Sheep Ralslnrj In New Mexico.
A Kalians City newspaper oys:
Tbere arrived In tlmt city Urn evening
on the Atchlimon.Topeka and Bauta Fe
railroad from Las Animas, Col., Benor
Vlnce-jjtp.M. lJaca, of Bnlen, New Mex
lco, hue of the cIiobmi few who owns
the Immense wealth of New Mexico,
which is concentrated principally in its
mines and vast herds of sheep, lie and
his father are owners of 400,01)0 head of
sheep. In a conversation last evening
with a reporter, he imparted some very
interesting points concerning the shep
herds of New Mexico and the growth
and present condition of the wool trade
"Our huiHness is sheep-raising, and to
that wu devote our entire attention.
We were born to the business and have
made it a close study, and of course it
Iiub proved successful."
"Have you any data ot hand to show
when sheep raising became one of the
important industries of New Mexico?"
"None at all. My father was engaged
in it, and his father and grandfather
before him. It has been a business of
generations with us. It has changed in
its character and the system of carrying
it on as the trade has increased and new
markets and new market facilties have
beeu provided."
"To what extent are you engaged in
sheep raising now V"
"We estimate the number or our
sheep to-day at 100,000 head, but this
estimate is rather under than over the
number."
"How do you manage so many
sheep VP
"We give out herds of from 500 to
1,000 sheep, we receive an annual divi
dend of 250 good wethers, selected by
ourselves, and the fleece of 1,000 sheep.
These fleeces average now about two
and one-half pounds of wool."
"It has been my Impression that a
fleece of wool from your little Mexican
sheep did not average more than a pound
to a pound and a half."
"Such was the case a few years ago,
before we introduced improved stock
into our herds. But of late years we
have spent large sums' of money in in
troducing fine stock into New Mexico."
"Do your people in New Mexico still
favor the fine wool or Spanish merlnoB
as a cross for the improvement of your
herds V"
"No, sir. We have turned our atten
tion to the importation of the Cotswold
breed from Canada. A cross of this
large, hardy, long-wool animal with our
small Mexican merino sheep produce a
grade which cannot be beaten. Our
fleeces, which were considered good at
one and a half pounds four years ago are
not good now if they do not weigh at
least two and a quarter pounds. This is
the result of judicious crossing with the
Jong-wool sheep."
"As a sheep-raising region do you
think that Colorado will ultimately rival
2?ew Mexico as a sheep-grazingcountry.
"No ; Colorado has too long winters
for profitable sheep raising there. In
New Mexico we have only three months'
winter. In Colorado their lambs die of
cold in spring and the herds are lost in
snow in winter. We find Colorado un
adapted to sheep raising."
Mr. Baca closed his interview with
the remark that he is now moving two
herds of 10,000 head each of fat shucp to
that and other eastern markets.
Sure Cure for Chicken Cholera.
We have received the following well
tried recipe for chicken cholera, from
Mrs. H. P. Whlteman, of Merlon
Square, Montgomery county, and which
has never yet failed :
Make half a pound of ordinary starch,
and mix therewith three pounds of
coarse bran. When well mixed feed to
the fowls aiwl they will recover rapidly.
Bryn Mawr News.
K3TTbe collars of coats become soiled
very quickly from contact with hair,
but chloroform will clean them very
well without any bad odor. Potato
starch water, made by grating potatoes
into a little water and letting it settle,
then pouring it off and rubbing it on
with a sponge, will also take off the
grease and spots.
CarTo keep tins looking bright is a
simple matter if boiling water is used.
The teakettle and various articles of
kitchen furniture will need frequent
polishing. For tin, copper, steel and
zinc, use kerosene and finely pulverised
bristol brick. Wash in hot soap suds
and polish with whiting.
ST Potatoes should be dug as soon as
the tops are dead, and when the ground
is perfectly dry, so that no soil will
adhere to the tuber roots. Potatoes dug
at such a time are nicer to handle, and
will keep much better than If gathered
UDder different circumstances.
