Monkeys are more renowned for
mischief than for kindness, but even
monkeys can be benevolent NJ. Mou-
ton records the doings of one in Guade-
loupe that surely seemed to merit that
reputation. The monkey had friend
in a goat that went daily to the pas
ture. Every night the monkey would
pick out the burs and thorns, some
times to the number OF 1000 or 5000,
from that goats fleece, in order that
the animal might lie down in peace
On coming In from the pasture the
goat regularly went in search of his
light handed friend and submitted
himself to the operation. Strange to
say, the tricky instincts OF the mon
key reasserted themselves after the
pricks were removed. He would tease
the poor goat numerically, plucking
his beard, poking him in the eyes and
pulling out his hairs. The goat bore
it all with patience, perhaps regarding
it as only fair price to be paid for
the removal Of the thorns. London

Dr.. Knowles Sends Out Orders

DR.. NJ. E. Knowles, state veterin-
arian, has issued warning to Mon
tana sheepraisers to act promptly
if they wished to escape a quaran-
tine Of the state for lip and leg dis
ease.
The veterinarian said: 1.-The recent
action of Secretary Wilson in quar-
antining several Wyoming counties
should be a warning to Montana
sheepraisers. The sanitary commits
sion and this department have done
all within their power to eradicate
the disease, which is now confined
to comparatively few focks in cas-
tern Montana. The repression Of the
disease is therefore resting with
these few Individual owners. We
feel that we have performed valua-
BILE service in showing the method
for curing this disease, which is
both economical and effective. It
consists of one part of nitric acid
and seven parts Of water and should
be administered to the afflicted ami
mails by a single immersion which
will cure in 90 per cent of the cases.
The diseased animals should be sep
arated from the healthy. If these
directions are carried out there will
be no danger Of federal quaran-
tine, which would work worlds of
damage to the industry. In other
words, it is up to the owners to
clear up the situation. It the disease
IS permitted to spread, the quaran-
tine is sure to come.

mirably.
Mr.. Miller has been here for some
