DR.. H. A. Davis has sold his horse,
Pat Taylor, to MI. Thurston of Wibaux.
T. L. Beard of this city will feed a
large number of sheep for market in
South St. Paul this season. Mr.. Beard
has sheep at his farm in the valley
which are being taken off stubble for
the feed lots, and a band of Great Falls,
Montana, sheep which he put IN stubble
early in the fall and which will also be
fed for market later in the season. For
some years MIR. Beard has made a prac-
tice of grazing sheep on stubble and
finishing them for market in the feed
lots, and he has been very successful.
H. c. Miethe got 1870 for his cattle.
There was some hustling on Sunday
to hold cars for the cattle which were
on hand for loading. If the owners
could not have loaded then they would
probably have turned back.
For Thursday and Friday of this week
i've cars of stock were to be loaded at
Belfeld. Andy Shipley was to load 3
cars at Dickinson and billiard 4 Merry
we're to load q cars of sheep. This
about winds up the beef and mutton
shipments of the season.
If the whole world is not short Of
sheep, statistics are all awry. A well
informed New Zealand correspondent
writing to a Glasgow commercial paper
of high standing, says that the principal
item of interest which has cropped up
was the recording of the continued fall.
ing off of the sheep focks of that colony
during the past yea The decrease
amounts to some 673,747 sheep as com
pared with the previous year, and
2,o6l,o21 as compared with the year
before last. The number of sheep in
the colony now stands at 1~S,28o,537;
which is the lowest number touched
within the last 10 years. With the
United States, South Africa, Great
Britain, Australia and New Zealand
complaining of a shortage of sheep the
statistical position of both wool and
mutton looks stronger daily.
The Billings County Republican
Billings county has undoubtedly sent
the best individual grass fed steer to
the market that has gone in this year.
This steer belonged to w. c. Coils.
The Chicago weight was ITO, and he
sold for s5.35 making the gross receipts
| SOFAS. Mr. Coils sent down only one

better.
