his ranch, from which he got an
average Of eight pounds per head,
and at the price received at this

Mr.. Stanford has a paying business
in keeping those sheep.
He has been handling sheep for
long time. and understands how to
care for them, which possibly ac.-
counts for the success he has enjoyed
in that business.
The people Of the Plains have
learned that stockralsing pays here,

mako their industries pay, success
crowns them in such degree as II
