Fully a Hundred Million Sheep in Australasia. One
Man Formerly Poor, Now Owns More Than a Million
And Sells Rams For $5,000 Apiece—Auction and
8 hows.
Writing from Sydney, Australia, to the
Pittsburg ‘‘Dispaich,”’ Frank G. Carpenter
Says:
I had achat the other day with the
sheep king of Australia, the biggest sheep
owner of this great sheep continent. Aus-
tralia is the wool centre of the world. It
has more than 100,000,000 sheep and it
cuts enough wool from their backs to bring
in $100,000,000 a year. It has some of the
largest flocks of sheep ever gathered togeth-
er. Job’s cattle upon a thousand bills
cannot compare with them. There are a
haondred men in New South Wales alone
who each own 50,000 head; there are hun-
dreds more who have 20,000 head; four
hundred who each have 10,000 and many
who own flocks of a thousand and upward.
There are 21 men in this state who each
own 100,000 sheep, and McCaughey, the
king of them all, has more than a million.
Think what a million sheep means ! Let
them weigh a hundred pounds apiece and
they would give enough mutton to furnish
a slice to every man, woman and child in
the United States, and leave enough for an
Irish stew for our whole nation next day.
The wool upon them would clothe the peo-
ple of any one of our cities with the excep-
tion, perhaps, of New York or Chicago,and
they would annually produce enough pet
lambs for the Marys of half the United
States.
All these sheep are owned by Samuel
McCaughey, an Irishman, who came to
Australia in 1876 with practically nothing.
He failed at first and started again with a
small flock, and from year to year.has add-
ed to his holdings until he has now more
sheep than any other man in the world.
He has more acres of land than sheep, and
his possessions are in the best part of Aus-
tralia. Iam told that one of his farms on
the Darling Downs is 36 miles long and 40
miles wide. He has other stations in New
South Wales, and altogether he owns
more than a million acres and leases about
a million or so more. His estates are fenc-
ed off with wire into great paddocks in
which the sheep are kept. He bas sunk
artesian wells to supply them with water,
and he imports the finest of Vermont rams
to improve his stock. At one shearing he
sold a million and a quarter pounds of
wool, and at another the product amount-
ed to 12,000 bales. Some of the ordinary
sheep have cut as much as 22 pounds of
wool, and at a recent shearing 25 averaged
over 16 pounds each. One of his rams,
which took a premium at the recent sheep
show, had a fleece upon it which, he told
me, would cut 45 pounds, and although he
was offered $5,000 for the sheep he refused
it. “
. It will surprise our farmers to know that
it is not an uncommon thing in Australia
for a blooded ram to sell for $2,000 and up-
ward. There are sheep sales here every
Year at which the best stock is sold at auc-
Gon, and a number of instances have oc-
curred in which rams have sold for a thou-
sand guineas, or more than $5,000 each. I
have before me the highest prices of the
sheep sales during the past ten years. In
1900 eight sheep were sold from $1,500 to
$5,000 each. In 1891 the highest price
pRid was $3,550, but in 1896 the ram
*‘President,”” owned by James Gibson sold
for $8,000 while one of Mr. McCaughey’s
sheep brought $2,500. In 1897 W. H.
Gibson sold the ram ‘‘Royalist’’ for $5,000
and in 1899 Thomas Gibson sold ‘‘Admiral’’
for 1,500 guineas, or $7,500. At these
sales hundreds of sheep sold from $200 to
$1,000, and many sold from between $1,000
and $5,000. In 1896 Mr. Gibson got on
the average $830 for the sheep he: brought
to the sale, and in 1890 his average was
$1,000, while in 1899 he received on the
average $1,280. This will show that it
pays to breed fine sheep in Australia, and
will give yon some idea of the enormous
value of Mr. McCaughey’s holdings, many
of the sheep being very fine.
Mr. McCaughey believes that the best
rams for Australian sheep are those from
Vermont. There is a large importation of
such sheep every year, and thereare Amer-
icans who make a business of taking sheep
across the Pacific to Australia for sale.
They choose the finest and best bred Ver-
mont Merinos, ship them: to Puget Sound
and thence by steamer to Sydney. Sever-
al shipments have ‘been made around the
Cape of Good Hope, but as a rule the latter
route is too long and the sheep sometimes
die on the way.
. In my chat with Mr. McCaughey he told
me that he had been importing Vermont
rams for almost twenty yeers. Said he:
© “I went to Vermont first in 1886, and
picked out 120 ewes and 40 rams. I sent
them to Australia and used them for breed-
ing. The following spring I went back
and bought 102 more sheep, and since then
I have bought quite a lot of Vermont
stock. My pure Vermont sheep now num-
ber about 2,000, and I bave sold many dur-
ing the last ten years,”
© "““But is it not expensive to get the sheep
here from Vermont ?’’ I asked.
_ “Yes. My first importation, not includ-
ing the cost of thesheep, footed up $45,000
but I think that the results have fully
justified the expenditures. 1 value my
Vermont stock at 50 guineas a head. I
have sold them at 500 guineas, or $2,500.
I sold a ram today for $2,000, and I have
‘sold ewes as high as $750.
‘‘I suppose that the chief profit comes
from the improvement of your own flock,’’
said I.
‘Yes. That's where the money is,’ re-
plied Mr. McCaughey. *“‘I think my cross-
ing my breeds with the Vermont sheep has
added at least a pound of wool per sheep a
year to my flocks. You see I have about
1,000,000 sheep and an increase of this
kind is worth a great deal. I have some
sheep which will average 7} pounds to the
fleece, and I think by breeding I can in-
crease this to 15 pounds per fleece. I have
had sheep which produce as much as 45
pounds of wool at one shearing, and at one
time we cut 52 pounds of wool from one of
our Vermont rams, and 35 pounds from a
ewe. I bave distributed the Vermont
sheep through my flocks hoth in New South
Wales and in Queensland, and the result.is
a considerable increase in the clip. We
find that the sheep which comes from a
cross of the Vermont and the Australian
retain their wool much longer than the
Australian sheep.’’ ¢
I wish I could show you some of the
sheep exhibited at the Sydney sheep show.
There were in all 700, representing every
part of Australia. Four hundred of these
were merinos, being in the fine wool class,
and 300 were fat sheep entered in the com-
petition in the class for frozen mutton.
Every sheep at the show was worth sever-
al hundred dollars. Among the latter was
Mr. McCaughey’s $5,(00 ram, which took
first prize. It was a great oblong bundle
of wool with a pair of big horns at the end
of it. The wool lay on it in folds and rolls
in order that it might hold more. Its ears
were entirely hidden by the wool. The
wool came out thiee inches over its eyes,
and there were small holes in it through
which the eyes looked out. I stuck my
finger into the fleece and could just touch
the skin without putting my whole fist in
it. The wool hung down in great bunches
on the body and the legs were covered clear
to the hoofs. On the outside the wool was
of a dirty color, but when I pulled it aside
and looked in, it was a rich creamy white.
The strands of wool were spiral and springy
and very fine.
In some of the stalls Isaw ewes which
had 30 pounds of wool on them, and every-
where I heard the praise of our Vermont
sheep. I asked one mau whether the sheep
did not lose their wool from generation to
generation in so warm a country as New
South Wales. He replied that they did.
and that the bringing in a cold climate
sheep, such as ‘‘the Vermonts,”’ prevented
this.
The sheep owners, or squatters, as they
are called, were all well dressed and well
educated men. There were hundreds of
them at the show. They looked more like
a crowd of Yankee business men than any-
thing else, and at the dinner which was
given they made speeches in response to
toasts which were as good as you will hear
anywhere. They were all landholders and
many bad farms which would be consider-
ed principalities in the United States, but
which are looked upon as quite small here.
For instance, I asked as to whether the
vice president had a large station. The
reply was that he bad not, and that his
possessions all told comprised only about
65,000 acres of land. Another man was
pointed out who owned 200,000 acres, and
another who had 500,000 acres, - all under
fence.
Sydney is the chief wool market of
Australia. Itships hundreds of millions of
bales of wool to Europe every year and it has
some of the largest wool ware houses in the
world. Let us take a walk through one of
them. We are in a great room covering
many acres. It is roofed with glass and
upon its floors are thousands of bales of
wool. Each bale is as high as your shoul-
der. It is wrapped in yellow baggings, but
the top is open and the white wool seems
to have burst upon the floor. It is marked
with the station from where it comes.
In other parts of the warehouse are
mountains of wool which have been taken
out of the bales, and in other places the
men are repacking the wool for shipment.
The sheep are not washed before shear-
ing and the wool is exported as it comes
from their backs, the cleaning being done
after it reaches European markets.
One of the curious features of Sidney is
its wool sales. Fverything is sold at auc-
tion. The sales take place. in November,
December and January, when buyers from
England and the Continent and from the
United States and Japan come here to hid.
The buyers wear iong ovarall and linen
coats while examining wool. They go
from bale to hale, taking notes of each
man’s stocks, in order that they may know
how much to offer for it in the auction
rooms. As many as 100,000 bales are
sometimes sold in a day, and single sales
will foot up as much as $750,000.
I chatted with F. E. Winchcombe one
of the largest wool dealers of Sydney,
about the business. He tells me a few
years ago almost all the wool of Australia
was shipped direct by thesquatters to Lon-
don, and there resold and reshipped. At
present the greater part of the product is
sent to commisssion agents at the ports,
the Sydney brokers shipping about 400,000
bales annually Mr. Winchcombe and his
partner sell about $7,000,000 worth of
wool, skins and other such things every
year, and their dealings are with all parts
of Europe. It used to be that Germany.
Belgium and France bought their wool
from Australia through London. Now
each country sends its own buyers and
‘most of them deal directly with the com-
mission agents of Sydney.
It is surprising how cheaply the wool
can be taken from Australia to London.
There are many lines of steamers and
there are fleets of sailing vessels engaged
in the business. Some of the steamers are
of 10,000 tons one of which well carry as
much as 10.000 bales. Some of the sailing
vessels will take 2,000 bales,and the compe-
tition is so great that the freight rate is
now just about one-fourth of a cent per
pound. It takes less than 4 pounds of wool
to make a suit of clothes,and for a cent
you can carry the wool for the suit from
Australia to London. The sailing vessels
of the wool fleet go around the Cape of
Good Hope. while the steamers, as a rule,
travel via the Suez canal. The shortest
route is over 11,000 miles, and the ecarry-
ing of four pounds 11,000 miles for 1
cent is one of the wonders of modern civ-
lization.
The prices of wool vary according to
quality. The coarse wool will often
bring only 13 and. 14 cents, while the fine
brings as much as 30 and 35 cents. There
are certain brands of wool known by the
names of their owners, which always
bring high prices. I have before me a
list of some of the greasy wool sales of last
year, showing thafi cetrain buyers got as
‘much as 5 cents a pound. more than the
ordinary market rates. There is also a
difference in the price according to what
part of the sheep the wool comes from.
Every sheep is divided up into sections,
and after the fleece is taken off the wool
from the legs goes into oue place, that
from the backs into another, and so on, a
‘dozen classifications being made from the
same sheep.
Sydney has its wool exchange, where all
the wool auctions are held. The ex-
change is situated near the wharves ‘in
the heart of the city. Itis a long, narrow
room much like a chapel, with an austion-
eer’s desk like a pulpit in one end of it.
The various wholesale dealers or commis-
sion merchants are allotted different days
on which they may auction off their stock,
and on these days the buyers come to bid.
Cable reports are received as to the price
in the great wool markets over the world,
and the excitément rises and falls with the
quotations. The commission merchants are
only interested in getting as much as they
can for their customers, and the wool often
brings more than it is worth. After it issold
a commission man delivers it to the steamer
packed ready for shipment.
Here in Australia the government has
colleges for wool students. A branch of
the techncal echools is devoted to night
classes for sheep breeders and wool deal-
ers. In these schools the students are
taught all about sheep. The different
breeds are exhibited and their qualities
pointed out. The students have to grade
and classify wool, acd hundred of bales
from the station are supplied to the school
by wool dealers for this purpose. Each
student wears an apron and overalls to
keep the greasy stuff from soiling his
clothes while he goes through the bales
picking out the good and bad wool and
Wve nrizas A
sorting it according to quality. He is
taught how to sheer sheep and scour wool.
He is taken by the teachers into tbe wool
stores and is given the best of practical
instruction as to feeding, shipping and
marketing.
There is a regular profession of wool
sorting in Australia, and the man who
knows all about wool and sheep can get
a high salary as a manager or expert. Sup-
pose a squatter has 100,000 sheep and can
add one pound per sheep to his crop of
wool the difference is 100,000 pounds per
annum, which means a fortune. It is so
with the man owning smaller flocks, and
hence the wool and sheep experts are sure
of good wages.
Men from the woolen mills of England
are bronght out here for this purpose, and
every effort is made to produce the high-
est-priced wool.
IT had a talk as to the growth of Austra-
lia’s wool industry with one of the old-
time squatters, a man who has been
raising sheep for 50 years and who has
now about 50,000 on two different sta-
tions. Said he: ‘‘We have fewer sheep
in Australia to-day than we had ten years
ago. Here in South Wales we had more
than 60,000,000 in 1891, and now we have
just about 40,000,000. We have lost 20-
000,000 by the drought and overstocking
and bave now just about what we can
easily feed. I can remember the time
there were only 6,000,000 sheep in this
colony. Then all the sheep were herded .
now they are kept in paddocks, fenced
with wire, and it takes fewer shepherds
and the cost is much less.”
‘““Where did your first sheep come from?
I asked.
‘“They were brought over by the con-
victs;”’ was the reply. - “When Capt. Phil-
ips came here in 1788, he brought 28 sheep
and other live stock. These sheep did very
well, and it was a few years after that that
Captain MacArthur started the idea of
making a sheep country of Australia.
MacArthur was a military man with a
scientific bent. He had a farm near Syd-
ney and experimented in crossing some
East India rams and Irish ewes, and asa
result produced wool better than that of
either the ancestors. He then experimented
with the Merinos. You know perhaps,
that up to the present century the finest
wool came from Spain, which had always
been noted as a sheep-breeding country.
The Spanish had large flocks of Merinos,
and the government forbade the exporta-
tion in order to keep the wool trade in
Spain. The dealers of that time thought
that good wool could be grown nowhere
else than in Spain, and the Spanish wool
consequently brought the highest prices.
“Captain MacArthur imported several
Merino sheep from the Gape of Good Hope,
and he also got some from the flock of
King George III, of England, who had
originally secured them from the King of
Spain.
*“The English government gave Mac-
Arthur a grant of 10,000 acres of land to
try his experiment, and in a short time he
proved that Australia could produce as
good sheep as Spain and that its wool was
equally fine. It was long before the wool
éxportations amounted to much, but the
flocks steadily increased and the character
of the wool improved, until now we raise
more wool and better wool than any
other country. We are, I think, furnish-
ing at least one-fifth of all the wool raised
in the world to-day.’’
The Work of Republicans.
From the Chicago-Herald (Rep.)
Notwithstanding the overwhelming pre-
ponderance of the Republican party. in
Pennsylvania no State in the Union has
been scandalized by so many frands upon
the ballot-hox. In the city of Philadel-
phia, where only a small percentage of the
party vote at any election is necessary to
secure Republican ascendency, the most
notorious frauds in the way of corrupting
voters and stuffing ballot-boxes are charged
against the Republicans.
Ballot reform in Pennsylvania bas a
much greater task before it than confront-
ed the Legislature of Maryland. The de-
mand is not only for a ballot that will be
less favorable to the designs of party bosses
but for a ballot that shall represent the in-
telligent and untrammeled sentiment of
the voter. The present ballot law in Penn-
sylvania has a clause known as the ‘‘assist-
ance clause,’’ which permits a voter to take
a helper into the booth with him. The
possibilities of fraud in such a provision
ought to be plainly obvious even to a novice
in politics. Under this clause superinten-
dents of coal mines and heads of industrial
establishments have ‘‘voted” hundreds of
employes. It is doubtful if any other State
in the Union would tolerate such a Jaw.
Although Senator Quay, during his can-
vass for re-election, promised to supvort a
measure providing for reforms, it is now
given out that ‘‘there will be no ballot re-
form legislation this session.”” The popular
demand for this legislation is growing so
insistent, however, that even the imperious
Quay may be powerless to prevent it. If
defeated at this session it will he the domi-
naut issue in the State campaign in 1902.

Republi-
From the Detroit Evening News.
What would have been said of Tam-
many Hall if its boss, being also boss of
New York State, as Quay is boss of Penn-
sylvania, engineered a set of ‘“‘ripper”’ bills
throgh the Legislature hy which the con-
trol of all the leading cities of the State
was placed in the hands of the party ma-
chine, then proceeded in one brief meeting
to railroad through fourteen street railway
franchises, covering the whole city of New
York, underground, on the street levels
and overhead ? * * * ¥ [In Tweed’s time
in New York things as wicked as this may
have been done, but nothing so bold and
barelaced. Yet it seems to be accepted as
a matter of course in Philadelphia. There
is no such popular arising against it as that
which Mr. Tilden headed against Tweed,
and which never ceased until that mis-
creant died in jail. Quay still holds his
head high, and there is not enough opposi-
tion even to provoke on his part a repetition
of Tweed’s defiant ‘inquiry : ‘“What are
you going to do about it?’ There is no-
body making the slightest suggestion that
anything will be done about it except to
submit. ;

THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF BELLEFONTE

Can there be any stronger proof of-
fered than the evidence of Belle-
fonte residents? After you have
read the following quietly answer
the question.
Mr. William Valence of 226 High
street,night watchman,says: “For
2 years or more off and on, I had
trouble with my back and pains in
the upper part of my spine accom-
panied by a disagreeable feeling
in my head and acute lameness
right over my kidneys. At first I
thought it was my liver but later
found it arose from the kidneys
not acting properly. I read of the
many cures that had been made in
Bellefonte by Doan’s Kidney Pills
and I got them at F. Potts Green's
drug store. They stopped the an-
noyance from the kidneys and re-
moved the lameness and aching
in my back. They did me any
amount of good and I do not hesi-
tate to recommend them.”
