Sheep in the Far West.

A correspondent of the Rocky Mount
ain Husbandman, speaking of the adj
vantages of sheep over other cattle on
the Western ranges, says: 1t is a noted
fact that there is far less alarm over
the prospect of short winter feed among
sheep owners than any other class of
stoclzmen. The reason of this is that
sheep thrive on very short feed, and
when there are any points bare along
our foot hills, focks MAJ be kept fairly
well, even if the grass has been closely
grazed in summer 1t is also fact that
it is possible to keep three or four thou.
sand sheep on hay about as easy as to
keep so many hundred cattle. Sheep
do not seem to consume food in proper
ton to cattle. This is probably due to,
the fact that they are constantly rust
ling for themselves throughout each
day, except when it is storming, while
cattle having no herder are inclined to
lay around the premises and not go out
to feed even in pleasant weather Sheep
are bettet- adapted to the exhausted
condition of our ranges, by far, than

CALIFORNIA CABBAGE.
A Huge Specimen Which Brought About
Wedding.


Romance and the rose go hand in
hand, and the dainty violet and the
modest lily have often opened the por-
tails of love, but it has been left to Cali
fornia to produce the only cabbage that
has ever led to real romance that
wound up in wedding.
Eighteen months ago, according to
the unquestionable statement grain
merchant of San Francisco, there stood
in front of the door of one of San Fran
cisco's real estate dealers cabbage
from San Bernardino County weighing
ninety-two pounds, and said to be the
largest ever raised. While this produc-
ton of CALIFORNIA; greatness was on
exhibition the Oregon express landed
from England two Britons, so fresh
from their native soil that they walked
along the dry and dusty streets with
surtouts down to their ankles and their
trowsers rolled up to meet their coats.
They were both bound for Australia.
Passing along they espied the wonder
full cabbage. Both men stopped short.
Up went two single eyeglasses.
'By Jove, old boy, that's doosedly
large cabbage, doncherEnow."
"Doosedly large" replied the second
surprised son of Albion, and then they
both went in and inquired of the real
estate man where it was grown.
Both men were wealthy. Both men
were cousins, and while unknown to
them the busy hand of fate was now at
work, it only seemed to the curiosity
seeker that in deciding that life would
be misspent unless they saw the land
upon which this cabbage grew that
they were obeying the idle within of idle
gentlemen in going to San Bernardino
do so. And so they went.
Englishmen as rule are not garru-
lous and these two friends were no ex-
ception. Once in San Bernardino they
were directed to the farm where the
cabbage grew. They remained two
weeks. At the end of that time one OF
them said to the rancher:
81 want 80 much of your land in a
certain section. How much is il
worth?"
"Four hundred thousand dollars"
1t was paid for. The other friend said
to the rancher:
"Your daughter is very beautiful and
love her. l want to make her my
wife"
There was wedding at the ranch
There were a number of people present
friends of the family, and the groom
threw aside his taciturnity long enough
at the supper table to tell how the big
cabbage had led to his happiness.-Sar

DRESSING POULTRY.
If 1t Is Properly Done 1t Is Sure to Brini
Fair Prices.

If 1t Is Properly Done IT Is Sure to Bring
Fair Prices.
Poultry that is intended to be shipped
should be dry picked, but for the home
market the fowls intended for market
ing should be separated from the flock
twenty-four hours previous to dressing
and food withheld, so the crop will be
empty, for if the crop is full it must be
removed or it will decompose, and to
remove it disfigures the dressed fowl.
They should be tied in pairs and hung
across line or pole, and bled in the
mouth, and in few moments, if rightly
bled, we can begin the dressing.
A boiler of water just at the boiling
point should be in readiness and no
more scalded at one time than there are
dressers. Take fowl by the feet and
head and dip three times in the scalding
water, and lay it down upon the board.
If the fowls be young and full of pin
feathers begin on the legs just where
the feathers begin, and press the fingers
firmly downward toward the feet; this
makes clean stroke, taking all the pin
feathers along; the next stroke little
higher the same way, until the feathers
are all taken off, and the skin will not
be broken, as tits liable to be when you
pluck the feathers and afterwards go
over them to pick out the pin feathers.
Next, dip the legs in and remove the
skin, leaving the legs on; then cut off
the head and draw the flesh over the
end of the neck and tie it with q string.
This gives the fowls more attractive
appearance than when the bead is left
on Next, draw out the entrails, break
ing them off close to the gizzard, leav-
ing the rest in the fowl; then double
the wings under so you can pack them
closely in basllet-and your fowls are
ready to sort and deliver.-Mrs. |. Gail

Effects of Food on Wool.

A French contemporary directs at
tention to the influence on the quality
of the fce"e of the food which the sheep
eats, ana dwells on the following four
points: j, To obtain the right quantity
of good food the sheep must be well fed.
,. If the sheep receives too much food,
or food which is not nutritive. the wool
lacks strength, is destitute of grease,
and becomes in consequence flabby,
rough to the touch, dry and harsh. 3.
Regularity in the distribution of the
food is very important; faults in this
matter affect the quality of the wool.
4. There is a difference of opinion about
the action of certain food on wool. All,
however, agree in ascribing a marked
influence to fertile pastures. The wool
of sheep that enjoys such good pastur-
age isabundant; the fiber is long and is
characterized by its softress, white
ness, luster and strength. Sturm. who
is high authority on thu. subject, has
proved that all the foods which promote
perspiratiOn produce afinc Wool,

Experience Essential to success.

What is wanted to insure success in
the poultry business is experience; this
is essential in every case. Experience
leads to the correction of errors, and
enables one to do what capital alone
can not accomplish with profit. No
person should devote his entire time tc
or expend large sums of money in the
poultry business until he has started
at the foot OF the ladder and worked his
way up to a large business. Failures
usually occur because poultry men,
who have but limited experience, are
too impatient and hasty in the endeavor
to DO in a single season that which re-
quires a practical knowledge in the di-
rection 30 which they have turned their
attention, Begin in a small way ard
