The followiug from the Fort Collins
Express shows something of the condi
tions affecting the lnmb feeding indus
try In Colorado: "It is beginning to he
quite n serious problem for the lnmb
feeders how to provide grain for the
feeding. Corn Is selling at $1.32 per
hundredweight, and Its importation hna
practically ceased. Oats and barley are
quoted at $1.25 and wheat at $1.10. The
feeders are quietly scouring the coun
try picking up wheat, and the competi
tion between them and the Hour mills
Is likely to bo quite active. Some re
member a winter live or six years ago
when some Nebraskans came in here
with lambs and quietly bought all the
tvhent in sight, compelling the millers
lo import grain to keep their mills go
ing. The wheat is cracked for use and
is said to be an excellent substitute
for the corn, but if oven It ennnot be
obtained the buying of lambs must per
force cease. It would seem as if those
who raised speltz are in luck. The ex
perience of those who have tried it in
dicates that it Is about, if not quite, as
good as corn, and yields of sixty bush
els per ncre are not uncommon."
Very Serlonn.
An exchange tells us that the An
gora goats at the Pan-American had
wool not unlike a small Leicester sheep,
but for some unaccountable reason It
Is called hair. Speaking of the Meri
nos, It says:
"Comment Is liberally bestowed by
visitors when viewing this odd looking
breed of sheep. The conservative breed
ers aro showing the old fashioned Me
rinos as nature and the American cli
mate intended them to look. They have
had the wool pulled, or rather grown,
over their eyes until they can hardly
see; their horns have been roiled in
curl papers during the successive gen
erations, thus giving them the exact
twist necessary to properly emphasize
their beauty. These sheep were evi
dently intended to grow much larger, as
their skin Is rolled and folded over in va
rious places with unnecessary extrava
gance. This feature figures both ways,
however, as it enables them to turn off
a large proportion of leather besides
furnishing a good deal more surface to
grow wool on."
The Perfect Sheep.
An animal compact in form and low
of limb, broad before, behind and all
along the back. The body should be
round, smooth aud deep, the forearm
strong, the thigh full and the twist full.

Sheep In AlnNkn.
Professor C. C. Georgeson, the spe
cial ngent of the agricultural depart
ment who for the past three years has
been In charge of the agricultural ex
periments In the northern territory, be
lieves that the time Is not far distant
when Alaska will be made to support
a vast agricultural population. n
states that the Alaskn Commercial
company has for years raised cattle
nnd sheep near Kadiak and near Una
laska without feeding them a thing In
the winter. The sheep have Increased
at the rate of about GO per cent annu
ally, and the Hock shears about live
pounds of wool annually per head.
This has been done for the past six
teen years. There can he no question
but what It can be repeated on scores
of the Islands in that region. There is
but little timber or undergrowth there,
and practically the entire country is
covered with a heavy growth of nutri
tious grasses.
Phenomenal Oxford Hum.
This Oxford yearling ram was the
champion In his class at the Pan-American
exposition at Buffalo. Ho was
each mnn receiving an average profit
for each head of sheep that he owns.

Did Hotter nl Home.
The sheep sent to the Pan-American
exposition by the territorial govern
ment were an excellent lot, hut the
best price offered for them at Buffalo
was 3 cents a pound live weight. They
were brought back to Winnipeg and
sold for 4Vi cents. The cnttle sent
down were sold to go to Montreal.

Whnt's Your NnmoT
When n boy, the .great French au

but he was allowed to attend, without
paying any fees, a school In which the
majority of the pupils were the sons
of rich men. Ills appearance at the
school, dressed in a blouse, which only
the very poor wore, wub the occasion
of mnny taunts and Jeers from his
schoolfellows, and even the master
never called him b.v his name, but ad
dressed him as "What's your nnmo."
But the boy never deeded tne in win

would make something of himself, say

this school. I must work twice as hard

Results obtained at the Wisconsin
fvrnerlmont station show that there Is
practically no difference In the quan
tity of pork produced from the same
weight of wheat or corn. In four trials
an average of 409 pounds of ground
wheat were required to produce 100
pounds of gain In live weight, in two j
trials with cornmeal 498 pounds were
required to produce 100 pounds of gain.
When a mixture of equal parts of
whiMit nnd corn was fed. better results
were obtained than when cither wheat
or corn was fed alone. It required 485 .
pounds of mixed wheat and corn, half
nnd half, by weight to produce 100
pounds of gain in live weight.
The CnrloUM Dczonr Stone. I
There is now no sale for bezoar
stones. The time was when this con
cretion was deemed very valuable, und
many living men will remember hav
ing seen perfectly formed specimens
sell .for $5 or $10, to be carried in the
pocket as lucky stones. The bezoar
stone is formed In the stomachs of cat
tle. It is calcareous and as hard as a
bit of limestone, but the core Is gener
ally a mass of hair licked from the
hide of the animal and carried into tho
stomach with the saliva. These con
cretions nre as plentiful now as they
over were.

Forming- a Sheep Trust.
Prominent sheepmen of Rawlins,
Wy., say that n movement Is ou foot
to form n sheep trust to control every
sheep ranging In Caribou county over
1,000,000 head. Tho consolidation Is
desired by a number of sheepmen on
account of the range difficulties which
ore constantly arising. There are
enough sheep in tho country to occupy
every ncre of good range, and the small
owners are contsautly clashing with
their flocks. If the trust Is formed, all
flocks will be controlled by an execu
tlvo board, and Interests will be nooled.

Ancient SaorlOces to the Sea.
The navigators of antiquity, to whoso
Imaginative Ignorance the ocean seem
ed peopled and beset with chimeras
dire und supernatural agencies of all
sorts, used often to sacrifice human
lives to the mysterious water gods. It
Is regarded by tradition that Idoine

to Neptune the first living thing he met
after escaping from a storm, und this
happening to be his son he fulfilled
his vow religiously. Medea nearly be
came a sacrifice during the return voy

is doubly attractive. Both features

Unless the ground be low, so as to
mako water collect In the collar, It Is
not necessary, although desirable, to
cement tho walls and floor. Bricks set
on edge and laid with tight Joints form
a clean and satisfactory floor. Slope
tho floor so that a dralu will carry off
any water that may collect This gives
opportunity to fully waBh the cellar,
for cleanliness Is as necessary here ns
in the other rooms. Light, cleanliuess
and pure nlr make the perfect cellar,
