"Sheep are in strong demand in the

IF / were painter OF animal studies

the contour OF their bodies is Ina soft

Getting the Top Price for Eggs.

A Washington man who holds a gov
ernment position has fine little flock,
and sells from two to sig dozen eggs
week besides what his family con-
sumes. He asks from two to four
cents more for his eggs than the store
price, according to the season. He
gets 1t and he could sell twice as many
eggs right among his fellow clerks.
Why? Because they all know that
these eggs are absolutely fresh, and
only the city dweller, who has to eat
stale and lined eggs, knows how to
appreciate fresh ones. If this can be
done on small scale by personal con.
tact between the producer and the
consumer. it can be done on com.
mercial basis by any farmer or poul-
try grower, providing he takes the
same care which the Washington gov
ernment clerk Goes.--Indiana Farmer.

Nero, large Newfoundland dog

ness in dropping into the canal lun-
cheon that he was carrying that he
nearly killed himself in his efforts to
regain the parcels, and refused to
come out of the water till they were

Nero started from his masters home
for his shop with a lunch pail and
some coffee In a glass bottle having a
handle by which 1t could be carried.
He suddenly seemed to remember that
he could shorten the trip by a quarter
OF mile by going across lots and over
the footbridge of the canal. The
bridge is narrow plank, and in cross.
ing 1t Nero had to be watchful Of his
steps that he forgot to keep his jaws
tightly shut on the coffee bottle. and
1t dropped into the water. Forgetting
that he had the lunch pail in his
mouth, Nero jumped in after tho coffee
and thus lost both burdens.
Then he began to plunge and swim
around frantically in the canal. The
accident had been seen by two boys.
and after they had watched the dog
swim around for half an hour they
went to the shop and told the owner
about 1t. The latter hurried over and
found the dog SWIMMING about, plung-
ing here and there, endeayoring to get
