GOATS TO PROTECT SHEEP

: In order to Illustrate an attack on
his flock of sheep by catamount, or
panther, David Glover Of near Haney-
vile has purchased two Angora goats.
The pugnacity of these goats is such
that on animal Of prey dare attempt
to despoil a flock.
The sheep raisers of that wild sec
tion have suffered severe losses to
their focAs of late years since the big
increase in black bears and cata-
mount, and now with real panther
in the neighborhood it became neces-
sary to do something desperate. Mr..
Glover hit upon the Angora goat idea,
and it seems to have settled the prob
lem. The goats are masters of all
they survey, all right, even the men
folk fighting shy of getting too close
to the sturdy creatures.

WHAT SOME PEOPLES EAT

After all, food is purely a matter of
taste. The Eskimos delight in mice
in tallow. Then the Chinese consider
that alligators, mice, and rats form
most excellent foodstuffs. A certain
tribe of Indians in California thrive
upon ants.
On the continent butterflies are
sometimes eaten. The Turkish enjoy
goldfish, and in Japan a good deal Of
fish is eaten raw.
The South American Indians go
hunting for caterpillars, kill them by
crushing their heads, and then pack
them carefully in grass until required
for table USE Some of the natives
of Australia live largely upon the
seeds of different species Of grass,
They also eat certain roots and bulbs
and the gum obtained from trees
Another Australian delicacy is the
flesh of snakes, and a favorite dish,
called tuinamba, is composed Of pupa
cases.
