publican circles in this state and the

sheep raising ON the large Buchanan
farm in this county, the Sank Centre
Herald says:
TOO little attention has been
given to sheep raising in Central Min
nesota in the past, but farmers are
beginning to consider the matter
thoroughly. Those who have had
experience do not hesitate to say
that there is large profit in raising
sheep, and that this climate Is adj
adapted to it. Several farm
ers in this vicinity are giving the
question attention, and the pretiic.
ton is made that within five years
our prairies will be dotted with flocks
Of sheep"
