"A FAIR COW!"

A dairyman residing near C'hristcliureh had amongst his mikih cows ■ one that was a terror to milk. She would kick with both legs and lie down in the bail, etc. After porsev- ' ering with her for some time, the dairyman decided to sell the outlaw, and, in order that would-be purchasers might think the coav had just come into profit, the owner got a call from 4 a neighbour and took both to

" tilt* Addiugton saleyards. Tlie deal 'was a most satisfactory one. On Wednesday last lie again attended the yard*, this time as a buyer, as his milk supply was diminishing. A nice cow, with a line strong call, took his fancy. Ho secured ifc at a rather high figure, and arranged to have it taken to his place. Next morning, when the cows were driven into the

shed, the newcomer walked into the bail without the slightest trouble, but as soon as the leg-rope was put on she set to work with both legs and then lay down. If turned out this was the old eow which ho had sold two months previously. It had been dehorned, its tail cut, and other slight alterations made in its appearance.
