| 520 | _a"Shepherds for Science" by W. C. Tuttle is a humorous adventure story penned in the early 20th century. This light-hearted tale follows two characters, Dirty Shirt Jones and the narrator, Ike Harper, as they unwittingly become involved in a sheep-herding escapade in Yaller Rock County, where they are made deputy sheriffs. The book examines themes of absurdity within human experiences, particularly in the Western setting, coupled with moments of comedy that arise from the characters’ absurd predicaments. The narrative focuses on Dirty and Ike's journey as they attempt to manage a herd of sheep left in their care by a disheartened sheriff, Magpie Simpkins. As the plot unfolds, they encounter various colorful characters, including professors with an academic interest in sheep herding's impact on the mind. The story spirals through misadventures involving runaway sheep, rival cowboys, and unexpected challenges, all seasoned with witty dialogue and amusing situations. Ultimately, the duo concludes that while one might not be insane for being a shepherd, the experience itself may drive a person to madness—or make them a "superman" instead.
