CATTLE AND SHEEP MEN At WAR,

But in 1871 a herder took 1000 sheep
to Montana. which have Increased
since then to something like 100000
The sheep then took up claims along
the water courses, leaving to the cow
men the dry land away from the
streams, which they had fenced of
from the cattle.
The loss Of the enormous free ranges
is gradually turning the cattle men
into farmers, who feed their cattle in
sheds in the winter-in the north with
corn, in the south with cotton seed
and in making mere farm hands out Of
the once free and Independent cow
boys.
The vast roaming herds Of cattle are
gone from the western plains forever,
and cattle raising has become the pro-
sale business Of turning grass and corn

into meat. However, wherever any

the sheep herders seem to have the
best Of the argument.
The days Of the "free range" when
the grass belonged to whoever chose
to take it, are numbered. When the
great western plains country was vir-
gin land and pasture there was room
for all. Hundreds Of vast herds Of
cattle ranged up and down the land,
never conflicting and seldom meeting.
In the summer they drifted from Tex
as to the northern boundary Of the
country, and when the "northers" be-
gan to blow, heralding the approach Of
winter, the herds moved to the south
before it.
Then came the settler, and while he
was despised by the cowmen as a
"nester," open opposition did not ap-
pear until he put barbed wire fences
around his place. As the settlers
grew in number the fencing of of the
range became a serious menace to the
cowmen.
Little Free Land Loft.
Little by little the settlers en-
croached, until now the only free
ranges left for the cattle are in West
ern Kansas and Nebraska, the western
portion Of Washington and Oregon,
parts of Wyoming, Colorado and
Montana, a small portion Of Utah and
the land leased from the Indians in
the Indian Territory. The great Texas
ranges are owned or leased by the cat
tie men, as they are in many Of the
! western states.

retaliation that have been frequent
since these two classes began to come
into collision on the ranges.
The average person will naturally
wonder why there should be such ami
mostly between two classes of men en-
gagged in similar pursuits in q country
which has always been termed the
''free and boundless west" where every
man was supposed to have an equal
chance with every other, and where
there was room for all.
In the beginning there was plenty
OF room for all, but there came a time
when the settlers cut up the country
into farms and the land available for
free pasturage shrunk until there was
room only for the strongest.
But this was not the real cause of
the contentious between sheepmen and
cowmen. 1t arose from the difference
between the two classes of live stock.

and, no matter how they scatter, they

able distance from home. o.
Sheep Ruin Pasture Fields.
Sheep, on the other hand, are noma-
die and gregarious. They march across
the country in huge flocks, as many as
5000 being cared for by one man and
a dog.
But wherever sheep have fed the
cattle will not go. A flock of sheep
will clean up a range, eating the grass
down to the roots, destroying the wa
tering places and leaving behind a

The sheep eat all the %underbrush
and destroy the young trees, and the
thousands Of sharp little hoofs pack
the soil, so destroying it's porosity that
the grass will not grow after they
have passed. A single flock of sheep
will thus devastate a strip of land a

another in parallel paths will destroy
an area of grass land five miles wide
and hundreds Of miles long.
These facts. taken in connection with
the constantly shrinking pasturage,
supply the reasons why'the cattle men
hate the sheep raisers and have tried
to drive them from the land. In their

WINTER EVENINGS.
Pleasant way to Spend Thorn in wood
Carvlne 6

Carving q
There are some who have long urged
the extension Of home or domestic in
dustries to both town and village
workers. BY home industries Is meant
those handicrafts SO many Of which
could be carried on in the workers
own homes-rich or poor-and which
would do much to interest and to in
crease the income Of those engaged in
them. When we look at the industries
carried on In the workers homes
abroad, especially in the rural dis
tricts, 1t does seem rather. surprising
that we should lag behind. In Switz-
.erland Matchmaking, except at Geneva,
is mostly carried on Is a domestic in
dustry. In the Jura, parts OF the
watch are fabricated in nearly every
house by some member or members
of the family. Silk-weaving in Eur
ich. Aargau and other cantons Is car
ried on by means of looms lent to the
workers. In Germany the famous
Black Forest clocks are almost entire-
ly a domestic industry, while toys in
any quantity come from the Thurin-
gian workmen. In Austria home in
dustries are common, spinning, weav-
ing, wood-turning, w~ood-carving, en-
broidery work, basket-making, straw
plating, ETC., being very extensively
carried on in this way. There is
every reason why thousands in our
great towns, in our small towns and
in u villages might apply themselves,
to some form or other Of handicraft
work as the winter season comes and
when the evenings are so long. Work
such as that OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ing, fret work, repousse work, bent
iron work, wood turning, embossed
leather work, modelling in leather, etc.
ARE not difficult to learn; the tools
required are not expensive, and with
a little industry and some organiza-
ton, both pleasure and profit would
accrue. to those engaging in them. In
the country districts the question of
organization is serious than in
large towns, though it is a detail not
impossible to overcome. It is a very
remarkable thing that we should inn
port so many hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars worth of knickknacks and
of little articles of utility principally
because u WI people do not them
selves know the way to produce them.
Take the a s Of wood-carving alone
as an illustration Of what is meant by
the inexpensive character of beginning
it. Here the learner requires at first
three chief kinds of tools-namely,
some gouges, two or three flat chisels
and a veining tool or two. With these
he may practice simple designs. A lit
tie later he may go in for some carv-
ing punches and a few other tools, all
OF which, from the very start, would
cost him but very little. The art, too,
is by no means difficult to learn by
any one who takes an interest in it.
What he has chiefly to remember is
not to copy too slavishly the designs
of others, but to show his originality
in creating designs and work of his
own. What applies to wood-carving
applies in the main to all these do
nestle industries.

herders are as great as those Of their
respective callings. From the very ma
ture Of his occupation the cowboy is a
wild, free being.
He breaks the savage and almost
untamable ponies to the saddle and
then rides them. His work is swift
and vigorous, and his charges are the
great, strong, free bulls and cows that
have never known the touch of the hui
man hand. He lives and endures hard
ships with others of his kind, and his
pleasures are as fierce as his work. His
is the strenuous life.
The sheep herder, on the other hand,
pursues his solitary occupation afoot
his only companions being a dog and
the thousands Of stupid sheep, which
have no individuality, and are mad
deningly, m~onotonously alike. The
very loneliness of his occupation has
made the herder either a morose and
sullen brute or a poetic dreamer, with
all the fight worn out Of him.
How Sheep Are Often Killed.
The west still rings with the stories
of the conflicts between the COW men
and the sheep raisers. When the flocks
began to grow in the west the cow
men fought the herders as individuals.
Their resentment was at first merely
personal.
Whenever a cowboy found a flock Of
sheep on the range he stood OF and
with his rifle picked OF sheep after
sheep until he had exhausted his am
munition. When he could shoot. no
he rode of, greatly pleased to
think that he had left behind a badly
scared shepherd and had caused q loss
to the sheep owner. If the herder
showed fight he, too, was killed.
A clever cowboy discovered a sure
method of scattering a flock Of sheep
and making it move on. He gathered
up a few hundred head Of wild steers,
and with his companions drove them
pell nell through a flock. This maneu-
yer was usually SO successful that II
became q favorite source Of amusement
for the "punchers." ss 8ss y

THE trouble is that as yet there is no

status of an abandoned plank road. The
Plank Road Company claims to own the
bridge structures and to have acquired by
deed land at each end. They have said
that they proposed to resist any infringe

that one alone concerns us, would have
to do 80 without a statute or any legal

very curious for the Board of Free

the part of the Plank Road Company.
1t would seem necessary to have some
decision of the court, or some act of
the Legislature to give US authority in
