Some states that have laws that re-
ouire the removal or destruction OF
weeds by the wayside roads are insisting
on strict enforcement of the law. It
is a question whether the farmer or the
oyerseer of the highways or road COM
missioners should do the work Of weed
destruction. In some states railroads
are compelled by law to destroy all dan
gerous weeds under penalty. Roadsides
are a pregnant source for distributing
weed nuisauces on farmers fields.

Thl. Cow I. Eccentric.

That eccentricity is not confined to
human beings is shown by a cow on a
farm near Norristown, Pa. The bovine
is II years old, but no one has ever
been able to induce her to drink water
from a bucket, trough or brook, \ al
though many attempts have been
made to have her do so. Nothing less
than stream of water pumped from a
cistern for her individual use answers
her vanity Indulgence on the part
of her caretaker has fastened her in
the habit beyond all hope OF cure. The
cow always grasps the spout of the
pump in her mouth after good
stream flows. Then very little water
escapes while she is drinking. The
COW is of mixed breed, with short
horn Jersey predominating and Fred
Edmunds, who is in charge of the
farm, is at loss to know to what par

So she returned to the village and
very glad her parents were to see her,
for they had believed tina, she had
been eaten by bears.
She told them all that had happen

from the thunder god Hinur.
A council OF the tribe was called

hardly any sickness and death among
the people, but by aud by things be
gan to be as bad as they were before
so the maiden went to Hmm and
asked him what was the matter
now.
He told her that the big snake had
followed the village, dragged him self
along under ground and was now pois-
oning the water of the creek from
which the people drank. But he ad-
ded that he would attend to the mon
ster, and the NEXT night when the
snake came out OF the ground and
went down to poison the creek Hmm
was watching aud hurled a thunder
bolt at him.
At the first thundetbolt the snake
only laughed; but Hinun hit him
again, and then third time and final
ly fourth, and then let fly a thuu-
derbolt OF unusual size and exceeding
ly high voltage at him, so that the
gigantic snake gave up the fight aud
died.
At dsybreak the Indians came, re-
joicing at the death of their enemy,
and laid the b ,dy of the snake out
straight, fading that 1t stretched for
twenty arrow flights.
Then, with songs OF triumph, they
rolled the body into the river and 1t
