of feed for the sheep last winter.
caused the sheep to come through the
winter in good shape, and without loss
to speak OF.
Lots of New Money Coming In.
The sale of Idaho's wool this spring
at the excellent prices now prevailing

ensue. Later this season the sheep
men Of Idaho will bring into this state
another good bunch of new outside
money from the sale Of their lambs.
The lambs are doing so well and NUT
ton is such a good price that the sheep
men look forward to a good return from
their sale of lambs.

Cotswold eve lambs and ship the rest
They breed their Cotswold ewes to
Shropshire bucks.
Well Pleased With Forest Service.

Idaho forest reserves and the sheepmen
of this state through their advisory
boards are now working together very
tremendously, and they are having lit
tie or no trouble. He said the forest
rules and regulations and the methods
now employed in the allotting of sheer

business of this state on more per-
manent and satisfactory basis than IL
