A Sign of Stability
"I am piug into the sheep business
to stay. IHkii it , it suits my farm , and
made n Lad mistake when I let low
jirie'es drive me out. Next time I wil
etay with the sheep if they go down to
where their wool catches fire , for they
will cqrne up again. " This is the senti
ment of one more who has experiment
ed to his satisfaction in various lines
because that for which he and his equip
ment were suited didn't pay. He found so
more than one thing that doesn't pay
sometimes. There are many like him
who are now getting back into the
business they dropped ior something
else that looked better. It is a hopeful
sign. It means a mores stable produc
tion , leen'wholesale "flopping" from
one thine ; to another and fewer over-
ctocked markets. We must expect ups
end downs in all industries , but we
may hope for fewer extremes in the
various lines of agricultural and live
stock production ia the next ten years
than in tha p&it. National Stockman.
