1t is said that the Australians have very
stringent law for the eradication Of ecsb in
sheep. They have the state scab inspectors,
whose business it ia to see that the law Is en-
forced. Every sheep owner who dircovers
indications of scab in his flock is obliged to
notify all fockmasters within q certain ra-
tiius of the fact. and also to poet notices in
public pl,ces. II the disease is not stamped
out within ninety days, tire diseased animals
NUT BE- killed. The result has been that
scab has almost disappeared from Austria
lian focks.

A flock of sheep. like the more popular
form of "securiies," yield a semi annual
return to the holder. During the spring
months he clips his flrecy coupon, while a
thousand voolen manufacturers st nd ready
to cash them at sight A few months later
ano her handsome return is made, as the
amb crop is turned into money or passed
to the account of ''cspital STOCK" And so
OF, constantly augmenting, steadily psyin. i.
But here the comparison ceases. The sheep
add. to the wealth OF the world, while the
bond but takes from one man to add to the
wealth OF another.
