BUY SHEEP AND

But Don't Be a Sheep.
A COMMON EXPERIENCE.
Don't Follow the Crowd,

Don't Follow the Crowd.
In chasing the market for profit, the
fellows who blindly follow the crowd
are generally the ones who get left.
The successful man buys when he has
the least competition, at the lowest
prices and with the greatest margin
for profit, which usually brings his
selling time during period Of com.
parative scarcity at market, and he
therefore gets higher prices and most
always makes good profit in his
dealings. "A
Here's Chance for Gain.

less than the cost OF production. Of
fers such an opportunity to those who
are prepared to properly care for
them.
Feeders Are Selling Cheap.
Wellbred. thin but thrifty lambs Of
the growing kind can now be bought
on the Chicago market for $5.25 to
$3.50 per 100 pounds; wethers OF sim
liar description. $3.4O to $s.75; year
ling wethers. $4.25 to $3.50; yearling
breeding ewes. $500 to $3.50, and good
feeding ewes at $3.50 to $2.s5. These
prices are about $1.75 lower than q
year ago for feeder lambs, and the
lowest since 1904. Feeder sheep
prices also are unusually low.
Now 10 the Time to Buy.
In view OF the fact that prices Of
feeder sheep and lambs are now be-
low the cost Of production. and that
present prices of lamb and mutton are
out OF line with all other meats and
must therefore soon rise because Of
the increased consumption Invited
thereby, the conclusion is inevitable
that now is the best time to buy feed
err sheep and lambs for all those who
are ready to prepare them for market
during the early part OF next year.
