]. NJ. Tribett, Col, lost COW in
very peculiar way Wednesday morn
ing. She died suddenly and Dr. Thomp
kins was called and cut her open
and found piece of wire embedded
in her insides. 1t had worked hole
in one of the intestines and caused
large ulcer and finally one end work
ed round and touched her heart when
the end came for her suddenly 1t
is thought she swallowed the wire,
which is another reminder that peo-
pie should guard against their cattle
having access to foreign matter in
their feeding.
Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. j. M.

of having about one of the best gar

growing with great vlgor even while

it diligently and were amply reward

home grown stuff for the table all a.

ment has been well patronized IN
