A Plains farmer one day recently, just as he was completing his milking, noticed some stock straying on the road near his gate, says the "Te Aroha News." Having had trouble with such animals at an earlier date, when they had come to conclusions with some of his fences, the farmer had no reason to feel particularly benevolent towards them. Accordjngly he rang the ranger up and they were lodged in the pound. That night, when Mr. Farmer assembled his herd at his shed, for some unaccountable reason th'ere were three short. Suddenly it dawned on him. The animals now languishing in the pound might be his own, having escaped through an open gate after being milked. He investigated this deduction, , f ound it correct, and was obliged to bail the three cows out arid frish them home to be milked.
