approximately 100000 0 sheep in this
state. This is enough, considering
the amount OF range. But the tnlng
the sheep owners r to pay attention
to is the fattening of their own sheep.
At the present time they are shipped
TO the market. sold 10 feeders who rat
ten them and then again sell them at
a good profit. This second proht on
the sheep, the professor said, should
be kept by the Montana sheep grow
er.
To the cattle raiser, the speaker
said that an effort should be made TO
improve his stock. The maximum
number of cattle in this state has not
yet been reached, but 1t is not mum
hers, but quality, which should most
concern the beef raisers at the pres
ent time. Reverting the question of
sheep feeding, the lecturer said that
experiments at the agricultural sta
ton has proven that Montana lambs
properly fed on Montana feed will
command the highest price on the
market. To the men who spend theil
lives toward the lettering OF a certain
class OF stock the speaker paid a most
glowing tribute. His excellent talk
was concluded with a description of
the work being done at the state ag.

The last speaker of the evening to
be introduced was Prof. Elrod. He
is perhaps the best known scientific
man in the state and his lecture of

tains OF the western part of the state
and illustrated his lecture with about
ninety stereopticon views made from
photographs taken by himself. The
beauty of the woodland, mountain and
lake views thrown upon the canvas

The fair bride was charming in
the simple white wedding suit.
She carried a dainty bouquet of
white hyacinths and maiden hair
fern, while wreath of hyacinths
was worn in her hair. The
bride and groom entered the par
lor together and advanced to the
center Of the room where they
stood under an arch of green,
while the ceremony was very i'm
pressively performed by Rev.
Robt. Kerr. ..
Mr.. Wilcox is a young man of
many sterling qualities and is in
every way worthy of his lovely
bride, who is admired by a large
circle of friends for her gentle
and modest nature and strong
christian character.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilcox left
left on Thursday morning for
Florida where they will spend
several weeks and then return to
make their home at Mystic, where
Mr.. Wilcox is an enterprising

of the young couple was evil
denced by the many presents re-
ceived. Their friends wish for
them much happiness.
The Enterprise takes a pecu-
liar pleasure in wishing them a
happy married life.
