w. w. Phipps, 10 miles northwest of
Dickinson, has had exceptionally good
success with his sheepthe past year. His
lamb crop averages a little better than
100 per cent-all very large and healthy.
One Of his purebred Shropshire lambs at
5 weeks Of age weighed AZ pounds. Mr..
Phipps was in Dickinson the first of the
week and sold his wool at I4Ac, a little
less than he could have taken last week,
but considering the fact that the feeces
of his old sheep averaged a little over
8 lbs. the price is moi so bad. MIR. Phipps
has 20 head of cattle and some horses,
but gives the greater part of his attention
to the sheep industry. Considering the
fact that Mr.. Phipps, who was reared on
a farm, had never seen a stock ranch un-
til about 3 years ago, having for 20 years
been at the head of an eastern business
college, his success in ranehing is almost
phenomenal. His health is now good and
he enjoys his work very much. Mrs.
Phipps also likes ranch life.
Gibbs & Griswold sold about $4,000
pounds of wool the first of the week to
Nichols, Dupee 4 Co. at I4Ac. They

like waiting around longer.

Dave Jutzler and D. Anken are very
loud in their praise of H. c. Quinion's

the highest price that has ever been paid
in North Dakota for a carload lot of draft
horses.
