hardly any live ticks. We caught the old ram and while Dad while examining him found some puss on his bag and after working it awhile got about a 1/2 cup full of matter out of it. We are afraid he may not be any good another year. When we got through wih=th the sheep we hooked Queen up and Frank and I drove her around the block I wemt down to the "sheeppasture" for awhile to-night. Fine day. Old Mr. & Mrs. Miller were in to-night to look at John. Mrs. Miller would have bought her but the old man woanted to come down again and try milkimg her. Tupper was in for. afew minutes, he has Fred Misner's cattle shut up in his stable, they have been running on the road lately and gertting into everyone's cfrops, they were in our oats to-day. Tupper took them to pound the other day up to Jim Waddle's but jom saiod he was bnever sworn in poundkeeper so wouldn't acceopt them
