The sheepmen and Organization.

The western range cattlemen have
succeeded in perfecting general work
ing organization at Denver known as
the Cattle Growers Interstate Execu-
tive Committee. This committee is
composed of three representatives of
the organized cattlemen of each state
and there are indications that the Corn
Belt Meat Producers Association,
which is becoming a very strong or
ganization in Iowa and Missouri, will
cooperate with the committee in its
efforts to secure some practical re-
suits in the railroad transportation
problems in the way of better service
and lower rates. This is a subject in
which the sheepmen are equally inter
ested with the cattlemen and they
should be stirring themselves to
strengthen their organization and get
in line for cooperation. Complaint has
been made that the sheepmen have
been weakening their efforts by scat
tering their efforts. They are trying,
in some sections to give financial sup
port to both the National Live Stock
Association and the National Wool
Growers Association. The American

cept cottonseed oil meal-with four
times the quantity of corn meal and
bran in equal parts added; and good
grass pasture Feed the ram as WELL
and let him run with the ewes, mark
ing him on the brisket, SO as to de-
tect the ewes he may have mated with;
and as they are mated, remove them
to another pasture; increasing their
grain ration little; and keep a weth-
er in this pasture with them. A close
daily watch should be kept on these
ewes, and if it is perceived to be neces-
sary by the conduct of the wether,
they should be turned back to the
breeding flock again.
These notes are made from personal
experience with a flock of mixed ewes,
all, however, of very good quality, and
having Shropshire blood in them, and
pure Shropshire rams. The ewes
from this were, in very few years,
brought to mate in time to bring lambs
in time for the Easter market, and
there was a gradual fastening of the
breeding time, so that the lambs sold
by the pound gradually came to bring
SIS each instead of $40 at the start.
And there was no dollhouse business in
it, either, the only extra care given
was clean, warm, airy housing at
nights, as soon as the weather became
cold; and in the daytime a well shell
tered shed, when this was desirable.
Quite often the lambs would begin to
eat in the creeps provided, a little of
the mixed grain food kept in the shall
low flat troughs which were provided
for them. This was made of corn,
oats and bran, equally mixed, and
ground very finely, along with-at first
"a mere busting of cottonseed meal.
The ewes got pint a day of the same
feed.

More Grazing in Reserves.

When the sheep and cattle grazing
privileges on the forest reserves were
apportioned last winter among the va
rious stock men, d. B. Shelter, United
States forest superintendent for the
northwestern district, including Wash
ington, and a good part of Oregon, Ida
no and Montana, found that the de-
mands of the stockmen were increas-
ing and that there were many thous-
and head more demanding grazing
room than for which land could be
provided.
Mr.. Shelter has decided to make a
erly portions of the state on the Cas-
cade range, extending from the north
careful investigation of the Washing
ton reserve, which is the most north
erly limits of the Rainier reserve
north to the British Columbia line,
with the view of ascertaining how
many of the surplus cattle and sheep
could be pastured there. This exam
nation will be made as soon as the
superintendent disposes of routine
business now demanding attention,
and if the condition of the reserve
warrants, a considerable number OF
cattle and sheep will be apportioned
to this reserve next season.

WATER FOR CEMETERY.

The purchase of over thousand
feet of pipe of a suitable size for
extending the water main from the
north end of Main steet TO the Gem
etery, by Mayor Middleton few days
since, makes easy the conveying of
the water from the termination of the
water system to the city of the dead.
Mr.. Middleton will doubtless be
willing to dispose of the pipe at the
price which he paid for it, in order
to aid the matter and give opportuni-
ty TO properly adorn and beautify
that part of the city's property.
Some three or four weeks since a
subscription list was signed by a
considerable number of our citizens,
who subscribed sums of from one
to twenty dollars each for the purpose
of conveying the water thither, the
aggregate being as we we're told
between three and four hundred dol
lars. Now is the time, before the frost
makes the ground too hard to dig,
and while the pipe can be gotten at
about half price, to pay up this sub
scription and put in the extension.
The question is, to whom does it
belong to make the startY In our
opinion committee should be APP
pointed, either by mass meeting of
the citizens or by the city council, to
collect the amounts subscribed, pur-
chase the pipe and arrange for the
digging of the trench and laying of
the main. We may look for move
of some sort in this matter in short
time, as we know that the mayor has
the question much at heart and doub-
tless will, with characteristic energy,
take hold of the matter soon. We
know of several parties whose names
do not appear on the subscription
list already referred to who, when
the time comes for acti on, will not
be found lacking.
