Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     A letter from D. N. Whipple, Gettysburg, Kan., states that the recent storms in the western part of Kansas have been very severe on the cattle and  sheep in the ranges, and the losses have run from 10 to 125 head on small herds of cattle, and as high as 1000 out of 1500 sheep. The loss in this county alone aggregated about $50,000. Mr. Whipple was lucky in that he had sheds and stables for his stock so he did not lose even a chicken. The thermometer ran down to 24 degrees below zero, and was below zero nearly all the time for three weeks.
