Sheep Items.


Sheep feeders are profiting by the
large supply and low prices and are
buying literally at the Chicago yards.
The drouth in the Northwest has
caused large influx of sheep into
Idaho. which has overcrowGed the
ranges and compelled Large unload

and cattle interests threaten to con-

some method of dividing the public
range.
A new sheep dip. intended for per-
manent use, is being constructed at
the Chicago stock yards. Three years
ago a wooden dip was constructed as
an experiment. It will now be dis
carded. The new. one is Of brick and
is 100 feet in length without curves.
The old one had two bends. and these
