Dispatch: The largest shipment
of sheep ever sent out by Sleepy Eye
feeders, left few days ago when
A. S. Pietrus, VIM. Hillesheim and
VIM. Raverty shipped 1900 head
to Chicago. The shipment took ten
cars and made up special train
from the local yards. The sheep
were in excellent condition and
brought the top market price.
At Winona they are seining carp
and buffalo fish in the Mississippi
river for the Easter market. One
carload is now being shipped. 1t is

Paul visited Bird Island last week
and after investigating conditions
ordered ten horses owned by Livery

be taken out and shot as they were
suffering with CHAMBERS. The veter-
mary then thoroly disinfected the
apartments where they were kept

will be no spread of the disease.

something like $500. This is heroic
treatment but it is the only way the
disease can be stamped out.
