NOTES FROM THE SHEEP FOLD.

To attempt to fatt3n sheep affected
with lice or scab is to court loss and
possible disaster.

clear, pink Skin. differing in shades
according to thesco1or of the face. A

Breeders like to have sheep with.
plenty of meat on the under part OF

growth, it has been difficult to accu-
rately outline many of the soil boun-
dares between the nlucky soil and the
peat. I viii endeavor TO describe all
phases and gradatiOnS Of the soils.
Five Kinds of Land.
i have classed the soils in five dis
tinct types. twenty-five could have
been made, but no good would have
resulted from such a separation OF
the phases. [ have temporarily call
these Hyde Peat, Hyde Mueky Loan,
Hyde Black Loan, hyde Fine Sandy
Loan, and the fifth one not yet NAM
The Hyde peat, called savannah
or pocosin." is a black OF brown muck
for an inch or two, which passes ntO a
brown peat, and this extends for a
depth of from 3 to feet. Has been
burned over in places, thus producing
what is called an open savannah. 1t
is covered in water part of the time.
None Of it is cultivated. 1t occupies
large area, perhaps, the largest in the
district, and is found the furtheSt
from the Lake.
The Hyde muck loan is a black
mucky loan from 3 to Is feet deep,
with a few charcoal fragments which
indicate that it was at n time burn
ed over. The SubSOil is a brown muck.
Which differs from the peat in that it
is not usually over 3 or 4 feet deep
and is much more thoroughly. decom-
posed and seems to have a little more

The Hyde black loan consists of
black mellow loan to a depth Of So

in any part of it. It is sticky when
wet, and when real dry the color IS
somewhat of a dark gray or drab. 1t

the present conditions. It's area is
limited to a strip which nearly sur

Two of the four terms Of North

HAVE PLATED 150
ACRES
MLEAN ORCHARD TRACTS IN
DOUGLAS COUNTY, FIVE MILES
BELOW CHELAN FALLS, TO BE
PLACED ON THE MARKET.

L. Mclean, a former resident of
this city and we'll known all through
central Washington, is in the city to-
day. During the past month the
Prowell Engineering company has
plated $50 acres of what was for
mer1y known as the Mclean stock
ranch on the Douglas county side of
the Columbia river ana about five
miles below Chelan Falls. This land
has been plated into five and ten
acre tracts and it will be placed on
the market Immediately About 60
acres of the place is in young orchard
and has been watered from springs
on the hillside and which have been
piped onto the orchard tract. Mr.
Mclean has contracted with the
Prowell Engineering company for the
installation of a pumping plant. This
will be put in early next spring and
Mr.. Mclean guarantees an abundance
of water. This tract has been plat
ted in five and ten-acre parcels and
it will make homes for 25 to 80 fam
lilies.
Mr.. Mclean is one of the pioneers
of this valley and for years was in
business in this city. He purchased
the land and laid out Chelan Falls
and remained there until 1900. He
was one of the original promoters of
the high line ditch in this valley. He
is now president and general man
ager of the Spokane Canal company.
Mr. Mclean expects to return to Spo-
kane this evening
