whale and Lion Said TO Be Of Idsnti-

As everyone knows, or ought to
know, the whale Is not a fish, but
mammal. and biologists have long pom
dered and disputed about its family
tree. In Eocene times the ancestors Of
mammals were beginning to take
shape somewhat like those OF to-day
and to lose the grotesqueness inner
tied from their reptillan progenitors.
To be sure. animals were very differ-
ent from those OF to-day. Horses were
no larger than dogs and had five toes.
while cattle-like tinoceras, twice the
size OF an OK, with six horns, tusk-
like teeth and five toes, cropped the
heritage OF Wyoming. Along with
these peculiar plant feeders there
dwelt some very primitive fiesh eaters,
to which Professor Cape gave the
name OF creadonta.
The scene shifts to modern times.
Professor Fraas OF Stuttgart, Ger

The jaw bones are those of whales

Points In Sheep Raising.

A small, fat sheep will always brins
better prices than large. poor one.
Overstocking is usually injurious to
the sheep and ruinous to the farmer.
Dryuess is one Of the requirements
in the production OF the finest grades
of wool.
Sheep are naturally gregarious.
When one is seen by itself something
is evidently wrong
With sheep, rather more than with
any other class of stock, care must be
taken not to overfeed.
In connection to fatten sheep, the
feeding should not be crowded at first.

the ration.
