RAISING SHEEP
ON WASTE LAND.
Many Sections Offer 0pportu-
nifty to the Right Man.

In many sections OF the United
states there is land that is practicalIv
worthless unless utilized for pasture.
Even then it Will be found most prof
liable II devoted to sheep raising. as
such system would enable the owner
to build up the soil, writes w. II. I'm
derwood. Such lands under proper
management will become very yalu-
able to the man who Is I'm position to
take advantage OF such existing condi-
tons and raise and feed sheep.
Much OF this is cheap hill land and
Is admirably suited 10 sheep grazing.
In some localities 1t can be had in
large tracts at low prices, ms II has
been neglected and pays but little to
the owner under present conditions.
Thus large numbers OF sheep may DO
handled and given the best Of care at
minimum expense for labor, hous-
ing, etc.
This land is not only suitable for
grazing purposes. but feeding as well.
On nenrly nil this land there arc lin
tied areas. which, when well enriched
with sheep manure and clover, produce
eNceuent crops or clover ana corn.
AZ the soil becomes moro fertile the
amount OF pasture will greatly in
croase. More clover and corn can BIO
grown ON the cultivated areas. aud tho
riicapncss Of the land Will permit suf-
Bcient changes OF pasture TO keep tho
iiocks free from disease.
All these soils where not too dry and
grayelly will. n properly MANFRED.
grow good crops Of rape. cowpeas and
other forage which ht into sheep farm
ing.
In some sections there Is land where
sheep thrive exceedingly well and are
very little subjected to the more de
structiyc and common troubles. such
as stomach worms In many places
good springs are available and with
little attention a good water supply
can be easily obtained.

THE ANIMAL MIND.
A Story About a Cow and the Cali

A Story About Cow and the Cali
Sho Licked.
An absurd story Is cited about a
COW, showing what creatures OF habit
animals are. This particular COW
would not stand TO be MIXED unless
she could lick her calf ut tho Same
time. For long time she always had
calf OF some age or other TO lick,
but ut last by Ill fortune one OF her
calves died.
There Is no reason why n bereaved
mother should mourn her loss just q.
milking time. but there was the fixed
habit OF making certain motions. The
farmer. however. was practical
psychologist. He stuffed the skin of
the calf with hay and let the COW
have that TO lick. To be sure. the hay
calf had neither head nor legs. but c
COW has no general ideas concerning
the nature OF calves nor any special
reason for assuming that calves should
have heads and legs. 1t felt right. and

Mr.. Rublee into possession of one of

The park has the unique distinction
of being at the upper part of Laurel
canyon, and contains a mountain rim
that is a rim of Cahuenga valley.
Mr.. Rublee. being a man of large
means, has already commenced the in
auguration of new improvements on
the mountain rim. There will be a
pavilion built Immediately for the ac-
Commodation of the public, which will
be followed at an early date by a tour
list hotel on one Of the finest scenic
hotel sites in the world.
From the mountains is afforded a
fine view of Los Angeles, the ocean and
the islands of the sea. More than a

WILL WITHDRAW IMPERIAL
TROOPS FROM SOUTH AFRICA
Contamination of Union Will Result IN
New Scheme of Defense for
White Men

CAPE TOWN. March 19.-It is gener-
ally assumed that the consummation
of the Union win be followed by the
gradual withdrawal of a large portion
Of the Imperial troops now stationed
in South Africa. and there is good
deal of speculation as to the nature or
the scheme of defense which it will
be necessary for the new government
to devise. The general belief is that
some form of universal service VIII be
adopted. In a country where sparse
white population is scattered among a
vastly more numerous savage or semi
savage one, such plan certainly
seems desirable
It is anticipated that one of the first
duties Of the Union parliament will be
to provide that every white male snail
be trained to the use of arms At the
same time the sub-continent cannot af-
ford. and does not desire, to maintain n
standing army, with the possible eX-
ception Of a small force of artillery
This indicates the adoption of some
kind of militia or landwehr system.

In April 1869, they were almost
within sight of the enemy's lines. Be
fore them was Ogden, the goal of the
race, in the great valley between the
Rocky and the Sierra Nevada ranges.
In the fury of competition both COM
panies far overshot the mark. The
Union Pacific had its graders one hun
dred miles west of Ogden; the Central
Pacific had its advance line forty miles
beyond it's track layers Only the iron
actually put into position counted in
the race.
"On the last day. ten miles were
laid on April 2Sth they struck the
Union Pacific line forty miles west of
Ogden; and May 10th, they drove the
golden spike that cemented the two
roads. The Union Pacific had won
by ffty-three miles. Subsequently
the Central Pacific bought of the Union
Pacific at a high price the overlapping
