very evident from various uumi-takable in

will show a considerable increase over that
Of 1889. Wool grover, last season, with
few exceptions. received satisfactory prices
for their product and have been stimulated

in the belief that fine washed fleece at 80
cents per pound was, after all, about as
profitable as any farm product they could
turn of. The Reporter thinks that with

overdone sheep must now have their day a.,
and the time appears opportune for farm
ers to direct their energies 10 the eradlca-
ton OF the expensive errors Of the past,
and thus give fuller sweep TO the pOssibili-
ties Of the future
These facts have been emphasized at re-
cent meetings Of the state board Of agri
culture where the sheep question has come
up for discussion. Addison county farmers
are giving more attention to sheep, and

greater premiums than ever before IN its
