Sheep Feeding in Otero County.

r. W. Patterson and s. r Buckley OF
La Junta recently made trip through
Otero county inspecting the standing OF
the sheep feeding industry. Mr.. Patter-
son tells the Tribune that the sheep
throughout the county have averaged
from sixty to eighty pounds in weight,
and the market price has ranged from
$500 to s5. As per hundred weight Mex
ican bred sheep have returned the best
results in regard to weight, averaging
nearly eighty pounds and bringing from
$5.25 to S5.35 OH the Kansas City market.
The lambs are doing we'll and the
losses have been trifling. but the farmers
should he cautious and be prepared for
storms which are liable to visit this Sec
tion at any time.
Most Of those engaged in the industry
are feeding alfalfa, the sheep averaging
and the hay costing from S3 to $3.50 per
ton. A few, however, have been feeding
corn with good results.
The feeders have realized profit this
season Cf about 50 cents a head, and the
prospects are that the industry will be
engaged in on much larger scale next
season and become a permanent as we'll
Ms one OF the most profitable industries
OF the Arkansas valley.
1t is estimated that nearly $4,000 sheep
are being fed in Otero county this season
which means clear profit to the feeders
of s4O.OOO besides the profits derived
from the sale OF alfalfa, the demand for
which has caused good prices to prevail.

RODS the canals can and do take all the
water from the channel, but 1t would de-
volve upon the plaintiffs in the proposed
suit to prove that il unmolested the WA

Conld not do for IL ia nm old trait of tha
river to "go dry" and since SO much OF
the valley has been placed under cultiva-
