A Lazy Man’s Job.

Tip, since his early Wanderings on tbe plains, has always said that Jhe softest lazy man’s Job on earth was raising sheep. Sheep are bush feeders. They will thrive on eating anything from dead sage-brush to railroad snow fences. They will tunnel their muzzles through snow to gßt a stick underneath for food. Of course they eat the snow when they get thirsty. Now Tip learns from an official government report that an island ofT the coast of Nova Scotia has been a great success. Not an attendant with food, not a copper cent of cost to tbe owners, and through tpro bitterly cold,, hard winters those sheep have fattened and flourished to splendid form and fleece.-~-New York Press.
