John Dooly of Jacksonville, N. J.,
has hit upon a plan that will hereafter
muke "switchtall" cows brlns h pre
mium. Instead of, as now, being mi
marketable. Dooly is the owner of a
brlnill"' cow that he has lieen com
pelled fur yearn to milk himself, His
hired men after the first trial of milk
ing the cow refused to remain longer
in Dooly's employ If compelled to put
up with the lathing of old brlndle'B
tail.
Dooly has tried for cluht years to
Ket rid of Hie cow, but her fame lias
spread over Kssex and Morris coun
ties, and a purchaser for her could not
be found. She can snap her tail liko
n whip, and the risnlt la that Dooly's
face has not been minus several
pieces of sticking plaster for years.
Dooly said recently, "I have been
thinking lor some time of using the
! old liriadle's tail power to some good
i effect, iind at last hit upon a plan,
I which I have now put Into effect with
such good results that If any of tho
fanners around have any 'swltchtuil
cows they want to dispose of they will
find a linyi r at the Dooly farm.
"1 cut a hole through the side of tho
woodshed," continued Dooly, "just op
posite Hie circular saw, which we turn
by hand to cut up wood In Ftovo
lengths, and through this hole 1 put a
beam, which 1 balanced Just like the
walking beam of a ferryboat on the
North river. On the Inside end I
fastened a Hick lending down to the
wheel that turns the saw. On tho
outside I fastened a rope. 1 tried tho
thing and it worked line. Driving a

the old hilndle to it, and, fastening
her tail to the beam rope, sat. down to
milk. I called l'at Dugan, the farm
lielpir, and told him to feed wood to
the saw. lie thought at first I was
cra.. but I ordered him to do ns told.
"The next minute tho old brludlo
gave her tail a switch to swipe iu
across the face its usual, hut she
couldn't. The rope held, and she could
nly switch her tail so far. Then she
tried In the other direction, with the
same result, lty this time old brludlo ,
got pretty jnad and she Jerked that j
tall of her hack and forth as quick :

engine.
"It just took 15 minutes to tnllk old
brlndle, and in that time she cut up
two cords of wood Into stove lengths
No, Kir. I wouldn't take $000 for that
old hilndle cow now," concluded ;
