ing is secondary to wool, in spite of the
high esteem In which Australian
mutton and lamb is held in other
countries. Until the drought Of 1914
this trade was on the increase In Victoria
and 1t is only now that 1t Is approach
ing the figures of other years. There
are less than twentyfreezing plants in
the state, but the 100000 sheep and
lambs, the quarter of a million cattle,
100000 hogs and several million rabbits
which they handle in a year keep most
of them busy.
The Importance of sheep in Victoria is
we'll illustrated by the fact that until
1915 the basis upon which land was
taxed was not determined by its IN
improved value, as now. but by the num-
Der Of sheep which 1t would carry to the
acre. The fellow who paid the highest
TAX was the farmer who was so fortunate
that his land was able to carry four
sheep to the acre. It is interesting in
this connection to note that every hun
bred acres Of land in pasture in the
state carries livestock equivalent to
ninty two sheep. Again the government
recognizes the sheep in it's official figures,
for in determining how much livestock
is carried on its pastures, horses and
cattle are reduced to their equivalent in
sheep. The government statistician
works it out on the basis that a horse

finest sheep are descended from a famous
flock Of Sussex. England. If so, the Vic
torian sheep of today surpass their an
cestors. for the fleece Of today weighs
an average Of seven or eight, and some
times fifteen, pounds in contrast to the
three or four pound feeces which graced
the backs of most of the sheep imported
fifty years ago.
Naturally the wool-clipping season is
strenuous one. The annual wool clip of
the state is over 1O0,OOOOOO pounds
valued at between $25OOO,OO0 and $780,
0000 900. Electric shearng machinery is
universally used and the sheep shearers
travel through the country In bands.
Like all classes of labor, the shearers
have a union and one or their most
stringent rules is that a shearer cannot
be compelled to shear wet sheep, but
must be paid for the time during which
the sheep are drying. The man who
raises sheep is grateful for the heavy
fleece Of the Victorian sheep when he is
selling his wool, but he damns it in
shearing time. for even in the driest of
countries and without a vestige of rain
a heavy fleece will pick up a surprising
amount Of moisture from the air. Some
Of the best Australian jokes are built
around the repartee exchange between
the owner Of a flock OF wet sheep anG
the shearer who refuses to tackle them.

drain a large watershed, but they are
at food level only in the winter when
the farmer does not need water badly
tor crops. SO the problem is simply one
of building reservoirs to catch the wa
ter and save it against the day Of need.
The valleys of those streams which
have been found suitable are damned
and the winter foods stored for spring
and summer use. Irrigation ia not
profitable unless there are enough people
using the water TO good advantage, so
the state purchased large blocks of
land which can be served by these reser-
voirs and divided them into small tracts
which have attracted many settlers Re-
turned soldiers also have been settled on
these tracts. The most important dams
are those across the Murray, the Loddon
and the Goulbourn Rivers. The Goul-
born is the largest stream in the state
and the overflow from the great weir
which has been built across It near its
source is caught by another dam, twenty
six miles down stream. From both
reservoirs mile upon mile Of channels
carry the water into the arid lands
Up in the northern part Of the state
are what are known as the malice lands,
millions OF acres covered with thick,
tough scrub with heavy pronged roots
which 1t is back breaking work to get
out. There are plenty OF ambitious set
tiers who will undertaken the clearing
Of the land in order that some day they
may become independent. But the NAL

river. This difficulty 1t Is proposed to
overcome by building a huge reservoir,
to hold the rainfall from running off,
from which channels will irrigate all of
the cleared land.
Clearing malice is done in a char
acteristic manner, mostly by tractors
which are used to haul across the scrub
great iron cyltnders-often a discarded
steam boiler-which beats down the
bushes and brushes the sap out Of them.
When 1t has dried fire is set to the scrub
and the land burned of. Then the heavy
roots are dug out and the land is ready
for cultivation after 1t has been treated
with phosphates. The roots are used for
fuel. Where the malice is found usually
is dry land, but the aborigines used to
find themselves at no trouble to obtain
water when they passed through the
scrub, for the malice sap furnished it to-
them.

they had irrigation experience, saw vast
possibilities in the waters of the Murray
In the most northwestern corner Of the
State, bounded on the north by the Muir
ray, they saw thousands Of acres Of
land which they believed could be made
productive if it only had some of the
water which was running down TO the
sea in the river. So they obtained from
the government a grant Of 10000 acres
and bought 100000 more acres on gen
erous terms. The government also gave
them the concession Of enough water
from the Murray TO irrigate their 25O,-
geo acres and to fill the needs Of all
who might settle there. That was in 1887
The Chaffeys installed pump engines at
many places on he banks of the Murray,
dug hundreds of miles Of channels for
the distribution of the water which they
pumped up and turned the land into
highly product q country. Settlers came
in quite readily then and the Chafeys
sold them the land and water equivalent
10 fifteen inches of rainfall a year ~
the very reasonable price of 50 an acre
RUt their fOrethOught did not end there.
They knew that some years the Murray
would not run full, that the dreaded
Australian droughts might come upon
them, and that they must provide some
means Of meeting those conditions Ihs
planting Of grape vines and fruit trees
was their solution and they were right,
for in the dry years the raisins and
other fruits which they had to sell on

HfN xE5lhO LOOh DaCk upon Cne past
AIEM2SIH year, and see how little we
\ 444e have striven, and to what
NSNIMSH small purpose, and how
HNANn often we have been cow
ardly and hung back, or
temerarious and rushed unwisely in !;
and how every day and all day long
we have transgressed the law of kind
ness; it may seem paradox, but in
the bitterness of these discoveries a
certain consolation resides.
Life is not designed to minister to
a mans vanity. He goes upon his

a hanging head, and all the time like
a child. Full Of rewards and pleas
ure as 1t is-s0 that to see the day
break or the moon rise, or to meet
a friend, or to hear dinner call when
he is hungry, fill him with surprising
joys-this world is yet for him no
abiding city. Friendships fall through,
health fails, WEAKNESS assails him;
year after year he must thumb the
hardly varying record of his own
weakness and folly.
1t is a friendly process Of detach-
ment. When the time comes that he
should go, there need be few illusions
left about himself. Here lies one who
meant well, tried little, failed much ;
surely that may be his epitaph, of
which he need not be ashamed. Nor
will he complain at the summons,
which calls defeated soldier from the
field; defeated, ay, if he were Paul or
Marcus Aurelius but if there Is still
one inch Of fight in his old spirit, un-
