SHEEP ON ALFALFA

Al'aIfa ~ constantly growing in popular

NOUS alfalfa grounds of Kern county, and
ever 70 the moist lowlands OF Los Angeles
and San Bernardino counties. have found
that that the great amount OF alfalfa wh;ob
Gan oe grown TO the acre and the high price
whlch can be had for the clean bright wool
"hich comes from alfalfa pasturage are
great inducements to the tame style of wool
growing on lands which are suitable. The
same course Of conduct is spreading in the
he"erstates o! the Rocky Mountain district
we ma an account Of this tendency and its

we gam the following statement:

plains. This plan may be considered bv
some as visionary and impracticable. 1t is
she onEy way to meet the continual emer-
geneies now arising III Texas, Colorado. and
many other sections now suffering from n
lack OF sufficient feed and shelter: these

capitalists are preparing cattle ranches upon
more secure method for future handling,

ana cheaply done. This will necessitate
the owning OF the lands and establishing of
homes, where comfort and culture NAV sur

1t is the right way, and the sooner adopted
by the wool-growers Of the South and West
the better. 1t has been evident TO observers
that f1ocks and herds have had to go further
out, year by year to find pasturage Some
