was the first turned of, but on his
second sheep-a very bad one the
shearer made up his lost ground, and
beat the machine. The trial was for
half dozen sheep each, and the shearer
got through his lot in 4S minutes %
seconds, while the Arab was So min
utes while doing his half dozen. 1T is
due the machine to say the Arab, lost
some valuable time on his third sheep,
and did not try to make record. He
got through his difficult task exceed-.
ingly well, and many an owner Of large
tiocks wished he could get his sheep
shorn as closely. But there was no
comparison between the. two lots of
sheep. The hand-shearer was one Of the
most skilled in the colonies, but could
not help cutting the sheep in, his ;:,nx-
iety to shear close to the skin, while the
machine-shorn sheep presented an'even
surface, closely shorn, and with the
skin intact. In the six sheep there We're
only two very slight cuts, once On dewlap
and one at one side of the tail. 49,. I.
The general opinion of those present
was that though highly skilled shear
er had beaten the machine in the time
test, the test for closeness of ,shearing,
freedom of second cuts in, the. wool,
and cuts in the skin, was decidedly
il favor of the machine. Itsvas eYi-
dent that in flock. of wethers, as
usually shorn, the machine would take
from eight ounces to IL ounces more
wool per head--a very great coifsidera-
ton in sheep to be sent off fat before
next shearing.-N. Y. World. d

OF all the timber and underbrush on it,
l stopped also, and there learned to APP
p1eciate the benefits derived from these
great expositions.
The three maps represent, first: 1.-THE
Farm LOST" second, "The Farm Re
cuperated,' and third, 1.-THE Farm Re-
gained" The first map shows the
farm after the trees and brush have
all been cut away from the small water
courses and hillsides, leaving the heavy
rains free to wash the black soil into
the bitches, leaving exposed surface
of clay and rock. The second shows a
new beginning, where trees and shrub
berry have been planted in the places
where that supplied by nature had been
SO recklessly cut away. The third
shows the same farm after the new
trees and shrubbery have had time to
grow and become firmly imbedded, thus
making possible the resoiling of the
barren fields.

Other people besides my Missouri

my friend from Missouri had learned a
lesson that was worth far more Than
his entire trip had cost him.

and let him have it pretty straight.
Then he hit me with other parts of the
book, but I'd got my feet under me, and
before we got through l had knocked his
eye out"
The Freshman's mother started.
She appeared shocked, and glanced COW
estly at the Sophomore with much the
same look that she would have turned
on a noted criminal. Her face took
on an appearance of settled displeasure.
The white-suited walters stepped
back. The right end looked question
ingly around the table and rose.
would you like to see my room?"
said the Freshman.
His mother followed him up the stairs.
In the "den" they found the Sophomore
adding the finishing touches to his
preparations. He went bravely through
the ordeal of an introduction and then
fed. He closed the door behind him
and stood in the hall a full minute
looking at it.
Shed freeze an Esquinlau," he said
to himself.
The Freshman's mother inspected the
brass bedsteads and the siender-legged
table without discovering the iniqui-
ties that they concealed, but the cloud
did not lift from her face. She drew
chair up to the fire and sat down.
II am afraid that this college is q
wild place." she said rather anxiously.
The Freshman glanced quickly about
the room to see what evidence had been
left uncovered. Save for corner of
yellow-backed novel protruding from
behind the book shelves, he could find
none.
