The purchase of the Tully ranch
at Flora Vista by the Gouiding
brothers. who are among the largest
owners of sheep in this section and
are men OF enterprise as well as
means is another instance of the
tendency of stockmen to secure per
manent winter feeding grounds in
this county, where they can winter
stock with slight chance of loss. The
Gouldings paid $4,000 for this 800
acre ranch. They will clear off the
unimproved tracts and will make
many improvements, breeding fancy
stock for the markets. The sale was
made through our energetic real es-
tate dealer, Granville Pendleton.-

Sweeping n Carpet.

Many carpet is worn out prema
turely by injudiciOus sweeping. Stiff
carpet brooms and the stout arms Of
inexperienced maids are their destruc-
ton. In sweeping thick piled carpets,
such as Administer and Turkey carpets,
the maid should be instructed to brush
always the way Of the pile, says WO-
mans Life. BY so doing they may be
kept clean for years, but If the broom
is used in a different way all the dust
will enter the carpet and soon spoil It,.
Without the greatest care and some lit
tie knowledge furniture and paint, by
being knocked about by the broom,
may soon receive an irreparable
amount of damage.
