not stand unusually cold weather. ac-

of j. E. Van Duesen. of Emmett. one

is followed by dry summer, and these
two conditions are added to by an ex-

exact condition that the sheepmen all
over the West have been forced to face
during the past year, and our sheep are
not In the proper condition now to
withstand severe winter" declared
Mr.. Van Duesen.
SHOULD we have winter which COM
pares with last winter the loss will be
tremendous. Sheep will have to be
fed for about three months this win
