A Oinoiimati Lady's ' Observa
tions on a
Sheep Farm ,
Immense Block of Grazing
Laud Owned by Mr. John
W. Bookwoltor.
null the Ilorilcrs--Shoni-
iMirt Stilting tlio
\\'o nro indebted to a known Gin-
cinnnti lady , who linn spout n portion
of tlio summer in Nebraska sucking
health in the pure , clastic iiir , golden
nronmtic days nnd dew-less nights of
"
thnt favored" region , for some details
of ivxnches and t-.tnch lifo that tuny not
bo uninteresting to the general reader.
The general reader hns very generally ,
nt Buinu tinio or other in his lifo ,
sighed for his own vine or fig tree ,
nnd. thrilled with thu importance of n
landed proprietor , hns marked on his
pocket map , us did the great Kmpuror
Nicholas , the lir.o of hia famous vail-
wny , the limits of somopossible- home
stead in the boundless west , wlioro ho
might live out his lifo n lord ot the
soil and number his cattle on n thou
sand hills - upon a thousand hoofs
would bo moro accurate statically , but
loss Scripturally , so let it stand.
Nebraska forms the lowest eastern
grass-clothed slope of the Rockiesmid
the Artckotn Ranch lies in its oxtrcmo.
southeastern border a glorious region -
gion of billowy prairies , green seas
that stretch nway in a. boundless expanse -
panso of velvet turf , broken hero and
there by dotted clusters of the cottonwood -
wood , the emerald turf Hushing nine-
alryst , with the blooms of heartsease
and milkweed , or a yellow mist of
sunflower and golden rod. On these
flowers feed the wild bees and make
again the true honey of hybia , as aromatic
matic as the fabled product of the
Meditternncan. Over all the 'clouds
make a play of shadows , nnd the Ar-
teketa v inds in and out of its its miles
of shaded banks. TJicso velvet plains
form ono great cattle range that
Btrotchos away across the Platte and
the splendid valleys of 'tho Loup
country to Montana and the great
northwest.
The ranch ranch , by tlio way , is a
variation of the Spanish rancho , a
farm on which this lady was a guest
was the princely possesion of John
W. Bookwalter , tho.present candidate
for gubernatorial honors in Ohio. It
is located in Mission creek , Pawnee
county , Nob.j Jifteon miles from the
Kansas bordcrj and embraces 20.000
of the choicest acres of the bust part
of the great food bolt of the continent ,
which lies between the 40th and 42d
parallels. Ton miles from its western
boundary lies the Otoo reservation ,
where still lingers a handful of this
ojd branch of the great Dakotas , and
who will , in October next , tumble
their tepees , and takothu trail for the
Indian Territory. A well wooded
stream called the Artokota , after the
hereditary chief of the Otoes , flows
through the great ranch , which also
preserves in its name that of this clsu
forgotten chief.
The mansion house of the ranch is
ono of those patent structures built
in sections and transported nil ready
to bo put up. It is nn nlTair of eight
not large , but comfortable , rooms , and
which by no means limit the hospital
ity of the master of the liouso , which
ia something worthy and unpar
alleled.
Tha Bopkwaltor ranch is devoted to
stock-raising , the flocks numbering $
13,000 slice ] ) , cared for on seven min
or ranches , located in different parts
of the estate , oacli in charge of a to
herder. Cattle and not sheep are in
digenous to the far "West , and so the
sheep ranchers have adopted the
'iroseology of the cattle men. Their
flocks are herds , their shepherds are
herders , and their sheep-folds are
corrals.
THE HEHUEHH.
At each of the uovon ranches which rm
dot the Artckota ranch' is a Ilock of
jjf
1,500 sheep in charge of a herder. Six
sheds , each 100 feet long , are erected pi.mi
shelter the flock from the winter mi
Ai
storms , and a corral is provided it : In
which to shelter the sheep at nigfct.
The herder is given a pony and sad lit no
dle and a sheep dog , and furnished a tic
comfortable ona-room house provided
with the requisites for his simple mu
housekeeping. Hero ho lives a quiet ly tin
and pastoral life , which in the lan ric
guage of the much is called "back
fac
ing. " In the morning , ahraysmountcd tie
takes Ilia flocks afield to the grazing
foi
ing ground , lariats his sturdy little
Indian pony , nnd then pipes his lute , the
nnd invites his soul and loafs ? Not
, the herder is a man of affairs , alert riu
oil
and watchful for all that may peril his
tw
flock. Ho scents the wolf afar , singles
out the ailing owe , examines the hoofs na
of
the lagging lamb , is learned in ofu
ftnako bite cure , nnd can road you ; u
softly all the remedies for scab and oa
kindred evils while the well trained pic
collie keeps the flock from starving. day
bn
At nightfall the peculiar cry of the
vals
herder and the
sharp bark of the
collie float over the pmirio as they are
"bunch" that is air
, gather together the
flock for the corral. BW
Hero tlio sheep aoon Bcttlo into n\ \
quiet , unbroken sleep'until morning. ' ,
Occasionally a wolf gets into the fold. ,01
The first intimation of trouble is the m
bleat of the etricken lamb and tlio
quick trampling of 00,000 little hoofs call
sound qnito indescribable , like the
rushing of winds and the pattering of
1,000,000 falling leaves , but ones
heard never to bo forogotton , The
slieop-doi. and herder , whoso vigilance of
should have kept out ( ho intruder , the
soon expel him , and the flock sink at by
once into quiet. the
The herder is no little "boy blue , "
a veteran of the bushwhacking
typo , clad in a broad checked woolen
shirt and trousers , high boots , and
broad sombrero of light felt , occasion
ally. Jio is an eastern lad , "learning ing
ropes. " Tlio herder is paid 828 n
month , nnd-flnds his own food nnd
black coffee , bacon and dubious bread the
Drilling the staple articles of diet. and
Artokota , as the flocks iucreauo ,
herder has n flock intrusted to
on a difleront basis. Ho receives .
wages , but half the incruuuo ia hia
half the clip of wool , and iio in i tlio
provided with n horse , dog , house and 'first
sheds , na per other arrangement.
This naturally secures the moat faith ,
ful nnd olllcient service , for a man the
world over , by a pen-orally or instinct
of nnturn ; careth best for his own
Inmbs. The second year the
herder has his own ( lock , the
increase- being fully 100 per
cent , nnd then ho is "no man's man , '
but the high road to competence lies
open before him. Ono of the pels of
Artokotn in a hiih-bred Scotch sheep
dog , Peggy. She takes out the mansion -
sion house flock to the praising ground
in the morning , nnd coiues in to ro-
povt its safety nt noon. At ( i o'clock
shogoos nut nnd "bunches" the sheep
nnd sees the Innt ono in thn corral.
Then she visits the family , demands
the ! approval of thu household , nud
goes out to piny The stentlitst of
matrons till her Ilock is folded , xho
then in n moment becomes ono of the
most , frisky nnd impudent of pupnics.
Oddly enough , she wns never trained
to these duties , but is n born herder ,
inheriting from her mother , nn im
portant Scotch collie , the accumulated
knowledge of n famous race of sheep
dogs.
HHK.UUXO
is ono of the interesting sights of the
early summer. Sheep shearing is now
: i regular business in the southwest ,
and there tire men who do little else
for a living. They stroll in bands
hunting sheep to shear ; they go from
ranch to ranch , their free nomadic
lifu possessing a peculiar fascination.
They cut a fleece with marvelous
rapidity. The sheep is first washed
in the pool , and before she hns recov
ered from her surprise Uio shearer has
her ncross his knee nnd her tumbled
fleeces Ho in n woolly heap at his feet.
The cost of Bhcarinif is from U to 8
cents a flocco. The" wool is baled
much tl.o same as cotton is picked ,
nnd is then stored in the wool houso.
When the whole clip is in it is then
sent to the ensrorn market. The
Artckota wool , a iinogrado of merino ,

HAYI.NU.
Haymaking upon the ranch is an
other of the midsummer sights. The
wild grasses are doliciotisly fragrant ,
and lea and upland brcatho incense
foiMinlus around. T.'io ' entire harvest
of the hay crop on the Bookwalter
rnnco is in charge of a eity.brcd young
man , 23 years old , who , two years
ago , was a clerk in San Francisco.
Twenty thousand tons of hay nro cut
and stored in thu season , being stock
ed in ricks of from twenty to thirty
tons. All the work is done by the
most approved machinery , and oven
then a force of fifty man is required.
To KCO ten mowers follwing one after
the other over the velvet prairie is as
line n sight in its way as n review of
thu Four in Hand Club. Even the
stacking of the hay in ricks is done by
machinery. To see the great sweeps ,
like some hungry monster , grasp n
hundred pounds of hay in its teeth
and then sweep through the air , pack
it , nnd then return for another mouth a
ful of half a ton or so , is ono of the
most uncanny sights in ranch life , nnd
fills the granger with delight.
Haying and grain raising for the
winter feed is also conducted on
shares , the same na the Jicrding , u
certain proportion coming to the
ranch by right , and the ranch owner
buying at market rates the farmer's
share , so that ho realizes a cash vnluo
for his labor. Several farms of fifty
acres are already broken u ; < ontho ,
ranch , and each year adds to the
number.
These are some of the realities of
ranching , though wo have omitted to
name one of the plcasantost the re
ward which sweetens labor the prof
its. These are variously estimated ,
after deducting every expense , to bo
from 40 to 75 per cent per annum
upon the amount invested. With
$500 or $1,000 in hand a suitable herd
can bo ) started nnd ranch provided.
The young shoop-grower would have
lay out of his money about
eight months from the time of
buying his herd ; then the wool clip
would provide him with sufficient
funds for nil his wants until another
clip came in. Meanwhile his herd in
creased the natural increase being in
the neighborhood of 80 per cent , and ,
barring accident , ho has laid the
foundation for a "sheep bonanza. "
The delights and romance of much
life are inexhaustible. Fancy the
pleasure . in making the circuit of forty
miles , which form the boundary of
Artckcta rnnchwoll mounted on a little
Indian pony , whoso unshod foot leave
mark upon the velvet tuif. Those "
little beasts shy nt the least provoca
tion , nnd a rather nunt seat in the
saddle is desirable nr the rider is like
to execute a semi-circular transit
through the air , followed by a kind of
riochcting movements along thu sur
face of the ground , which is UIKJIICH- .
tionably diverting to all but the per
former.
The lira guards and swallowa strike <
. stranger's eyes especially , Each
quarter suction is divided from the
other by n space of plowed ground I ,
twenty feet wide , which , under ordi
nary circumstances , stops the course
the frequent prairie fires. These-
guards in the
llookivalter ranch are
each < six miles long , thu team that
plow& them making but ttvo furrows a
' , ono up and one down. Those ict
brown ribbons , laid in regular inter
across the green velvet carpet , ill
very striking , and their use is very
strikingly illustrated when thu flames ;
sweep over the prairie , the snake-like
tongues of fire darting across the
crimson hoavonu from horizon to
zenith , but stopped short by these
magic boundaries.
The sloughs ( "slows , " the natives
them ) , the "dips" between the
rolling billows of the prairie are little
ponds , Bomu but a few feet deep , and
others thirty feet or more. Jinny of
thuso ponds scorn ( o have grown out
"buffalo wallows , " a term used on
prairies to dcaignniu a sink mudq
the buffaloes pawing thu earth for
purpose of obtaining n smooth ,
dusty surfnpo to roll upon. Tlipso
form channels for the descending To
rains , and in years thu channels are
worn down until veins of lasting
water ore opened and constant flow for
streams established. A chain of
dozen of the wallows full of llsh , Ohio
fringed by rich graces high as
pony'u back , are not uncommon , Sf.
are thu watering places for the em
herds.
( low
To "salt" the shcop and make the
.Acquaintance ) of "Old Hurricane , " a hou
splendid thorough bred Spanish ram ,
pride of the ranch , are two of the
duties of thu guest at Arteketu.
The Indies especially are very desir
ous to salt the dear little things just
onco. They tnko a fist full of salt- ,
nnd with many melodious coos call
thu sheep. As soon no the perfume
of thu salt reaches them the whole
herd mnkcs n "dend break" for it.
The author of thu trouble stands it
for about two seconds' , nnd then , fear-
iug she will herself bu mistaken for a
veritable "Lol'n wife" and devoured
bodily , throws up her hands nnd yells
for n rescue. Thereafter when she
"salts sheep" it is in the guise of
mutton at the festive board of the
mansion house.
No such moonlight shines the world
over , it is said , ns Hoods thcao west
ern prairies , and their sunsets , the
whole western sky reflecting n glow
ing mirage in the eastern heavens ,
have bafllcd thu descriptive phrases of
the poets. Mr. Itookwalter , who has
drawn n good many of the jiri/.es of
life , values hia western possessions
( he owns , besides Artokota , 20,000
acres in the Lotip country ) above all
others. He holds the most enthusi
astic hopes of the future of thu trans-
Missouri country , and entertains
m\pnilicent : plans for its future de
velopment. His friondn have always
regarded his interest in the western
country ns n kind of insanity. A good
many people regard a rich man who
has any thoughts or uspiratio"a be
yond sitting like Atropos , nnd for
ever clipping coupons as she cuts the
thrend of lifu , ns
MM ! ami n fool , my miutcrti , inrul ami n fool.
This madness hns in it , however ,
thu method to make ranching n hand
some paying business investment ,
llo appears to possess the enviable
faculty of. surrounding himself by
people ndaped tti carrying out his
plans , nnd ho recognizes , in the most
liberal fashion , their success in doing
it. Mr. C. A. llibbert , the gentleman
in chnrgo of Artokota. much , nnd Mr.
IJookwnllor's partner in the sheep-
ranching , is n Boston mnn , who has
spout eighteen years of his life in
South America , ton years of it as a
wool merchant in IJuenoa Ayrcs , and
eight years in the interior of the
sheep ranches. Ho naturally knows
n few points about sheep , nnd is bu
sides a cultured nnd elegant gonllo-
mnn. His wife wns Miss. Wade , of
Minnesota , a lady not yet 00 , who nt
the ago of 211 wns at the head of the
schools of the Argentine Confedera
tion. Both posacsH brilliant social
qualifies that , far from being lost in
the frontiur , mnko the mansion house
nt Artokota a plnco of pilgrimage for
friend nnd stranger whom the fame of
it has reached.
In cattle , nnd sheep raising , moro
than nny other industry , lies the great
wealth of the future , for it is live
stock the civilized world wants ; in it
the farmer finds wealth , nnd the mar
ket open to him is ns wide as the civ
ilised world. Fancy , too , the ndded
delight of living in a climntu which
develops every wholesome fiber of the
body , mul where a buckskin rig nnd n
soft felt hat , "roared up in fiont , "
ia full dress in the best society.
This ranch life , if half what is told
of it bo true , is what the old Greeks
prefigured whan they made the myth
about exhausted Hercules renewing
his strength nt the touch of earth's
mother the charm for the modern
Hercules lies in either the shepherd's
crook or in the lariat of the cattle
rancher.
