At this time the sheep are looking a little rough from protracted feed ing on dry forage, but they are in the very best condition for rapid fatten ing and growth when the spring pas turage begins. Shearing has not yet begun in his neighborhood. Mr. Belts' system of profiting from the raising of sheep differs from that of most sheep raisers. He raises mutton mostly, in the shape of lambs tor fall marketing. The larger part of the increase of his herds is dis posed of under this system. For the purpose '■ he breeds thoroughbred Shropshire rams with grade Merino ewes. He considers his system ot fall marketing of the lambs as more profitable then keeping them through the winter or until they are full grown. H? regards the Shropshire Merino cross as the best possible for mutton He will import some S'.irop shire rams the coming spring and he is fully converted to the great value of crossing with outside stock. The animals which he shears are all grade Merinos. Mr. Belts notes that the summer ranges are over pastured, and the tendency naturally is to overdo it worse and worse. Apropos of this subject he approves of a system of permanent tcrest reserves by the general government which *ill re strict greatly the number ot «beep imstured on government lands.. This system would make much better pas turage for the sheep which had the advantage of the range«, besides pro tecting the timber. Mr. Belts is very positive there will be no friction whatever this spring and summer between cattlemen and sheepmen in this county. LARGEST FARM IN WASHINGTON. Land Patent in Pendleton Bearing the Signature of John Quincy Adams. A H. Todd, of this city, own« one of the most extraordinary relics tlia< has been exhibited in this vicinity. * It is a parent to 80 acres of land lying in township 51, range 35. of the western land district of Missouri, in what is now Clay county. The-instrument was issued to lohn Gum. an uncle of Mr. Todd, and 1» dated April 21. 1825. It Is signed by J. W. Graham, commissioner of the general land office, and countersigned by John Quincy Adams, president It is printed upon genuine 3heep skin and while the reading mattei >s all very clear and legible, the docu ment .shows considerable hard usage. Mr. Todd's father came in possession of the land described in the numbers about the beginning of the war. Fearing that his premises would be burned or pillaged during the war. he buried all of his valuable pais-rs. this among the rest, and it became somewhat damaged by exposure. It is printed in a small script type and the sheepskin is flexible and soft yet. The signature of Pr«>siden’ Adams was made with a quill pen and loo.ks as fresh as if it were written a year ago. Mr Todd came into possession of the document in 1866 and or'z.es it very highly. One Seventy-Five Horsepower En gine to Plow Prosser Real Estate. Ben Groat, who (arms on quite an extensive scale, five miles north of town is about to break the record for extensive farming in Washington, says the Prescott Spectator. He has lately purchased «lx sectiona of land near Prosser and is going to break half of it up this spring. He has just ordered through Fender Bros of this city, five 4-bottom 11-lnch New Deal gang plows for bis Prosser farm These plows will lie attached to a 75 horse power Holt engine, which will furnish the motive power to drag them over the extensive fields They will cut a strip 28 feet wide every round ami notwithstanding the thing looks a little dubious to the ordinary observer, it can be relied upon that Mr Groat is attempting notloug ini practicable, for he is one of those fel lows who thoroughly know their busi ness. Dale Donley has been appointed a deputy assessor for the Prescott dis trict by Assessor Berryman Mr. Donley received his appointment through a j-etitlon ot 107 Prescott citizens presented to the assessor praying for his appointment. Dale has been attending a business col lege at Spokane, hut will be down at once to take up bis official duties. E F HOWARD.

M Morrison, one of the wealthy farmers of the Adams country, was in the city yesterday. He has in 32« acres of wheat, all of which looks fire, as does all the wheat in that neighborhood. On account of the tin favorable fall the acreage of winter wheat is scant, compared with tlic usual yearly average, but the prospect for good prices for wheat next year is greatly encouraging the sowing of both winter and spring wheat and it is likely the average will yet be reached this season. Mr. Morrison regrets that the fruit trees in that neighborhood are generally afflicted with scale and aphis. A peculiarry of that neighborhood in regard to fruit raising, is that peaches, cherries and apricots are a failure compared with plums, prunes and pears, and the reasons therefor ar«* not under stood. Another peculiarity of the neighborhood In which he resides is that only eailjr apples do well. I .it“ apples do not mature. Real Estate Transfers. C. B. Wade as trustee, lias sold to Jessie 8.
