THE TALE OF A SHEEP MAN
The Ups and Downs Experienced by Dan Bear
During the Past Six Years.

The following letter was contribut-
ed to the National woolgrowers
Bulletin, of Boston, by Daniel Bean,
OF Grass Range:
81 came to Montana in April, 1892.
The fall of 1892 I paid for 160 head of
ewes, %, So, and As, and ran in debt
for 2s3 old broker mouthed ewes
making a total Of 443.
"These eheep sheared the following
season about six pounds Of wool, for
which / got a fraction over seven
cents per pound. Having lost 43 the
first winter my lambing was poor,
hard storms cutting down the per
cent, and nearly 100 ewes had no
lambs. summered about 6S5. AS
another drawback, my range about
home was burned over by the light
ming, and 1 was obliged to seek
winter quarters elsewhere. Here /
was to put my bunch in with anoth-
er party, but he, being "in the hole"
was foreclosed by the bank, his last
sheep taken from him, and 1 had to
go 1t alone, paying 50 per ton for the
hay which I was Obliged to feed.
1 the spring l sheared again and
got less than $500 for my wool. Then
/ took 700 ewes on equal terms for
two years-divided last fall-sold all
the increase, bought the remainder
of the ewes l had run for two years
$50 at $3.50 per head-bred loo
ewes fall of 1896, raised about 1000
lambs this year, sold them at $1.65
(there were but 300 left). My bunch
OF ewes, about 80 days ago. counted
out 1000 and these l am offered
S3.12h for.
Not being able to buy such bucks
as l desired, had to take such as /
could arrange to own, and l have
always lost heavily on bucks. /
have had a family of Jour during this
time, have paid my herders up
made not an enemy-had plenty to
eat-taken up a ranch and put every
ota of the improvements upon 1t
with my own hands.
SIS the sheep business paying? /
think il is. i came here to make an
even 81 900. 1 have made more than
that, not counting by ranch ut a
dollar"
