The Clipper says: Sheep shearing II
our Colorado country has now com
menced in goCd earnest and will continue
until all our immense number OF fockl
are shorn of their valuable feeces. Oul
wool this season is cleaner and more
valus ole than 1t has ever been before
Up to Friday 1900 bags Of wool have
come into our market. Our warehouse
men and wool buyers are fully prepared
for the reception of this staple article ant
soon our streets will be filed with hun.
dreds of wagons loaded with wool. Anc
the probability is that Colorado City will
go ahead Of San Antonio this season IL
wo u receipts.
In my opinion, says writer, spay!ns
should be do as early in May as thu
grass will permi. pasturing, and before
hot weather and the fly season set in
Then with 8 skilled man hold OF thu
shears the loss is comparatively nothing
A spayed heifer will make IS fine beef
fatten IS quickly and bring about as goot
8 price as a steer. Range cattlemen ap
preciate this fact and have been beneftinl
their herds accordingly the past season
This process Of spaying will greatly les
sen the increase in the country and cor
respondingly increase the price Of bee
cattle, and st the same time greatly i'm
prove the quality and grade OF the stock
which also tends to an increase Of price
So my advice is to cut and spay every in
ferior animal.
