Lake County Firm Begin Job Of Shearing 3,000 Head of Sheep.

Crown Point Star. John Brown & Son will start sheep shearing on a flock of 3,000 next week with two professional shearers who use a gasoline engine for power, and each one is supposed to finish 150 per day, while 40 was a good day’s work the old-fashioned way for one man They are also stocking their ranch with young mules and have nine yearlings and two-year-olds to start with, and expect in a few months to furnish all of the Kankakee country with vocal music. All mules are singers, especially when it is time for feeding.
