I accepted it, and both the com

I had a tirst grade license.

An nuthoritity writes as follows:
The Shropshire is undoubtedly the
most popular of nil the mutton breeds

through every stato in the Union.
Why? Because they are robust, adapt
ing themselves to nil climates and
conditions. With practical manage
ment and care they give a good ac
count on the right side of the ledger.
The farmer wants sheep that will
give him a good tleece and also a good
increase of lambs. That will give him
a good return for Ills feed and labor.
A good liock of Shropshlres should av
erage from nine to ten pounds of
wool. This sells at top prices. With
good care the lambs should average 00

Some of the larger breeds at the same

sake of trimming up a brush lot.
If pastures are short give a grain
ration every day in the lield.
Put slats across the trough to keep
the sheep from fouling it with their
feet.
Give your sheep plenty of trough
room, so that they will not push and

The breeding ewes should be kept
strong and thrifty.
Generous and judicious feeding and
care mean satisfactory profits in sheep
raising.
No animal responds more generously

Examine the feet for tufts of grass

Hidden In a Basket of Flowers She
Found a Tiny Dog.
During one of the most admir
able performances that Donizetti’s
opera ever received in this country
an incident occurred that lent mo
mentous interest to 1’atti’s appear
ance.
Mme. Diaz, wife of the president
of iMexico, hud heard of the death
of Patti’s pet dog nicci and had
sent her another, which was pre
sented to the diva in a novel way.
The tiny animal was buried in a
basket of roses, but an usher discov
ered it, aud the manager refused
permission.
At the next act, however, Mr.
Abbey relented and allowed the
usher to convey the gift. The bas
ket in which the dog was hidden
was a triumph of floral art, and
Mme. Patti, attracted by the beauty
of its design and the gorgeous
bloom of its roses, chose to carry it
personally off the stage.
As she lifted the basket and
kissed its flowers the little dog.
which was badly frightened by the
experience it had had, gave a feeble
cry. The diva stnrtcd, looked curi
ously into the mass of flowers, gave
a purely feminine scream of de
light and, running down to the
footlights, whispered gleefully to
the audience. “1 declare if it isn’t
a lovely little dog!”
No one who has not been at a
Patti performance can realize the
enthusiastic volume of applause
that greeted this announcement.
Men jumped up on the chairs nnd
yelled “Brava, brava. Patti!’’ and
women waved their fans and hand
kerchiefs and cried hysterically.
Suddenly Patti dived her curly
head into the basket and kissed the
dog, whereat a fresh storm of
cheers rang through the house.
Then she tried to extract the little
animal from the flowers, so that
she could show him to the audience,
but he was tied in securely with
ribbons.
Whereupon she said in dumb but
eloquent pantomime, “1 can’t get
him out.” Finally, as the applause
showed no signs of abatement, she
ran off the stage, gave the dog and
his basket to an attendant, came
tripping back and whispered,
“Home, Sweet Home,” to Signor
Arditi, and the ballad was sung as
only Patti could sing it.
There wore tears in her eyes ns
she finished, and many a man in the
auditorium choked down a sob and
many a woman wept silently ns the
pathetic strains of the old song
floated in mournful cadence through
the auditorium.

Cooling the Milk.
Tbe cooling of milk is considered to
bo the uiost important point. The ad
vantage of cooling is that it prevents
tbe growth of bacteria and organisms
which aro apt to develop bad flavors
In the milk. There are two ways of
cooling tnilk. One is by the maximum
of exposure to the air. and the other
is by the minimum exposure to the
air. The first method has this ad
vantage, that you cool milk quickly.
The Horse's Teeth.
Examine the horse's teeth frequent
ly and find if they are in good con
dition for grinding the feed. Many
j horses lose flesh and are in poor health
j simply because their teeth are too un-
I even for proper grinding of the feed.

Cupic's Effective Darts.
Once upen a time Cupid called
on Vulcan.
‘Triend Vulcan,” he said,
“things hav • been a little slow with
me of late, and 1 have been missing
a lot of n arks. I want you to
make me a new lot of d«rts and tip
each one of them with gold.”
Several days afterward Mercury
appeared in a great hurry before
Vulcan with this note from Cupid:
Dear Vulcan—Those last darts didn't
miss once. Make me 10,000 gross more
gold tipped ones at once. 1 am doing the
greatest work of my life.
Moral.—Aim is made more effec
tive by the judicious use of gold.—

What would you Think of a doctor
who was good at diagnosis and a fail
ure at curing?
A Treat For the Doctor.
A Philadelphian, who has since
then fortunately regained his
health, was last year the subject of
an extended examination by special
ists.
“The examination seems to have^
delighted Dr. Blank,” said the pa
tient to one of the doctors when
they were alone for a moment, “for
1 have noticed that his eyes are
positively beaming. I assume, then,
that my case is not a grave one.”
“Well.” hesitated the physician,
“I hardly feel justified in saying
that. But I understand from Dr.
Blank that he is going to perform
a number of interesting operations
on you.”—Lippincott’s.
