Sheep Raising in North Carolina.


/
Sheep Raising in North Carolina.
Wilmington Messenger
A practical question for North
Carolina has long been and still is
sheep raising. 1t has been 10 us
matter for astonishment that the
public men Of the past did not APP
preciate more this really very i'm
portant industry and 50 shape leg |
islation as to foster and protect it.
Not to give it protective bounties,
but to shield it from the destruc-
tive, wandering dogs that live, like
so many men live, by plundering
Others. We cannot doubt that
with proper laws, to encourage
sheep raising that it would soon
become one of the most remunera-
tive aud.i important Of ak North
Caro- lha.,iitlustries. At any rate
we would be glad to see this done,
for the actual advantages to the
people, and,tha capabilities of the
State in that direction can never
be ascertained until judicious:;a
brave legislation comes in to give
tia trial. OF the ninety-six eoun-
ties the probability is that seventy
five at least are we'll adapted to
sheep culture.
An examination of government
statistics-the census of 1890, for
instance-shows how greatly flour
ishing is this particular interest
i'll some of the states. Ohio alone,
We think, had in 1892, 1900, 900
sheep. North Carolina less, we
believe, tlaa. LOO 600, Why this
difference? 1t cannot bsaa * aihu-
ted to any great advantage in eli
mate.or grazing, The whole state,
with'iew exceptions, by reason of
soil, productions, climate, temper
allure, is we'll adapted to growing
sheep by the millions. There is
much profit in the business as wes-
tern farmers have found with only
dreary experience now and then.
we do not believe that to foster
sheep raising in North Carolina it
is. necessary to have a bounty from
the government, as the greedy
western sheep raisers demand
The industry can be made profta

The southern farmers, particular
ly those of our own state, CAN pur

operations. What Is special,
needed to make farming all it i
capable of becoming in Mort
Carolina is wiser diversifying O
crops, a better system of cultiva
ton and completer utilizing O
all advantages and opportunitie
that are offered. The farmers, a

should give more attention to frui
growing, and securing proper les
islation, to sheep raising. LIE

ment in incandescent gas burners,
| which relates to the production Of
incandescent gaslight based upon
the discovery that when the press

creased upon the incandescen body
the said body emits a golden-yel-
low light, very agreeable to the
eye, displaying objects in their
natural colors.
