John Schwarz, who resides on the
Peterson farm south OF town, declares
that he has q horse that makes a prac-
tice of sucking a ~cretain COW when they
are in the same pasture. MIR. 5. had
been missing the tactical fluid at milking
time and thought the COW relieved her
self, so he put a yoke on her but still she
would come up dry. A watch was set
aud the horse was caught in the act,
going down on his knees to perform the
operation.

When you drive to town in your nice
new top buggy, better spend 10 cents
to put your team in the barn or you
may have to spend several times that
amount in repairs as did a young man
Saturday. During the heated season
fys are bad and horses standing on the
street are apt to become nervous or be-
come frightened and break the fasten-
ings and run awey, which means o dem
orali zed buggy. a lot OF unnecessary ex-
pense, and in all probably a search for
the team, and a walk home. The triie
it costs to put u team in the barn while
in town is money well spent, and will
give good returns on the investment.
