SHEEP AND WOOL.

The owner of good flock Of wool
or mutton sheep just now is to be
congratulated. Never before was
the outlook more gratifying tc the
sheep owners than this fall. can
remember when the boom in sheep
was much greater than now-when
the American Merino was supposed
to be worth its weight in gold, and
again when the newly imported fan
cy breeds we're greatest in demand
but to the quiet observer, the un-
healthfulness of these two former
booms could be detected. They
were not founded upon the firm in
dust ial conditions that prevail to-
day, and consequently they burst.
There is. OF course, the chance of
the present bonn in wool and NUT
ton raising too high and meeting its
Waterloo. But at present the out
look is encouraging. The sheep
are worth the money paid for them,
and they are going to make good
income for their owners. The man
who goes right ahead, says writer
in American Cultivator, and breeds
e Their for wool or mutton will profit
in the end. Now is the time to
make the most Of the hocks. By
another season it may not pay so
well. There will be too many in
the field. At present the market
supply Of lambs is below the actual
consumptive demand. The herds
of sheep cannot supply the farmers
demands for good breeders, and the
wool clip is consequently limited
1t is an all round demand that has
its root in general prosperity and
under production in sheep. During
the hard times Of recent years the
fiocks OF sheep we're SO reduced in
numbers that now it is hard work t.
recruit their ranks up to the needed
numbers. This is the plain condi
ton Of affairs, and the man who hai
well-bred sheep and fails to MAKE
the most Of his opportunities de
serves to fail. Sheep bought las
spring and fall are today worth
more than double what was paid 70
them. Their value, moreover, il
steadily increasing, and if the pres.
ent wave Of prosperity continues
there is no saying what they will b.
worth next son.-Prairie Farm

A road supervisor Is bound "a
keep the roads in his district in re-
pair. II not, a court may issue a
writ of mandamus to compel him to
do SO, besides which he may be fined
John Obertate was a supervisor in
Ohio county, who permitted part of
the road in his charge to become "al-
most impassa BILE, by reason Of its
being washed into gullies and the
deposit of driftwood, stones and
other debris thereon by heavy
rains. " John +. Cutter, who fire
quently travelled that road, brought
suit to compel him to repair that
road. The circuit court refused to
issue the order, and the supreme
court has reversed its judgment.
In the opinion, Judge Monks said /:
THE statute plainly imposes on
a road supervisor the duty to keep
the roads in his district in good re-
pair, and he is authorised to call out
the hands of the district to COM
plete the repairing if the labor and
tax are insu fficient therefor. If
highway is out Of repair, the stat
utes require that he place it in good
repair. The plan and manner I
making the repairs, and the mate
rial d in making them mvy rest
in his discretion, but his duty to
put the road in good repair is pub
lie duty, ard is imperative and not
discretionary. Even if
the gullies were an obstruction Of
the highway within the meaning of
the statute if the ada
cent land owners failed to remove
the distractions as required by law,
it was the duty of Appellee Ober-
tate, as supervisor, to have it d,ne.
If he had no funds, and could not
give receipts for labor on the high
way, then it was his duty to call
out the hands in the district.
