When go to select sheep for breed

the form. had much rather have a
neat, shapely little sheep than a rough

in Sheep Breeder. After form l seek
evidences of vigor, of constitution and
stamina. These are vital to a breeding
flock. Without them, the other quail
ties cannot be transmitted. Next,
consider the fleece. think handsome
fleece, free from kemp, covering neatly

wool is low is true; so Is mutton. am

would avoid, however, selecting ewes
that were of larger or distinct tyne
from my own. With the ram it would
be different; his disproportionate size
would be small objection. Suppose, In
our unthinking striving for size, we
were to be successful, each year seeing
a marked increase in the size of our
sheep, when the sheep approach to the
size of the COW, what would be the

apart each way, making $40 to the acre,

years only. There were four acres and
they produced at that age 700 barrels of
apples, paying all expenses of setting

limbs then touched, and the owner in
tended to cut out as they grew, a suffi-
cheney to enable them to bear well. But
such cases of close setting are rare, and
can be recommended only for a special
purpose and under high cultivation

melon raiser, and is generally the
first man in the market with this

was such huge fellow that
crowds hung around Teade's wag-

brought these in more to show
what could be done in the glorious
climate of Caddo than anything
else, having refused $3.50 for the
larger one.

FOR INJURIES.
Mrs. Green Claims She Was Thrown
From a Car.
Case Brought by Her Husband Tried In
Common Pleas Court.

The suit Of Joseph Green and wife Of Paw
tucket against the Interstate Consolidated
Street Railway Company TO recover 5000
damage was tried in Judge Bosworths court
this morning. Mrs Green claims that on
August IL, 1896, she was thrown from the
footboard of car and sustained injuries
which resulted in the premature birth of
twins.
According to her story, she had signalled
the conductor to stop the car.a the corner of
East street and Broadway so that she might
go to her home on North Bend street. An
other party got off the car after il had been
signalled to stop by her, and she only got as far
as the footboard when the conductor gave the
motorman. the signal TO start up, and the car
went along and she fell to the ground
The defendant company denies any careless
ness on the part of its servant in starting the
car up, but alleges carelessness on the part OF
Mrs. Green. The latter was very nervous
when on the witness stand. One OF the twins
lived 40 hours and the other four months.
Joseph Osfeld, Jr., was counsel for the
plaintiff and Frank S. Arnold counsel for the
defendant company.
