SUBSCRIPTION,
Advocates Sheep Raising.

pleasure of driving over the country East of here recently, in company with Col. Ed. H. Rife, of Wyoming, who is look ing this country OCT with a view of locating a large sheep ranch somewhere in Northwest Ar kansas, and 1 have found him to be the most intelligent gen. tleman it has been my pleasure to meet in many days. He is 8 gentleman that is we'll Tn formed on all matters of busi- ness and, while he is worth many thousands of dollars, he is just as sociable as any of our common farmers and he is reaoy to impart any informa- tion in regard to sheep raising to any one desiring the same. I learned a great many things that was new to me.
 He says this country certain ly has the advantage of his for sheep raising, in many instances: First, in the water; second, the climate. He says out there, their ewes lamb in May, while ours lamb in Feb- ruary, thereby giving us three months earlier market on our wether lambs. He sold his wether lambs last year at five months old for $2. .25 and S2 40, and says we have much less freight rate to Chicago than they have. He has 11,000 head of sheep at present and has been offered $4.25 per head for them. One of bis partners in the Bank bred 3S,. 900 ewes last year. He thinks every farmer in this country ought to keep at least 50 to 100 head of sheep. He says large farmers in Iowa and Nebraska go out West every summer and buy from one to ten car loads of sheep, when their corn is in silk and turn their sheep in their cornfields. The sheep will eat up and destroy every thing from a coekel-bur down, thereby keeping all weeds and grasses from going to seed and from being so numerous next year.
 Now, if every farmer in this country would only keep-say from 25 to 100 head and let them eat out the weeds and grass in their corn and stub ble fields every year, our farm CTS would soon see the the diff ference in their soil and crops as we'll. He told me how the farmers should improve their present stock of sheep. He says where a man has 100 na tive ewes he should buy two French Merino bucks. This gives the better grade of wool, and then, he says, take the ewes of this breed and buy bucks of the Lincoln or Sharp shyer. This gives the increase in size and he says then we will have as good sheep as they have in the West. His 11,OOO head averaged s 12 lbs of wool per head, lambs and all, last year. This would make 93.500 pounds; fully four car loads. He says just as soon as our farmers will begin to raise sheep for profit and get enough to interest buyers, they will be here from all the Eastern markets to buy both sheep and wool, but he insists on our farmers getting better breed of sheep. It takes no more to feed and care for d sheep that will make 8 I-2 lbs of wool than it does to keep them that only makes 1 or 5 pounds. This certainly is true. He also says that after an eve is seven years old fat ten her and put her on the market as quickly as possible, for they begin to decline at seven years of age. He also advises the sowing of these billy and gravely lands in alfalfa he says it will do we'll here in these hills, and will
