Last week the news spresd over
Fowler thgt 100 sheep were being
unloaded at the stock yards and
were to go to the Oldham ranch.
The report was indeed true as three
double decked car loads came in
Monday and were unloaded as re-
ported. In the droves were 32o
and the rest were spring lambs.
They were shipped from Cuervo,
New Mexico on Saturday being on
the road about fortytwo hours.
Gordon Oldham said they expect
ed to feed them for four months
and then sell them again. Their
bill of fare will be alfalfa, fall wheat
kaffir corn and grass. With this
combination they ought to put on
several pounds of flesh in four
months.
Sheep raising IS a new departure
for the farmers in this section of the
country and this experiment will be
watched with interest. There seems
to be no plausible reason why sheep
won't do as we'll on alfalfa as cattle
and hogs, and if this be the case
this branch of stock raising will be-
gin to receive attention from other
stock men.-Fowler Gazette.
The. above from the Fowler Ga
zette of last week indicates that the
editor is not acquainted all ovel
Meade county. Away back as fal
as 1880 there were more sheep pas
ured in Meade county than there
were cattle. In recent years there
have been more or less sheep. E.

stock raiser living in Meade made
considerable of his wealth raising
sheep. Henry Danks is anothel

We desire the Gazett man to under
stand there are other places of i'm
portance in this country aside from
Fowler and immediate vicinity.
