ing that compares with the sheep. We
often hear farmers say as an excuse
for not having sheep that they don't
understand them" Well. if this is
true, then the quicker they get ac-
quainted with the fleecy tribe the bet
ter it will be for them. Sheep are
by nature sociable and easy to get
on friendly terms with, so the matter
of introduction is easy. There is
plenty of room in all the central west
ern states for five times as many
sheep as are grown at the present
time. If farmers would put more time
in sheep culture, and less at some
thing else, they would profit more.
The dog nuisance is, of course, a
handicap in some places, but, were
sheep generally raised, the combined
efforts of the sheepmen would soon
put the unnecessary dog out of bust
ness. 1t will be hard to combat the
dog successfully when such a large
number of farmers raise the many
ours instead of sheep.-Shepherd's Cri-

DEATH OF MRS ELIZA M. WALK
 FER.
 The funeral cortege with the re- mains of Mrs Eliza M. Walker, who died at her home on New Preston Hill, last Saturday morning, started on its way to Buffalo, N. Y, on Monday. of this week, where the interment was to take place. Mrs Walker came here with her nieces in 1907, an invalid, but fingered for months with senile oebil- ity, which at last weakened her heart. As she had been most faithful in serv- ice to these nieces, the Misses E. M. and P. M. Pomeroy, during their moth- erless childhood and young womanhood, so they now have been most zealous and faithful to Mrs Walker in her de- clining days, showing a beautiful spirit of appreciation and recompense and making glad and comfortable as pos sible the spirit of her who had been so faithful to them in their most tender years. It is not always so. Earthly rewards are not always so manifest, but in this case it is considered worthy of special mention.
