EuEF1 HE Union Pacific railroad has
discovered a new use for billy
goats and every day at half a
n hundred stock feeding stations
on the line of the big railroad
system, solemn goats with long
white boards act the part Of Judas,
Turing unsuspecting sheep to their
doom. Little did the grave members
of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion think when they made a ruling
that live stock en- route from the great
western ranges to the packing houses
along the Missouri river, should not
be kept aboard railroad trains for
more than % consecutive hours, but
that, at the expiration of that period.
the animals should be taken from the
cars and given water and provender
that the ruling would be responsible
for the creation of a band of goats
trained to ingratiate themselves into
the confidence of innocent little lambs,
matronly ewes and stately rams and
bring these down to their death.
But such is the case. And the Union
Pacific railroad has flock of goats.
each individual member of which
can do better work along the
lines for which 1t is trained than half
a dozen men could do in twice the
time.
When the 28-hour law went into
effect the Union Pacific railroad found
1t necessary to build big feeding yards
at numerous points along its line-in
fact, these yards were installed about
every 25 miles from end to end of the
big system. During the shipping sea
son that railroad brings hundreds OF
thousands of sheep from the great
ranges OF Wyoming, Colorado Utah,
Idaho, Oregon, Montana, California
and the southwestern states to the
packing houses at Omaha. Under the
new law II was necessary that these
sheep be unloaded, fed and watered.
and then reloaded every 2S hours.
Those men who have ever attempt
ed to drive sheep will remember how
difficult the task is, especially to get
the animals headed in the right direc-
ton. "As timid as a sheep IS a
proyerb. and its truth Is proven every
day and every hour wherever sheep
are handled.
