I would get them out of my way by

tiger gave n great roar which made
people watching him shiver.
"Yes," snld the second tiger, "we nre
wild. We like to kill oxen and other
animals and then to eat them quickly,

"We're not against killing nnd ent

"Old elephants nren't so afraid of

"That's so." said the first tiger.
"there are some creatures who aren't

"That's tlio wny to he," said tho
first tiger. "Wo should continue to be

Then we see that no one takes ad

"It's all very well for some creatures
to become tamo and friendly and to bo

"Sumo creatures haven't enough

loin: been a theory that a cow would

regularly. The department of agri
culture tried It out on a scale suf
ficiently largo to mnko certain of the

Irregular milking, although regularity

nnd milking were Irregular, as Is the
case on many farms. It hns always

n cow would trlvo more milk If sho
bad water constantly before her than
If she were watered onco or twice a

the saving of Inbor rather than In a

Uiey possess marked uniformity.
