in many parts of our city good
work has been done IN the way of cutting
down noxious weeds which encountered
the ground and were shedding seeds for a

kept vigorously at work until the weed
crop is extinct.

and returned this morning with his pro-

j. Mathison, of Oakland, reports the
sale of wool to the amount OF $3.50 and
of sheep $40. Last fall his flock con-
sisted of 235 sheep from which he has
sold the above amount and has now 26O
sheep and lambs. Every fall he selects
from his herd all the old sheep and small
lambs and sells them, believing that 1t
does not pay to winter them and thereby
keeping his flock strong and vigorous.
He thinks that sheep raising pays better
than any other kind Of farming.
The Beaver Dam Argus says that
J. Blanket and wife, of South Beaver Dam,
have a daughter 26 years of age who to
every appearance is a baby six or eight
months of age. She has never grown or
developed since babyhood, has no teeth,
nothing but baby hair, cannot talk, and
has to be fed and cared for like any or
binary baby. Once month she has
sick spell, but is otherwise seemingly
well. This is a phenomenon we'll worth
the study of physicians and scientists.
We have heard of dwarfs and other sin
gular developments, but have never seen
or heard of case like this before.
