TO BEAT A BULL.
I he tollowing lnetbod of snbjngating a wild bull is given by Hoard's Dairyman, and is probably a good enough one if they "do think of it": "Kvery little while there conies the story of a deadly conllict 011 the part of someone with a Iniil. 111 many instances t-itlier death or serious maiming ensues. In case a hull gets a person down and they can think of it, a good way to do is to run the thumb into one of tlie animal's eyes and turn his eye out 011 his cheek, it is astonishing how quickly this will change tbo current of thought ill all lig'.y bull. The .Mexicans will calcli a bull by (lie eyelid and calm him at once. When a man gets into a close corner wil.li a bitli anything is justifiable as a defence." -lust so, but we should like to hear of a sater and more easily accomplished way of escape from such a danger.
