A id father Went as near again
I tlio't the deuce was in him. Cho
It soared me so 1 ran the streets.
N, r stopped, as I remember.
Tili I got home, and safely Ixike 1
In granny’s little chamber. Cho.
And there I see a little keg.
its 1,, ails were made ef leather:
T iey knocked up. n it with bill • sticks.
To call the folks together. Cho
And there they’d fife away like fun,
And play on cornstalk fidul>->.
Ami some had ribbons r-d as blood.
All bound around their middles. Cho.
Tne troopers, too. would gallop up,
And fire right in our faces;
It scaled me almost half to death.
To see iheiu run such races Cho.
Unci ■ Sam c one there to change
Some pancakes and some onions.
For lasses cake to carry home
To give ins wife and young ones. Cho.
But 1 can't tell y u half I see.
The, k >pt up such a smother;
So I took my hat off, made a bow.
And scampered home to mother. Cho.
SHEET ANl* WOLVES.
A Good Way to Keep Wolves out of Lambs
Neckwear.
Hon. L. S. Coffin, Fort Dodge. lowa,
contributes the following valuable bit of
experience to the 0 J. Farmer: Strange
as it may seem, we are troubled more to
day with wolves than 30 years ago when
there were few settlers here, lor 12 years
prior to IS7O, I made a specialty of wool
growing—keeping from 300 to 1,000 sheep,
and during nil that time I am not aware
of losing a single sheep or lamb by wolves.
