or meat would be too costly. The anil nal husbandry division of the depart ment of agriculture will answer re- quests for information from persons who desire to raise sheep, and has q number of publications on the subject available for free distribution.
 Sheep now cost approximately three times as much as in normal times. Good commercial sheep at present sell for from S16 to 500 head.
 In any sheep enterprise provision must be made for the guarding or fenc- ing in of the flock, for not only are the animals prone to stray from home pas lures, but they are favored prey for dogs, which annually inilict great loss es on the industry. Winter care must be provided for, and feed and sheltered quarters must be available in cold weather. Persons who desire to raise sheep are advised to enter the indus try with a view of staying for several years at least. The gross annual re- turns from the ewes of breeding age may be expected to range from SS to S15 head, depending upon the per centage of lambs raised. the weight of the fleece and the value of these prod ucts. The fleece from one sheep av- erages five to eight pounds and Is now selling for from 30 to Ca cents u pound. The ewes with good management will each raise a lamb. The lambs at five months will weigh approximately 80 pounds and will be worth 15 cents a pound and over. The useful life of q sheep Is about six years.
 Flocks of sheep have been maintain. ed in public parks in New York and Boston, and flock once was grazed on the grounds around the Washington monument in the capital. The use of sheep in lawns and parks has been ex- tensive In England The labor-savlng value of sheep is important for they are neat and effective grass cutters. Sometimes, too, they eat shrubbcry and flowers, but this danger can be met by watchful shepherd or other safe guards.

Canine Actor, Known Over All
Europe, Leaps, Juggles And
Rides Like a Man.

"Toque" is coming to Alma Thurs
day, July IL, with Ringing Bros.
Worlds greatest shows. "Toque" is
just dog, but by no means a COM
mon dog. He has no pedigree, but he
has reputation that extends all
over Europe and he has made for
tune for Alfred Loyal, who owns
him.
"Toque" is wonderful equestrian.
He turns single and double summer
sauts on horses back, stands on
his head in the saddle, and while sit
ting upright on the horses back
catches on his nose rings and clown
caps tossed to him by Loyal. While
the trainer stands in the saddle he
perches himself head down on the
mans head.
"Toque' is also wonderful aero
bat. He runs down an incline to a
springboard and leaps lengthwise
over the heads of a row of ten men,
turning two summersauts on the
way.
In special entertainment for the
lhildren this seasons circus is re-
markably strong. A troupe Of baby
elephant performers appeals partic-

the best kind of fun-makers and quite
as clever as the three herds of full
grown elephants which perform in
one big number One of these young
sters walks on rolling ball, guiding
it all around the ring. Another sits
in the seat of a wagon and drives like
man, companion in full harness
playing the part of horse. They play
on Swiss bells, they play at "drop-the-
handkerchief" just like a party of
children, they skip the rope, stand
on their heads, play leap frog, tennis
and baseball.
In addition to these dumb actors,
there are whole troupes and groups
of funny old bears, seals and sea-
