The spring rodeo ia in progress on the cattle ranges in the Livermore Mountains, says the Livermore Herald. The cattle men are gathered at present at the Hayes place. Next week they will be on the R.

The number of small owners is not as great as in former years, but there will be between twenty- five and thirty-five riders congregated during the rodeo, which will last about two weeks.

It is not because the cattle industry is not profit- able but because the sheep business is more so. With wool selling at from 16 to 18 cents a pound and Bpring lambs selling at $3 each there are few lines of business showing more profit, notwithstanding the chances taken. * Liquid Manure. There is no fertilizer that plants will respond to more speedily than liquid ma- nure. This is especially true in times of drought, as when manure or other fertil- izer is applied in dry weather it is not washed down and absorbed by the roots in season to benefit the crop. While it will not probably be found practical to apply this plant food to large fields, garden crops can be treated with it to very gooi advantage.
