SHEEP FOR
THE VALLEY
FARMS
!. w. Scott Purchases Thou
sand Head-Other Own
ers of Big Flocks

John w. Scott Of Gilby returned
this morning from South st. Paul,
where he purchased 1000 head OF
sheep which he will Craze on his big
farm. Mr. Scott has given the mat
ter Of sheep Investment careful con.
sideration AMI has become convinced
that they are an essential feature OF
improved farming. because OF their
ability to thrive on what would 9TH
erwise he waste material. as we'll as
their ability to destroy many of the
noxious weeds and other growths on
the farm.
A large number Of other progress
sive farmers In the valley are invest
ing in large f1ocks of sheep for the
same reasons that have induced Mr..
Scott to do SO. Among those who
either now have or expect to procure
focks for winter feeding are the Elk
Valley farm and A. c. Stonehouse of
or E. Y. Sarles. Clark palyrmple and
William Van Steinwher Of Hillsboro.
and j. D.. Bacon. proprietor of the
Lilac Hedge farm near this city. who
already has a flock Of about 500.
The indications are that with the
diversifcation which has taken such
a firm hold in the valley the flocks
of sheep will increase rapidly and that
in a short time nearly every farmer
will consider sheep as n big feature
in his system Of rotation and DIVERSE
fication.
The formers mentioned above are
