When Mr. b. went to call upon some
friends the other afternoon, he was on
his way out of town and so had his
travelling bag with him. This he
placed in a corner. and when he rose
to leave he overlooked ii. His hostess
happened to notice it before he had
reached the door, and called to her
little daughter:
Marie, run after Mr.. b. and tell
him he has left his grip here!"
The little one gave her mother one
swift glance of surprise, but flew duti-
fully to obey orders.
"Oh, Mr.. b." they heard her say,
mother says you have forgotten to
take your grip with you" Then she
added, quickly, in a tone Of polite
apology: "Yor see, most all of us

rather not have any more!"

Killed n Heron.

The killing Of blue heron, "a bird
that has become very rare and one
that is very hard to KILL" is proudly
proclaimed by a hunter in the Che
halls River bottom near Elma, Wash.
The bird was magnificent specimen
of his DISTINGUISHING species, meas
uring fout feet six and one-half inches
from toe to tip of beak, and six feet
two inches from tip to tip of wing.
Shame upon the man who, simply to
crafty the desire to kill, murdered a
stately, harmless and shy creature of
the wild that asks nothing but the
right to live and perpetuate its spe-
cies! The act is one Of pure wanton
vandalism, for which suitable pun
ishment should be provided. Such
penalty might be provided by a law
making it misdemeanor punishable
by fine or Imprisonment, or both, for
a man who has been guilty of kill
ing such a bird "for sport" to be
caught with a gun in his hands. AS
distinguished from the sportsman
who hunts food birds and game In
season, the hunter who prides him
self that, because of his provinces as
gunner, there is one less blue heron
in the lonely haunts Of that fast-dis-
appearing bird. is marauder of the
woods, going about seeking what
harmless, and to him useless, Great
ures he can kill. The range of the
coyote or the timber wolf is the place
for such hunter-though the chances
are that he would not care to hunt
that has any means of self-defense.-

Prospects for Sheep.

For the past half dozen years sheep
have been booming. They have been
eagerly sought after, not only by
those who know the business, but by
all sorts and conditions of men. In
TACT, good ewes have been SO in de-
mand that the price has been too high
for much profit except with those that
were exceptionally fine and in the
hands OF men who thoroughly under
stood them. Many have gone into
sheep who had no knowledge of the
business, and too often such paid out
side prices. They were bound to run
up against difficulties, as is always
the case in any untried enterprise,
and now with wool 10 cents a pound
lower than year ago and few buyers,
and mutton lambs lower, too, there
are bound to be a lot of disgruntled
people, who will be even more eager
to get out Of the business than they
were to get in; those who have kept
sheep just long enough to learn more
OF the drawbacks. Is this wise?
Let us look over the situation as
whole. The government report shows
practically no more sheep than for
few pears past. The great ranges in
the West no longer can maintain the
immense flocks of two decades ago.
This is also true of beef cattle. One
report makes the number of cattle to
go to market this year as 25 per cent
less than year ago. In spite of the
general depression beef has advanced.
In view of the above it would seem
clear that there is not likely to be an
overproduction or abundance of meat
products. Just now there are a great
many idle who are restricting their
buying along all lines, particularly in
meats, which have been and are alb
normally high.
These conditions, to my mind, will
compel farmers to take less for all
crops this season than we have been
getting for the past few years. With
the scale of wages and other expenses
about the same as last year We must
expect year of small profits, possibly
none, and must curtail all outgoes, ex-
cept such as are absolutely necessary,
or in many cases the profit will be on
the wrong side Of the ledger. We have
had cream; now we must take a little
skim milk. Sheep are thus no excep-'
ton. With many wooden mills idle,
and many others only running on half
time last winter, there is a good deal
of the wool clip of 1907 yet on hand
With the uncertainty that always at
tends the year of presidential cleo
ton, we can expect little change be-
