Inspired by the efforts of the Pen
dleton Meat co. to improve the grade
OF beef in this section by importing
registered bulls to pc sold to farm
ers practically without profit. M o.
Yates. well known cattle dealer. has
concocted the following "pome,"

for its literary merit as the practical
sentiments expressed.
What a well-knewn farmer said to
his wife:
/ tell you Ella. that Drindle COW will
have to go.
i know tits hard TO tell you so.
For every wrinkle on her horn
Proclaims Of wasted hay and corn.
Her hair stands on end like boards
on straw
And her back protrudes like the teeth
of a saw,
Her ribs show up Ike the poles Of
feed rack
Well, they may be called such. for
they have held many a hay stack.
