SHEEP As A By.PROOUCT
ON ALFALFA RANCHES

J. C.. LOOMS in Pacific Rural Press.
When a new oWEe1 moves onIo irri-
gated land he plt tcecds to put the place
under more intensive cultivation, such
as fruit growing in its different
branches. or else seeds it to alfalfa
ard starts either a dairy Or hay ranch
or sells the hay. Everybody knows
that this is fine thing for the Stale as
a whole, for a much larger number cf
persons obtain their living from the
land ii stimulates business IN lie cit
les, and in many ways is a benefit.
This practice VIII continue, as It
ST. ould, but as none of the large hold
ings are sub divided it may be well to
Introduce some different methods t,an
those now pursued in our alfalfa dis
tricts if farmers a"e to SC. the mos
from their investment.
At present o"r alfalfa growers fin
it more profitable generally to make
the ranch pay through the cream
check. with hogs az a by-pro l'Ic... aBd
ii is generally accepted that by this
method not Onyy the maximum profits
may be realized from the product -o!':.
but also that though the fertiiizrg
ATTAINED by the cow the land itsel may
he huilt up !rs.ead of torn d,0n.
Thaf anothar form GniJnr,,
kept at present Will eventually come
INTO its own seems probable AMI that
is the sheep.
Our reasons for this belief are taken
from what we learned on a trip
through Tehama county this summer.
That county has for years been con-
Sidered the stronghold of the sheep i'll
dustry in this state. but the continual
rise in land values has made it impos
sible to carry on the business as n
former years.
To illustrate. the practice among
sheep growers has been to own a large
tract of valley land which would sup
port about Y head of sheep to the
acre during late years. If a man had
$4,000 sheep then he needed 10000
acres of land.
This is called the winter quarters as
the stock is taken into the mountains
during the summer months a. soon a
snow and bad weather permit. and in
turn brought back a. soon aS bad
Weather starts in the fall. Although
these winter feeding ranches do not
produce much feed in their present
uncultivated state. they will by ordin
airy small farm cultivation produce
good fruit or other crops and a. con-
sequence the sheep man finds his lani
valued at from $40 upwards where
formally it was only worth 81 or 81
for grazing.

land with sheep is impossible under the
old sheep growing system so the best
thing for him to do financially is to
sell out. That is exactly what is being
done around Red Bluff with the result
that the county will be short $4,000
head of sheep by next fall of their
last years total.
We were told by several of the lar
ger growers that it was only matter
of short time until the present meth
DDS of sheep growing would be wiped
out and that our mutton supply as
we'll as wool would have to come from
the small farmer in the near future.
Conditions have been snch in the
east that the mutton and wool grown
there comes mostly from the average
sized ranch and as the same situation
will no doubt soon be confronted in
this state it may be we'll for farmers
to take a little more interest along
sheep lines.
Most everyone who has had expert
~nce with sheep agree that they will
come nearer to living on the waste
sopts of ranch than any other animal
and while they do not require as much
attention i'll our mild climate as they
do in the east. to make a success of
tl'em requires some knowledge of their
habits the same as for other stock. |;
may be interesting along this line OF
knowing how one man has made a by
product of sheep on an alfalfa ranch.
!. \. Morris of Tehama is the one we
speak Of. and by keeping sheep a few
months of the year he usually makes
about $3.50 head.
His system is to buy about 400 head

other than the pasture. but when the
spring pasture is poor they are fed the

We We're told that although in Tie
Fast sheep had only been used for a
few months it was the intention later
to keep a herd the year around, but in
that event Shropshires instead of Mer-
iros will be used as they are a much
better mutton sheep.
From this mans experience of nine
years with sheep on an alfalfa ranch
il would appear that many Of our
ranches in this state could be made
to produce larger returns with the ad-
dition of sheep as by-prOduct.

K. O. BROWN VS.. DAN RIDGE

Matte Mcdonald, the clever vet
eran pugilist of the National Turn
Verein, will meet Tommy Allen,
local scientific boxer, in the main
event of four rounds at the Central
Institute, in South Broad street, to-
night. Both lads are high-class pugi-
lists of this vicinity. Rivalry is in
tense between them, so an interesting
mill is expected.
The bout between Young Salzmann
and Billy Collins should furnish ex-
element. Both carry q terrific punch
and know how to use it. Two colored
boxers will mix it in the third best
go of the bill. Charley Peaker and
Young Hicks will be the principals.
and there ought to be some fun in
store when they clash. Terry Adams
and Bull stephens both claim they
will dispose of one another in short
order, so this fact alone ought to
make a corking good bout. Willie
Haven and Marty Vaudeville. pair
of dusky youths, will have 1t out in
one of the preliminaries. Two other
bouts are billed to take place. Young
Hopkins will face Buck Ernest and
Young Schneider and Kid Karl will
come together.

Mike Gibbons, Of st. Paul, and

matched last night to box ten rounds
in kenoslla, Wis, on October 10. The
match, according to the promoters,
will be for the welterweight cham
pionship. The men agreed to weigh
145 pounds at 3 o'clock on the day of
the fight.
Terry Adams, the local boxer,
would like to meet Eddie Jackson or
Jim Miller, of Bayonne, at the Cen
trail Institute or any Manhattan club.
Young Mack, of this city, stopped
Kid Hickman in the sixth round at
the Liberal A. c., Staten Island, Sat
