THURSDAY, MAY 2t,
CAKE OF SHEEP.
Br Frank M. jl ramp), or IVltlasi', 1." y.'ars
Of all animals the sheep, per
haps, requires the most attention,
and it should have the constant
care of the shepherd. Many pages
could be filled with interesting an
ecdotes of thc-m and their charac
teristics. But mv remarks are of a
few years' exprrieuco iu Eastern
Oregon. Though I do not pretend
to say they are perfectly
roid of mintages, I think they
will meet the approval of your
respectable society.
The sheep in Eastern Oregon
generally receive abundant care,
yet I have known enraged sheep
herders to abusa and even kill
ungovernable leaders of their
flocks.
Iu this regioh Fheepare kept en
tirely by shepherds, and no longer
than a month at a time in one
placo. This is on account of the
food, which is eaten off much fast
er than it grows, also it prevents
paturage. Thus tho flocks are
moved fro::: place to placo.
Tho camp is usually situated on
or near some body of water which
is accessable for the sheep. The
shepherd, thus left alone, sees no
one until the next mouth, except
an occasional visitor to his camp.
On the range, the shepherd is
interested in keeping his flocks
always feeding, nnd to see that
nons are left behind. Old (sheep
have a wny of feeding off from the
rest, and if not closly watched
may become lost from the herd.
Once left on the range over night,
they are not likely to be found in
tho morning, for the coyotes are so
nurnerous, that a sheep would
be slaughtered by thorn. The coy
ote peforms some curious maneu
vers in attacting its prey, and
when the sheep see it, they will
run togilhar, andj are quickly
noticed by the shepherd. When
signs of a coyote are seen the dog
at bis master's call, commences
seaching for tho intruder. The
dog also iiBsit-'U his master in many
other tfays. The sheep are kept
through the summer, without any
shelter from the sun and infre
quent rains. One thing is very
remarkable about sheep. Large
flocks are often hard for one man
to control, but they are most easily
managed when they are allowed
to fead with their heads toward
the suu. F)r it is determined
that they are constantly wr.tohing
the sun.
When tho autumn comes the
sheep are brought close to hny, or
gome brush covered plain, to
which hay is brought. The brush
is the chief article of food. Tbe
snow falls nbout two feet deep in
winter. In thi they could not
get any food without the use of a
snow-plow, which is, made in a
dye-lik shape, constructed of
wood and putlod by horses.
With this roads are made,
through which the sheep are in
duced to move. A little hay is
scattered over the bushes thus
cleared, and the sheep will out the
hay, and then the bushes. Neith
er do the nlieep have any shelter
in winter. This is because they
are morad about through the
brush very often, and must not be
fatigued by being driven back to a
place) of shelter. They are left
alone at tight, with no fear of the
coyote, for he hiin-self does not
fancy the rough work of traveling
through the snow.
When the winter is over and
tho weather is warm, comes the
time for shearing, which is about
the 1st' of May. This is perform
ed iu stulls. One man can ordin
arily nhi-ar from fifty to seveuty
five sheep in a day. A man who
cau shear 100 is called a "hundred
striker."
The wool, alter being taken
front the sheep, is put in sucks.
There are several ways of doing
this, of which the most common is
with a tripod, made of wood, nine
feet high, and four feet square sur
face ou top. In this a hole cut, into
which the. mouth of the sack is at
tached. Tho wool is then thrown
ia and tramped down.
The overage weight of a sack is
about S80 pounds. The Spuuisli
merino sheop, which is chiefly
raised here, produce' the finest
svLx.l of nrv.

This might be taken for ft mu-
tilatedjace of clubs, bnt it is'noth-
ing of the kind. It came Iron:

and shows what the Heppner coun
try will produce.
J. In 9 is a
GMitk fcorkood
iub neigu-&&
of Heppner, -sw-?oa wnich
the rustling son of toil is growing
noli raising j&sSjR, as, ra,
s. When the suu
goes down be.
hind Gov. EeaV
hill addition to
Heppner town,
he takes down his
and rakes off the fame invigorating
tunes that Johnny Keenoy plays
while the Heppner youth and
maidens keep time with their Chi
cago foet. He then goes to bed
with a conscience Ul it has no rcck3
on it, and is roused by tho melodi
ous song of this
who kep3 regular hour tho year
round, regardless of the Heppner
railroad excitement. Ho then
takes passage ou an animal, whose
portrait appears below, but our
artist was unable to procure a re
liable pict ire, cwi ig to t :e d lum
biu rivsr fog which obscured the
view.
However, the opportunity to
sae the surrounding country was
all mortal could auk, catching a
brief glimpse of Mount St. Helens
in the operation ami reaching dirt
with ft dull thud, jamming the
lunch in his coat-tail pocket clear
through his navy-blue overalls.
He gets disgusted, borrows Nelse
Jones' steed of the same family but
of a more kid-like disposition, and
strikes for Hsyskack valley, by
this
thitwillbe ou the new road to
that section, but which has only
been passible for birds oven be
fore Uncle Jack Morrow struck th e
colony. He rests tit a
camp where he ia fed on
the substancial part of a hog, not,
bv this
NO. 270.
bnt. through the kinduessfof a
pastoral shepherd, who reads ag
ricuturnl reports., and also the
Gazette rag, and knows how to en
tertain his cuost. When he
struck Haystack those
who looked like mule-eared rabbets
holding sweet counsel as to the ad
visability of making a break for
Mr. Fell's apple trees down on Dr.
Shobe's place, but proved to be
a camp-tender's pack-mules, who
had stopped to see his best girl
and fill up on strawberries. If
ho don't make himself known in
the vicinity of his employer's
ranch iu 21 hours, the immortal
g. b. will pe tendered him on his
return.
If this r aeher finds Heppner's
original snipes again, the people
will be made to know how much
good country there is over the
mountains.
GOULD'S PRAYER.
Our father who art in England,
Rothschild be thy name.
Thy kingdom come to America,
and thy will be done in the United
States as it is iu England.
Give us plenty of workingmen's
votes to keop mouoply in power
andits friends iu oflice.
We know, our father, we have
done many things that were
wrong.
We have robbed the honest
poor and brought distress to many
n door.
We know that it was wrong to
refund the bonds and made them
payable in coin.
We know that it was wrong to
water our railroad stocks, but thou
knowost we make money by that.
Now, futher, thou knowest that
we are above politics that it is tl e
mane with us whether the demo
crats or republicans rule, for
tliou knowest that we are able to
swing either party iu our favor.
Lead us not iu the way of strik
ers, and deliver us from the
knights of labor, and thus shall
we have the kingdom, bonds, in
terest, power and gold. Aaricii.
