For several years I have preached "sheep" through the agricultural press, and to-day wool brings 30 and sheep 40 per cent, more than during that time. Flockmasters have imbibed the spirit of breeding up, for they now see the necessity of it. From correspondents in several states I learn that "more sheep" is gener ally iu the minds of wool aud mut ton growers, and those who have pure, blood for sale would ad vance their own interests by mak ing the fact known through the i press, i ou cannot impress it too forcibly upon the minds of your readers that none but purebred bucks, of whetever breed, are fit to place in any flock of ewes. If a jiuBuu u aw ooo, pureorea j buck is cheaper at S65 or S100 than the service of a scrub for. nothing. Many people here have a way of wintering sheep at a nominal ex pense. Straw is the fodder al most wholly; some add a very lit tle grain, say 15 or 20 cents worth to a sheep during the winter, but there are those who feed nothing but straw, and the animals do equally well. This result could not be understood until Dr. G. C. Caldwell, of Cornell University, as certained that the feeding value of oat straw is 77 and wheat straw 70 per cent, of that of average mead ow hajT, and barley straw is still better, for I have tested all three, the straw is fed in bunks, twice a day, a quarter more than the ani mals will eat up clean, the bunks being emptied of the refuse each time before feeding. Straw fed ewes do well at lambing time and hay fed ewes not always, because hav is constipating and straw is not. The sheep should have access to water and salt constantly. 1ms nnwis a wide field to utilize the otherwise almost useless straw stacks of the grain growing dis tricts of the great West In a tour through some parts of the AVest last winter, where the land is level, it was observed that the great "drawback" to sheep hus bandry there is the surface wet it of t!u ' vial it su o in' :. r.r 1 sheep-fold 1 to any ti'din dy t .lH . :.

He said: "The depression in prices and Ibo present shite of the c:tttle market are due to the over-production and oijfur-?ed competition of fanners raisiiiir cattle tin the higher priced and Liifltly improved farms of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kan sas and Nebraska, with the ranchers of the West and Southwest, who herd thous ands of this character of inferior cattle upon public lands ot little value.

Many other ranges have since irnuspire.l to de press thia branch of !I:e ca'tlo br;i:ios and to cause the ovor-niai ketiug of cnt tie, among which way be mentioned the thinning out of the lurge ranches, as the government binds have been t ali en up by acfcunl settlers; t!ie overcrowd ing of other range?; drouths and short pastnre; severe winters ami a necessity upon the part of.caitie corporations and owners for the realization of quick prof its to meet the payment of iu;r:mteed x rom tins it vvili be seen th he at- trihntes the depression to trie enormous increase of production beyond the wants of consumers. In other word,-i, over-pro-(lueiion, which is the inevitable forerun ner of stagnation in any branch of indus try, resulting in bankruptcy to numbers engaged in the trade. TaKing his statement as fact, that "tiie ,e f"rf 1 by,,1,e n,li!'"1 icorea8 jf Pro' I tliiction. beyond the necessities of con- sumers, be makes a fair showing that the large interests which the purchasers of cattle had in ihe capital invested in their business, made it necessary to con tinue tbe trade, rather than lose tbe in vestment in the iinnicuse works required to handle the product. Tho enormous number of cattle press ed n;ion the market beyond the reasona ble wants of the consuming markets, ne cessitated the opening of new sources of trade to dispose of the mannfactnred stock in its various forms; thus increas ing the cost of handling and disposing oi the product. It is not improbable, from Mr. Amour's view, that the so-called beef trust! has been of material benefit in disposiui; of the cattle forced upon the market at the depressed rates, by assuming the respon sibility of forcing the dressed and man ufactured product upon a glutted market. He claims that it was only the immense number of 310,,19 cattle slaughtered by him in on year, that yielded a profit of SI. 22 per head, which aggregated a total profit of H18,li1.4() on the very 1,-irgs capital employed; and he thinks this 'e compensation for aud distributing 213,- is not an escessi the labor of killing 501,005 ponrds of human food."
