HIAWATHA AND HIS SHEPHEhD'

awatha and his youthful shepherd.
Persian sheep For Montana.
1t is supposed that every kind Of live
stock known in the civilized world had
passed through the Portland stock
yards, and the employees were not
little surprised when there was I'M
loaded recently from Southern Pa
cific car lot of curious animals, com
posed principally of TAIL An authority
coming along pronounced them to be
the famous fat tail sheep of Persia,
such as are sometimes exhibited In cir
Gus menageries. There are eight sheep
in the band, and they are tough look
ing creatures, short Of wool and not a
handsome feature Most of them have
Roman noses of pronounced type and
an evil expression on their faces. The
largest of the band have hoofs curved
up in front and five or six inches long.
The most striking thing about the
beasts, of course. is the tail, which
weighs about ten pounds. In the wilds
OF Persia, where the animals are COM
mon, this part is considered the best
eating, and the American would hardly
care for it, as it is filled principally
with tallow When the sheep is in
good. fat condition the tail grows to
immense size, and as it impedes the
movements of the animal the natives
usually harness small cart or wheel
barrow to it, on which the tail is car
ried. This is according to o. M. Plum
mer. the manager of the stock yards.
The sheep In his possession have not
yet reached that stage Of fairness. The
band was brought here from southern
California and is to be shipped to Mon
tana. Portland Oregonian.
Pen Fed Lambs.
A new industry has grown to eonsid-
cradle proportions in some parts of the
semiarid west i'm producing the finest
lambs by feeding peas. The vines are
cured on the ground. as no rain falls
to injure them. Ripened vines together
with the peas make balanced ration
that apparently just suits the growing
appetite of lambs.
It is profitable because the lambs dc
the harvesting and no yarding is nee
essary except to corral them at night
One great advantage is the firm, hard
finely Favored flesh that this feeding
produces, the tallow being fine ivory
white. It's said to be the incest, clean
