The platform demands, among other
things, the free and unlimited coinage of
silver, the passage of laws prohibiting the
alien ownership of lands, limitation of
revenue to the necessities of the govern
ment, an equitable system of graduated
income tax, and the election of president,
vice president and United States senator
by direct vote of the people. A national
conference is to be held in February, 1892,
to unite, if possible, with all other reform
organizations. If this conference does not
make nominations for president and vice
president, a national convention has to be
called for that purpose not later than June
IA, 1892.

In their direction the contestants arc
thrown quickly into their pens and the
battle is over.
When the shearers leave the herders set
tie down for a long summers monotonous
existence. With the faithful and intelli-
gent shepherd dogs for company they ride
out with the 1ocks In the morning and
corral them at night. Even the herding is
done mostly by the dogs. On some eleva-
ton the herder lazily passes the time, send
ing the dogs for a half mile or more around
the flock. closing in the stragglers and d.
recting their course in grazing. Occasion
ally a prairie wolf will become bold, and,
sneaking up through the long grass, seizel
a lamb and start with it. Then the dogs
and pony and rider are on their mettle.
For miles perhaps the intruder will be
pursued, but it is seldom that he can be
captured. Nothing but a bullet and an
extra good greyhound can overtake a
coyote.
Should the sheep be alone when any dan
ger from wolves or strange dogs threaten
they will in a measure protect themselves.
Forming quickly into a circle. the boldest
and strongest take their station on the
outside, and with fretfully stamping foot
and shaking head bid the intruder defiance.
To a certain limit nothing could be drawer
or more praiseworthy, but let the enemy
hold out and the defenders lose courage
and a heller SHELTER retreat takes place
that would be comical were it not so pitt
full. Often the injuries inflicted by one
another's hoofs are more serious thar from
the dogs or wolves.
Sheep raising has become one of the great
industries of the plains, and the dry at
mosphere, the unlimited pasturage and
the good prices for the product are making
the industry popular. Every year nun
dreds of thousands of sheep from Mexico
are being driven into the states to replen-
ish the tlocks. The sheep of this country
are of much higher grade than the Mexi-
can, and their yield of wool is more than
twice as much. In the southern country
no care in thoroughbred breeding is taken,
while here the tendency is always upward.
Sheep barons are becoming as num-
erous as cattle barons, and many of
them count their annual income in five
figures. 1t will not be long before Ameri-
can wool will fully supply Americas needs.
