Autoists on the National Pike are
treated to a novel sight if they chance
to pass the Beachy farm half way up
Negro Mountain, three miles west of
Grantsville at milking time. One of
Edward Beachy's little boys drives the
cows to and from pasture and when he
drives them up the pike. be seats him
self in his little wagon. takes hold of a
cows tail and makes Bessie tow him
up the grade. After the cows are turn
ed into the field he coasts back to the
barn oyer the smoothly surfaced high
way. Before the pike wasS rebuilt it
was too rough for such sport. Thus
we have another object lesson on the
benefits of good roads. Asked by a
passing motorist whether he had only
one COW trained to draw his wagon up
the pike by tail hold, the little boy re-
piled mo sir; Jest grab hold of any
cows tail and make her pull me- They
don't mind it, and it's bnlly fun, but l
haven't tried it yet on the old bull. -
