Sheep Items.

The sheep raising industry in Mon
tana and Wyoming is said to be in
very prosperous condition.
| Stock yards authorities state that
| more sheep were sent to the Chicago
| market during the week ending Oct
| 20 than ever before.
A Macon county, Illinois, correspond
| ent reports that sheep are booming.
with more buyers than sellers and good
| prices prevailing.
A. G. McGregor, live stock enumera-
tor of the department Of agriculture,
says that if a severe winter should
prevail in the southern part of Wyom-
ing, there would be enormous losses
Of sheep and cattle owing to shortage
of feed on the ranges.
According to reports by the depart
ment of agriculture, throughout the
west a buoyant feeling exists among
sheep raisers, and numbers are in
creasing with considerable rapidity,
especially in the valleys of the Missis-
sippi and Missouri, and the impulse
of growth is felt in all the states Of
the Ohio valley.
The blind gut Of the sheep which
heretofore has been almost exclusive
ly manufactured in France into an
article for medical purposes, is now
worked in this country and made into
articles which are equal in every re-
spect if not superior to the foreign
goods. The gut is cleaned thoroughly
inside and outside and worked by
hand to thin tissue. They are then
bleached to the required creamy, whit
ish tint by placing in a liquid bleach
ing solution for about twelve hours.
The membranes are then removed,
washed several times to remove the
bleaching agents, dried and punched
in sets of a dozen.

Heliothis armiger, a cosmopolitan
species of varied food habits, and
which, as it's different popular names
denote, has a destructive propensity
for boring into anything like a pod
The insect lives on corn until the ears
are too hard for easy attack, and then
transfers it's attention to other plants.
From this it results that it is usually
only late in the season that the larvae
are found upon tobacco. Here it works
much as does the true bud worm, Dor
ing into the seed pods and into the
flower stalks, and feeding upon the
leaves. The eggs are deposited in the
bud, and the larvae do very serious
harm by feeding on the young and as
yet unfolded leaves. A large worm
may quite devour bud. In color and
markings the false bud worm Is one
of the most variable of caterpillars.
This insect. like the true bud worm,
passes the winter in the pupa condi-
ton under the surface Of the ground.

Northern Lights.

On the checks of the City National
Bank of Kankakee is the portrait Of
an Indian girl. The vignette is the
portrait of Miss Mary Ponce, or
Northern Light" of Indian island,
Old Town, Me. She is one Of the pref
test bellies of the Tarratine tribe.
Northern Light" has all the courage
of her ancestors. A canoe in which
an aged Indian and two squaws with
a little white boy were crossing Old
town rapids struck a sunken log and
was capsized.
Miss Romeo saw the accident from
the shore and quick as thought she
launched canoe and padded to the
rescue. She rescued the Indian and
the little boy and attracted the atten-
ton of some log drivers, who saved the
two squaws. Her canoe was within
a few yards of the falls, but by great
exertions she managed to reach shore
with her human freight.
