ACRICULTURAL, Sheep Rafsing in Nebraska The Omaha correspondent of The $t. Louis Globe-Democrat gives the following statistics of the growth of that important industry in this state Last year 200,000 sheep were shipped into Nebraska from California and Oregon, a large number from Col orado, New Mexico, and a few from the east. Western sheep are pre forred because they are more hardy and freer from disease. Mexican or California owes are preferred by breeders, and are orossed with Merinos, Cotswolds or Downs, thus combining the hardy qualities of the western animals with the superior ad vantages of the higher bred sheep. To begin with in Dodge county there are 40,000 head of sheep, which will shear from six to seven pounds per head. 18 the largest grower. He has a herd of 6,000 head, and during the severe winter of 1880-81 did not lose 2 per cent. In an experience of twenty years, he says he has noyer had a loss of b per cent. He is feeding 4,000 wethers this winter which were driven from California last summer. When they were received they weighed about 105 pounds, and by the middle of March they will woigh 130 pounds He has contracted to deliver these at that timo, and gets ¢ cents per pound at Fremont depot. Besides the 4,000 fed by Dr. Abbott, Megsrs. Baldwin and Blewettare each teeding a like number, and Abbott and Wilson have 2,000, and there are others amounting in all to 20,000. Mr. Lee, of Fremont, is probably the heaviest dealer in Nebraska. He handled 24,000 Oregon feeders last season, nearly all of which were sold 1 Dodge county, and are being fat- tened in lots from 1,000 to 4,000. In Colfax county, just west of Dodge, there are 10,000 sheep. In 1869 Wm. Draper, president of the County Agricultural society, brought the firat sheep into the county. This year his surplus ‘‘lamb crop” brought him $2 75 cash each, and as there were 200 or 300 of them, he realized pretty well. Mr. Draper says a sheep never dies 1n its owner's debt. The return is sure; after the increase and wool the hide pays the cost of the ani- mal. He is an enthusiast in wool- growing, and aftirms that a man of small means can buy 100 two-year-old ewes for §300, and in one year he will have his money back and the three-year-old ewes besides. Mr. J. M. Chadwick, of Monroe, Wis., has a ranch in Merrick county, where he is feeding nearly 3,000. He has also a herd of 9,000 uear Chey- ewes and wethers each season for market, the former in Nebraska aund the remainder in Chicago. Last year he was not ableto supply the demand for stock sheep. He places the ex- pense of caring for sheep from Novem- ber to May at 13 cents, and the rest Agents for BENWOOD NAILS AND LAFLIN & RAND POWDER 00, fof thoyear it in scurcely anything, s ‘W. B.

Barker & Uroxson went to Silver Creek, in the same county, i July, 1880, with 4,000 sheep bought in Wisconsin. In spite of the severe winter they escap- ed with the loss of only 150, and the increase was 50 per cent. Their woolclip averaged six pounds per head, and for it they received 24 cents, They, as well as other growers, say that sheep in this climate have no foot rot and very little scab. Hall county has 50,000 sheep and in the spring will have 25,000 more. Ira Lewis, who makes this estimate, had 275 lambs last year from 300 ewes. He has sold ewes to butchers this year which weighed from 120 to 140 pounds. They were graded Cots- wolds. The counties further west are all largely engaged in wool growing. Kearney, Buffulo, Phelps and Dawson all have some good ranches, and in each of them the herds are being rap- idly improved in grade. Col. g H. Roe, of Kearney, Buffalo county, has 360 full-blooded merinos. H. Stoddard, the poultry fancier, of Hartford, Conn., has $13,000 invest- ed in sheep in Dawson county, and next spring will bring in 10,000 more sheep. In his present flock he has 100 pure merino ewes, which cost him $00 each. Hollis & Co., of Boston, the largest meat exporters in the Uni- ted States, are locating $20,000 in sheep in Qawson county. Mr, Bacon, who has ranch in Phelps county, has just taken 100 thoroughbred registered merino bucks to that county, bought in Woodstock, Vt. Away forty miles north of the rail- way in Custer county there are sever- al good herds. Heury Goodyear has 5,000, Henry Wiley very near as many, and other smaller herds. Wil- liam Strong has been importing sheep for some time to that country, and next spring will bring in 10,000 from New Mexico. Ira Nichols, of Brad- ford, Pa., has located three ranches in Lincoln county, and will put 4,000 high grade ewes on each next spring. He has just purchased fifty-eight pure mermo bucks. He has already over 6,000 on his ranches. Thos. Keogh & Bro,, of Ogallalla, who are the largest shippers in western Nebras- ka, handled 20,000 head last season, and say they expect to dispose of as mauy more the coming summer, Messrs, Winnett and Maple have four sheep ranches near Sidney, 400 miles from Omaha. , This present win- ter they are feeding 2,200 wethers, and have shipped 700 to Chicago and 4,000 to the Black Hills. Next year they expect to bring 12,000 sheep. There is & good deal of money in the sheep business. Ewes cost only $2.50 to §3 00, and wool seldom goes below 20 cents. Lambs, when they are dropped are reckoned to be worth about §1, and about 80 per cent of the ewes will bring on lambs each year. When the ewes and wethers begin to get old theix_carcasses bring from three to six cents per pound, and their pelts, even, have a value, Condition of Winter Wheat in Iowa. Burlington Hawkeye.
