Apples N Their Stomachs Caused Fer
mentation.
Fifteen fine Jersey cows in the Whit
ney's Point Stock Farm went On a dis
graceful spre last Monday. AMI almost
frightened the men IN charge OF them
out Of their wits.
For a long tina no one knew Just
what was the matter with the COWS.
They went Keeling across the fields like
a lot Of driEaken soldiers, rolling their
eyes. and every once in awhile giving
vent to the most hideous bowls. When
they got tired they either leaned against
one another or against the fences, and
that was the way the men found them
when they screwed up enough courage
TO 90 out IN the field and investigate.
a hurry call was sent to BinghaTnton
for a veterinary. because there was such
unmIstakzbIe signs of suffering on the
part OF the COWS that the men thought
they were poisoned. When the veteri-
nary took q look at the cows he was
puzzled They were glassy-eyed and
tired. Those that had fallen asleep we're
sleping so sOIndIy that they couldn't be

local veterinaTies were called in TO as

three sat up with the cows all night

The next morning the cows appeared

looked a trife ashamed but on the
whole they seemed in fair shape and
quite ready TO 90 back to eating grass
and making milk. It wasn't until the
cows we're turned out for their morning
drink, and almost dried up the creek in
tn field. that the Veterinarias got an

An Old Sexton Regrets That There Is

An old sexton IN one Of the downtown
burial grounds was arranging plants II

years. Coddled a bit he talked, and mi:
is part Of what he said
/ 1t seems to me that the living Of TO-

be- Leastwise they don't show It on the
tombstones.
If you viii examine closely you will

some tender words. Here lies the be-
loved WIFE there, AT rest in the bosom
OF God over yonder. Fell asleep in Je-
sus;' again, In loving remembrance of
devoted WIFE just beyond, In the
blessed hope of a glorious Immortality.
There is a tribute to every one of the
dead il this yard. You viii find around
the corner q monument erected To the
memory Of q beloved aunt You see il

he kinship was. All these stones are
not in memory Of a husband. OF wife, or
son, or daughter.

stones were But you don't find any of
the tender tributes cut on them which

The beloved aunt hasn't anything
