the southwest, one imported ram, from
the BALM farm in Germany, costing
him $3.50. He also has a lamb which
took the first prize at lie Pueblo, Colo,
state fair, over all comers.
Many sheep are being driven into
northern Lincoln county from various
places in the territory, says the White
Oaks Eagle. The abundance of grass
and water, resulting from the splendid
seasons this year., has caused this tres
pass from other counties of the terri
tory. 1t may result, however, in our
ranges being overstocked and thereby
greatly injuring our own stockmen.

Colorado lamb feeders write tina
they are having an ideal winter on
there for sheep feeding, and the lambs
never looked better at this time OF the
year. As most of the feeders los
money last year they were very par
ticular this season in selecting lambs

lambs to be marketed in the spring
will be of better quality than we hav'
received in several years.
