BRINo1Sc SHEEp.-1f the signs Of the
times do rot deceive Us. the sheep, wool and
mutton interests of our State are increasing
rapidly. Almost every day we notice . flock
Of fine sheep passing through our city. which
have been brought from the East and are to
stock some Of our prairie farms 1t is among
the rnoet eensible and profitable enterprises of
the day. There Is more actual profit in q flock
of one hundred good sheep every year than
there ia in two hundred acres Of wheat, and
probably We could say four hundred and not
he far out Of way. The people Of Iowa who
consult their real interests will not fail to zee
that they must get into the way of raising
wool Our facilities are most ample. No ono
denies that then what is the use OF being de.
pendent as people upon the focks Of the
East for our woollea goods. The farmers Of
Iowa can raise wool at a cheaper figure than
it can possibly be raised in the old States.
They can flood the Eastern market with WOOL
and manufacture woollen goods too for that
matter. as we'll as any class Of people living.
But let Us fret get about raising the wool. and
the quicker some of our leading farmers begin
to turn their attention to the matter in ear.
nest, the better it will be for them and the
State at large.
