customary to drive sheep In there be-

but this season has been unusual with
extreme cold and an almost unprece-

must be shipped in where ordinarily

the native grasses. The only thing
thus far to prevent widespread losses
in Steptoe this winter is the failure OF
the deep snow to cake or crust. But
sudden thaw followed by sharp
frost may occur any hour.
