Pointers ON Sheep.

Ifyou are planning to go into sheep
growing, plan to begin on a small scale.
One who is new i'm the business has it all
to learn, and he can learn most OF it from
few sheep at far loss cost and loss than
from large flock. Any good pasture
land will answer for sheep, unless it be
low. wet, marshy and swampy.
Comparisons made by careful experts
show that 900 pounds of sheep will live
and thrive on the same amount of feed
that is required by l,000-pound steer.
The farmer, who has been growing beef
and may wish to switch off on to sheep,
can compute on this basis how far he will
have to increase or decrease his purchase
or production of fodder when he makes
the change.
Growing young sheep will thrive on
grass, clover hay and heterogeneous foods
i'm general, while fattening sheep must
have more carbOnaceOus foods.
Sheep can consume good deal of bark
and cordwOOd, but those two folders will
not make the sheep thrifty.
Lambs dropped before May LIST need
more care than those dropped later.
Lambs should never be allowed to fat
ten unless they are being prepared for the
market.
Ewes with early lambs need foods that

So carefully are these regulations

the danger, but entirely. to the en-

the danger. But the accidents Of
this year arising from the firing Of
shots are mostly Of another char

suit of miner who has fired a
shot going back to investigate the
cause of it's not having gone off, or
of having, in his desire to achieve
speedy results, bitten off the squib
too short. Such accidents as these
occur, of course, in the mines
where the danger from coal dust
does not exist and the miner is al
lowed to fire his own shots" ]"

per cent, while the accidents have
increased In greater ratio. Many
new slopes and shafts have been
sunk, and this, perhaps, has been
one of the causes of interest. |
am bound to say that in my in
vestigations | have rarely found
that any action that might have
been taken by the operator to pre-
vent the accident has been neg
lected, but that all reasonable pre-
cautions against such accidents
have been used. As consider
the protection to be afforded to the
miner by the use of proper precau-
tions to be my chief duty. |
have given this matter close at
tention during the past year. An
analysis of the accidents shows the
first and principal cause of acci-
dent to be the falling roof, OF which
there have been twenty-seven dur
ing the past year, eleven of which
have proved fatal. The roof of
the mines in the Indian Territory
is an argillaceous shale, which,
when dry, appears hard and firm,
but when subjected to moisture
rapidly disintegrates and 'slacke,'
causing heavy falls to take place.
Exposure to moist air will in q
very short time transform this ap-
parently hard substance, first, in
to a dust, and afterwards into
sticky mud.
at is during the summer and
fall months that the moisture sinks
into the mines, causing the roof to
sweat, as it is called, and becom-
ing source of great danger and
expense. In the dry winter
months, when the moisture in the
air seeks the outside. leaving the
air within the mine devoid of
moisture, the subtle volatile coal
dust permeates the mine and be-
comes the source Of danger from
explosion to which the Indian Ter
ritory mines have been so often
subject. Therefore it must be
considered that in the territory a
special cause Of danger is existent
at all seasons in addition to the
other numerous risks incident to
the business and inseparable from
the operations of coal mining.
Investigation will show that
these accidents are generally the
result of want of care and disre-
gard of precautionary measures.
However, it may be said that un-
der some conditions these mines
make gas so rapidly that accidents
of this nature will occur in spite
of all rules and regulations, or of
their strict observance.
"The next most prolific source
of accidents in this territory is in
connection with the firing of shots.
Allusion has already been made to
the danger existing from the coal
dust if an explosion is initiated by
a windy or bIOwoutshot, and in
order to reduce this danger to
shot irers are required
to be employed at all mines where
this danger exists. In some Of the
mines in the territory the charac-
ter Of the strata underlying the
coal and forming the ground or
floor is Of such character that the
dust mingles with the coal dust
and renders it harmless. This is
especially true at Lehigh and
Coalgate. These shot firers, where
are especially required
10 examine ali shots prepared, and
not only to refuse 10 fire badly
shots, but 10 report these
