Once Billy said to his father.
VIII you get me a goat? l want a
goat, because Ned's got one"
Bily's father said, wait, Billy,
until your birthday, and | will get
you one"
Billy cried for JOY. Billy's birth
day came and Billy's father and
Billy went to Illinois to get the goat.
When they arrived the farmers
hired hand came out, and Billy's
father told him that he wanted to
see the master of the house Soon
he came and they went to the
barnyard to see the goat. When
they got there the goat was tear
ing up some harness and his mas
ter took them away from him. The
goat was snowwhite with one big
black spot on his left side. The
master of the goat told Billy's
father that the goat was mischiev-
Gus, but Billy's father thought any
goat was mischievous. So he
bought him for SIS Billy was de-
lighted.
When they got ready to start
home, they put the goat in the
same car with them, and all ar
rived at the same time at the sta
ton. Then Billy's goat got out of
the crate and they chased him up
one square and down the other
They told some men who were
standing on the corner when he
ran past them again, to stop him.
But when he came around again he
knocked one man down and the
rest picked him up, and in the
meantime the goat got away, and
ran through the station and some
men in there caught him. They
again put him in the crate and put
the crate in Billy's fathers auto
mobile and started for home.
When they arrived home Billy
ran TO get the hammer to open the
crate and the goat, getting over
anxious, broke out of the crate
and jumped through the curtains
on the automobile and tore them.
This made Billy's father very
angry and he whipped the goat.
The goat gave jump and knocked
Billy'S father down and run to the
house for the door was left open
after Billy, and the goat jumped
on the table and was standing
there when Billy and his mother
came out of the other room.
Get off OF there" cried Billys
mother. Don't you ever let me
catch you in here again. Billy, you
take him out"
Billy ran for a rope to put
around his goats neck and in the
meantime the goat jumped off the
table and ran into the other room,
in doing which he knocked down
an expensive vase that had been
placed on the music stand.
Billy then came in with the rope
and took the goat out and tied
him to the fence and then went to
get a drink and in the meantime
the goat chewed the rope in two,
and ran to The barnyard and Billy
after him. When Billy got to the
Darnydrd he put the goat in one of

HE WAS HIT
BOTH BY LEAGUE
AND ~GRASSHOPPERS

Fergus Falls, Mimi. Feb. 4.-To be
hit by the Nonpartisan administration
and then a grasshopper plague for
two years has made farming an un-
profitable business in some counties in
northwestern North Dakota, according
out in the Towner neighborhood
we had q regular plague of %grasshop-
pers " years." said Mr.. Taylor.
There were some last year but not
very serious. Two years ago the grass
hoppers visited the country in swarms
and ate everything in sight. They
cleaned up h grain fields until, they
were as bare Is dirt roads. They
then went to the meadows and, ate
over the whole country or state but
seemed to either develop or come
down in different localities: sometimes
there would be tracks 10 miles apart
that would be destroyed, while the in
tervening vegetation was not"
Mr.. Taylor said that the best meth
Cd to battle the hoppers was by the use
of poison. He said the farmers would
go to the court house where large
quantities of bran, molasses. arsenic
and lemons had been purchased. A
mixture was made and this was spread
yer the fields. The grasshoppers
were fond of anything sweet and would
Feat the molasses with the arsenic.
This method was not Is effective
as another" said Mr.. Taylor. THE
second method was to arrange a can
vas in a big hay drag, put in some
molasses and drag it over. the fields.
The hoppers jumped into it as it
moved along and were then taken out
and burned. This method would have
been all right but for the fact hat it
was very difficult to cover much ter
ritory."
