Market Letter.

Union Stock Yards, Chicago, May
16, 190S.-The supplies of sheep and
lambs show a small increase this
week and the market q decline of 25
to soc on sheep. This is caused prin-
cipally by Texas cutting loose and
the river markets are full of Texas
sheep each day. They are selling
at extra good prices, generally from
6.26 to $3.50. You must not over
look the fact, tho. that these sheep
are better than ever before and are
killing out full az we'll as fed sheep
In fact, the packers prefer them to
fed wethers at about the same prices
There has been no Texas sheep on
this market this week but believe
they would sell around $3.50. We
are inclined to look for a lower mar
ket the next two weeks, but after thai
think 1t good spot for some grass
sheep, and advise marketing anything
that is fat during the next month
Prices will be much better then thar
later on. but would caution 70,
against shipping anything except IA
stun. as the feeder demand will no
be much good until later In the sea
son. or until the crops are assured.
Trusting We will be able to hea
from you by return mali. and IL Their
is anything we can do for you, do no
hesitate to call ON us. we are,

A BIG GOAT RANCH.
Located in Edwards County, Texas,
Consisting of 10000 Acres and
1000 Goats.


T. B. Overstreet of Edwards coun-
ty was a visitor on this market re-
Gently says the Fort Worth Live
Stock Report. He is feeding $500
sheep within mile and half of the
yards. He runs a little 90,000-acre
sheep and goat ranch in Edwards
county on which he carries 5000
sheep and 1900 goats. This is the
number of old head, not including
the lambs and kids, which he han
dies in corrals of 20 acres each. 1t
will be interesting to briefly state
how the kids are handled.
They are born on the range, where
they are herded, the goats in flocks
of 1000, each flock having one herd
er, the sheep in flocks of 1900, each
! by one herder. AS the kids are born,
the herder with his helper brings
them and their mothers to the cor
| raj. The corral is made in a locality
where cedar or other trees provide
shade. The kids are tied with an
eighteen-inch string to stake driven
in the ground, leaving the mother
with it the first day, from the second
day on the mother is turned out each
morning and driven away with the
fiocks, being brought back at night
and turned into the corral. The help
er takes care of the kid, changing
the stake rope from one foot to the
other, to prevent the kid becoming
lame or sore. The kid is thus stalk
ed and kept in captivity twelve tc
fourteen days if single; if twins
twenty days. The mother quickly
distinguishes the cry of her own of
spring, in the first two or three days
At the end of two weeks the kid:
are freed from their stakes, but are
kept in corral for one month, at the
end of which time the helper about
mid afternoon of each day turns then
out to Craze, drifting them in the di
rection fom which their mothers
will come In at night. thereby caus
ing the meeting of mother and kiC
in the open, and proper getting to
gether of each. This Is kept up
few days, when the kids are allow
ed to run day and night with tn
flock.
, Mr.. Overstreet stated that he ha
. been in the sheep business thirty-fiv
; years and in the goat business te
!, years and regards the goat industr
: the more satisfactory and lucrativ
l of the two. He dwells particular
on the sagacity, hardness and thrift

Another advantage, he states the

would starve. 1t is healthy and prac-

Farm Helm Less EXPENSE g.

Farm labor is cheaper than it was at
this time last year and is pretty sure
to continue SO for the season. There
has been some curtailment in manufac-
turing throughout the country, the re-
suit being that a great many men are
out of work. With this condition farm
ers fiad that they can get help more
readily now than they have been able
TO for several years.
1t is ascertained that where contracts
have been made in the Middle West and
Southwest for farm hands the rate of
wages averages about s. per month low
er than that prevailing a year ago.
A common rate of pay for farm hands
at this time is $50 per month, as against
$50 last season. Competent mea with
experience in special departments Of
farming will command more, but not as
much MS in 1906 and 1907. Good live
stock hands receive SO to SO, but
above this there are few men hired even
for fancy farming or the specialties who
are receiving more.
Youths ana inexperienced Immigrants
are Offering their services for from SIS
to $50 per month.
