Notice to WOoIgr0Wers.

I have recently brought into this state
from Washington. one Of the oldest and
best bands Of thoroughbred French
Merino sheep in the west, and it is my
intention to stay here and raise the best
all-round wool and mutton sheep suit
able for the western ranges. [ have On
hand about $50 choice yearling bucks,
which / offer for sale at very reasonable
prices. These bucks are the largest in
the west, have all been raised on the com
NOR range, are good r~ustlers and viii
keep in good flesh where common sheep
will. They have never been pampered
and will shear a fleece, that for length Of
staple and ~ineness of fibre cannot be
~equalIed. This band mas been owned by
me for years, has nover had scab OF other
contagious disease, and the sheep have
all been thoroughly dipped twice since
coming into Montana. Address
