User-Contributed Transcription from proceeding. Stock can graze the year round on Uncle Sam's acres free and need only someone to look after them. Sheep must have a Sheperd all the time & a corral in which to fold them at night. I come here for health & think I have found it. I think also I shall enjoy the Stock business. There is but one objection to this country & that is the high winds. They are even stronger than on the Illinois Prairies. Perhaps I shall get used to them. This is a little town on the R.R..
