Demand for Feeders.

Live Stock World The demand for
feeding sheep HIS developed earlier than
aiual tiis Summer. ordinarily this de-
mafd DOES rot begin TO appear in any
considerable volume before the middle of
August and does moi reach its food tide
volume earlier than The latter weeks in
September. Eut this year the range
sheep began coming earlier than usual,
pasturage in the corn and feeding states
is abundant money is easy and with
sheep prices getting down 20 a cheap
basis there is an early trade in feeders
that is affording at least an outlet for
sheep though prices are unsatisfactory to
the western men who are the sellers. If
this volume of sheep going to the coun-
try is to increase correspondingly with
other years there will surely be an enor-
nous number Of sheep on feed for the
winter and next spring markets.
