Newspaper Page Text',.S&w: ifflT a i ?:- w$ t of l i't Australian vs. California Sheep Breeding and Wool Growing. We laloly had a call from Mr. L. Coates, fo-morly of Phlladolphla. but for the last flxtrnn yrari a roMdont of Australia, where liu with i-nveral usicc-Utes uro largely en gaged in the buslnes of sheep brrdliiK and wool fcrowlnfr. Mr. Coates and Ills associates having been sa'IsfHctnrlly succopsful in this business in Australia, have been thinking of extending tholr enterprise, and had been looking toward nllfarni f.ir a tifild for that purpose. The pilnclpal object of the visit at this time was to ealn lnfurumtlon iijxn which to base their action. In answer to Ma inquiries we gave all the Information we could of the business here, and in return learned something of tho manner of conduct ing the business in Australia. The climate, soil and merits of land here were all satis factory, but when we came to speak of the tendency of sheep to the disease known as tbo f-?ab and (lie means adopted to prevent nnd cure it, Mr. Coates was astonished tbat no more effective measures had been devis ed. "Why," said he, "we have no scab with us." We inquired if the shosp were i rrt subject to th's dNeae In that country, or I van tholr exempt Ion due to the caro exercised ( liv owners to prevent it. Wo gathered these fuels, which may be of interest to our read irs and which we think are very sugges tive of what ought to be done In California. As scon as it was settled that Australia was adapter to sh"ep raising and wool growing os an extensive business, those engaged In tliU occupation set themselves to work to lii UMin some rules and regulations by which they should be governed for tho prmection nnd encouiagoment of the industry. After agreeing among themselves what ought to b (loua they Hiked the Colonial LegMnturo to enactthese rulesaud regulations lutoUws. In tho first place, we will state that the coun try used as shoep pastures Is very much like tbe country principally used: for that pur poio in this State a rough, uneven country with a tbin soil, of but little value for culti vation or any other than for sheep. This land is mostly owned by the Government, nnd is leased Jor long terms of years to those who will pay a fair ront for the same. The (jnvei anient sells, however, to those who wNh to buy, but most of the sheep-growing districts are held under leases. The lessees folic their possessions and put such and other uesossary improvements upon them as they require. The breed of flheep almost universally adopted in that eountry is the French Merino. Ihey have, however, the Cotbwold, Lincoln and othe long-woolnd Hheop; but the general preference is the 'Froiic'li Merino. To prevent the scab and all other diseases tbat are contagious the Gov ernment have, at the request of those inter Uitfd, passed certain sanitary laws and lev ied au annual tax of so much a head on all lb a sheep in tho country to defray theexiMn ;w of the enforcement of these laws. Oer lalu officers, called sheep inspeetors, are charged with the duty of executing the laws nnd seeing that every sheep owner perfoms bis duty to bis sheep and his neighbor un der them. Shearing is done but once a year, and Immediately after shearing every sheep 3s required by the law to be dipped ill a so lution of tobacco and sulphur, the propor tions li.ilug those found by experience most effective and whloh are prescribed and tlxed by statute, Tho sheep Inspectors see that all owners obey this law strictly, and if they rind that, through neglect, the sheep of any owuor become unclean and diseased, they may have them cared for and charge the ex pense to the owner. If, by habitual neglect, the shee 0 B"V parties become hopelessly iiiseased, the inspectors have the power to have them appraised aud killed, by paying the owners the appraised value out ol the fund raised as stated, by tax. In addition to the above, the law provides that if the sheep of ouo owner, being diseased, get among and 1Is.i-o these of another, the lormor Is liable for damages. Again, notices shall be ex changed between owners of tho exact time of sheiirlng, and all shall have tho opportu nity of looking among tho Hocks of their neighbors for uny stray sheop of tholr brand, ami shall be allowed to take any such tound nwuy without cjst. As might bu expected undsr the I till nonce, of such sanitary and po lice laws, shoep husbandry Is placed upon a mife, permanent aud pn lltable basis. The slieep throughout the country under such Wwa well admliisiered, are sure to become perfectly healthy, and io acqulro strong and vigorous constitution, nnd as a result to pro duce even and sound fleeces, and to cairy thete fleeces from one shearing to another without loss, lleio U a full explanation ot the reason why Australian wools aro so much mora valuable, aud bring so much more in the markets, than do our California wools. The climate U uo bettor than ours, nor Is the feed or country any better or more favorable for sheep than Is ours, but the sheep are liefer cared for aud kept iu a oleaner and hsaJthtor condition. Mr. Coates said, after Hading wo had no general system or plan for taring for the health of sheep that could be on forced against all owners, that he would hesitate to invest mwiey In sheep iu Califor nia, as he would have no protection. In ret erdnoe to the sheep losing their wool, If al lowed to carry the fleoce irom oue spring to the noxt, he said they had uo difficulty of that kind thete, and he did not think there would be here if the sheen were healthy; that diseased sheep would drop tholr wool In any country, and the only way to prevent It is to cure the sheep and keep them healthy. vi uava ire'jueuuy i-auau mo umiiikiii ui our sheep men to the Importance of organ-D-.lng a sheep-growers' association iu this .State, to consider these and other subjccs counoctod with the Industry here. It is cer tainly a matter of gieat interest not only to individual owners of sheep, but to the State & large, that this great evil should be eradi ca'ed, and the annual product of our docks boenhaucad Ntcmmeiitn Union, Durlntc tho month of Jstumry the liemsnd for postage stsmp, postal etnli autl stamped envelopes reanlitm the tiuiirrcdeuted b mount of l.MMOOO worth.

Von wanderod through the open door: Paussd at a little pail or spade Across a tiny hillock laid; Then noted on your dextnr side Some moneyed magna'e's "love or pride;" And so, boyond a hawthorn tree, Hhoworingits rain of rosy bloom Allko on low and lofry tomb, You come upon it suddenly. How strangn! The very grasses' growth Around It seemed forlorn and loath; Tho very Ivy seemed to turn Askance that wreathed the neiphbor.tim.

You read in letters sharp and clear, "Though lost to sight, to memory dear." Faiimkrs Should Conthoi. the Poetov op tiik Nation. Bv referring to tho national census of 1870, 1 find that almost six millions of the people are directly nngagpd In agricul tural labors, that is t3sar, aceaking exactly, of all the persons in tnn uniteil states report ed as having occupvions, 17.38 per centum, almost one-hair ortno whole, are agricultur ist; only 21,05 per centum are manufacturers and miuers; just 21,4T per centum rondnr professional and personal service" while oulviVIH per centum are engaged In trade and transportation. It Is very nearly accu rate to sav. tha. of all tho people of the Uni ted States who have anthing to do, one-tenth are traders and transporters: two-tenths are manufacturers and minors: another two- tenths render profesional and person 1 serviced) while live tenths are farmers. Too farmers are thus cousidrablv more than twice s numerous as any other clai-s. and almost as numerous as all the o.her classes put toeo'linr. As the f-imilies of farmers are probably more numerous on the average than the families of other classes, it is a"e to say that more than one-balf of tbo forty tni!'- uons m people woo to aav inusoit mis mnu, derive tilelr sustnanoe directly out of the cultivated soil. Under those clrcums anco's ono would expect that the faimrs would certainly influence greatly, if not romplftely control, the policy of these States and of this nation. A'. Ij. Perry.

A correspondent iu ous of our excliangos, claims Shut it is catisei? by the contact of the wool with the meat. This is a mistake which has caused much pre judice naalnst mutton is food.
