The Aberdeen Daily Pioneer of May 10, |

lex is a guest at the Ward for short time |
while transacting business. Mr.. Joslin has /
been spending several weeks at his sheep /
ranch northwest and will remain there until /
after the shearing season is ended. He will /
begin taking off the deeces about the first of
june and calculates upon satisfactory clip.
When the shearing is ended he will go to /
western Ontario to look after gold mining in
terests he has on Manitou lake and later to /
Montana to look after his sheep interests.
Mr.. Joslin says that the season has been /
most favorable for sheep so far. The grass is /
good and the sheep are doing better than in
most years. In bunch of 1900 ewes there i
has been but very little loss in lambing and /
he has never had so fine lot of grade Shrop-
shires. He is making preparations for fat
tening during the coming season not less
than $1,000 lambs at his feeding yards at New
Brighton, near St. Paul. In the past he has
fed mostly in open pens but finds that the
lambs do better under cover and this year he
viii have sheds to shelter the whole number.
Mr.. Joslin expects to take from 5000 to 1000
lambs from this section to the feeding pens
and the remainder from North Dakota and
Montana.
