SHEEP.

Here is where the producer and
feeder has an inning. Unlike that of
beef, the demand for mutton cannot
be met and the supply is 20, 900
short. Sheep are selling now from 81
TO S1.25 higher than they did at this
time last year, while lambs show an
advance of from thirty to forty cents.
Western lambs are selling as high as
$3.50, and there are very few good
ones being offered. as the fattening
season has just begun, There is ev-
cry indication that lambs will go to
the IS mark, while there is no logical
reason why they should go below the
present prices. On account Of the
high price of feeders there will be lit
tie competition from the corn states.
Many of the sheep men of the north
west have already contracted their
1906 wool crop at twenty-five cents,

ed at that price will turn off it's

line across the state of Oregon,
which will open up new territory and

bonds are likely to come from
this source. The Northern Pacific is

the forecasting Of the weather for the

When the bells ring for midnight
mass they scoop out the middles Of
twelve onions, set them in a row on
the kitchen table. Gil them with salt
and name them for the months of the
year. Then when they return from
mass they examine the condition Of the
salt. II 1t has melted in any Of the
months" those months will be rainy:
II the salt remains dry, it indicates
drought; II half melted, the first fort
night of the month will be wet.
The peasants have such implicit faith
In this means Of foretelling the wealth
er that they plant their crops In accord.
