In the Canton Of Vaud, Switzerland,
was baffied by their ingenuity. To
keep his crawling live stock within
bounds he ran q series Of sharp metal
points along the top Of the fence en-
closing their fields, thinking that the
points would prick the foot Of the
animal and make him draw back.
However, the plan failed and the
farmer soon discovered that the "es.
cargots." like little wanton boys, had
climbed on each others backs In order
to get over the sharp points. The
method appeared to show cooperation,
