Thinking he would now bo rid of his trouble he proveoded to carry out the pLan and accordingly purchased a ball of twine, drove, las sheop into a nnall enclosure and commenced opera- tions. When ho had finished tym,- their oars ho lot them out with tho exulting r.-maik 'T reckon that'll stop their areer. " Fora whilo tho poor .sheep looked around thorn in blank amazement xhakinu' their heads and utteruii; piteous bloats, when suddenly, as if sei/.ed with an extremely brilliant idea thay all made for the nearest fence, clearing it about two feet abore tho highest rail and land- ini; in tho farmer's wheat tield adjoining The farmer, in his turn, was looking in hlankiaina/.cnicnt at the tlyinij tlewes, but when they landed in the next field ho protested very loudly and forcibly. and soon had the sheep back in tho small ehclosiiro and was cutting the cord:: with tho greatest vehement-it. I'be farmer is now looking for a acJieino by which he may ",ct even with :ho ymuiu man who put up thu job on him. Dairy Maids' Socud.
