Ratlons for Sheep.

For ground food a mixture Of 100
pounds of corn meal, 100 pounds Of
wheat bran and twenty-five pounds of
oil meal has been found very satisfac-
tory. Oats may be substituted for the
bran with good results If the quantity
of oil meal is slightly increased. Ground
corn and oats mixed in equal proportions
is not only a good food but fattening
one To produce the best results in fat
tening sheep they should be regularly
dipped during the period. Corn is a
highly carbonaceous food and can only
be fed to sheep with safety when given
with bran or oil meal. With such ra-
tion they may be fed during the fat
tening period to their full capacity,
which would be unsafe with a ration
wholly or mainly Of corn.

pie, Is bitten by a huge, venomous snake of
the Aykis (X) family, the bite Of which is
said to be sure death. There te nothing
to counteract the venom injected into the
veins through the teeth Of the reptile. A
native at hand quickly draws his cuchillo,
cuts a deep cross over the wound, then
quietly puts his lips to the incision and
sucks the venom out Of the veins, so that
a badly swollen and painful init and a
wretched sickness for a few days is the only
result Of the accident. This, I can tes-
tify, is what Camille Tuinonees, a poor,
backwoods native. black, priest ridden
Ecuadorian, did to save q fe~llow-being's
life. and afterwards, when offered a sum

Since writing the above and await
ing the fortnightly departure Of our courier
for the coast to catch the upbound steamer,
1 have received a later issue of The SUM
day Bee, containing a more recent letter
Of Mr.. Carpenters from Valparaiso, de-
scribing the procession Of black-robed nuns
and white-robed Magdalens, and after read
ing the same / naturally ask, "Is your cor
RESPONDENT a Turk" Certainly he Is not
an American, or, at all events, has not the
characteristics we are credited with by all
the world, or at least were credited with
prior to April 20, 1898, viz, absolute fair

Why should the poor p~enitent have a priest
walking by her side? He will probably
find things more to his liking when he gets

When Robert F. Thomas was called as a
witness in a suit he had brought to re-
cover a partial payment which he had made
on a horse that he considered was not as
represented at the sale. he asked the courts
permission to pray before giving his tes-
timony. This being granted. he prayed aloud
for ten minutes. asking that everybody
might tell the truth. that the Jury might
see the horse was not sound, and wound up
inviting a blessing on the good democratic
Judge (who was trying the easel, who had
just been Endorsed by the solid republican
party Of Lehigh county" The Jury brought
a verdict against Mr.. Thomas and he will
have to pay the balance due on the horse.
