Sheep In South Dakota.


The country over around Edge
mont is rapidly becoming great
sheep district. 1t is estimated that
the wool crop for the season will
amount to 694, 600 pounds, which is
nearly double the amount clipped
last year. The sheep men are plan
ming to erect large wool warehouse
in Edgemont to b. ready in time for
the clip next spring, and if this plan
is carried out the wool crop next
year will be nearly double again
this years clip. The lamb crop of
last year gave nearly 40 per cent OF
this years clip and upon this basis
the clip for next year is based. The
average clip to the sheep was ABOUT
eight pounds. Some of the heaviest
sheep owners in this part of the
Black Hills range are: H. L. Reed,
who sheared about IL, 900 sheep, and
expects to shear 10000 next year,
and John Cans, who SHARED 5000
sheep, and who will purchas and add
to his flocks to the number of 25, 600
before next spring. There are a
great many flocks of from 800 to
1000 which are owned by men just
getting started. The wool clipped
and marketed in Edgemont this year
brought nearly 500, 900.

A Monster Feeding Institution.

"A monster ooO1QR 1nSClCuClOQ.
Perhaps the biggest cattle feed
ing institution in the world is that
of the Standard Cattle Co.. of Ames,
Nebraska. This company owns
5000 acres and rents 1900 more for
the cattle it feeds. This work began
ten years ago with over 5000 head
and in the winter of 1878 over g.
900 were fed. The principal food IS
corn raised on their own land at q
cost last year of 16c bushcl, the
yield from PHI acres being II bushels
per acre. There is one large barn.
70Ox220 feet, in which 5000 head are
fed. The cattle arc not tied by the
neck but are shut up loose in small
pens, with room to move but not to
turn in. From ten years expert
ence good deal is learned. In the
first winter, 1865 81, the cattle were
fed l5l days for a gain of l3S pounds,
less than one pound day. Last
year they fed POI days for gain of
257 pounds per head A little over
one and one-third pounds per day is
the gain made over the whole time,
but it must be noted that these are
all ranged steers from Texas, Mon
tana and Wyoming, perhaps rough
ly bred and bound to take unkindly
to confinement'of any sort. Besides
those fed in the stables over 5000
head are fed in open lots, about 800
head in one lot. The whole lot used
to be dehorned, but for beasts to be
fed in the house this practice will be
given up as it eAt%ils u loss of about
a months feed, besides the fact that
healing is pretty slow in some in
stances. The cattle have water in
front of :hem and d feed trough
from which two rows of cattle feed.
About fifteen pounds of corn and
ten pounds of hay, with from four to
seven bushels Of oil cake during the
season, are fed in three meals daily
to the indoor lot. Those that run
out eat a good deal more and the in.
door system seems good dca
more profitable. The cleaning is
done by running stream OF water
along the cutters. and alter thi.
manure has got solid it is taken ou
on the land. All labor saving de
vices possible are employed, reduc
ing the cost of Attendance to 81 so ;
head for the whole 200 days. The
cost for food and attendance is only
lOc per day. The low price for corr
is prime factor in the reduction o
cost. In few other countries coult
such feed be produced at so low ;
cost. It's price fluctuates and on,
year the feed bill ran up to $24S5 ;
head for 1852 days, while in 1867 i
was only sl2 80 for 2l5 days. Per
haps the age of the cattle when pu
up has good deal to do with tn,
