stepped into the barnyard a few min
utes later to start the water at the

The strange part OF the affair lies in
the fac, that the farm is Well watercd
by three small brooks, which keep
running all winter, and the Sebasti-
cook River is but a few hundred

lures have discovered something in
the brooks and in the river which sets
their taste going in another direc-
ton, for they are watering regularly
at the Tibbettts pump. The moose
have never bothered the cows or the
oxen of the Tibbett herd and the lat
ter nave never apparently paid any
attention to the presence OF the
angers.-Kennebec Journal.
