THE sHEEPMEN'S PROFITS.

Every Montana sheep ranch Is q
gold mine, according to a press dis
patch from Ogden In which an author.
ity named W. G. Barnes is credited
with q statement which explains why
every western wool grower should
wear diamonds and own an automo'
bile. Mr.. Barnes is described as
q special agent of the tariff board who
is checking up the information gather
ed by other employees who have been
investig ating the cost OF wool growing
in western states, and who was appar'
emily in q talkative mood when be
gave premature publicity to data that
should have been reserved for his
official report.
The exhibit credited to this tariff
board expert will make the average
Montana sheepman gasp with amaze
ment. He may have been in blissful
ignorance of the fin ancia possibilities
of bis occupation up to the present
time, but Mr.. Barnes demonstrates by
figures tn at are not supposed to lie
that every sheep In his outfit is capa.
BILE of yielding a net profit Of Sl.Sl per
wear. Mr.. Barnes undertakes to prove
his statement with this array OF alleg-
ed facts:
Cost per head to raise sheep, all ex.
penses incident to grazing, herding,
hearing, dipping, lambing, freight on
wool and mutton, interest on money
invested, ETC., $l.5O.
Average clip of wool per head, seven
pounds, at an average OF IL cents per
pound, delivered, 81 cents.
Average price of lambs, IS: aver age
increase, being figured at about 50 per
cent, placed on market, $40. Total
receipts, 1881.
If Mr.. Barnes is correctly quoted in
the above statement, his reputation as
an authority upon the cost OF wool
production is undeserved, and be
should be Immediately separated from
the tariff board pay roll. His exhibit
is so inaccurate and misleading that
it is worse than worthless.
1t is a we'll known fact that an aver
age outfit of stock sheep consists OF
animals of each sex in about equal
proportions, and OF various ages from
lambs up; and according TO practical
sheepmen the wether portion Of the
flock does not produce lambs. This
gives a severe jolt to Mr.. Barnes
estim ate of an annual increaee OF sc
-. oo-t - ~, c;,D ~ tho outfit
It also appears that the W mem
bers of the flock are not in breeding
condition until two years of age, a
fact that gives Mr.. Barnes 80 per
cent. increase another JOLT. There is
also an annual death loss in every
aock that affects the natural increase
over the original number.
Again, a price of SO per head fol
lambs is an exceptional figure in this
part of the northwest. Within thu
past twenty years there have beer
sales of lambs in this part of Montan'
at from Is cents to ST per head, AM
the average price during that periot
has probably not exceeded sl.75 pc
head.

the false theory that the water grows
denser as one goes deeper and that a
sinking object will find a place where
it will remain suspended This theory
is not correct. and a boat that will

Natures Scene Shiftina.

Although in the geological past vast
changes Of level occurred on the bor-
ders and even in the center of CONT
nents, it is debated question whether
at present similar elevations and sub
sidences can be detected. Recently the
frequently repeated statement that the
coasts Of Massachusetts and New Jer-
sey are perceptibly sinking has been
disputed, the apparent subsistence be-
ing ascribed to simple changes Of
shore line. But some curious records
kept in Europe seem to indicate that
actual fluctuations Of the level of the
land may occasionally be observed. In
the valley Of the Main a church tower
hidden behind mountain screen has
since 1861 gradually risen into plain
view from the chateau Of Strossen-
dorf, and still farther in the same di-
rection another church tower. which
began to be visible from Strossendorf
eighty years ago, is now clearly seen
above the horizon and is said to rise
higher as time goes on. Similar rec
ords exist in Bohemia, in Switzerland.
in Spain and in the French Jura.

TAFT SAYS TRUSTS
OPPOSE RECIPROCITY
In Speech at Chicago President
Says Principal Opposition is
Not From Farmers,

Chicago. - President Taft, in a
speech before the Western Economic
Society here Saturday night, de-
clared that the principal opposition TO
the Canadian reciprocity agreement
came, not from the farmer, but from
the lumber trust and from American
manufacturers of print paper
The presidents attack on the lum-
Der and print paper trusts for the op-
position to the ratification to the
treaty, was scathing.
The chief opposition, he declared,
comes from two classes of business
interests of the country, those who
own and control the lumber supply Of
the United States and those who are
engaged in the manufacture of print
paper and Of whom the largest manu-
facturers own much of the spruce
wood supply of the United States
from which print paper is made.
1T Is perfectly evident from the
statistics, that our general lumber
supply and our supply of spruce wood
for paper making, are being rapidly
exhausted, and that the effect of the
d1minutiOn of supply and the increase
Of demand, is to put too high price
on rough lumber and wood pulp"
The president discussed the effect
of reciprocity on the farmer, declaring
that the only grains exported from
Canada to the United States in any
quantity will be wheat, barley, rye
and oats. The price on these, he de-
clared, were fixed in the world mar
ket without regard to the tariff.
