their valuablo hay. There is a shortage
as it is, and just hor to keop the noose
from helping thonselvos to 'it ^presents a
problem rith .rhich farmers have not as
yet been able to cope. ’♦Build a high
fonco around it,” the farmer ras told.
But—just hor high and strong rill that
fonco hove to be the famor rants to knor.
Then too—no nattor hor much hay tho noose
oats, the farmer dare not shoot him, no
natter hor short of neat he night be. "It's
all one sidodnthc farmer saysjand all in
favor of the'moose' at that.” Jind that’s
not the rorst of it--next fall Vhen tho
season open?, the .nooso rill be far aray
and acnr.cc. It hanpens overt time._‘
