People all over the country began
eating mutton instead of beef. AS q
consequence the sheep diminished rapid
~ and Fred P. Johnson says that
government reports show a decrease
OF 10000, 600, head in the past SIX
years.
The continued droughts in Australia,
causing the sheep to die off like flies
in winter, also added to the snort
age.
in San Luis valley alone there
were 5000 lambs, said Fred John
son. "The contractors have already
started out, instead of waiting until
autumn, as they usually do.
THE northern part of the state has
made immense gains because of the
raise in prices. The effect is seen
around LOngmont. Berthaud, Love-
land, Eaton, Fort Collins, Windsor and
Greeley. In former years The men
there had TO borrow money outside
TO carry on their business. This year
the district finances it's own deals.
Every farmer owns his own place and
has money in the bank.
For a poor man the sheep bust
ness is the greatest business on earth.
The PERCENTAGE of gain is greater than
in almost any other business"

STOCK
Sheep Raising.

Colorado sheep raisers are roll.
ing in money. says a Denver paper.
They are trying to supply the great
demand for wool created by the manu-.
facturers of the country. During
this season the sheep men of the state
have mao more than $4,000, 900. The
situation is Unprecedented. There is
a shortage of wool the world over.
The wool crop in Australia has been
a failure for many years. Prices have
risen to the top notch and the wool
men OF the state are getting as high
as % cents a pound for wool thai
last year Melted them IA cents a
pound.
Greeley potatoes and beet sugar
pulp are being used TO feed sheep.
The Colorado potato crop last year
was a failure. In point of product
it was The greatest ever grown in the
state, but there was no market for
the crop. Ruin was staring many of
the potato growers in The face when
a Greeley genius hit upon the idea Of
feeding the potatoes TO sheep. That
saved the day for the farmers.
There is no limit to the sheep in
dustry. 1t is impossible 70 supply the
demand for wool, and as long as the
people of the civilized nations continue
to wear clothes made Of such material,
the demand will continue.
AS example of the shortage is evil
denced by the haste of the mannfac-
turers' agents in contracting for this
years supply and are waiting for the
clipping. AS soon as the shearing is
done the wool is rushed TO the east
ern factories and made into clothing.
Prices Smash Record.
For the last few years the price OF
wool ranged as follows:
1905, from Is cents to %.
1904, from IA cents 10 15.'
1908, from 10 IL cents to IA IL.
. 1902. from IL IL cents to 1872. :.
The best year, prior to this season,
was in 1888, when the price of wool
was about 20 cents a pound.
One of the causes of the wool shGit-
age is the raise in the price nj beef.

insect when walking over rough

sight. When ii climbs perpen-
dicular wall or walks upside down

And noticed that 1t gave
