2. Kendall, Montana, April 7, 1903 MARITIME SHEEP RANCHES. [lucky Iolanda Off the Coast of statue That Are teed for This Purpose. When an island off the Maine coast Is good for nothing else it is turned into a mariti ..3 sheep ranch, and much money is made in that way, men from other states having invested large sums in the purchase of islands and stock. The sheep are turned loose, and left to get a living as best they can. The islands appear, barren, but the sheep get along very well, and are invariably fat when their owners come with boats to take therit off for slaugh- ter in the fall. On some of the islands there is no water whatever, but the sheep get what moisture they need from the heavy dews, and where grass Is scrubby and scarce the animals cul- tivate a fondness for various kinds of seaweeds, which diet is said to give an excellent flavor to the mutton. A few years ago much complaint was made by well meaning but poorly in- formed persons of the supposed cruelty of leaving sheep to take care of them- selves, without shelter, on these bar- ren, windswept isles, but it has been demonstrated that the sheep suffer no hardship whatever, or they would not thrive as they do. It is related by one man who had several hundreds of sheep on Metinic island that he built, at considerable expense, a warm shel- ter for them, because his wife was con- stantly expressing the fear that the poor sheep would freeze to death on cold nights. The kindly sheep breeder found that not a single one of the ani- mals had taken advantage of the shel- ter provided, in one of the coldest winters that ever blew ót the coast of Maine. Sheep will huddle together where they like, and cannot be induced to go into the sheds built for them on several of the islands. In the fall the island ranchers go off in dories and bring some of the fat- test of the sheep ashore to market, tying their legs together and tossing them into the boats like so many bun- dles, and at the same time new stock Is en rrted to the islands. In the spring a trip is made to get lambs, and the stock is again replenished. • The ex- pense of sheep raising on the islands is small, and the profits are corres- pondingly large. RABBIT -RIDDEN CALIFORNIA, -- -- Partly Due to the Recent Crosse for Belgian Hares and the ( °nu - aural Over-Imporitatloa, -- 7**7 It is reported that tl* importation of Belgian hares in such last numbers threatens California with the same danger which menaced Australia. They are overrunning the whole coun- try to such an alarming extent that a bounty has been offered in some coun- ties for their skins. This is due partly, says the New York Herald, to over -importation and partly to their great fecundity—which, by the wel l •rerslinde one of the small boy, who, frowning over his school task, \wished he was a Belgi4n hare, 'cause he' heard they muliipliekl rapid.' At any rata, they have multiplied too, rapidly for the peace of mind of the California racher whose crops suffer from the constant depredations of the mischievous animals. A way out' of the difficulty might be suggested in a recent statistical report to the effect that millions of rabbits are slaughtered every year in the Brit- ish islands and Australia for their fur, which is used in making felt hats. Tremendous numbers of these skins . are sent yearly to hat manufacturer's In the United States, after first being sent to continental Europe to be plucked of the long hairs which are useless in felt making. This is done by cheap hand labor, competent ma- chinery to perform that *ork remain- ing still in the limbo of the uninveatect. s When the skins finally, arrive here ; they are shaved of their close fur, which then goes to the felt f er. It sure- ly seems as if there must be some economic method of bridging this gulf between so obvious an oversupply and an equally great defnand for the home $ product rabbit skins. Alias Summons.
