have aiTc:liv sen. consi2nments to
the Twin CITY markets.. and .:!cmhcrs
uf the association have done the same.
but the demand is mcagcv and prices
not at all satisfactory except for lambs.
AS the rates 10 Sioux City were the
same as tD ST. l'aul, ] decided to give
this market IL trial shipment. and | ann
much surprised at the result. Here
after ! shall make it IL pain, To Si y TO
Sioux City aud obtain better prices
than at 81. Paul. and if the market is
Overstnckedi. they will have the added
advantage OF through billing 10 other
points li;e same Us on cattle or hogs.
..And !hcn too. there is no reason
why Sioux CITY should not become !,
supply Duii.J .nr s;ockcrs and feeders
the same as is the cl with cattle. Iii
the mater was taken hold of aud han
died right. thousands OF fee ling sheep
could oe dis, posed of in Sioux 4 ly am

bic than cattle ur hogs. and We .ct
quicker returns from them Instead OF
ien,.iily seven To MN. months as with
cattle, sheep can be turned OH in good
condition after six weeks oi feeding,
The farmers are gradually beginning To
