the growers. backed up by the protect
i've tariff, and, moreover, paralyzed by
the shortsighted refusal of the country
at large to recognize the increased val.
ues necessarily existing in products
made from higher-priced wool. Never
before in the history of the United
States have such enormous quantities
of cotton and shoddy been used by
WOODEN manufacturers as during the
past few years, being driven to this
course by the impossibility Of getting a
price for a pure wooden article COM
mensurate with the price demanded for
wool. 1t Is easy to see now that the
wool growers Of the country made q
mistake in advancing their prices too
rapidly. as the result was the opposite
Of what was desired, driving manufac-
turers to the S Of other materials.
1t is a positive fact that the bulk Of
the 1898 clip was either sold by the
wool buyer to the manufacturer Mt a
loss, or manufactured by the manu-
facturer at n loss; or, if SEM East on
consignment, the loss in value as CON-
pared with last year. has either been
accepted and the wool sold, or it is still

SHEEP,

For the past two years there has
been in most parts Of the state an un-
usual demand for them; hundreds have
been engaged in the business; thou
sands Of head have been shipped in:
prices are high; but the demand 10
still unsatisfied. The fact that the as
SCISSORS returns show sheep to have in.
creased in number $50 per CEN in two
years, while horses, during the same
period, increased but % per cent and
cattle 50 per cent, affords scme idea Of
the attention given to sheep. It is only
during the past two or three years that
the people of the state at large have
begun to realize that North Dakota IL
naturally n Of the best sheep states
in the Union, and that the business is
very profitable and gives quick returns
for investment. It must be said, how
ever, that there Is some danger Of car
rying the demand to e~xcess-not that
there is any possibility Of North Dakota
raising too many sheep or too much
rather that the farmers may
grow so eager for sheep that they will
pay too high prices for them, and en-.
gage in the business extensively with
out til proper experience or knowledge

successfully, like most other lines Of
business requires some special knowl-

"Of an ordinary year very little. It
