"A Fact Which Many Otherwise Sensible
Men Overlook.
An individual has a desire to go into
thes sheep business and he knows moth
ing about it. He has money: lots of it;
more money than he has experience in
the sheep business. He is not contented
with a few good sheep, but must have
large flock or none He does not be-
lieve in investing by halves. He buys
a lot of sheep-fve hundred or more
places them on his farms and begins
the sheep business in earnest. He may
or he may not feed plenty of the right
kind of feed. If starvation does not t.
tack the flock, scab does, and the flock
owner is in deep sea as to the manage
ment of the disorder. He listens to all
who offer advice till he is driven to sell
at any price he can get. OF course he
will be compelled to sell at loss. He
goes ont of the sheep business in dis
gust. There are dark sides in all voca-
tions in life. and to know how to steer
clear of them is the art to be studied.
It is safe to buy a few good sheep at q
fair price of some reputable breeder
whether you know anything about
sheep or not. If you are adapted to the
sheep business you will win. II you

IT requires but little time and atten-

ARE you crowding too many chick

permitting chicks under four months
to rooSt other than the floor or

takes.

An Extensive Custom.

Pasturing cattle is>perhaps the most
expensive of all methods, as more land
is required, but it is not an easy matter
to convince farmers of that fact. The
same land, if SO cultivated that the
crops can be fed to the cattle at the

the cost of the labor will be greater,

The crowd gathered early and was
rather email in comparison with former
packed houses. The club membership
swelled it to reasonable proportions and
it was interested but not enthusiastic at
the opening, although the wrestling pro-
voked some excitement. There was
probably 1900 people in the seats. Judge
Anthony Somola was master of cere-

men came into the ring at $50 and very
little time was lost in arranging prelim-
