TO FARMERS
IN THE SPRING
RERDER'S LONELY LIFE
The Only Company He Has is a
Couple Of Faithful Dogs and
His Herd of 1000 Sheep.

All farms of eighty acres and up
ought to have a small flock of sheep.
When fenced for them there is little
expense in keeping them, as they eat
mostly what would be wasted by the
other flock They kill out the weeds
and bring in money for the wool at a
time when the farmer usually has lit
tie else to turn into money.
Nearly all the wool raised in the
United States east of the Missouri river
is medium wool This is because the
best mutton sheep Is of this class. The
Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana woods
bring the highest price; they are clean
er and consequently shrink less and
are mostly staple woods.
Woods from the above sections and
neighboring states are called bright
wools. Those from Western Minnesota,
Western Iowa, the Dakotas and Eastern
Nebraska and Kansas are called semi
bright.
The range wools are usually known
as western woods and are quoted gen
orally by the name of the state in
which they are raised, such as Monta-
ma, Oregon, Colorado and Utah woods.
They all have characteristics that dis
tinguish them, owing to the soil, eli
mate and the range conditions.
The range wools, according to Fun
News, are much better in breeding and
staple than dozen years ago. because
the sheep men have been steadily grad
ing up their fiocks with the best blood
that could be secured, regardless OF
price The result is that their woods
are bringing nearly, if not quite, as
much as the eastern or bright woods Of
the same grades.
Some of the wool raisers of Montana
and Wyoming own and control $4,000
to 100000 sheep. Frequently these big
flocls were divided up into half doz-
en- foocks in the hands of share men,
who care for the sheep for a share OF
the wool and lambs.
Except in lambing time the sheer
are divided into bands of about 1000
each band in care of a herder. During
the summer the mountains make the
best range, such as the Big Horn noun.
tains of Wyoming. In the winter
when there is some snow on the ground
lots of ranges can be used that at Other
times are useless on account of M
water.
The sheep herder's life is very lone
ly one He is provided with covered
wagon, which is hauled on the range
where he is left with his sheep, anC
perhaps dog or two, and provisions
for a couple of weeks. His duties con
sist of following and watching thC
band as they feed out from the bee
ground around the wagon in the morn
ing till noon, when they lie down, res
and chew their cuds. About O'CLOCK
he gets them up and starts them back
50 as to Craze back to the bed grounC
for the night. In about two weeks th'
camp mover comes around and moves
him three or four miles to another bee
ground.
When shearing time comes the band
are driven up to some favorable spot il

Judge AlliSOn'S Opinion in Brief.

Judge Allison in his opinion express
ed full sympathy with the direct legal
lied primary method of selecting party
nominees and party committees; how
ever, of the act under consideration, he
said:
"The act, as before pointed out,
makes an arbitrary and capricious clas-
sitication, as to public offices, in that
it requires candidates for some of the
public offices to be nominated in a pri-
mary and eXempts Others, and likewise
such classification as to the persons or
agencies to be entrusted with the man
agement of the affairs of the particular
party"
Judge Allison held that primary
eletions are selections within the
meaning of the constitution and SUBJ
ject to its protection and limitations.
The principal objections which he
noted to the compulsory primary act
were as follows;
That it applies additional qualifica.
tions, other than those prescribed by
the constitution.
That primaries under this law are
not "free and equal, candidates being
compelled to pay fee in advance fol-
the privilege of being voted for, this re.
ferring to section AZ, covering the ex.
penses of the primary.
That the classification of fees for pri.
mary expenses is unequal.
That the oath of election officers
seeking to prevent "any other persons
"in our view" from attempting to in
i tluonce the voter is too broad and in.
| definite.
That the oath prescribed for com
mitteeman in requiring him to report
acts of omission or commission in vio
lation of the primary law is 'inconsist
ent with the rights and privileges Of in
telligent freemen," and in prescribing
the oath the legislature exceeded its
authority.
That the law provides for only two
political parties, leaving all others tC
pursue any course they choose
That the section referring TO the Sc
lection of committeeman other thar
the county committees departed from
the compulsory system of the legalizeC
primary law, and in so doing contained
matter not embraced in the caption.
That the law is an arbitrary, capri
cious and unjust classification of polit
ical nomination, net only excepting
the supreme court, court of civil ap
peals, but forty-two judges, not includ
ing county judges, twenty-one attor
neeys-general and 576 county officers,
total of these latter of $50, while only
lat officers are nominated under thu
act.
The two state primary boards ar
vested with unrestricted powers owe
the voters, candidates and the politica
rights of the people, yet the voters ar
deprived of any direct vote whateve
in the selection of the boards, thes
boards not being chosen under the act
though the nomination of United State
senators, the secretary of state, treas
urer and comptroller, elected like tn
boards, are brought within the provi
sions of the act.

ical organizations in which the voter

Cures that last are cures that tell.
To thoroughly know the virtues of a
medicine you must investigate the
cures and see if they prove perma-

test. and plenty of proof exists right
here in Greeley. People who testi-
he'd years ago to relief from back
ache, kidney and urinary disorders,
now declare that relief was perma-

any Greeley sufferer longer doubt
the evidence?
