Each cne to worth from 75 cents to $1. With his woo' alone , then , each simeep pays for his keeping and a little more , The profit to lmls owner comes not so much from iifs wool atm from time very large natural yearly increase to iml flock , or band , as they-are called. The sheep is beneficIal not alone to imia owner , btmt also to th herder who , perhaps , has him "on sharcs , ' time simearer , who gets 7 cents for every simeep ho shears ( amid ime can make about $7 a day , for hmo can simear at le.i.ot 100 sheep every day ) , and the owner of the "dip- ping" pen , who is paid cents for every sheep dipped. There Is unlimited free range ( or sheep In time vicinity of Casper. This fact Is a most limiportant one. In many portinne of the west time issue has arisen between time sheep and cattle muon tmnd the farmers of time desira. blilty of free range. In nmany places time farmmmes lmave carried the day and as mm reistmlt a country that was undoubtedly intemmded for a sheep or cattle country is being spoiled for timat ptmrpOso by a vain attempt to make it an agricmmittiral country. here , however , no such vexing ( iuestlemms aris. Aside from the free range there are two very imnpo'tant factors that make time country - try so excelleimt , First , and what is probably - ably of greatest Importance , is time supply cf ater.
