the limited States Az our readers know the
crowding Of the cattle out Of many section OF the
range by the sheep has been attended by mucn
bitterness and controversy. There are three prin-
cipal species of range sheep The old Mexico
sheep are the direct descendants of the original
Spanish Mernos. brought over two hundred years
ago by the Spaniards in Old Mexico. They have
long legs; long, thin body, and the wool 10 nne
and thin. They are hardy, excellent travellers and
will keep in good condition ON the poorest and
driest Of ranges Often they outsell all other
sheep, for the meat has an excellent flavor and
the hide Is thin, firm and soft These original
Mexican sheep have been largely graded with Me-
rino rams In New Mexico and southern Colorado.
The New Mexico sheep. as they are denominated.
are smallbodied sheep, and although they never
grow very large they get very fat. They bring
good prices, for the same reasons that obtain In
the case Of the Mexican sheep above mentioned.
Merinos also to be found on the range in great
numbers. many Of them having been bred from
Merinos brought from the east. The lambs are
shortlegged and not good travellers as the
southern sheep but they need not be. for Wyom-
ing. Idaho. etc.. have. on the average. better
ranges than are to be found in New Mexico and 1t
is in these northern states that the Merinos hold
sway
Almost all range sheep are affected with scab
though It Is frequently SO held In check as to be
scarcely noticeable. As a remedy 1t Is the general
practice to dip all range sheep and this opera
ton, as carried on extensively on large sheep
ranch Is decidedly picturesque. Oftentimes 1t 10
deemed necessary to give the same sheep several
clippings at intervals Of ten days. and occasional
ly this dipping is done in zero weather. On the
large ranches there specially constructed dip
ping watts with runways for the sheep they ap-
proach and leave the watts, etc. Various ingredi-
ents are used In the preparation of the dips,
among the most popular being lime. sulphur and
tobacco.
AS is well known. the American market has be-
come the most discriminating in the world on
beef products and is rapidly coming to demand
corresponding superiority in mutton. Conse-
Quently farmers and ranchers lealize the neces-
sity OF selecting the best sheep. The value of i'm
proved blood in sheep has come to be realized

pIete Work of Removing
BattIeship Wreck.

AS much Of the wrecked battleship
Maine as the available funds will permit
will be removed or prepared for removal
from Havana harbor, it was made known
today, and then the mammoth cofferdam
surrounding the ruins will be refilled with
water to await an additional appropria-
ton by Congress to finish the raising OPP
erations. Congress failed to act upon the
Presidents request for an additional
$780, and the War Department has
mapped out it's plans for the expenditure
OF the money on hand, which probably
will be exhausted by the time Congress
conyenes in December.
Because Of the lack of funds even fu-
neral services over the recovered remains
of the dead and the erection in Arlington
national cemetery Of the mast of the ill
fated vessel as q monument to them must
be postponed The remains and the mast
will be sent to the cemetery TO be stored
there until Congress acts.
The terribly wrecked forward part of
the vessel or about two-thirds of 1t, will
he cut down to the levels already reached
by pumpage, then taken out and dumped
into deeu water outside Havana harbor.
A small cofferdam will be built inside the
main cofferdam to q depth OF about forty
feet around the forward part. in order to
extricate the rest Of it later. The one
third after portion of the vessel, 1T is be-
ieyed. can be fioated. 1t will be pumped
out and bulkheaded, but not moved pend

Steam Vessels Used Now.

The modern whaler is a steamer with
white oak reinforced with steel and
sheathed with two-inch hickory planks
to protect her hull from the ice. Her
stern is protected by metal plates, and
to prevent her from being crushed she
has three sets of pointers forward and
two aft. She has large cabin aft and
quarters in the fOrecastle which are heat
ed by steam, which make her officers and
crew much more comfortable than the
formerly used in the trade. All the
heavy work Is done by steam. even the
trying out of the blubber. There are
usually two tripods and sometimes
three, on the main deck. each capable OF
holding from 200 to 300 gallons of Oil.
and down in the hold are large tanks OF
iron. from which theh oil is conducted
through pipes from the tripods" pass
ing through coolers" on the way. Ev-
erything is very different from what it
time compared with their forefathers.
Nearly every whaler inherited his taste
and talent for the trade.
The selection OF the crew IL the most
important consideration In whaling. The
captain must be a man of skill, courage
and judgment, and his mates and sea-
men must have similar qualities, because
upon them the success Of the voyage de-
penuS- Inc usual crew IS from twenty
four to thirty men, according to the size
of the ship, and includes blacksmith,
a cooper, a carpenter. sailmaker, q
rigger, a calker and painter, whose du-
ties may be imagined. AS the voyage will
last from two to three years and all
kinds of accidents occur from time to
time, it is necessary to provide men who
can make repairs. The supplies consist
of 800 barrels of fresh water as a
reserve, although condensing appara-
tus Is attached to every modern ship;
fifty barrels of salt beef and pork. a
similar quantity of hams and bacon, fifty
or sixty barrels of hard bread, similar
amount of flour, one hundred gallons of
molasses. thousand pounds of coffee. a
thousand pounds of sugar, salt. rice,
beans, dried apples. butter, cheese, tea.
potatoes. onions, vinegar and various
other forms of food that will not be in
jured by time or weather. One deck Is
filled with slaves. iron hoops, rivets.
sheathing copper, canvas, twine. paint
and chambers stores, and SUFFICIENT
supply of tobacco is never forgotten. In
the olden days there was always sufficient
grog to last long voyage and it was
served out literally as part of the ra-
tions, but that is no longer allowed and
the crews have no liquor from one end OF
the voyage to the other except from the
medicine chest

Could Rebuild Ships.

All these supplies serve as ballast on
the outward voyage, and usually they
contain enough of everything to practi-
cally rebuild the ship.
Harpoons are shot from guns nowadays
instead of being thrown by hand. and the
reels are worked by steam Bombs filled
with high explosives are used instead Of
ordinary barbed iron, and other modern
improvements have reduced the chances
of the whale as well as the labor OF his
pursuers.
Capt Davis of New Bedford, author of
THE Nimrod of the Sea-" himself q vet
eran whaleman. in describing the physi-
ology of a right whale, says: The blubber
would carpet room twenty-five yards
long, nine yards wide and half yard in
thickness. Some Of the bones are as big
as saw log two feet in diameter and
twenty feet in length The throat is four
feet thick and is mainly blubber. The
lips and throat of a 20-barrel whale
will yield sixty barrels of oil and with
the supporting jaw bones will weigh as
much as twenty-five oxen. Attached to
the throat is an enormous tongue that
will equal ten oxen in weight and will
yield twenty-five barrels of oil. The tail
of such whale Is about twenty-five feet
broad and SIX feet thick. At the point OF
juncture with the body ii Is about four
teen inches, and the remainder OF the
body is packed with ropelike tendons

Stories Of the Sea.


ing stories of the experiences of whal-
ers who have gone out from this town.
and they increase in interest with the
passage OF time. Several New Bedford
ships have been destroyed by whales
after most exciting struggles. and the
following Is one of them, as told by Fred
w. Greene, jr.:
"One evening a young landlubber
strayed into the headquarters of the ex-
Whale Chasers' Association. The size TO
which his eyes dilated on hearing their
stories encouraged the cap.ns to unusual
efforts in the line Of narration. and they
blended fact, fiction and tobacco smoke
In style that had the visitor gasping
for breath. Finally. after the others had
done their best. or worst-it came Cap'n
Bill Hoovers turn. And this is the yarn
the cap'n spun, some OF II serious, some
of IL fun, but none OF his hearers cracked
a smile as he started of. in deep-sea
style:

had cruised for over a week. when the

nest that he'd seen whale a mile to the
west. The boats went OF like a streak of
