70 the Editor OF The Herald
Not finding cheap sheep for sale
south OF San Antonio, we set out on tho
lith instant for look in this section,
and from here We 20 to Fort Clark,
which Is near the Rio Grande, We
found very pretty section for ten
miles west of San Antonio, then the
country became very brushy for several
miles until wo cams within seven miles
Of Custrovile, here we saw AZ fine n
country as | ever saw-some rs good
farms as are in the state and some as
fine fields Of wheat as ever saw We
found Castrovile German town, and
here we found plenty Of thrift in the
Medina valley ON some very fine farms,
from CastrOville to the llondo, n dis.
lance of ten miles, we found u
poor rocky, brushy country, a
poor section fol sheep. South of San
Antonio. we found all the cattle are
gone, and too brushy for sheep. From
the llondo to the Sabinal, about twens
ty,seven miles, we found no place for
sheep, ut the Sabinal, we struck good
sheep country here we found Peter
Bhaner, u German, who has made n
fortune by sheep raising, and will make
two more if he has ten years longer;
his annual incomeis $l5, 600 from sheep.
Four miles further on, we struck Mr.
Wish, where we spent the night A man
who began to raise sheep fourteen years
ago, with ninety Mexican ewes; he has
given two hundred ewes to his son and
daughter, and sold about five thousand,
he has now on hand seven thousand
choice sheep that will shear six pounds
of wool per head, per annum.
He sold 200 muttons last spring at
So 80 each, on his rancho He will sell
$4,000 worth of wool this spring. lie
shears his sheep but once year, A
good pl ce, | am satisfied His bucks
cost about $50 each, and shear about
twenty-one pounds each-are Spanish
marinoes, from Vermont. he Will
market this spring about 800 nuts
tn, at, SAY, 50 so; will raise about
5000 lambs, worth about SO each--an
animal income of over $4,000. Hand
some, is it not His lambs begin to
drop the first day of March, and cease
the fifth day of April He raises about
eighty>tive lambs to one hundred ewes.
He sold his wool last sp:ing for 253
cents q pound Mr.. Hish gives
his personal attention to his sheep,
hence his success. He offers some
sheep next August at 80 each,
For some miles west Of his ranch we
found good, open prairie country
Eight miles brought us to the Fro.
From the Frio to this place we found a
rough country. Found no sheep so far
that can be bought until after shearing
time. This is a beautiful little town OF
about five hundred people-about three
fIths Americans, balance Mexicans
From San Antonio to this place we
were seldom out of sight of wagons,
hacks or carriages. In fact, 1t is In,
credible to state the amount OF travel
and commerce that passes over this
route, from San Antonio to Eagle Pass.
We visited flock of two thousand
sheep four miles north of here this
evening, and found them in good con,
diton, just beginning to lamb. Found
them on good sheep range. More when
we return from Fort Clark. $.
