RIGHT WAY TO CATCH SHEEP
Put Hand Under Jaw-Never
Grab Il by Its Wool.

An experienced sheep breeder and
flock master says never catch a sheep
by the wool. This causes the animal
unnecessary pain. But this is not all.
When you catch the sheep by the wool
you are likely to pull out the wool,
thus leaving a bruised place In the
flesh of the animal. If the sheep Is to
be sold for mutton the flesh will show
this bruised condition.
The proper way to catch a sheep 10
to take 1t either by the hind leg just
above the gambrel point or by putting
the hand underneath the lower Jaw
or neck. In using a crook 1t is impoY-
tant that the sheep are not caught be-
low the gambrel joint, as injury to tbs
leg is liable to result from this.

A merry Xmas party enjoyed the hospitality of Dr. and Mrs. Blome on last Saturday evening. The guests of honor were the Xmas Seniors, but the Faculty entire was also present. A lovely Xmas tree occupied the position of honor in the center of the room and on it hung presents for all. The Seniors delighted with little dance about the tree while they sang a Xmas song. The entire company was divided into groups and each group was given a game to represent-the best representation drawing prize a basket filled with rosy apples. Blindfolded, the guests, then, with magic wand, tried to burst the huge red bags of nuts suspended from the ceiling. Amid the merriment attend ing this, dainty trays were brought in, from which were served appetizing refreshments and soon afterwards the merry guests departed.
