The first knowledge that we here had of their approach was when an echo, about the size of a ten acre rock, struck an "independents" cheek after having carromed on the stone-quarry two miles south of town, aud foil iu fragments to the ground. We were apprehensive at once, and wondered and waited with bated breath baited with sweet spirits of night-air, Jim's best having first taken the precaution to hide ourselves in the friendly shadow of an imperfect moonbeam. They came, and dislodged us with their enthusiasm, (we believe that is what it is called,) stormed us with Eldorado mirth, (which sounds at.

Respect- KANSAS SHEEP HUSBANDRY, BUTLER COUNTY.

this country, where range is abundant and land cheap, 1 would recommend a new beginner to commence with high-grade Merinos, and 300 or -100 wes would be sullicient, for the reason that they are hardier than tho thoroughbred; have not been pampered; will congregate iu much larger Hocks; will shear just as much with the same care and feed; the wool will sell for as much, and the sheep in the first place will not cost one-fourth as much. Breed the ewes to a registered Merino ram of large size, with as long wool and as dense as can be found, ot too full of yolk, neither too light. Auother reason why I prefer tho Merino is, they are, 1 think, more suitable to this climate and location than the long-wools, or Downs, who require richer pasture, where they have not so far to travel to get tilled. Two or three thousand Merinos can be run together profitable in summer time, while 500 or COO long-wools would Vie plenty. And again, one Cotswold, weighing 200 pounds, would cost as much to keep as two Merinos weighing 100 po.iuds each.

And allowing the long-wools to shear twelve pounds of wool, worth at this place twenty cents per pound, we have $2.40. Now take the two Merinos, giving the same weight of fleece, (which a Merino of good grade and weighing 100 pounds will shear) we find we have twenty-four pounds of line wool, which at the price here, twenty-two and one-half cents per pound, is worth 5.40 a difference in favor of the Merino of S3. In regard to handling and taking care of sheep, very much depends upon circumstances, and where you are located. Coyi in the shock, fourteen hills square, and cut when the fodder is green, makes an excellent feed for sheep. Feed an average of two bushels per day to 10O head of grown sheep, aud smaller ones in proportion.

Millet is an excellent feed for sheep: is easily grown, and keeps well in stack. I feed my lambs millet all winter, all they will eat, in addition to their corn. From and after the 1st of February, I feed my breeding ewes, in addition to their corn, all the millet they want up to grass. 1 know it is the general belief that millet fed to ewes will cause abortion. I have fed it for seventeen years in Kansas, yet have never seen any bad effects from it; but on the contrary, 1 think it is one of the very best things to feed to ewes to produce milk, and if the ewe has plenty of milk, half tho battle is fought.

Sheep should be salted at least once a week, about three pounds per hundred head. Lambs, yearlings and ewes should be in seper-ate lots from the main flock during breedingtime. Yearling ewe-3 should not lie bred at all, as it stunts their growth. And in addition, there should be a lot for hospital, where sick sheep and all that are not doing well can be fed, and feed them any thingand everything that they will eat. One good shepard will take care of 2,000 or 3,000 during, the stumer months, and in the heat of the day they ought to be protected from the rays of the sun, either by timber or a shed built, and accessible to their range, with plenty of pure water close by.

The greatest obstacle in the way of making a success in sheep husbandry, is imperfect knowledge, and I would advise any one going into the business, who has no knowledge of it, to get a good practical shepard, or hire out to some good sheep man who has been in the business most of his hfe; and if you don't like that, better work, for nothing, or pay some one a good price for your learning, for you will have to one time or another. The most common disease among the sheep here, is scab, when wo have any, though that is easily cured by attending to it at once," by any common tobacco dips. As a precaution to this disease, I think our Legislature ought to pass a law something siiuiliar to the ono they have in Texas. Each county ought to be provided with an inspector, whose duty-it is to inspect all 6heep coming iuto'or "driving, through, the county, and if found to be.diseased to be sent to quarantine, and kept until the disease is thoroughly eradicated, the owner paying all expeuses aud damages. The best time, think, for selling wool, is as soon as you have It ready for market, you i fc it wil bu high er, a ti en it is very -risky to hold.

Wethers should be sold at three years old, after sheariiig." If no jocal janr-kctfs them. And to sura up the, whole, after deducting for sbeperd, feeding, feed, salt, shearing and losses, you ought to have at least a profit of from twenty-fire, to thirty-five cents on the dollar from your ih-vestmeut.
