but the air should be admitted through
windows or openings high enough
from the ground to prevent the wind
from blowing on the cows. The stall
must not become wet and miry with
manure or from rain. It should be
kept dry and well bedded with leaves,
straw, sawdust or other available ma
terial. This will not only keep the
COW clean and make her comfortable,
but will afford q pleasant place to
milk in. The bedding will also add
to the amount of manure that can be
carried to the fields.
The COW is q nervous animal and
should be treated gently and kindly.
II she steps on the mixers foot, or
slashes his face with her tail, or kicks
when her teats are pinched. she
should not be kicked in return; and II
the feed-room door is left open and
she goes in, she should not be beaten
for 1t. A careful mixer rarely suffers
injury by the cow. and she will re-
spond readily to care. patience and
kindness on the part of the mixer.

stall of Old Smiles, the ill-tempered
rhinoceros, to give the beast a coat
ing of oil and lampback to keep her
skin from cracking. After a rope
had been put around the animals
neck and fastened to an iron bar
Billy went down a ladder into the
stall.
The refractory animal kept tug
ging at the rope. Suddenly it slip
ped and the angry rhino charged on
the keeper. Snyder's GOODNESS came
to his aid, for he ran and lodged
around the cage with the rhino in
pursuit. The animal tried hard to
impale him, and despite the fact that
another keeper, Bob Horton, grab
bed an iron bar and vigorously
whacked the rhino every time 1t
came within reaching distance, Old
Smiles continued to chase Snyder.
Watching his chance, Billy sprang
up the ladder, but Old Smiles smash
ed into it just as Snyder neared the
top. With a thud Billy came tumb-
ling on the rhino's broad back, but
fortunately for him the ladder also
toppled down, hitting the animal
resounding whack. This so dlscon-
certed the rhino that she retreated
to the further side of the cage, al
lowing Billy his chance to squeeze
through the bars to safety.
Between that time and the pres
ent year Snyder has had many mar
row escapes from the teeth and claws
of the animals Last April, however,

perintend the transfer of a young lion
to Brooklyn. He went into the den
of a young lion named Bismarck
armed with canvass bag which he
intended to throw over the head of
the king of the forest The lion was
not disposed to have his head cover
ed, however, for he jumped about
the cage and ducked at each throw.
Snyder had his mind made up that
he would carry out his part of the
trade of Bismarck for two bear cubs
an elk and 800 pounds Of sleeps
fleece which the Brooklyn authori-
ties promised to give for the lion, so
he made one more desperate attempt
to get the bag over the animals
head. He advanced closer and made
a throw at the lion, which cunningly
ducked. In doing so he bumped in
to Billy and his claws struck the
keeper on the right leg, tearing off
the overalls and trousers and scrap
ing some of the skin.
Even this did not daunt Billy, for
on the next throw he succeeded in
getting the bag over Bismarck's head.
When this was accomplished it was
an easy matter to remove the lion
from his cage, and in a short time
he was on his way to the menagerie
in Prospect park.
1t must not be presumed, however,
that Billy spends most of his time
escaping from wild animals. He is
good animal trainer, and has
taught some of the wild animals
tricks which are bound to prove in
teresting and amusing to spectators.

BILLY SNYDER'S TRICKY PETS.
Head Keeper in Central Park Zoo
Has Busy Time of 1t.

All who have followed through the
newspapers the career Of Billy Sny-
der, head keeper in the Central Park
menagerie, at New York, probably
were not surprised to read that the
famous trainer had gone to the Pres
byterian hospital to be treated for
severe case of blood poisoning.
Neither were they surprised to learn
that Billy has declared his intentions
of remaining at work while his ma
lady is receiving medical treatment
says the New York Sun.
Although Billy himself says ne
would like to take rest, he cannot
do so at this time because of COM
ing event in the zebra family. Billy
wishes to be on. hand when the baby
arrives so that he will be able to give
it the right start in the world and to
count it's stripes.
During his long service in the me-
nagerie Snyder has been cheWed,
clawed and even tossed around by an
enraged elephant. Yet in spite OF
all attacks by the animals he was
feeding, cleaning and manicuring, ne
never got discouraged and usually
succeeded in winning his point.
Snyder has been charged by an en-
ragged rhinoceros, clawed by an infu-
riated lion, struck down by treach-
erous elephant and cuffed and paved
by the big bears, but none of these
assaults has prevented him from 60
ing right back for more if by so do
ing he was performing his duty.
Luck is probably not the only elei
ment that has helped Billy to face the
attacks of so many infuriated ami
mails. His own skill, acquired
through years of experience and at
ter careful study of the nature and
movements of practically every wild
animal, has come in handy more than
once. Many times he knew intuitiVe-
ly just when lion or a tiger was
going to spring, and being foreWarn-
ed he was able to throw himself to
one side.
Another element that has widel!
figured in his remarkable escapes is
Billy's ability to keep clear head
when danger threatens. An mex
perienced person in the cage would
undoubtedly lose his sense of direc-
ton if the wild occupant were to at
tack him suddenly. The stranger
would forget the location of the exit;
but not so with Snyder.
In his devotion to duty Snyder has
been attacked many times. One in
stance in particular occurred in Oc-
tober, 1912. Snyder went into the

Padgett-Dorn Wedding.

Little Swamp Methodist church
was the scene of one of the prettiest
weddings of the season Thurs
day, September %, at noon, when
Miss Leila Dell Padgett, daughter OF
Isham Padgett, became theNbride of
Mr.. John Furman Dorm, of Dyson.
The decorations of the church, al
though simple, were tasteful, the
color scheme being pink, white and
green. In the rear of the church
was a bank of feathery ferns and pot
plants with tapers of white and pink
candles sparkling among the green,
which gave a soft mellow glow of
light. A double arch was arranged
and the chancel was entwined with
ivy vines dotted here and there with
pink and white roses. About 10 feet
from the arches was suspended a
white tissue bell.
The entrance of the bridal party
was announced by the bridal chorus,
to the strains of Mendelssohn's we'd
ding march, rendered by Miss Nora
Goodwin. First came the ushers,
Messrs. Robbie Goodwin, J. Zack
Harrison, Jr., Charlie Strickland and
J. P. Carter, who took their positions
one couple on the right, the other
on the left of the chancel. Next
came the attendants, Miss Mamie
Williams, Mr.. Leland Grason, of Col
Teton; Miss Sheba Goodwin, Mr.. Wal
ton B. Smith, of Ehrhardt; Miss An
ME, Harrison, Mr. John Miley; Miss
Ruth Garris, Mr.. Holland Padgett;
each couple passing slowly up the
aisle alternately crossing at the front,
arranging themselves in group
within the chancel. The maid of
honor was Miss Ora Bigby, of Honea
Path.
The little flower girl, Mary Lou
Goodwin, preceded the bride carry
ing a basket of pink and white roses
in shower effect in which was con-
cealed the wedding ring. The bride
carried bouquet of bride roses and
plumosa tied with white tulle. She
was dressed in a travelling suit of
blue. She came in on the arm of
the maid of honor, meeting the
groom and his best man, Mr.. Grover
c. Werts, of Ninety-SiX, under the
wedding bell.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. J. G.. Counts, of the Smoaks
charge.
The young couple left for Charles
ton and other points where they will
spend some time.
They will make their home at Dy-

the many guests. First a guessing
contest consisting of articles a bride
uses to make her trousseau was en-
joyed. The prize was won by Mrs.
R. B. Williams who presented it to
the bride-elect. Next the guests were
invited by the hostess into the din

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. A.
Strickland. Miss Bessie Harrison
distributed miniature wedding bells
to the guests as souvenirs. Miss An

ter. Later they were led into the
parlor where the "Old Oaken Bucket

after which the bride-elect was led
to a typical old we'll, in the centre
of which was suspended an old oak
en- bucket which was drawn up by
ninL ribbon that served as rope.
The bucket was filled to the brfm
with beautiful and useful presents
which were showered around the
