Will Sheep Pay?
Gr. TV. Hawver of this town
ship has demonstrated the fact
that a small number of sheep
can be profitably handled on
most farms, or at least wherever
there are conveniences and the
dispositon to take care for them.
Commencing sometime in Jan
nary, he purchased from time to
time, as opportunity presentd,
until he had a flock of fifty
three. The lambs dropped
numbered thirty-seven, and the
wool-clip weiged 446 i pounds,
which was sold for 24 cents per
pound, amounting to $107 1G.
The lambs he can sell from
time to time, and with the price
received for them and the wool
he estimates h will have within
$16 of the amount the 53 sheep
cost him, and he will have the
full number on hand. He was
careful in his purchases, buy
ing only those he wanted, and
paying for a few as high as $5
per head. We would like to
hear irom some more of our
sheep raisers as to their experi
ences, not only concerning the
profits, but also regarding care,
etc. Exchange.
The Price Paid. We learn
that the price paid for the New
Market Theater block was
$200,000, $50,000 in money
and other jn-operty considered
by both parties to be woth
$150,000. The various leases
in the central market will ex
pire iu October, when the place
will be cleared of all superflu
ous material and be occupied by
the large agricultural house of
Knapp, Burrel & Co. It will
make the largest and most com
modious store in Portland.

Sarah Bernhardt, the actress,
is unreasonably thin, and when
a French paper wants to be
funny about her, here's the way
it goes to work ''An empty
carriage stops, and who is it
steps out? Sarah Bernhardt.5'
The editor of an Iowa paper
being asked, "Do hog pay?"
says that a good many do not;
that they take the paper several
years and then have the post
master send it back ''refused."
