Of local and national company. The benefits Of the

bright idea struck somebody to send to
st. Louis and Chicago for all the brad
alls that could be purchased, and these
were driven into the poles with view
to wound the animals and prevent their
rubbing. Never was greater mistake
The bufaloes were delighted. For the
first time they came to the scratch sure

thrilled them from horn to tail They
went fifteen miles to find a brad-awl.
They fought huge battles around the

brad-awl broke OF the pole came down
There has been no brad-awls. from the
