AN ARTISTS EXPERIENCE WITH AN ADMIRING

Mr. Gay few days ago took up his easel, piece
Of canvas stretched upon a frame, a palette. his
brushes and oils and went to large and beautiful
meadow not 300 feet from his house and took up
position under large apple tree. He had sketched
the outline Of the pretty picture before him. had put
on the groundwork and had brushed in part OF the
grass on his canvas when luncheon time came. The
sky was cloudless, hence there was no fear OF a
tornado, and as 1t too late In the year for
thunder storm he concluded that his apparatus
would be safe enough where they were but 1t was
luckless conclusion. When lD returned from
luncheon great Ayrshire COW stood under the
tree with both feet planted on the She had
licked off all Of the paint representing the green
meadow had chcwed the leather-seated STOOL and was
about swallowing long leather strap with which Mr.
Gay bundled everything together. When the artist at
tempted TO protest against this wanton assumption
of strange COW she became belligerent friend

natural that the COW M stock IL for green grass
Well learned that the COW had belonged TO an

house. In fact / came 10 the conclusion that she

Curry the Cows.

1t is probable that not one farmer in
hundred ever thinks of using such thing
as the curry-comb and brush on his cows,
although those instruments are used regu-
larly in the horse stable. Yet there is just
as much necessity for keeping the skin of
the COW in good condition as that of the
horse. No matter whether the cow is suf-
fered to run at large in the pasture all the
time, or is kept in the stable or yard and
fed, the process of currying and brushing
viii consume but little time and the far
mer will be amply repaid for his trouble,
both in the better appearance and increase
yield given by the cows for their good
treatment. That currying is necessary for
the health and is grateful to the animals
may be seen by the habit which COWS have
of abrushing" each other for half-hour
at time with the spiny surfaces of their
tongues The evident signs of satisfaction
which they gave when undergoing tins
process should furnish hint to the observ-
ing farmer which needs but little trouble
to act upon, In some parts OF Europe
where cows are kept in the barn nearly all
the time, their coats are carefully combed
and attended 10 as is the hair of childs
head, and it is regarded as matter of
necessity. No doubt this suggestion may
be laughed at by many who are accustomed
TO let both horses and COWS go almost unear-
cd for from one years end to another, but
the fact nevertheless remains that keeping a
cows skin in good order and clean is OF
