Sheep growing in Western Kansas is increasing rapidly in interest and bids fair, soon, to be a business of no mean proportions. Successful sheep husband- horses are on the keen jump after some stray cow, calf or bull, which from the freedom they have enjoyed for a year in roaming tho plains or hills are as wild as an untamed buffalo, then it is plain enough to the most unsophisticated that horses are soon run down.

THE properly understood, there will be no difficulty about sheep husbandry in this section becoming both a successful and profitable bushes. The condition of successful sheep growing in Western Kansas are good water, fresh pasture, shade in summer, plenty of salt, a Uful supply of feed from the middle of December to the last of February, warm dry shelter, 'and diligent, careful herding. With these conditions assiduously ad-.

to sheep will seldom fail to render a handsome remuneration. Sheep require good water. They will not do well upon muddy, stagnant water which a cow or horse will frequently drink greedily. The past ure should be changed every few weeks for them, to do-the Iwt. The sheep is a dainty''' feeder, and after he picks over his pasture a few times and select such as he delights to eat, lie wants a new Held.

There are no animals 'which appreciate salt as much as the sheep in' fact, it is one of the essentials to a thrifty, healthy sheep. Many tlockmasters delight in nu open prairie, but sheep require shade to shield them from the scorching rays of summer's sun. Winter feed winter feed is the reef i upon which' has been stranded the wrecks of nine-tenths of the i v-v-j. a US ships of Western' Kansas. The quality of feed is not so important as the quan-ity.

A sheep will do well on millet, prairie hay, cotton seed, wheat, rye, oats, barley, straw, corner corn fodder, for he is a generous feeder. Good warm dry shelter is second to no other condition in successful sheep hus-bandry. The sheep is a tender animal I and he who expects him to' stand the TV-fleets and snows of this sectian unharmed will simply do so at the risk of the loss OF THE lUnion Pacific Railway, AS WILL BE SEEN BY THE LARGE LOT OF FOLLOWING STATEMENT, HAS A LANDS FOR SALE IN AND Most of which are well adapted for Farming and Grazing purposes.

An English gentleman, a civil en yine-r once passed through a terrible experience while looking death in the lace.

The occasion of it was his rash carelessness in jumping from a railway car while in motion. His residence was near the line of the railroad, but the station was a mile or two further on. One night he was coming home in a train made up of one passenger car and forty or fifty freight cars. As he did not wish to walk from the station, he arranged that, on approaching his house.the train should be "slowed up, ana no would get oat as best he could. On arriving at'the spot, the epecd "of the train slackened to lire or six miles an hour.

The gentleman opened the car door and looked out. It was so dark that he could not see the ground. He jumped, and pitched upon a heap of ballast stone. It yielded, and his foot slipped. lie fell toward the raovin-train, and tumbled into a hole eight dies deep and almost under the rail.

His head just fitted into this Lole-a tight tit it was, for a passing wheel tore off his hat-while his body lay away from the rail on the embankment. "Am I safe?" was his first A car passed over without, him, but rattling the loose rail-joints so as to jar him terribly. Wank, clank, clank, anrl tho the next car shook him again. As he began to feel, safe, the thought struck him, "What if there should be a loose coupling swinging from a car He listened painfully for the janglin-of a swaying chain. The cars moved so slowly that it seemed as if the train would never be past.

Then an almost irrpnisrihi lO raise his head possessed him.

It over mastered his reason and the fear of death lie started to rm'co rena glare.

It was the "tail-lamp-the train had seu. ms reason told him he was safe, but. to his brain, car after car continued to roll above him. He raised his head, wondering how he should feel when it was off, and fainted. When he came to himself, he staggered home and went to bed.

There is much in the manner of herd ing. Sheep need all the latitude possible, and should be driven and turned, while feeding, as seldom as possible; but the herder should be careful to always know exactly where every sheep is.

The large proportion of failures in faheep keeping in this sect ion is easily traceable to a failure to observe these conditions. I have never know any prevailing disease among sheep in this section, save scab, which is not fatal. But I must confess that but few men should engage in sheep husbandry, from the fact, that so imperative are these conditions and so few men, if they know-, either from neglect or iuahil- ity will comply that most of them will fail to make it profitable.
