From obsei walton and what |
learned at the time of my visit and
inquiry of farmers whom | have since
seen | believe it would be a pleasant
and profitable branch for your farm
ers to embark in. 1t is true that
these sheep thrive best in the noun
famous countries. If a success here
it must be in your section; your land
is rolling and the climate somewhat
milder, which gives an opportunity
for grazing much earlier. 1t is also
true that, like women, they are nat
urally headstrong, yet a barb wire
fence will stop either.
Bass fishing in this section will
soon be at its height. In all of my
rambles have come across numerous
small encampments along the many
streams. Only yesterday | saw one of
such dimensions that | thought at
first it was protracted meeting, but
little snake bite which was invit-
ingly placed around, with other SINH
lar and more delicate constituents
caused me to abandon such a conclu-
sion. In all of these encampments
the parties are from Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Ohio, and like all
who are fond of field and stream
sports were hospitable and courteous.
They reported fine sport, which was
fully verified by the pans of large
bass to be seen in the cooking depart
ment. Each and all of the encamp-
ments are under strict discipline
each man has his part. At one |
70 und the preacher was the cook and
you might know he was a good one.
II am now in the heart of the
mountains, stopping at a delightful
homestead. 1t forms one of the
sweetest and most inspiring pictures
l ever looked upon in natures great
gallery. 1t is situated in an amphi-
| theatre, entirely hemmed in by noun
tains, whose splendors at the open
ing and the dying day no pen can de-
scribe, and where the music of the
distant streams ever reminds one of
the laughter of the foam as it breaks

THE ANGORA SHEEP FARM.

Col. William Kilgour Describes One of
CARROTS Latest Fads.
In the last issue of the Montgomery
County (Md.) Sentinel Col. William
Kilgour, of that paper, who has been
spending the summer in Oakland,
contributed the following description
of the Angora sheep farm located in
this county:
81 have just returned from a days
visit to the famous Angora sheep
farm, and to me it was not only
novel but a deeply interesting scene
along the line of husbandry. The
farm comprises nearly 500 acres, most
ly mountain ridge land, and covered
with brush peculiar to such land.
Here and there are small cleared
fields and occasionally patches Of
glade meadow, which are heavily
fringed with every variety of brush
and briars, very conspicuous among
which is the hazelnut, which grows
in great profussion. Its one side lies
along the Big Yough,' a poetic and
picturesque stream, widely known
for its fine bass fishing. The balance
of the farm is surrounded by an I'M
broken ridge of massive mountains,
whose crags mingle with the clouds.
1.-The flock numbers 675-150 are
lambs-the balance are registered, a
small tag in each ear, and imported
from Mexico and South America. In
appearance they are not unlike the
goat, only they are more handsome
in appearance and exceedingly grace
full and nimble in their walk, with
much larger horns curling backwards,
and this latter arm of defense enables
them to knock a dog out in the first
round. Indeed, you can't get dog
to 90 near them-all make for him
and if their blows do not kill, the dog
never renews the attack. They are
docile and affectionate as a kitten,
and with the approach of a storm
make for their shelters, but will not
run or herd with our native sheep,
whilst they can climb crab apple
tree like a squirrel, and will strip it of
every leaf and bud in a very few mo-
ments. A flock of thirty or more will
soon clean a large field of everything
in the shape of briars, bushes and
every character of vegetable filth.
1.-The meat, | am told, is very nutri-
cious and palatable, but not to com
pare with native mutton, which is
regarded as the finest in the world.
Their value doubtless arises from the
value of their fleeces, for they are ever
in demand. A fleece usually aver
ages from to pounds. 1t is not
wool like our sheep but long, fine
hair. If clipped once year the hair
is - to IS inches, averaging about 16
| inches. and commands from 81 to So
per pound. If clipped twice a year it
is from to 10 inches and brings from
40 to 65 cents per pound. The long
hair is used for making wigs and has
market all over the world.
SIN winter they will eat any and
eyerything-dead leaves, moss, briars,
whilst their feed at their shelters is
/ fodder, straw and oats. And so easily
are thew managed. fed, etc, that one
man can feed and manage flock of a
thousand. When it is considered
that this industry is in its infancy the
price asked for these sheep is not
high, for as they increase and the
farming industry learn of their value
they will command a much larger
price. l am told the ewes this fall,
and even of the imported, but one is
as valuable as the other, can be

Strenuous Attempt Being Made to Save
the Life of an Aged Murderer.
Another attempt is being made to
save the life of j. Wesley Beatty, an
old man who is confined in the State
penitentiary at Moundsville, w. Va,
under sentence of death. The board
of pardons, when it meets at Mounds
vile the first Tuesday in October, will
be asked for the second time to COM
mute the sentence to life imprison-
ment. Beatty was convicted of caus-
ing the death of his brother-in-law,
David A. Nine, in November, 1900,
near Terra Alta. Nine had Beatty's
17-year-old son arrested for stealing
cider and was shot for refusing to
apologize.
Mrs. Beatty exhibited intense hat
red against her husband and express
ed pleasure when he was convicted.
The son served year in prison with
his father for stealing the cider, and
when released was refused admission
to the home. The petition for COM
mutation has over 1000 signatures of
the most influential citizens of Pres
ton county. 1t is not thought Beatty
can live more than few months.

IN THREE STATES
Bankers are Now Holding Their An
nual Reunions.


OnarlestOu, W. VA -hcs
of the most interesting features of the
annual convention of the West Vir-
cinia Bankers Association, which be-
gan here today, is the consideration
of a new plan of bank taxation. The
plan provides that in lieu Of all other
faxes BY either state or local authority
the bsnxs be taxed at the rate Of per
cent per snnum on the sum OF their
capital, surplus and undivided profits,
after deducting the book value Of real
estate owned. The plan further pro-
vides that the real estate owned by
the bank should be assessed as all
other real estate is assessed, and that
the tax on the personality be collected
BY the state, and afterwards distribut-
cd among the state, county and mu-
nieipsl authorities in proportion TO
the several rates Of state and local
taxation.
The convention opened in Germsnia
Hall this morning and the VISITORS
were welcomed by representatives OF
the city and the local banks and bust
ness men. Routine proceedings occu-
pied the day. Much interest centers
in the meeting this evening when the
association will listen to an address
on taxation, with reference to the
proposed new plan, by Frank NJ. East
man, Of Harrisburg, Pa.
