii
he a buy honestly made fertilizers,
he a get his money back and more
with it. Any intelligent farmer is will
ling to pay a fair price if he can only
class and honest article of its kind. He
no more doubts the expediency of ex-
changing money for than of
exchanging 1t for seed, or for salt, or
for fvc:ory cloth. But he does not al
| ways feel so sure Of not being cheated
in his purchase. lie does not know
enough of chemistry to judge hy the
analysis given. aud if he did, 1t Is sad,
but true, that analyses are got up
expressly to mislead rather than in
form and guide. 1t IL true that we
have d law to protect the buyer
from frauds, but he don't want 10 get
into a lawsuit, even if he vas sure to
get righted by ii, which he never is.
Nor is it always sBfe to buy a brand
which did well last year, for good goods
are sometimes sold below cost as "A bait.
Is there any safe way? Yes, one-and
practically. only one. 1t Is to buy OF
manufacturers who have earned Il rep
u~tation for integrity by long years OF
fair dealing, and who would not cheat
if they could as easily as not.
The Middlebury register. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1850-1882, 1875-06-01

purchases of thoroughbred sheep, b
which fiocks have been graded up 10 a
high standard. California IL one of the
best markets open for the sale of high
priced thoroughbred sheep. Some of
the more wealthy wool-growers are not
staggered at any price IL they find
thoroughbred sheep to suit them. They
probably find their count In these
purchases, or they would not make
them. If IA wool-grower can Increase
his fleece on each of ten thousand sheep
half a pound y year, he knows well
enough that thousand dollars which
he pays for u single thoroughbred
sheep will all come back to him.
The wool interest Is 10 be largely in
creased hereafter by the remarkable
success of alfalfa, which will enable
| holders of small tracts to make them
more available for wool-growing than
many of the rough areas OF much
greater dimensions now directed to
sheep runs. None OF the great sheep
ranches will be abandoned but a great
many persons will elect to take the
smaller tracts nearer TO towns, and
bring them up to the capacity of the
large range for wool-growing pur-
poses. The raising of thoroughbred
sheep alone ls becoming an important
industry in California. When we
hear one of these fancy sheep farmers
talk about $4,000 as IA moderate price
for a small group of sheep numbering
hardly two hundred, we get a hint Of
the possibilities of wool-growing, snd
of the extent of that interest in this
state at the end Of another twenty
years"

Sheep H~usbandry.

In reply to A. c. page 23l. | will
say that l keep from 80 to 100 sheep in
one pasture, according to the size of
field and the plumber of sheep kept on
the farm. The Spanish Merinos are
decidedly the hardest, shear the heav-
lest ~fleeces, and make more good NUT
ton aud wool than any other kind, as
far as my experience goes. For winter
feed l use pasture in all available cases,
but at such times as the weather re-
quires, l feed hay, corn and oats. A
stable should be IL 10y sc feet for 80
sheep. We should o Keep 200 in one
flock. One ram is sufficient for 10 to
80 ewes, according To his age and vigor.
Turn him In about the middle of Octo-
Der. Let the lambs run with the ewes
four and a half to ave months. Always
feed hay in a rack. One should take
pleasure in attending to them If he
would succeed. 1t costs no more to
raise a good sheep with a heavy fleece,
than all inferior one with a light fleece.
In the summer good Merino wethers
will sell for five cents per pound, when
ordinary shearing wethers will only
sell for three cents. Good Merlno
sheep will always sell, ever when in
ferior sheep are not wanted. COUNTRY
GENTLEMAN.
