EVERYBODY RAISING SHEET, ~,
1t seems that every farmer in WASH
tnRton county has gone to raising sheeD
and neglecting butter, poultry, ersrs
and the like, to n very great extent, and
that's what's the natter" The town
ana village people in that county, there
fore, dislike sheep almost as much MS
John Randolph did, who always went
out of his way to kick one. Promiscu-
GUS trade Is not promoted in the county
Dy It's absorption of agricultural atten-
ton in sheep. 1t would be better ii the
larml1g industry of the county was
more diversified. Farmers all desire to
make living MS easily as possible, lust
as, other people do, and they are 1op-
posed to plowing and narrowing, reap
ing and moving, when they can make
more money by feeding and grazing
sheep. Tho high price of wool for the
last three years has given a new impulse
10 %, the growing of it. and, therefore,
given over to the one branch of 6busi-
ness. i..f,,r .f...gs,i
