see his sheep wagon without wanting to
leave civilisation for a few months and
take to the range.
It Is the most

has ever been devised. For utilising
all possible space It can give lessons
even to a dining car or a sailboat. It

the sheep wagon Is used only to follow
the herd during the winter end spring,
until It disappears up on the high sum
mer range, where only a saddle horse
can penetrate.
The wagon, which tor months Is
thus the home of turn sheep herders,
has e long, narrow body, to give free
dom to the wheels, but above the
wheels It flares out enough to give a
broad room with benches along both
aides. It has three coverings o f can
vas tor greater warmth In winter, and
a stove screwed to the floor near the
front door. The back part o f the can-

Attached to the bed Is a folding table,
and under It are small drawers and a
large bln to contain the border’s sup
