PROFIT IN SHEEP.
Feeder Sheep and Lambs Are
Now Cheap.
GOOD MONEY IN PROSPECT
A seft-Evldent Proposition.

Good growing stock OF any kind that
Ii selling below the cost OF production
II always n safe investment, II tho
purchaser Is prepared to take good
care Of Il.
He who buys and develops such
stock Is almost certain to make a
good profit In doing SO. because pro-
duction will not long continue at q
loss. while consumption OF staplea
must go on steadily.
Not many others arc buying such
stock. or else II would not be- selling
SO cheaply. and It follows logically
and consistently that when It has
been grown and finished for market.
there will then DO . comparative
scarcity OF such finished stock and
such good prices will be realized for It
that handsome proflt will result from
tho deal
This reasoning II self-evident, and
applies with especial emphasis to the
present situation In feeder sheep and
lambs.
Last years conditions arc now 70
versed. Then nearly everybody was
crazy to feed sheep and lambs. and
an immense number were sold and
shipped to tho country at about the
highest prices on record. This to-
gethcr with an enormous corn crop
OF high feeding value. q world OF
perfectly cured roughage and a splen-
did winter feeding season were fac
tors that combined to produce a heavy
supply OF fat sheep and lambs for
market during the early part OF this
year. while retailers OF meats held
up prices to consumers, SO that con-
sumption was limited, with the nat
ural and logical result OF low prices
and feeders losses In most instances.
In consequence Of last years un.
profitable experience and present
scarcity OF grass and hay. most farr,.
ers and many professional feeders OF
sheep and lambs are now avoiding the
market. and very few are being ship
ped to the country. while prices ars
the lowest since 1904. In fact. feed.
er sheep and lambs are selling on tho
market today for less than the coz. of
production
These facts mean that early next
year there will be a scarcity OF fat
sheep and lambs at market, and com.
paratively high prices will prevail.
Those who have the nerve to 20 corr
trary to the crowd and invest I'm good.
thin but thrifty feeder sheep and
lambs at the present low price, will
have no cause to regret their enterpris.
Ing independence when they come to
market them In finished condition.
The concensus OF opinion of the
best minds In the trade Is that since
both prices for feeding stock and pros
poets for fat stock are much better
than they were last year. therefore the
opportunities for profit are CORE
spondingly better. In fact, the whole
situation Is the reverse OF last year.
Now is the time to buy. because
range conditions are such that most
OF the sheep and lambs will come to
market from the range regions ready
for slaughter. while fewer OF the feed
er classes will be marketed during the
remainder OF this year, and the supply

This is the month in which George

England and Emperor of India and
be it known that the browning of
king is no mere tea party. .-.....-
There will be ceremonies and
entertainments and a great display
of mediaeval pageantry,' the total cost
of which will set Mr.. J. Bull back
about million and a quarter dol
lars, the items of expense being made
up approximately as follows:
Sumptuary allowance (for enter
tainment Of royal visitors $3.50, 900.
Entertainment of Indian princes, etc
$330,0OO. Colonial Office (for enter
tainment, etc) $65,0O0. Admiralty

UNDESIRABLE CITIZENS.

Of all the undesirable citizens
the one we have in mind is the
most undesirable. He not only in
terferes with every body's business
but actually spreads poison through
out the community and he can just
ly and truthfully be charged with
never ending death and suffering.
So vicious is he that it is not only
a duty but a pleasure to the mild
est hammered to resort to capital
punishment whenever the culprit
or any of his family can be caught.
His guilt has been proven by jury
of experts and the price of health
is upon his head.
We refer to poison-footed Mr.. Fly.
And to substantiate our accusations
we herewith quote regarding one Of
the meanest of the species from E.
L. Washburn, state entomologist:
"This fly, called Typhoid Fly on
account of it's being known as car
rier of typhoid germs, is one of the
f1lthiest insects with which we have
to contend. 1t also carries the germs
of tuberculosis and other diseases,
and is aamenace to the health OF the
family.
'It breeds in fresh horse-manure
and other filth, hence, when the
stable is near the house, fliesaare apt
to be more numerous. Use screens
on the windows; resort to the use
Of sticky fly paper; keep garbage
pals and priyy vaults securely clos
ed; If possible. keep stable manure
covered. rs
"Some farmers wives hang
sticky fly paper. sticky side out, on
the outside Of their screen doors, at
the top; which in warm weather,
catches flies which gather there.
