CITY Council.

At the tadjourned meeting of the
council M onday night the Important
question of an additional supply of
water for the city was discussed. The
reliance on artesian wells for the
permanent supply for the town seems
to be the most practical way to fur
nish water and the matter of drilling
anotller we'll was discussed. The To-
cation in the 4th ward near the old
well that served such good purpose
for a. number Of years was favored as
being place where little fear of a
failure to reach water could be ex-
pected.
The council will receive bids for.
the relaying Of the water main on
5th avenue :or a distance of 6 blocks
form 9th street to Pacific avenue, ac-
cording to plans and Specifications on
file In the city auditors office, bids
to be opened Oct.1 and work to COM
pleted in 45 days from acceptance of
contract.
The council received report of an
examination made Of the city pump
ing machinery at the electric light
plant and the report was to the effect
that the pumps were In poor shape
and needed a great deal Of work to
properly repair them, which was or
dered done at the city's expense.

money expended at close Of the fiscal
year, Sept. l., was presented and is

Of Essex rape sown in June and an acre
OF turnips sown in July makes plenty
Of fall pasture. We begin to use the
rape about September 10Th, and the
turnips later These will last until
January 1st, if it doesn't get too wet
Care must be used in feeding turnips
if the sheep are not used to them.
Winter rye is also good. After any
crop is harvested I turn in the sheep,
for they will pick up the scattered
grain and also clean up the weeds in
the waste places.
We have the lambs come during
February, and if the weather is bad
I visit the barn every few hours, and
have only lost about IL per cent. [
shear early in May and dip June 10th.
I wean the lambs July 1st, shutting the
ewes up with dry feed for month and
milking them once in 4S hours. We
sell our wool to local dealers, the price
varying from 10 cents to 20 cents per
pound We select the best lambs to
keep and turn those for sale on rape
about August 10Th, selling them to
butchers in a few weeks. We keep
Shropshires, believing them to be best
for both wool and mutton.
My fathers health having failed we
reduced the flock to 80 and I have had
the entire care of them for the past
five years, besides being housewife.
Women who desire to earn pin money
could easily clear $50 a year by keep
ing sheep.
Hoping that the articles which we
have grouped together may induce
some of you to keep at least few
sheep, we copy for the benefit of be-
ginners an article from Wa11aceS

Suggestions to Beginners With
Sheep.-We are glad that SO many of
our readers are taking Our advice and
engaging in the business OF growing
mutton and WOOL We would like to
offer some suggestions to these new
beginners:
Do not get too many sheep at first.
A small flock will do better than a
large one The flock of twenty-five
will yield better returns per head than
one hundred, and one hundred better
than three hundred There are a
great many things about handling
sheep that cannot be put on paper, nor
learned through instruction, nor in
any way other than experience. There

course, the work would be much easier
in our mi1der climate
A Woman's Success with Sheep-I
began the sheep business in 1897 with
four ewes. That year | gave away
the wool for the shearing. Then |
began buying everything offered for
sale, consequently by 1900 had sheep
OF all qualities and with many diseases.
| discovered that quality was more i'm
portant than quantity SO [ began Gull
ing out the poor ones and improved the
flock My records to 1902 show 70
sheep on hand, 4S died, 81 sold, receiv-
ed 5000 for wool and sheep, paid
$16S for sheep, leaving a profit Of S141.
Since 1902, owing to my experience
and Improvement Of my flock, returns
have been much greater. My books
show that from 1902 to 1906 I bought
two sheep, had an increase Of 165, 60
died, and 40 have been sold. [ sold
$2O4 worth of wool, income $500 from
both sheep and WOOL My profits have
averaged $25 per head per year for
the term Of years, and for 1905 my av-
erage profits were $3.50 per head
How the Sheep Are Kept have
sheep barn 4ox5o feet with an open
ing so that the sheep may go in and
out at will Through the center are
hay racks with feed trough at the
bottom. We have three pens in the
barn, keeping the flock in one, the ewes
with young lambs in the next, and
ewes with older lambs in the third We
use 4-foot pencils to make small pens
when the ewes fail to own their lambs.
A lamb creep in the third pen is used
to teach the lambs to eat bran or chop
and clover hay. We store oat hay,
mi1let and other hay in the barn over
the stable, feeding six or seven tons
during the winter.
We begin feeding about September
1st or earlier if it is wet for grazing.
We usually turn upon the grass about
March 10Th. We feed no grain except
to the lambs. One fault with my barn
is that the NOW is not tight, letting
the dirt and trash fall through and
soil the wool
Dead Dogs Make Good Fertilizer
When the sheep are on grass we salt
twice week and use about % pounds
Of sulphur per year mixed with the
salt once a month We frequently
shoot a dog and are enriching piece
Of ground with dead dogs. They have
killed but one sheep for us.
Rape and Turnips Pay.-One acre

ing.
From these 63 ewes we had Al
pairs Of twins and IA singles. Be-
sides these a goodly number Of the
yearlings had one lamb each, making
our total lamb crop 1872 head. Out
Of this number we lost from various
causes such as accidents, dead born,
etc, Il head, leaving on hand lis
head Of very fine lambs, all doing we'll,
which we expect to Wean about the
last Of July.
These 100 head Of sheep sheared
this season an average Of 81 pounds
OF WOOL which sold in ST.. Louis for
p IL cents Ca part Of it being slightly
burry).
Last year our wool sold for - cents,
and the year before it brought the
very top in the St. Louis market.
We have 80 acres of alfalfa on Our
farm which yields from three to four
good crops each season except in case
Of extreme drouth. Consequently we
usually have an abundance Of good al
falfa hay and find from practical ex-
perience that good alfalfa hay makes a
full ration for sheep. We find also that
sheep that are in their prime (say from
2 to. 6 years old) can with good
management, be fattened for market on
good alfalfa hay without grain.
Those, however, under one year old
would be benefited by small allow
ance of grain with the hay. The same
would apply to older sheep that have
passed their prime.
Last fall we separated our wether
lambs, numbering 81 and 5 yearling
Wethers, from the flock and fed them
what alfalfa hay they would eat and
one bushel Of corn morning and even
ing for ten weeks. Then shipped them
to Kansas City, where they topped the
market at $3.50 per 100; averaging in
weight 81 pounds
We expect to handle this years crop
Of wether lambs about the same way.
| In writing an article Of this kind we too
often portray the good side and leave
the bad unmentioned But [ am going
to give your readers the bad as we'll
as the good side of my experience with
sheep and will say to begin with that
the only difficulty I ever experienced in
raising sheep was in combating the
stomach worm in lambs. We had Our
first experience along this line last
summer, and are willing to admit that
it was our own fault, as will be seen
from the following statement.
When we weaned Our lambs we put
them in a pasture some distance from
the water tank and yard where they
had to come to drink and be shut up
nights. In order to get to the tank
they had to pass close by a pool Of
stagnant water formerly hog wallow
During the hot weather in August
when the lambs came in from the
pasture very thirsty they got in the
habit Of stopping at this wallow to
drink We knew it was bad for them,
but being very busy at the time we

by our Lyndon (Vt.) correspondent
elsewhere 1t will, as he suggests, be
singular if, with majority Of farmers
in the Vermont legislature, the state
dog laws are not revived at the present
legislative session so as to protect the
sheep industry. The farmer has rights
as we'll as the sportsman, and there is
no reason why one as we'll as the other
should not fortify his privileges by
means Of state statutes. Let the farm
ers of New England insist firmly on
such legal protection for their property
as is given the property Of others, being
careful to use their ballot power in the
way of justice only and never to de-
fraud or to defeat the just purposes Of
Others
More Sheep Killing in Vermont
After a quiet lasting several weeks
dogs have again attacked the focks OF
sheep in the eastern part Of Lyndon,
killing over 80 head The scenes of
depreciation were over two miles apart
and four farmers were affected, Horace
Jones losing nearly 20 head The out
break occurred Thursday night, Oct
%, and the same night over 80 head
were killed in the western part of Lyn-
don.
Means taken to find the dogs result
ed in the capture Of two that were COW
cred with blood in such a way that it
was proved that they had had part,
at least, in the killing.
The worst part Of the whole case
came when it was learned that neither
Of the dogs was licensed and should
have been disposed of long ago. There
is every reason to believe that these
same dogs took part in the s1aughters
that have occurred previous to this.
Nearly all the sheep killed were OF
more than ordinary value and the cost
will be heavy. Among other things
le- us have the dog laws revived while
the legislature is in session. AS the
majority of the legislators are farmers,
there is every reason to believe that
an act to protect the sheep industry
would find favor if once introduced.
A contributor, to the Shepherds
Criterion, gives an interesting report
Of the sheep business, in Kansas, as
follows:
Sheep in Kansas was much disap-
pointed when I came to Kansas twenty
seven years ago. to find so very few
sheep After I had been farming
number Of years and got pasture
fenced for our horses and cattle and
beheld the vast growth Of sunhowers
both in the field and pasture and real
lied what nuisance they were, my
mind went back to sheep, and [ longed
for flock to run with the horses and
cattle to clean up the sunhowers and
other weeds that the other stock re-
fused to eat After making consider
able inquiry and search through our
county I succeeded in getting hold
of twelve head, seven old ewes and
five yearlings. Shortly after this I
ordered a registered Shropshire ram
