Nevada is Mutton State

Nevada has suddenly become the cen
ter of supply in the mutton line for CAL
ifornia and the states of the northwest,
according to DIR. Z. E. Murray of the
local animal bureau, who returned yes
terday from trip of inspection in that
state.
DIR. Murray says that Nevada will
send the greater portion of its mutton
crop to the west coast this year instead
of joining in with the usual western
shipments to the big eastern markets.
The sheepmen of that state have about
800, 900 head of lambs and wethers for
the market.
The flocks there are unusually free
from disease, and in every way the
sheepmen appear to have had Il prosper
GUS season. Already they have actually
consigned 100000 head of mutton to
San Francisco dealers and the indica
tions are that the western market will
afford ample room for all the sheep
the Nevada raisers can send.-Salt
