4 Bloom township farmer says that
he has pet catfish In a water tank
on his farm which serves useful
purpose. Whenever this farmer gets
the fever to fish he digs up a few
worms and throws them IA the tank.
If the pet fish grabs them up he knows
fish are biting and gets his fish pole
and hikes for the river If, on the
other hand, the fish pays no attention
to the worms he knows it is poor day
for fishing and lets his wife tell him
what she wants done and does It. SO
he never misses it and always returns
from the river with a string Of fish
like the proverbial small boy gets. 4
