But that had all happened a year before I came into the mountains, and it gave me no oonctrn whatever. Like any gentleman cl taste, I admired Mrs. McGee, and lelt especi- ally happy when. as it happened some- times, the clerks in the company’s store were busy and Icould wait upon her. It was thus one day that as she entered the store I hopped around behind the counter like a youngster of 20. “ What can 1 do for you to-day, ma'am ?" I said. with a fine bow. “Got any mournin’ goods ?" she in- quired, with a delightful hauteur. “ Anybody dead 7" I asked, forget- ting that it. wasn't my business to be asking questions. “ No," she hesitated, “they ain’t cg- zaokly yit, but I thought I might as well be sorter looking ’rouud." “What do you want to see particu- larly ?" I inquired, very curious to know what she was after. ” I reckon I might as well see the . whole shootin' match. fer of I want part I'll be wantin' all thar is.” I threw dowu two or three pieces of mourning stuff, and piled black ribbon and all the other habiliments of woe in the shop down alongside. " Them’s right nice,” she said, after taking a good look at the display, “but I ain't quite ready to take anythin’ yit. You see, it’s this a way, Colonel. Last night Bill and Jim bad words kase Jim helped me acrost the footlog comin’ from meetin', and this mornin' Bill took his gun and went huntin’ for Jim. You know Bill and you know Jim, Colonel, and of they run acrost each other you know what's goin’ to happen. Thor's a chance that they won’t meet up with each other, and I reckon I’d better wait.” Probably it might be better,” I ven- turcd. “ I reckon it Would,” she concluded. moving slowly toward the door, " but you kin kinder hold back a dress pat tern for three or l'our days, can't you ?"

Inn Fanning two weeks ago we spoke. «i‘ some of the advantages that wouéd .tL‘Cl'Ut: In the Canadian lurmvr if he ltt-id more sin-op. \\'l:at we are con- :t: km p son": rltt't'p; say twenty sheep Nil .'I l untlrrd-ucrc farm. This number lnlv't'l'vflllg with the rotationestablished men’s and boys’ htlp to be hired ; and without neces.~i- titling any dlfilirfiiii crops to be grown other than thuld be grown in any case. or the erection of any lnrm building-S other than those which are usually found. These twr-nty sheep, il'pnr- chased as lambs. would in one year. by the wool they would produce. pay for their own keep and the keep of their lambs. and the lambs they would pro- duce would more than pay for their original cost. Every subsequent year there would be the profit on the sale of the lambs obtained from them. Finally, when it would be necessary to replace an old cm: by a young lamb, the car- cass of the ewe would be worth to the farmer the cost to him of a lamb with which he supplied her place. There is thus to the farmer who keeps these twenty sheep an annual profit of the value of the lambs which he produces and sells. The twenty sheep, we are told by practical sheep raisers, may be safely reckoned on to produce at least twenty-five lambs yearly. There is not only this direct profit, but there is also an indirect profit. The twenty sheep upon a hundred-acre farm would do a great deal towards keeping the farm clear of weeds. Sheep will eat weeds which other stock will not eat. They will go into fence corners and keep them clean when other stock will pass all such places by. They will find food and act as scavengers in and about stone-heaps, stump roots, etc., which cows and horses cannot go near, and which cannot be touched by tho plough They will pick up a good living on pas- tures that cattle have finished. Finally, they will leave the best of manure on every part of the land they cover. We Canadians are exceptionally well favored in our Sheep-breeding. We have no disease in our flocks, nor is there any danger of disease. Our cli- mate is specially adapted to profitable sheep raising. We cannot, it is true, keep our sheep out-of-doors all winter; but. we are compensated for that depri- vation by being able to raise sheep that are hardy, vigorous and free from dis- ease, and that produce the best mutton and the most desirableof wools. We are, also. specially l'uvored in our mur- kets. We not only have, as we said in Forming two weeks ago. our own mar- ket and the British tnarket. but we have also the American market; and this latter market, despite the duty we have to pay to get there, is by no means an unimportant one. There is one branch of profitable sheep-breeding which our proximity to the American market gives as ho especial advantage in; that is, the raising of rum-lambs l'or use on the western ranches. The western American ranchers frequently have flocks of‘ from 5.000 to 10.000 owes each. The rams used in these flocks are rarely pure-bred; what are used are. high-bred grades of any good mutton and wool producing breedâ€" the breeds most commonly used being our own standard breeds, the Cotswold, Lt-iccster. Shropshire,0xl'ord and South- down. When a rancher wants to buy lambs at all he will buy from one hun- dred to three hundrod ata time. He will, indeed. rarely buy less than 150. lilo comes to a district where sheep are bred. and, going about, picks up what he wants. Of course he likes to get his lambs (or yearlings, as the case may be) as near together as possible, so as to save expense. And he likes to get them of as nearly a uniform type as possible. Now. here is a branch of the business that we in Canada. have not got worked up, or taken advantage of. But that at these low prices : $8, for $5.50. Every one of these is A SNAP. 7 50. a suit.
