THE MIRACLE OF A SHEEP,

The following Is an abstract flom an article written by the editor of the Stock and Station Journal, Sydney, Australia:
 A man was teaching a class about cattle and he said, Now. can any boy tell me what a COW is?" I don't know. was the reply he expected, but a small boy gave him the correct an- swer. He said
 Please, sir, a COW Is an animal with four legs, one on each corner"
 That was a good answer and the boy had my sympathy If any one were to ask me, what is sheep? do you know what I would say? My an swer would be: "A sheep Is a mi raele.n So it is There isn't more marvellous animal in the world than sheep, and at all our pastoral and agri- cultural gatherings We ought to toast the sheep. But we don't simply be- cause nobody eyer thinks of the source of all our wealth. We count our wool returns in millions of pounds sterling and the mutton sales are enormous, and the whole country profits by the sheep, but who ever thinks of it? Hardly anybody except from the point of view of pounds. shillings and pence. Did l eyer tell you about the great FIorentine Giotto. who made his mark on the sands of time? l don't think eyer did, for l know q heap of things that I haven't told yoH yet, although I've been telling you stories for good many years.
 One day. when Giotto was standing in the streets of Florence telling stories and laughing. a pig ran be- tween his legs and upset him He get up. very angry. but when he saw the pig rushing down the street he laughed and cried: eAh. ydn villain. you! And yet, look at the lot of money I have made with xour bristles, and I never gave you even a glass of wine"
 Good old Gietto Look at the money some men have made out of wool, but have never thought about the miracle or sheep. That's our trouble. We hardly ever think about anything. If we did, We would find the Kingdom of God on earth. AS it is. We mostly find the other kingdom

It is not the intention of the Farm CTS Unjan to take in hand the man. agement or control of railways. The individual members of the Union will, no doubt, be heard from on this line, as they, of all men, are the most in- terested in transportation facilities. This is ar sge when more, rather than fewer, railways are needed; and it is not sensible to put up bonus to build a line and then turn round and kill the investment of those who have put up the money to build it. Let Us have some common sense about this railway business.

Here are some good suggestions for your kitchen: Have your shades and curtains of white muslin that can be laundered. When using your gas stove in the summer, cover the top of your coal range with newspapers, which will make a handy table. Have your rack near the stove. so that your tow els will get well dried after each dish washing small shelf should be put up near the stove to hold your salt and pepper box Cover the back wall of your sink with oil cloth, preferably white, and here may be hung your broom, shovel, dish mop and soap box. In box or drawer may be kept the necessary articles for ironing. The top may be covered with oil cloth. and will give an extra table. A chest of drawers Is useful and almost neces- sary for keeping the kitchen towels and aprons, besides many other useful articles It is well to keep in the kitchen bottle of linseed oil and lime water, together with roll of old linen pieces for bandages, for use in case of burns.

The Monticellonian., 1907-11-07

Don't get excited; don't be misled. The present furry will cut no ice with the prosperity of this country. The prices of things are not inflated; they are simply about right. There are a few exceptions, and cotton is one of the exceptions. Cotton has had the whole gambling world combined in fight for low prices. The bear manip- ulators have not hesitated to use any and all possible means to ruin the prices They have finally played their last card, and in the scramble have lost out and have bankrupted many of their friends This is the begin ming of the bear stampede. They have sold cotton for future delivery at all sorts of low prices and the day for the delivery comes on apaee. What are they going to do about il? The available cotton for delivery will be bound to become exhausted soon Then that in the warehouses will be requisi- toned. and if the holders stand for the best price there is nothing under the sun tn prevent their getting that price, so long as it is not prohibitory one. Fifteen cents is not prohibitory. and it Is right there the price should stick, and there it will stick till the time comes to make il higher still.
