There are many predictions regarding

tract great interest when it is tried.
Some time ago w. F. Mcintyre, who
lives in Gulledge township, noticed that
his cow was failing very rapidly in her
milk. Her teats also became very sore
and Mr.. Mcintyre was totally at sea
as to what was the matter with her.
until he found n very large pilot snake
that had made nest in the cows stall.
He killed the snake and at once the cow
got all right and has since remained
so. The snake was not seen to suck the
COW, but her failure in milk and subse-
quent Improvement after it was killed,
furnished strong circumstantial evidence
that it was the depredator. -Wadesbofo
