DR.. Prior, who has large bands of
sheep in the Benton City country, re-
ports the lambing season as nearly
over. From one large flock he saved
an increase of over one hundred and
thirty per cent. He is raising fifty-f

new departure in the sheep business

given away to anyone who would take
them, have become too valuable to be
of in that way. If all flock
follow the example of the
Benton City sheep king, woody pets
will become extremely rare in Kenne-
