SHEEP ON THE FARM.
They Are of Inestimable Value Be-
cause Of Their FOndness for
Young Sprouts and Weeds,

The sheep Is among the most use
full and valuable of domestic animals,
being producer of wool used for
clothing and other purposes, and of
wholesome meat. But the sheep also
is Of large value on the farm because
Of his fondness for young sprouts and
weeds.
According to an authority there are
nearly 600 varieties Of known weeds.
of which sheep will eat SIS kinds, while
horses, cattle and hogs will eat but
few varieties. 1t is apparent that
every farmer could well afford to raise
few sheep if for no purpose other
than the destruction of weeds.
Weeds increase in numbers and va
rieties as the country grows older.
They are found most abundantly in
the old countries of Europe. Theip
steady increase in this country de-
mands that farmers should raise sheep
as among other means looking to
their determination.
By all means get two or three ewes
already bred and give them the run
of that foul pasture. Increase the
flock by breeding and purchase il ad-
Yisable, until the number is sufficient
to keep down the weeds on given
area.
No farm is properly equipped with
out sheep.-Farmers' Voice.

Writing from Bunbury, West Aus

Reginald Shaw relates the following
amazing incident, which, lie states,
happened to one of his party when
fishing from the jctty: His friend
had baited his hook with large whit
ing, hoping to catch kingfsh, when
shark about seven feet long swal-
lowed it. The angler gently brought
the shark to the surface of the water
while n man working ON the ietty
came to his assistance with big iron
hook, and after several Intellectual at
tcmpts to jab the hook into the
sharks mouth the latter got away.
On pulling up his line the fisherman
found that he had lost the whiting
bait, but had hooked two large ribs
of beef from the stomach of the
shark, Then, to the amusement of
the crowd. one of whom remarked:
well, exchange is no robbery" he
landed the beef safely on the jetty.--

THE GRAND MEDICINE MAN.
Necessary Requirements of the In

WiscRcrc in His Tribe.

The ceremony of the Grand Medi-
cine is an elaborate ritual, covering
several days, the endless number of
gods and spirits being called upon
minister to the sick man and to
lcngthen his life. The several de-
grecs of the Grand Medicine teach
the use of incantations, of medicines
and poisons, and the requirements nee
essary to constitute brave says the
Open Court. "Whcn young man
seeks admission to the Grand Medi.
cine lodge, he first fasts until he sees
in his dream some animal (the mink,
beaver, otter and fisher being most
comnon), which he hunts and kills.
The skin is then ornamented with
beads or porcupine quilts, and the
spirit Of the animal becomes the
friend and componion of the man"
The medicine men have only limited
knowledge of herbs, but they are cx-
pert in dressing wounds, and the art
OF extracting barhed arrows from the
flesh can be learned from them.
