In answer to this sneer the Fair

of Saline, Gage and Jefferson contain
about thirty thousand sheep. and that
they-the sheep aforesaid-are nearly
all of the finest grades obtainable.
The sheep shesring festivals alluded
to are held under the auspices of the
Southern Nebraska Sheep Breeders

has large membership in the coun-
ties above named, and one of these fes-
tivals will be held at Beatrice on We'd
