A sheep enthusiast was asked to-day,
says the Mandan Pioneer. if he did not
think the men who are going 70 largely
into sheep would suffer loss in the course
Of time. He SAID: 1T is doubtless fact
that there are some people who will lose
money At sheep. They would lose money
at anything. The man who owns sleep
must have some knowledge a. to how to
take care Of them if he. would get the
maximum profit. But. in my judgment,
there is more money Ia sheep just now
than in anything else IN this country.
Morton county might have 500, 900 sheep
and they would not be- overcr0wdsd. II
We had that number I tell you 1t would
make good deal Of difference to Man.
dan. There is nothing, in proportion to
its value, that can be shipped 90 cheaply
as wool. A man who has flock of sheep
begins to make money out Of them IN
eight months after lie has got them. But
the man whs puts his money into cattle
has to wait for three ycara. don't think
there is any danger Of the business being
overdone. There are no signs of it at
present. -
